ELECTRICAL OVERSIGHT (LIGHTSPEED) - RATIFICATION (327226)

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) 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 at 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 County is pursuing remedies against Suffolk Construction Company, Inc. for costs incurred. The contract is for the People and Internal Operations Department (PIOD) and is funded by General Funds from the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget. The County Mayor or designee is authorized to exercise all contract provisions. No public comment is stated in the document.
