Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering a resolution to approve a contract award to Cherokee Enterprises, Inc. for the Miami International Airport (MIA) Fuel Storage Facility Expansion - Phase 1. The project involves the installation of a new 4-million-gallon jet fuel storage tank and associated infrastructure to increase MIA's fuel reserves. The contract amount is not to exceed $45,856,233.51, with a contract period of 730 consecutive calendar days. The Aviation Department is the requester, and the project is identified as MDAD Project No. W019A. The Aviation and Seaport Committee forwarded the item to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation. The project aims to enhance airport infrastructure, support growing passenger demand, and strengthen MIA's role as a leading U.S. airport. The expansion will double MIA's current fuel storage capacity from 12 million gallons to 24 million gallons upon completion of both phases.
