Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · resolution

The document is a legislative item for Miami-Dade County, File Number 260743, a Resolution (R-540-26) adopted on 6/16/2026, authorizing additional expenditure authority of $1,901,390.00 for a total modified contract amount of $16,558,190.00 for Contract No. FB-00446, Towing Services, for the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) and the People and Internal Operations Department (PIOD). The contract expires on March 31, 2027. The additional allocation is for DTPW ($1,247,500) and PIOD ($653,890). DTPW's need is tied to expanded transit operations, including the South Corridor TransitWay and the planned November 2026 opening of the South Dade Transit Operations Center (SDTOC), which will house 100 articulated electric buses. PIOD's need is due to a 16% average annual increase in tows and a 29% increase in per-tow prices since 2022. The contract includes four groups: Group A (All County Departments except DTPW Buses Only and RER Disposals), Group B (DTPW Buses Only), Group C (RER Only for North and South Zones), and Group D (Prequalification Pool to Quote Specialized Tows). The item was introduced on 4/22/2026, forwarded with a favorable recommendation by the Transportation Cmte on 5/12/2026, deferred on 6/2/2026, and adopted on 6/16/2026.
