AIRBALL SPORTS - AWARD

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 agreement is for an eight-year term with a one, two-year option to renew, with projected revenues of $17,000,000.00 for the Miami-Dade Aviation Department. The contract requires Airball to finance, operate, and maintain the retail concession in Concourse D, ensuring compliance with MDAD standards and providing exceptional customer service. The waiver of competitive bidding is recommended because Airball holds exclusive rights to operate a Miami Heat franchise retail store at MIA. The item was deferred by the Aviation and Seaport Committee and a deferral was requested to no date certain by Commissioner Cohen-Higgins.
