BID WAIVER OF SOLE SOURCED MATERIALS

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

Miami-Dade County Commissioners approved a resolution allowing the Aviation Department to specify certain sole-source materials and systems in procurement documents for identified Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects. This authority is limited to specific projects and components, aiming to ensure compatibility, reduce operational disruption, and achieve cost efficiencies by integrating with existing proprietary infrastructure. The decision followed extensive discussion and a friendly amendment requiring a market analysis and cost comparison for replacing existing systems. The estimated savings from this approach are over $302 million. The resolution was amended and passed 11-0.
