TOWING SERVICES

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-540-26, authorizing an additional expenditure of $1,901,390.00 for Contract No. FB-00446, Towing Services. This brings the total modified contract amount to $16,558,190.00. The additional funds are for the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) and the People and Internal Operations Department (PIOD) to ensure continuity of towing services for County vehicles, including sedans, trucks, mobile equipment, and buses. The increase accounts for higher towing requests and increased costs, particularly for DTPW due to expanded transit operations and specialized equipment for electric buses, and for PIOD due to a 16% annual increase in tow requests and a 29% price increase per tow since 2022. The contract, originally established in 2017, has a term expiring March 31, 2027. The Board deferred the item on June 2, 2026, before forwarding it with a favorable recommendation from the Transportation Committee on May 12, 2026.
