Engineering Design Services for SW 208th Avenue Roadway Improvements

The City of Pembroke Pines is seeking statements of qualifications from qualified firms, hereinafter referred to as the Consultant , to provide engineering design and related services for the construction of 208th Avenue from Pines Boulevard to Pembroke Road, as presented in its 5-Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) , in accordance with the terms, conditions, and specifications contained in this solicitation.

Section 5.08 of the City Charter requires that each year the City Manager prepare and submit to the City Commission, as part of the budget package, a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) for the 5-year period following the new budget year. The CIP is a planning document and does not authorize or fund any projects. However, all projects are reviewed by the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, and Finance Director during the CIP preparation process. The CIP includes both capital outlay and capital projects. Capital outlay refers to purchases of long-term assets costing $10,000 or more with a useful life over one year. Capital projects are specific large-scale initiatives that involve planning, funding, and managing capital improvements or infrastructure work.

The proposed project involves the design and construction of a cost-effective two-lane roadway along 208th Avenue, within an area that is partially developed and constrained by existing infrastructure and multiple ownership jurisdictions. Portions of the corridor near the Waste Management facility are already constructed, while other segments require new development, including a critical bypass or bridge solution adjacent to the Pembroke Pines Fire Training Facility. The project must also address canal modifications to support roadway alignment and drainage, as well as coordinate with property owners such as the Walden Lake Homeowners' Association and the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) to secure necessary easements and approvals.

This solicitation is being conducted in accordance with the Consultants’ Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA), Florida Statutes 287.055. Due to the anticipated construction value of individual projects, the City will not be utilizing its continuing contracts for these services.
