Aviation and Seaport Committee · 2026-07-13 · resolution

This legislative item concerns a resolution to waive competitive bidding procedures and award a non-competitive revenue-generating contract, Contract No. BW-10479, for a Miami Heat-licensed merchandise retail concession at Miami International Airport (MIA) to Airball Sports II, LLC. The contract is for an eight-year term with one two-year option to renew, projected to generate $17,000,000.00 in revenue for the Miami-Dade Aviation Department. The item was deferred by the Aviation and Seaport Committee on July 13, 2026, at the request of Commissioner Cohen-Higgins for no date certain. Previously, it was deferred on May 11, 2026. The contract replaces an existing month-to-month lease and ensures continuity of operations for the unique, locally-branded retail concept.
