PELICAN HARBOR SEABIRD STATION

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 until April 1, 2027. The organization has been operating at this location since 1990 and is planning to relocate to a new facility. The agreement requires a two-thirds vote for approval. The Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department will manage the agreement. There is a minimal fiscal impact to the county, primarily for utilities, with Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, Inc. remitting an annual fee of $300.00. The Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee forwarded this item to the Board with a favorable recommendation.
