LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

The Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-656-26 (File No. 261339) on July 21, 2026, directing the County Mayor to negotiate a non-competitive, revenue-generating contract for a landfill gas conversion facility at the South Dade Landfill site, subject to filing a waiver of formal bid procedures, and to bring the negotiated contract back to the Board for approval. If the bid waiver is not filed, the County Mayor must provide a report to the Board by September 1, 2026. The original staff recommendation to reject all proposals under RFP No. EVN0019329 was amended by the Policy Council on July 13, 2026. The RFP was issued July 8, 2025, and five proposals were received by October 15, 2025, all deemed non-responsive by the County Attorney's Office on December 29, 2025. The new solicitation will likely be for the South Dade Landfill site only, as the North Dade Landfill was deemed not viable. The cost to design and build each facility was estimated at over $30,000,000. The South Dade Landfill is located at 23707 SW 97th Avenue, Homestead, FL. The North Dade Landfill is located at 21500 NW 47th Avenue, Miami, FL. The vendors not recommended for award were Apex One Home Inspections Corp., Mobius Fuels, LLC, Nopetro Energy, Sagepoint Energy Landfill Holdco, and Waga Energy, Inc., all deemed non-responsive. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
