AIRBALL SPORTS - AWARD

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

Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) is seeking to award a non-competitive revenue-generating contract, Contract No. BW-10479, to Airball Sports II, LLC for a Miami Heat-licensed merchandise retail concession at Miami International Airport (MIA), Concourse D. The proposed agreement is for an eight-year term with one, two-year option to renew, projected to generate $17,000,000.00 in revenue for the County. This contract replaces an existing month-to-month lease. The Aviation and Seaport Committee has deferred this item twice, most recently to no date certain, at the request of Commissioner Cohen-Higgins. During a previous deferral discussion, the committee received an update on the airport's concessionaire program, noting that implementation of design and refurbishment for concession areas was underway, with some areas slightly behind schedule but expected to recover. The department was also negotiating a pool of 45 firms for future solicitations. Public comment is not stated in this document.
