Roadway and Drainage

SW 1st Avenue Drainage Improvements

Scope of Work: Design, permitting and construction of the roadway, drainage system and sidewalk improvements along SW 1 Ave. from Mowry Drive to SW 1 Street.
Budget: Design - $72,720; Construction - $150,000
Project Period: June 2024 - September 2026

Scope of Work:
- Enhance the multimodal transportation within the project area which includes installation of sidewalks, accessibility ramps and new trolley shelters.
- Krome Avenue Corridor - Reconstruct and upgrade the underground utilities along Krome Avenue from NW 4 Street to Lucy Street; and reconstruct Krome Avenue from NW 4 Street to MDC Busway, including new drainage system, sidewalks, lighting, landscaping and irrigation system.
Budget: $11.8 million - Florida Transit Authority (FTA) grant, PTP (City) and other funding
Project Period: July 2024 - March 2028

Scope of Work: Enhance and upgrade the water and sewer infrastructure on Flagler Avenue between Krome Avenue and Campbell Drive.
Budget: $786,000
Project Period: July 1, 2024 - June 2027

Scope of Work: The projects' goal is to mitigate the impacts of storms that produce heavy rainfall through the installation of a new stormwater system along East 6^th Avenue (NE & SE) from US1 to 328^th Street. The development of these crucial infrastructure elements will protect the area’s residents, emergency responders, and property from the direct impacts of flooding caused by increased weather events from climate change.
Budget: $1.25 million - Grant-funded by Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Resilient Florida Program
Project Period: February 24, 2023 - September 30, 2026

Scope of Work: Complete a Citywide comprehensive vulnerability assessment (VA) pursuant to Section 380.093, Florida Statutes (F.S.) as well as develop Local Mitigation Strategy. The project will include public outreach and stakeholder engagement. The VA will identify flood vulnerabilities by conducting exposure and sensitivity analyses. The plan will focus on using historical data, current conditions and modeling to identify vulnerable critical infrastructure and provide strategies for adaption of these assets to meet the growing threat caused by climate change and sea-level rise.

Project Period: October 17, 2023 - September 30, 2026

Scope of Work: The City’s stormwater system is essential for managing rainwater and preventing flooding. However, parts of the system are outdated, and the City lacks detailed information on its condition and capacity. Conducting a full survey of the stormwater infrastructure—including all outfalls—is essential to determine how well the current infrastructure can handle typical and extreme storm events, locate areas where the system is damaged, undersized, or otherwise underperforming, and provide accurate data needed for future capital improvement projects, grant applications, and compliance with regulatory requirements. This survey will provide much needed inventory and assessment to enable the City to establish a comprehensive Geographic Information System (GIS) for the stormwater drainage infrastructure. This assessment is a critical step toward developing long-term solutions for stormwater management, improving system performance, and reducing flood risk in vulnerable areas of the City.
