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 action seeks to authorize an additional three-year extension and an expenditure of $19,411,303.00, bringing the total modified cumulative amount to $81,897,586.00 for multiple County departments. This extension is intended to provide time for the Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) to transition these services from contracted vendors to in-house operations. The largest users requiring additional expenditure authority include the Housing and Community Development (HCD) department ($6,500,000), Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) ($6,500,000), Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation (MDCR) ($1,980,000), People and Internal Operations Department (PIOD) ($1,436,000), and Water and Sewer Department (WASD) ($1,701,525). The contract was originally approved in 2013 and awarded to multiple vendors, including Waste Connections of Florida, Inc. and Waste Management, Inc. of Florida. The item was introduced on 7/6/2026 and deferred on 7/15/2026.
