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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering a resolution to authorize an additional five years and $147,080,000 in expenditure authority for Prequalification Pool No. RTQ-01841, Passenger Boarding Bridges. This pool serves the Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) and PortMiami. The extension aims to fund the purchase and installation of new passenger boarding bridges, refurbishment of existing ones, and procurement of parts and supplies. MDAD requires $137,080,000 for approximately 40 new bridges, refurbishment of 50, and parts. PortMiami requires $10,000,000 for new bridges for the North Bulkhead project and modifications/repairs. The pool was initially established on November 2, 2021, for a five-year term and currently has eight prequalified vendors, including four local vendors, two of which are certified Small Business Enterprises (SBE). The pool will expire on December 31, 2031, with a modified cumulative allocation of $297,464,300. The Aviation and Seaport Committee forwarded the item to the BCC with a favorable recommendation.
