LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION

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

The Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-656-26 (File Number 261339) 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. The original staff recommendation to reject all proposals under RFP No. EVN0019329 was amended by the Policy Council. The resolution directs the County Mayor to bring back a negotiated contract for approval, or alternatively, if the bid waiver is not filed, to provide a report to the Board by September 1, 2026. 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 project involves design, construction, financing, operation, and maintenance of a landfill gas conversion facility to produce Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). The cost to the developer to design and build each facility was estimated to be over $30,000,000. Five proposals were received under the original RFP, 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 not considered viable. The decision was adopted on July 21, 2026. The resolution was introduced on July 17, 2026. The Policy Council forwarded it to the BCC on July 20, 2026. The original item was File No. 260515. 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.
