AMENDMENT NO. 2 AECOM PSA

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-297-26 on April 21, 2026, approving Amendment No. 2 to the Professional Services Agreement (PSA) with AECOM Technical Services, Inc. (Contract A19-ISD-02 GOB ESP). This amendment extends the PSA term by 10 months, through May 31, 2026, and authorizes an additional expenditure of $335,050, bringing the total modified contract amount to $6,008,597. These funds are for AECOM to continue providing architectural and engineering construction management services as the Owner's Representative for the New Civil and Probate Courthouse Project, including oversight of final completion activities and closeout documentation. The extension is necessitated by delays attributed to the Developer (Plenary Justice Miami, LLC), which caused Occupancy Readiness to be 606 days late. The funding is from Building Better Communities General Obligation Bond funds. A 10% Small Business Enterprise-Architectural and Engineering Services goal was applied to the original contract but does not apply to this amendment.

MICROSOFT OTR

Miami-Dade County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-392-26, authorizing a non-competitive designated purchase to exercise a three-year option to renew for Microsoft Software Licensing Solution Partner (Contract No. EVN0000270). This renewal, with an expenditure authority of $57,603,500, brings the total modified contract amount to $105,603,500. The contract is for the Communications, Information and Technology Department (CITD) on behalf of County departments and Constitutional Offices. The renewal is necessary to continue acquiring Microsoft software licenses, maintenance support, and related technology solutions, including cloud-based services like Microsoft Azure, which are critical for countywide operations, cybersecurity, and AI initiatives. The increased cost reflects Microsoft's pricing structure changes, including AI capabilities and enhanced security features. The County engaged in negotiations to secure more favorable pricing prior to Microsoft's scheduled price increases in July 2026. A prior competitive solicitation (ITB No. EVN0031348) was rejected due to changes in operational needs and a shift to cloud infrastructure, with the lowest responsive bidder's pricing matching the negotiated renewal price. The County plans to issue a new competitive solicitation in the future to avoid future designated purchases. The User Access Program, Small Business Enterprise Bid Preference, and Local Preference apply.

Miami-Dade County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-392-26, authorizing a non-competitive designated purchase to exercise a three-year option to renew for Microsoft Software Licensing Solution Partner (Contract No. EVN0000270) with Crayon Software Experts LLC. This renewal, for the Communications, Information and Technology Department on behalf of County departments and Constitutional Offices, includes an expenditure authority of $57,603,500.00, bringing the total modified contract amount to $105,603,500.00. The renewal is necessary to continue acquiring Microsoft software licenses, maintenance support, and related technology solutions, including cloud-based services like Microsoft Azure, which are critical for County operations, cybersecurity, and AI initiatives.

The County engaged in negotiations to secure favorable pricing prior to these increases. A prior competitive solicitation (ITB No. EVN0031348) was rejected due to changes in operational needs and a shift to cloud infrastructure, though a price comparison showed the negotiated OTR pricing was equivalent to the lowest responsive bidder of that ITB. The contract, originally approved on May 2, 2023, has a current cumulative allocation of $48,000,000 and expires May 31, 2026. The renewed contract will expire on May 31, 2029. The County Mayor or designee is authorized to exercise all contract provisions. The User Access Program applies, and Small Business Enterprise Bid Preference and Local Preference were applied.

NETWORK SOLUTIONS (INTERNET COLOCATION) - LEGACY

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-389-26, approving the award of a non-competitive legacy contract (L-10560) for Integrated Network Solutions to Equinix, Inc. The contract is valued at $3,655,140.00 for an initial three-year term with one, two-year option to renew. This contract provides colocation space for the County's technology network infrastructure, ensuring secure and reliable internet and communication services for the Communications, Information and Technology Department (CITD). The decision was made due to the significant risks, service disruptions, and prohibitive costs associated with relocating the County's existing colocation space, which is located at the Nap of the Americas. Market research and RFI processes failed to identify alternative vendors capable of providing a comparable integrated solution. Public comment is not stated in the document.

The decision was made because alternative options would involve significant delays, service disruptions, and high unbudgeted expenses. Market research, including RFIs sent to over 472 vendors, yielded no viable competitive responses.

VETERINARY SERVICES

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners approved a resolution authorizing the waiver of competitive bidding procedures for veterinary services. This allows multiple county departments, including Animal Services, Aviation, Corrections and Rehabilitation, and Fire Rescue, to directly contract with veterinary service providers. The waiver is for up to five years, with an aggregate amount not to exceed $8,542,837.00. The decision was based on difficulties in obtaining specialized veterinary services through traditional bidding processes, as past solicitations resulted in non-responsive vendors. The county aims to ensure critical and life-saving veterinary care for county animals, police canines, and search and rescue canines. The waiver allows for direct non-competitive purchases and contract negotiations. The Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee amended the item on 4/15/2026.

VETERINARY SERVICES

Miami-Dade County Commissioners are considering a resolution to waive competitive bidding procedures for veterinary services. This waiver would allow multiple county departments, including Animal Services, Aviation, Corrections and Rehabilitation, and Fire Rescue, to directly contract with veterinary service providers for up to five years. The aggregate amount for these services is not to exceed $8,542,837.00. The justification for waiving competitive bidding includes the specialized and unpredictable nature of veterinary care, past difficulties in soliciting responsive bids, and the practice of other governmental jurisdictions. The Animal Services Department will receive the largest allocation ($6,900,000) for spay/neuter services, pet retention support, and life-saving care for shelter pets. Other departments will use their allocations for the health of their canine units and specialized support canines. The resolution authorizes the County Mayor or designee to negotiate, approve, and execute contracts. The matter was amended and sent to the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on 4/15/2026.
