ELECTRICAL OVERSIGHT (LIGHTSPEED) - RATIFICATION (327226)

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is set to ratify an emergency contract for electrical infrastructure oversight and maintenance services for the Lightspeed Facility. The contract, valued at $358,256.00, is awarded to Solares Electrical Services, Inc. This emergency action was necessitated by a construction incident on April 25, 2025, involving Suffolk Construction Company, Inc., which compromised the electrical systems of the Lightspeed Facility. Lightspeed houses critical operations including the 911 call center, 311 operations, and the Real Time Crime Center. Solares Electrical Services, Inc. was already on-site performing work and was deemed uniquely qualified due to their existing knowledge of the facility's systems. The County is pursuing remedies against Suffolk Construction Company, Inc. for costs incurred. The Board of County Commissioners will authorize the County Mayor or designee to exercise all contract provisions. The item is on the consent agenda for July 21, 2026.
