BIOSOLIDS REJECT & AWARD

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-493-26, approving the award of Contract No. EVN0037379 for the hauling and disposal of dewatered biosolids (Group 2) to Waste Management Inc. of Florida for $101,251,800.00. This contract includes an initial five-year term with one, five-year option to renew for the Water and Sewer Department. The resolution also rejected all bids received for Group 1, which pertains to hauling and disposal of dewatered biosolids, due to recent changes in Florida law impacting disposal options and increasing bid prices. The services for Group 2 involve hauling and disposal of grit and mechanical screenings from the County's wastewater treatment plants. The decision was made on June 2, 2026, following a recommendation from the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on May 13, 2026. The estimated annual allocation for Group 2 is higher than the current contract due to increased quantities and unit pricing.
