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. The contract, valued at $358,256.00, is awarded to Solares Electrical Services, Inc. for the People and Internal Operations Department. This emergency action was necessitated by a construction incident on April 25, 2025, involving Suffolk Construction Company, Inc., which compromised the electrical systems at the Lightspeed Facility. Lightspeed is a critical facility housing the County's 911 call center, 311 operations, and the Real Time Crime Center. Solares Electrical Services, Inc. was chosen due to their existing presence and familiarity with the facility's electrical systems. The Board is authorizing the County Mayor or designee to exercise all provisions of the contract, including cancellations and extensions. The County is pursuing remedies against Suffolk Construction Company, Inc. for costs incurred.
