AIRBALL SPORTS - AWARD

Aviation and Seaport Committee · 2026-07-13 · resolution

This legislative item concerns a resolution to waive competitive bidding procedures and award a non-competitive revenue-generating contract, Contract No. BW-10479, for a Miami Heat-licensed merchandise retail concession at Miami International Airport (MIA) to Airball Sports II, LLC. The projected revenue is $17,000,000.00 over an eight-year term with a one, two-year option to renew. The Aviation and Seaport Committee has deferred this item twice, most recently to no date certain. The proposed contract replaces an existing month-to-month lease and requires Airball to finance, operate, and maintain a state-of-the-art retail concession in Concourse D. Market research indicated no other vendors are authorized to operate a Miami Heat-licensed retail store at MIA. Public comment is not stated in this document. During a committee meeting, a discussion occurred regarding the airport's concessionaire program and the implementation phase of design and refurbishment of concession areas.
