Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering Resolution 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 projected revenue is $93,800,000.00 over a 15-year term. The lounge will be located on the third floor of Concourse E, above Gate E7. The project involves the financing, design, construction, development, management, operation, and maintenance of the lounge, including capital investment and build-out costs. The Aviation and Seaport Committee forwarded the resolution with a favorable recommendation. During the committee meeting, discussions involved the applicant's amenability to a labor peace agreement, with the applicant confirming willingness to work with the airport and labor partners. Commissioner Gilbert III stated he would ensure all requirements are met and would defer the item if an agreement was not reached. The contract is projected to generate significant revenue for the Miami-Dade Aviation Department and supports MIA's modernization efforts.
