COMPETITIVE CONTRACT FOR RAIL PARTS AND SERVICES

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted a resolution ratifying a contract with Hitachi Rail STS USA for the purchase of rail parts. The contract, valued at $6,729,260.00, is for rail vehicle trucks needed for replacements due to accidents and derailments, and for six-year overhauls. The contract was awarded on December 21, 2023, but ratification was delayed, prompting concerns from Commissioner Bermudez about timely reporting. Mayor Levine Cava acknowledged the delay was due to a system transition and stated a new system is in place to prevent recurrence. The procurement process involved an Invitation to Quote under a prequalification pool, with only one bid received due to OEM requirements and system compatibility. The components are essential for maintaining fleet reliability and safe operations of the Metrorail system. The contract term is six months and funded by Mobility Impact Fees.
