The document is a legislative item for Miami-Dade County, File Number 261486, a Resolution to authorize an additional five years and $42,637,500 in expenditure authority for Prequalification Pool No. RTQ-02029, Plant Material and Tree Services, for multiple County departments, bringing the total modified cumulative pool amount to $109,045,800. The item was introduced on 8/19/2026, forwarded to the Board of County Commissioners with a favorable recommendation by the Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee on 9/9/2026, and is scheduled for the Board agenda on 10/6/2026 as item 8P12. The pool is countywide and used for plant materials (flowers, shrubs, trees, palms, ground coverings, vines, sod, seeds) and tree services (trimming, removal, disposal, maintenance). The largest user is the Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) with a modified allocation of $58,275,000. The pool was established on April 5, 2022, via Resolution R-311-22, and currently has a cumulative allocation of $66,408,300. The pool term expires on May 31, 2027, and would expire on May 31, 2032, if approved. There are 34 active prequalified vendors, 32 with local addresses, including 19 certified Small Business Enterprise (SBE) firms. The document does not state a specific street address, parcel, or acreage. The document does not state any public comment or stakeholder sentiment. The business opportunity is for contractors and trades to become or remain prequalified vendors in the pool to compete for spot market competitions for plant material and tree services across multiple County departments, with contract awards exceeding $5,000,000 (or $1,500,000 for Miami-Dade Aviation Department) requiring Board ratification.
