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, and the closing date was October 15, 2025, with five proposals received. The County Attorney's Office deemed all proposals non-responsive on December 29, 2025. The item was amended at the Policy Council on 7/13/2026, with the amended version in Legislative File No. 261339. The resolution was introduced on 3/23/2026. The status is Amended. The final action is not stated. The agenda date is not stated. The agenda item number is 8P. The vendors not recommended for award were Apex One Home Inspections Corp., Mobius Fuels, LLC, Nopetro Energy, Sagepoint Energy Landfill Holdco, and Waga Energy, Inc., all deemed non-responsive by the CAO. The fiscal impact to the County for the rejection is none. The impact of the item is countywide in nature. The South Dade Landfill is in District 8, represented by Commissioner Danielle Cohen Higgins. The North Dade Landfill is in District 1, represented by Commissioner Oliver G. Gilbert, III. The Negotiator is Saba Musleh of the Strategic Procurement Department. The Mayor's recommendation is to approve the rejection. The Board action is not stated in the document text beyond the Policy Council amendment.
