LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION

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

The Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-656-26 (File No. 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 also directs that if the bid waiver is not filed, the County Mayor must 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. The new solicitation will likely be issued for the South Dade Landfill site only, as the North Dade Landfill was deemed not viable. The resolution was adopted on July 21, 2026. The Policy Council forwarded it to the BCC on July 20, 2026, with a favorable recommendation with committee amendments. The item was introduced on July 17, 2026. The original item was File No. 260515. The applicant/developer is not stated; the resolution directs the County Mayor to negotiate a contract. The case number is 261339. The decision was adopted.

The business opportunity is a non-competitive, revenue-generating contract for a landfill gas conversion facility at the South Dade Landfill, with the negotiated contract to be brought back to the Board for approval.
