LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · resolution

Resolution rejecting all proposals received in response to Request for Proposals No. EVN0019329, Development of Landfill Gas Conversion Project, for the Department of Solid Waste Management. The project was to design, build, finance, operate and maintain a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) system at the South Dade Landfill and North Dade Landfill sites. All proposals were deemed non-responsive by the County Attorney's Office. The rejection allows the County to update the solicitation and resolicit under full and open competition. The new solicitation will likely be issued for the South Dade Landfill site only, as proposals indicated the North Dade Landfill is not a viable site. The cost to the developer to design and build each facility was estimated to be over $30,000,000. The RFP was issued on July 8, 2025, the closing date was October 15, 2025, five proposals were received, issues were submitted to the County Attorney's Office on November 17, 2025, and the County Attorney's Office deemed all proposals non-responsive on December 29, 2025.
