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 impacting disposal options and increasing 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 generates approximately 200 to 400 wet tons of biosolids daily and 90 to 110 tons of grit and screening daily. The contract value for the initial five-year term is $50,625,900, with a potential cumulative value of $101,251,800 over 10 years. The current unit price for hauling and disposal is $78.27 per wet ton, while the proposed contract reflects $129.81 per wet ton, with an increased annual estimated quantity from 46,000 to 78,000 tons per year.
