ELECTRICAL OVERSIGHT (LIGHTSPEED) - RATIFICATION (327226)

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

Miami-Dade County Commissioners are set to ratify an emergency contract for electrical infrastructure oversight and maintenance services at 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. The facility 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 to provide immediate oversight and maintenance to prevent disruption to these essential services. The County is pursuing remedies against Suffolk Construction Company, Inc. for costs incurred.
