EMERGENCY PUSH AND CLEAR

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted a resolution authorizing a three-year extension for Prequalification Pool No. RTQ-00867, which provides Emergency Push & Clear and Debris Removal Services for multiple county departments. This extension is time-only and does not request additional expenditure authority. The pool is used on an as-needed basis during declared emergencies for services such as pushing, clearing, and hauling debris, stump removal, and hazardous tree/limb removal. The extension aims to maintain efficiency and reduce administrative work for both the county and existing vendors. The pool was originally established in 2018 with an allocation of $330,000,000. Currently, there are 12 active prequalified vendors, nine of whom have local addresses. Contract awards under the pool exceeding $5,000,000, or $1,500,000 for the Miami-Dade Aviation Department, require ratification by the Board. Due diligence was performed on vendors, with two vendors (T.F.R. Enterprises, Inc. and Thomas Maintenance Services, Inc.) noted as having ongoing litigation, though one is under proposed settlement, and T.F.R. and Weed-A-Way, Inc. had prior resolved litigation histories. No issues were identified that adversely impacted the County's pool or vendor responsibility.
