BACKGROUND
West Avenue is a 1.4 mile local roadway separated by the Collins Canal. West Avenue
currently connects to the MacArthur Causeway and Venetian Causeway via 17th Street. The
Sunset Harbour Neighborhood is currently experiencing many redevelopment activities with no
direct connection from West Avenue south of 17th Street. Multimodal access to the Sunset
Harbour Neighborhood is currently provided via Alton Road or via 17th Street and Purdy
Avenue. These roadways experience significant congestion and relief is needed.
Via Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 2014-115-SR, the City is saught proposals for the
development of construction contract documents for this West Avenue Bridge project in Miami
Beach, from Lincoln Road to 18th Street. The proposed bridge project should provide
enhanced highway system linkage and relieve heavily traveled roadways in the project's
vicinity. Finally the construction of a pedestrian bridge across the Collins Canal will provide
safer environment for pedestrians and bicyclists who seek to cross the Collins Canal without
using roadway system.
This RFQ is issued pursuant to Chapter 287.055, Florida Statutes, the Consultants
Competitive Negotiations Act (CCNA).
