Project Grant
Overview
Grant Description
Award Purpose
The project consists of two elements: 1. Expanded intermodal rail capacity and 2. Cargo gate optimization.
The rail capacity component will construct two new rail tracks approximately 3,200 feet long with access rail, acquire three new electric rubber tired gantry cranes, reconstruct apron areas on all sides of the track, install LED lights, and reconstruct the stormwater drainage system to address sea level rise.
The cargo gate optimization project will include roadway realignments to and from cargo gates, rehabilitation of the stormwater management system to address sea level rise, cargo gate canopies, staging areas for trucks, direct access to rail yard gates, relocation of cargo gate support and terminal offices, and technology including RFID readers, OCR (Optical Character Recognition), WIM scales, remote inspection equipment, and a gate management system.
Activities to be Performed
This project will fund three components at PortMiami: design criteria package, expanded intermodal rail capacity, and cargo gate optimization.
Component 1: Initial Design Criteria Package
The design criteria documents for the expanded intermodal rail capacity project consist of the following submittals: preliminary program and refined conceptual design and rough order of magnitude construction cost estimates.
Design criteria package with detailed parameters and narratives including track conceptual layout and footprint, sustainable design requirements, utilities, gantry crane hurricane tie downs, truck turning analysis, etc., for a design-build contractor to successfully build the project.
Technical specifications for the electric rail gantry cranes to align with the expanded intermodal rail design.
Component 2: Design Build Expanded Intermodal Rail Capacity
Construction of the access rail track: two new tracks approximately 3,200 feet long each and installation of a railroad switch to the tracks within the intermodal rail yard.
Removal and replacement of existing pavement.
Reconstruction of apron area including filling and grading to create a stable base for the train tracks and apron.
Reconstruction of stormwater drainage structures and placement of asphalt paving in the apron area.
Installation of additional LED lights as required for security purposes.
Additional cargo handling equipment including three (3) Buy America compliant new electric rubber tired gantry cranes (E-RTG) to be acquired by PortMiami to load and unload the containers from the trains.
Component 3: Design Build Cargo Gate Optimization
The optimization of the cargo gates will relocate and modernize the cargo gate system for one of PortMiami's primary container terminals and includes the following elements: roadway realignments to and from cargo gates.
This includes the improvements such as paving, fencing, and striping on the road leading to and from the relocated gates.
Rehabilitation of the stormwater management system to address sea level rise, high tides, storm events, and to minimize flooding.
New cargo gate canopies as required along both the inbound and outbound security gates.
New staging areas for trucks in the problem resolution area.
Direct access to intermodal rail yard security gates.
Relocation of cargo gate support and terminal offices to accommodate the new cargo gate system.
Gate modernization to include RFID readers, OCR, WIM scales, remote inspection equipment, and innovative technology for the gate management system.
Deliverables
Expected Outcomes
Performance measure table from Schedule G, page 10 of the grant agreement: gross tons or TEUs, economic competitiveness, the movement of gross tonnage or twenty-foot equivalent unit (TEU) of freight in the area defined by the project study area.
Secondary variable: type of intermodal transport (rail or truck) quarterly.
Average daily truck traffic (ADTT): economic competitiveness. ADTT measures the total volume of cargo at the port for the intermodal rail yard and the cargo yard and divides by the number of days per quarter.
Quarterly.
Intended Beneficiary: Miami-Dade County.
