DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL MONITORING SERVICES

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Commissioners adopted an amended resolution directing the County Mayor or designee to negotiate and award Contract No. EVN0016781, Disaster Debris Removal Monitoring Services, to Thompson Consulting Services, LLC. The contract is for an initial five-year term with one, five-year option to renew, and is for multiple county departments. The decision was made after considerable discussion regarding the scoring of proposals, with some commissioners expressing concern that the initially recommended vendor, Tetra Tech, Inc., was significantly more expensive than Thompson Consulting Services, LLC, despite a smaller point difference in scoring. Ultimately, the Board voted 7-3 to recommend Thompson Consulting Services, LLC, citing potential cost savings of approximately $1 million and the vendor's qualifications. The resolution was adopted as amended on June 16, 2026. Separately, the document also details the ratification of a 2026-2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement between Miami-Dade County and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, A.F.L.-C.I.O., Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department Employees Local 121, which includes various updates to work rules, wages, and benefits, with provisions to reopen negotiations on specific articles later.
