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

[case 261351] This is a legislative matter, not a construction project. It is an ordinance to amend Miami-Dade County procurement code sections 2-10.4.01, 2-8.1.1.1.1, 2-8.1.1.1.2, and 2-8.5 to implement recommendations from the Special Task Force to Reduce Inefficiencies in Procurement. The changes relate to Small Business Enterprise (SBE) and Local Preference requirements, including standardized SBE participation percentages for architecture and engineering contracts (10% for task-based, 15% for defined-scope), automatic SBE set-asides for Invitations to Quote of $250,000 or less, replacing SBE participation goals with bid preferences, eliminating SBE Advisory Boards and Review Committees, and adding remedies for non-compliance on existing contracts. The ordinance was adopted on first reading on 7/21/2026 and is scheduled for a public hearing and second reading on 9/1/2026. No specific project site, address, parcel, or size is stated.
