DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL MONITORING SERVICES

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

Miami-Dade County Commission adopted Resolution R-542-26, 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 intended to save the County approximately $1 million compared to the initially recommended vendor, Tetra Tech, Inc. The decision followed a discussion where Commissioners questioned the scoring process given the significant cost difference. Public comment was not explicitly stated, but Commissioners expressed concerns about cost savings and vendor selection criteria. The contract is activated post-disaster to monitor debris removal and ensure FEMA reimbursement eligibility.
