Cutler Bay consultants and contractors collect regional APWA awards; town cites ARPA funding and under‑budget savings
Summary
Public Works Director Alfredo Quintero announced that several consultants and contractors tied to Cutler Bay projects won APWA South Florida and Florida chapter awards for stormwater and roads projects; the town said some projects came in under budget and ARPA reimbursements were approved.
Public Works Director Alfredo Quintero used the April 16 council meeting to highlight awards earned by local consultants and contractors for road and stormwater projects and to note budgetary impacts tied to ARPA funding.
Quintero said Kimley‑Horn’s Stefano Viola received honors for stormwater work, SRS Engineering won consultant awards for Southwest 82nd Avenue, and contractors Mago Inc. and RG Underground were recognized for construction achievements. Quintero called attention to the town’s consultants and contractors receiving a combined total of nine industry awards.
Quintero also announced a "surprise" president's award he will receive for branch excellence. The director and town manager noted that several of the recognized projects were completed on time and under budget — one project finished more than $230,000 under budget and another by more than $160,000 — and that the town plans to transfer $392,000 in savings toward Frangill Road under ARPA policy.
Ralph told the council the town submitted a voluntary cleanup reimbursement request of $94,000 to the state (FDEP) and that $47,000 has been approved for reimbursement to date, with the remainder payable once brownfields cleanup is complete.
The announcements were presented as informational; no council votes were taken on the awards or transfers at the meeting.
