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 covers services such as pushing, clearing, and hauling vegetative debris, removal and disposal of stumps, and removal of hazardous leaning trees and hanging limbs. The extension aims to maintain access to prequalified vendors during declared emergencies, ensuring public safety and timely restoration of county facilities. Any contract award under this pool exceeding $5,000,000, or $1,500,000 for the Miami-Dade Aviation Department, requires ratification by the Board. The pool was originally established on November 8, 2018, with a cumulative allocation of $330,500,000, which remains unchanged. Currently, there are 12 active prequalified vendors, with nine having local addresses. Due diligence was performed on all vendors, with noted ongoing litigation for two vendors (T.F.R. Enterprises, Inc. and Thomas Maintenance Services, Inc.) and prior resolved litigation for T.F.R. Enterprises, Inc. and Weed-A-Way, Inc., none of which adversely impacted the County's pool. Public comment or stakeholder sentiment is not stated in this document.
