West Avenue Phase II Improvements - North of 14 Street Update
The purpose of this Letter to Commission (L TC} is to provide an update to the Mayor and City
Commission for the West Avenue Phase II Improvements - North of 14 Street (the Project). More
specifically, the update is regarding upcoming construction activities within the right-of-way on
West Avenue between Lincoln Road and 17 Street.
To limit construction impacts and disruption to the neighborhood, the Project has been divided
into nine (9) segments. The construction of Segment 1, which includes the pump station at the
P-24 parking lot located at 1671 West Avenue, started on January 2, 2024. The contractor, Ric-
Man Construction Florida, Inc., is ready to commence installation of the underground utility
included in Segment 1 of the Project, which extends from the stormwater pump station to the
outfall pipe at the property located at the northwest corner of 17" Street and West Avenue,
adjacent to the Collins Canal.
The design-builder, Ric-Man Construction Florida Inc., has obtained the necessary permits for
this work and the City has issued a Partial Notice to Proceed (NTP) effective June 17, 2024.
Construction activities will include installation of a 48" storm drain line, an 84" force main from the
pump station to the outfall at Collins Canal and the construction of the related underground
structures.
Message boards have been installed as of June 4, 2024, advising drivers of upcoming road work
and traffic changes. The Maintenance of Traffic (MOT) devices will be installed on June 13, 2024,
and construction is anticipated to commence on June 17, 2024, for a duration of approximately
four (4) months. During this period, the portion of West Avenue, between Lincoln Road and 17
Street, inclusive of the intersection at 17" Street (Exhibit A), will experience intermittent detours
and limited closures to vehicular traffic. Pedestrian access will be maintained. The area residents
and the West Avenue Neighborhood Association are being advised of the upcoming work through
a project advisory and mass e-mail (Exhibit B).
Should you have any questions, please contact David Gomez, Interim Director, Office of Capital
Improvement Projects, at 305-673-7071.

Installation Starts June 17
Project update sent: June 12, 2024
What's New
Beginning Monday, June 17, the West
Avenue Phase 2 underground utility
installation within the roadway will begin.
The work will take place on West Avenue
between Lincoln Road and 17 Street
(Segment 1). Watermain and the outfall
pipe will be installed from the pump station
site within the city-owned parking lot at
1671 West Avenue (next to the U.S. Post
Office) to the green space on the northwest
corner of West Avenue and 17 Street.
Work Phases
This roadway work will be broken into five
phases and is expected to take several
months. The first phase, starting on
Monday, June 17, includes the closure of
northbound West Avenue between Lincoln
Road and 17 Street. A detour will be
established to guide drivers around the
work. Access will be maintained for
pedestrians throughout the area.

Project Overview and Benefits
The project's critical upgrades represent a comprehensive neighborhood improvement
program, focused on resolving challenges associated with climate impacts and aging
infrastructure. The proposed improvements within the West Avenue neighborhood include
replacement of the existing water distribution/transmission systems and gravity sanitary
sewers; installation of a robust storm water drainage collection and pumping system,
including the raising of the paved roads, sidewalks and harmonization within the adjacent
private properties; installation of street and pedestrian lighting; installation of new traffic
signals and mast arms; installation of landscaping and irrigation; and construction of a
segment of new Baywalk.

Pump Station Work
The parking lot will remain fenced and closed as work continues. All construction
associated with the pump station is anticipated to last approximately two years. Please
note, this schedule may change due to weather or unforeseen circumstances.
Next Steps
The underground utility and roadway work within the West Avenue neighborhood is being
scheduled. A pre-construction public meeting will be conducted prior to the start of
neighborhood work for Segments 2 through 9.
