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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners approved an amended resolution authorizing an additional expenditure of $61,320,728.00 for Contract No. D-10253, Motorola Public Safety Radios and Capital Infrastructure. This brings the total modified contract amount to $121,320,728.00. The additional funds are for multiple county departments, including Miami-Dade Fire Rescue Department (MDFR), Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation Department (MDCR), and Communications, Information and Technology Department (CITD), to upgrade critical communications infrastructure. MDCR requires replacement of approximately 2,800 aging radios that have exceeded their 7-year useful life. The contract was initially approved in 2022 for $165 million. The Board voted 12-0 to adopt the amended resolution, which will be assigned Resolution No. R-539-26. Public comment included concerns about the cost per radio, reliance on a single vendor, and the timeline for MDCR to receive new radios.
