DEWATERING PREQUAL POOL - MOD

Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee · 2026-07-15 · resolution

Miami-Dade County's Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee is considering a resolution to authorize an additional expenditure of $12,879,707.00 for Prequalification Pool No. EVN0000187, which provides dewatering and tank cleaning services for the Water and Sewer Department (WASD). This would bring the total modified cumulative pool amount to $18,896,707.00. The additional funds are needed to cover current and anticipated operational needs, including planned maintenance, emergency repairs for aging infrastructure, increased system demand, and regulatory compliance. A specific example cited is the need for a temporary dewatering system at the North District Wastewater Treatment Plant due to failures at the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant, which incurred expenditures exceeding $2 million. The pool was initially established on October 3, 2023, and modified on a later date not specified, with a current value of $6,017,000. The pool expires on November 30, 2028. Contract awards under the pool exceeding $5,000,000.00 require ratification by the Board. Prequalified vendors include Envirowaste Services Group, Inc., Flotech Environmental, LLC, Merrell Bros., Inc., Synagro South, LLC, and U.S. Submergent Technologies, LLC. Due diligence was conducted, with one exception noted regarding a resolved litigation with Synagro South, LLC. The User Access Program and Small Business Enterprise measures apply where permitted, and Local Preference will be applied at the time of spot market competition. The Living Wage Ordinance does not apply.
