DATE: December 10, 2019
SUBJECT: NORTHBOUND ROAD CLOSUR - WASHINGTON AVENUE BETWEEN grH &
40" STREETS: 34-HOUR CONTINUOUS CLOSURE FOR CRANE SETUP TO
REMOVE TOWER CRANE LOCATED AT 915 WASHINGTON AVENUE
The purpose of this L TC is to update the Mayor and City Commission of a road closure request
submitted by Sims Crane on behalf of G.T. McDonald Enterprises, working at 915 Washington
Avenue.
The purpose of the requested road closure is to be able to remove the existing tower crane from
the site, using a 200-ton hydraulic crane setup in the northbound lanes of Washington Avenue
between 9" and 10" Streets.
Given the fact that setup and breakdown of the 200-ton hydraulic crane takes anywhere between
eight (8) to ten (10) hours, and the total time to complete the tower crane removal will be
approximately thirty four (34) hours, requiring a continuous road closure, staff recommends
commencing the closure between early Saturday morning (Decem ber 14, 2019) at 12:00am,
continuously through Sunday morning (Decem ber 15, 2019) at 10:00am.
The proposed Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) plan involves full closure of the northbound travel
lanes of Washington Avenue between 9" and 10 Streets. Motorists traveling northbound on
Washington Avenue will merge slightly west to the easternmost southbound lane on Washington
Avenue, continuing north on Washington Avenue to 10" Street, again merging slightly east to
continue north on Washington Avenue. Southbound traffic will be restricted to one lane between
10and 9 Streets.
The two-way traffic MOT (northbound and southbound) will be maintained within the southbound
(westerly) lanes of Washington Avenue between 9" and 10 Streets, with Miami Beach Off Duty
Police Officers strategically placed as illustrated on the attached MOT plans.
The Contractor has been working closely with the City to procure all necessary permitting and
select the best timeframe to accomplish this crane removal. Existing site conditions, proximity to
the school zone, location and topography of the site creates an extremely challenging situation,
where a 200-ton crane must be utilized to get the job done. Given the expected impacts to
Washington Avenue, staff and contractor have coordinated to schedule the work to occur
Saturday, Decem ber 14, 2019 through Sunday, Decem ber 15", 2019. Given that the crane and
removal equipment will not be available again before February 2020, the schools are closed over
the weekend, and to minimize the disruption during the holiday season, this timeframe is best
served to accomplish this tower crane removal.
Should you have any questions on the specifics of this road closure, please do not hesitate to
contact Roy Coley, Public Works Director at (305) 673-7080, or Jose Gonzalez, Transportation
Director at 2@,5) 673-7514. a..#s
