MIA Mover—Project Delivery in a Constrained Financial Environment

The MIA Mover is an elevated Landside Automated People Mover (APM) system that is being implemented at Miami International Airport (MIA) by the Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD). The MIA Mover will provide a convenient and reliable means for transporting passengers between a centrally located MIA station and the Miami Intermodal Center (MIC). One of the first elements of the MIC constructed under the supervision of the Florida Department of Transportation is a Consolidated Rental Car Facility which was recently completed and opened in July 2010. Other elements of the MIC programmed to come on line in the near future include links to the regional transit and commuter rail systems. MDAD commitments for the operational readiness date for the MIA Mover necessitated that the entire project (infrastructure and operating system) be procured under a single Design-Build-Operate-Maintain contract (inclusive of infrastructure and operating system). The DBOM Contractor was selected and the Contract was awarded in July 2008. This paper examines the project implementation process at an operating airport, in a constrained financial environment, with a special focus on project management initiatives that have kept the project on schedule and within budget while accommodating flexibility to support on-going strategic airport improvements to the ground transportation infrastructure and an airport city.
