LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) rejected all proposals for the Landfill Gas Conversion Project, identified by RFP No. EVN0019329. The rejection was due to all submitted proposals being deemed non-responsive by the County Attorney's Office (CAO). The project aimed to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) system to utilize landfill gas at the South Dade Landfill (23707 SW 97th Avenue, Homestead, FL) and North Dade Landfill (21500 NW 47th Avenue, Miami, FL). The estimated cost for developers to design and build each facility was over $30,000,000. The County plans to resolicit, likely focusing only on the South Dade Landfill site due to viability concerns with the North Dade Landfill. Feedback will be sought from the market to refine the new solicitation. Five proposals were received by the October 15, 2025 deadline. The Policy Council amended and forwarded the resolution to the BCC on July 13, 2026. The BCC agenda date was September 1, 2026.
