LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH KELCO

Transportation Cmte · 2026-07-14 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering a resolution to waive formal bid procedures and approve a retroactive license agreement with Kelco Dadeland Associates, Ltd. (Kelco). The agreement allows Kelco to continue using County-owned property near the Dadeland North Metrorail Station, specifically at the northeast corner of S.W. 70th Avenue and US-1, for maintaining an illuminated directional sign. This agreement replaces a previous one that expired on February 6, 2026. Kelco will pay $6,000 annually, with a three percent increase each year, for a five-year term with four five-year renewal options, totaling a potential 25 years and an estimated $218,755 in rent. The waiver of formal bids is necessary because Kelco is the only entity legally authorized to place the sign due to prior zoning variances and vested rights. The Transportation Committee forwarded this item to the Board with a favorable recommendation.
