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 aims to ensure compatibility, reduce operational disruption, and achieve cost efficiencies by integrating with existing proprietary infrastructure. The estimated savings from this approach are over $302 million. The decision was amended to require a market analysis comparing sole-source component prices to market prices and the cost of replacing existing systems. The resolution was passed 11-0.
