Board of County Commissioners · 2026-09-01 · resolution

Miami-Dade County legislative item File Number 261158 is a Resolution before the Board of County Commissioners, introduced 6/24/2026, agenda date 9/1/2026, agenda item 8P4. It authorizes additional expenditure authority of $12,879,707.00 for a total modified cumulative pool amount of $18,896,707.00 for Prequalification Pool No. EVN0000187, Dewatering and Tank Cleaning Services, for the Water and Sewer Department (WASD). The pool was established October 3, 2023, via Resolution No. R-871-23, modified via Resolution No. R-556-25, and expires November 30, 2028. The current cumulative allocation is $6,017,000. WASD's existing cumulative allocation is $4,517,000, with the additional allocation of $12,879,707, making a modified cumulative allocation of $17,396,707, funded by Proprietary Funds FY 25-26 Adopted Budget, Volume 3, Page 100, Contractual Services. Multiple other departments have an existing cumulative allocation of $1,500,000 with no additional allocation. Any contract award under the pool exceeding $5,000,000.00 must be ratified by the Board. The Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee forwarded it to the BCC with a favorable recommendation on 7/15/2026. The pool provides services including tank cleaning, sludge removal, dewatering, vacuum truck services, hydro-excavation, and related maintenance. The request is driven by WASD's higher-than-anticipated utilization, including a temporary dewatering system at the North District Wastewater Treatment Plant (NDWWTP) costing over $2 million due to reduced capacity at the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant (CDWWTP) at Virginia Key. The funding will also support cleaning of 10 contact basins at the Alexander Orr, Hialeah, and Preston Water Treatment Plants. Prequalified vendors include Envirowaste Services Group, Inc., Flotech Environmental, LLC (SBE), Merrell Bros., Inc., Synagro South, LLC, and U.S. Submergent Technologies, LLC. The impact is countywide. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
