GARBAGE COLLECTION

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

Miami-Dade County's Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee deferred a resolution (File Number: 261225) authorizing a non-competitive designated purchase for garbage collection and disposal services under Contract No. 6938-2/22. The proposed modification seeks to extend the contract by three years and add $19,411,303.00 in expenditure authority, bringing the total modified cumulative amount to $81,897,586.00. This extension is intended to provide sufficient time for the Department of Solid Waste Management to transition these services from contracted vendors to in-house operations. Several county departments, including Housing and Community Development (HCD), Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces (PROS), Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation (MDCR), People and Internal Operations (PIOD), and Water and Sewer (WASD), require additional funding due to increased service demands, changes in operational needs, and redevelopment activities. The contract was originally awarded in 2013 and has a current cumulative allocation of $62,486,283. The proposed new expiration date is May 31, 2031. The resolution was introduced on July 6, 2026, and deferred by the committee on July 15, 2026.
