BID WAIVER OF SOLE SOURCED MATERIALS

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners approved a resolution authorizing the Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) to specify certain sole-source materials and systems for Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. This decision allows for the procurement of unique legacy electrical, security, and safety systems and infrastructure components that are only available from a single supplier. Replacing these systems with alternatives would be impractical and cost prohibitive, estimated at $302,736,853.00 in replacement costs, along with significant schedule delays. The resolution ratifies the advertisement of two pending solicitations: Bid No. V100A for MIA CC J Gates Advanced Visual Docking Guidance System (A-VDGS) and Bid No. T012A for MIA CC H Gates & Internationalization. The approval aims to ensure compatibility, safety, performance, and long-term cost efficiency for MDAD's $12 billion Modernization in Action (M.I.A.) Program. No public comment was stated in the document.
