BID WAIVER OF SOLE SOURCED MATERIALS

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

Miami-Dade County Commissioners approved a resolution allowing the Aviation Department to specify certain sole-source materials and systems for identified Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. This authority, granted under Section 255.04, Florida Statutes, aims to expedite projects, minimize operational disruption, and ensure compatibility with existing proprietary infrastructure. The decision followed extensive discussion and an amendment requiring a market analysis comparing sole-source component prices to market prices and the cost of replacing existing systems. The estimated savings from this approach are over $302 million. The resolution applies to specific projects listed in Exhibit B, including major components of the D60 program, Central Terminal redevelopment, and North Terminal gate infrastructure upgrades. Two pending solicitations (Bid No. V100A and T012A) were ratified.
