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, to maintain an illuminated directional sign for the Hampton Inn. The agreement is effective retroactively to February 7, 2026, with an initial five-year term and four five-year renewal options, totaling a potential 25 years. Kelco will pay annual rent starting at $6,000, with a three percent increase each year. The waiver of formal bid procedures is necessary because Kelco holds vested rights and is the only entity legally authorized to place the sign due to prior zoning variances. The Transportation Committee forwarded this item with a favorable recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners.
