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 Service. The contract, number E-10684, is awarded to Solares Electrical Services, Inc. for $358,256.00. 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 is a critical facility housing 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 contract is for the People and Internal Operations Department. The County is pursuing remedies against Suffolk Construction Company, Inc. for costs associated with this emergency contract. The agenda date for this item is July 21, 2026.
