BIOSOLIDS REJECT & AWARD

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-493-26, approving the award of Contract No. EVN0037379 for Hauling and Disposal of Dewatered Biosolids (Group 2) to Waste Management Inc. of Florida for $101,251,800.00. This contract has an initial five-year term with one, five-year option to renew for the Water and Sewer Department. The resolution also rejected all bids received for Group 1, which pertains to hauling and disposal of dewatered biosolids, due to recent changes in Florida law that significantly increased bid prices. The services for Group 2 involve hauling and disposal of grit and mechanical screenings from the County's wastewater treatment plants. The County is the largest producer of biosolids in Florida, generating 200-400 wet tons daily from its Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant (CDWWTP) and North District Wastewater Treatment Plant (NDWWTP), and 90-110 tons of grit and screenings daily. The rejection of Group 1 bids is to allow for re-advertisement under new regulatory conditions. Public comment is not stated in the document.
