Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee · 2026-07-15 · resolution

Miami-Dade County legislative item requests additional expenditure authority of $12,879,707.00 for Prequalification Pool No. EVN0000187, Dewatering and Tank Cleaning Services, for the Water and Sewer Department, bringing the total modified cumulative pool amount to $18,896,707.00. The pool was established on October 3, 2023, via Resolution No. R-871-23 and modified via Resolution No. R-556-25, with a current cumulative allocation of $6,017,000. The pool expires on November 30, 2028. The item is a Resolution, File Number 261158, introduced on 6/24/2026, with an agenda date of 9/1/2026, agenda item number 8P, and status 'In Committee'. The requester is Strategic Procurement. The additional authority is specifically for WASD, the largest user of the pool, to continue purchasing services including tank cleaning, sludge removal, dewatering, vacuum truck services, hydro-excavation, and related maintenance. The need is driven by 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. Any contract award under the pool exceeding $5,000,000.00 is subject to ratification by the Board. Prequalified vendors listed include Envirowaste Services Group, Inc., Flotech Environmental, LLC (SBE), Merrell Bros., Inc., Synagro South, LLC, and U.S. Submergent Technologies, LLC. Due diligence noted a resolved litigation with Synagro South, LLC via Resolution No. R-769-23. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
