FROM:Genaro “Chip” Iglesias,City Manager
DATE:Tuesday, June 6, 2023
SUBJECT:Manor Lane Culvert Design Replacement at SW 64th Ct over Twin Lakes Canal
RECOMMENDATION:Approve the proposal and project work/purchase order with EXP US
Services, Inc. to provide design services for the replacement of the Manor
Culvert at 64th Court over the Twin Lakes Canal.
BACKGROUND:The Manor Lane roadway was observed to have settlements and cracks
throughout the area of the culvert at SW 64th Ct over the twin lakes canal.
The City of South Miami had a routine inspection performed on December
16, 2019, by Marlin Engineering and it was found that the Corrugated
Metal Pipe (CMP) walls are corroded throughout the entire length of the
structure on both sides at the water line. Corrosion of the CMP walls on
the exterior and exposed sections of the culvert is extensive, to the point
where the structure would be unstable under vehicle loading and Marlin
Engineering recommended the installation of load posting signs at both
approaches to the culvert.
Several meetings were held with Miami-Dade County Road, Bridge,and
Canals Division and,On September 9, 2021, Miami-Dade County installed
weight restriction signs leading to the culvert on Manor Lane and SW 64th
CT over the twin lakes canal. At this time ownership of the roadway was
not defined.
The City Staff and former City Attorney met several times with County staff
to define ownership and responsibility for the culvert replacement but at
that time it was not clear which agency has jurisdiction. 2

General Notes:
1. Structure is a Metal Corrugated Pipe (CMP) culvert.
2. Report has been revised to include additional recommendations. Report and recommendations are based
on field site assessment performed on December 16th, 2019.
National Bridge Inspection (NBI) Ratings:
Culvert: 3 - Serious
Channel: 7 - Good
Structural Assessment:
CMP walls are corroded throughout the entire length of the structure on both sides at the water line. Corrosion
of the CMP walls on the exterior and exposed sections of the culvert is extensive, to the point where structure
would be unstable under vehicle loading. Culvert section directly below roadway fill depicts corrosion with
significant material section loss at the water line. CMP wall could easy be punctured during the inspection
tactile operation.
Recommendations:
1.Install vehicle load posting signs at both approaches to the CMP culvert. Absent a load rating analysis,
it is recommended to restrict all vehicle loading to a maximum of 5 Tons. Intent is to restrict any and all truck
traffic. Load posting restriction could be increased, but would require a load rating analysis.
2.Replace CMP culvert.
3.Other Options:
a.Reinforcement of walls is possible, but it is not considered a long term solution. Overall life cycle cost
may not be practical considering overall structure age, condition of culvert, design and construction cost.
b.Installation of new and smaller dimensioned CMP culvert could be installed and encased with
flowable concrete fill. This option would require a feasibility study in addition to a hydraulic analysis
in order to determine drainage and volume capacities.
c.Replace culvert with a simple span bridge. This option will require a Project Development and
Environmental study to determine feasibility of a bridge structure at this location. Study should take into
consideration availability of right of way, environmental impact and structure geometry to meet required
design standards.
d.Recommend inspection frequency of every 6 months based on condition of existing culvert structure, until
corrective action is taken to secure the structural integrity of the culvert structure.
