Aviation and Seaport Committee · 2026-06-08 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is approving the award of a competitive revenue-generating contract (Contract No. EVN0002968) for a Passenger Lounge at Miami International Airport (MIA) to AD Partnership, LLC. The project involves the financing, design, construction, development, management, operation, and maintenance of a premium passenger lounge in Concourse E. The projected revenue for the county over the 15-year term is $93,800,000.00. The lounge will offer premium amenities and be accessible via memberships and day passes, not exclusive to any single airline. The Aviation and Seaport Committee forwarded the resolution with a favorable recommendation. During the committee meeting, discussions included the applicant's amenability to a labor peace agreement, which the applicant confirmed. Commissioner Gilbert III stated he would ensure all requirements are met and would defer the item if an agreement was not reached. The vendor is responsible for all capital investment and build-out costs, including elevator and access improvements, as well as staffing, maintenance, and operations.
