SOUTH DADE PET ADOPTION CENTER

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

Miami-Dade County Commissioners are considering a resolution to delegate authority to the County Mayor to negotiate and execute an amendment to an existing Exchange Agreement with UniCapital Medley QOZB LLC. This amendment will modify the minimum design requirements and increase the County's financial contribution for the Animal Services Department South Dade Pet Adoption and Protection Center. The project's total cost is expected to increase from approximately $21,000,000 to $25,000,000, with an additional $3,000,000 allocated for design enhancements and $1,000,000 for a design and construction contingency. These enhancements are intended to improve facility performance, operational reliability, reduce disease spread, and support the County's no-kill policy. The resolution also proposes waiving a requirement for non-County parties to execute contracts before agenda placement. The project is located in Commission District 8.
