BID WAIVER OF SOLE SOURCED MATERIALS

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-02 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Commission approved a resolution (File Number: 260591) on June 2, 2026, allowing the Miami-Dade Aviation Department (MDAD) to specify sole-source materials and systems for identified Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. This decision aims to ensure compatibility, safety, performance, and long-term cost efficiency within MDAD's $12 billion Modernization in Action (M.I.A.) Program. The approval authorizes the County Mayor or designee to advertise solicitations for these projects with the specified sole-source items and ratifies two pending solicitations (Bid No. V100A and Bid No. T012A). The justification for sole-sourcing is based on the impracticality and prohibitive cost of replacing or retrofitting legacy systems, estimated at $302,736,853.00 in replacement costs. The resolution passed with an 11-0 vote. The Aviation and Seaport Committee had previously forwarded the item with a favorable recommendation.
