Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee · 2026-06-09 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering a resolution to waive competitive bidding procedures to approve a Programming Partnership Operating and Management Agreement between Miami-Dade County and Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, Inc. This agreement allows Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, Inc. to continue operating the Pelican Harbor Seabird Station for the care of sick and injured seabirds at Pelican Harbor Marina, 1279 NE 79 Street Causeway, Miami, Florida 33138, until their relocation to a new facility on or before April 1, 2027. The agreement requires a two-thirds vote for approval and includes yearly fees to the County of $300.00. The Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department will manage the agreement. Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, Inc. has been operating at this location since 1990 and cares for approximately 2,700 native wildlife patients annually. Delays in constructing their new facility have necessitated this extension.
