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

Miami-Dade County legislative item File Number 261158 is a Resolution before the Board of County Commissioners seeking additional expenditure authority of $12,879,707.00 for Prequalification Pool No. EVN0000187, Dewatering and Tank Cleaning Services, for the Water and Sewer Department. The total modified cumulative pool amount would be $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 $6,017,000.00. The item was introduced on 6/24/2026, forwarded to the BCC with a favorable recommendation by the Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee on 7/15/2026, and is scheduled for the BCC agenda on 9/1/2026 as item 8P4. The requested additional authority is for the Water and Sewer Department, the largest user of the pool, to continue purchasing services including tank cleaning, sludge removal, dewatering, vacuum truck services, and hydro-excavation. The need is attributed to 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. The pool expires on November 30, 2028. 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. The document does not state a decision on the resolution, only that it was forwarded with a favorable recommendation.
