COMPETITIVE CONTRACT FOR RAIL PARTS AND SERVICES

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners ratified a competitive contract award to Hitachi Rail STS USA, Inc. for $6,729,260.00 for the purchase of rail vehicle trucks and related services. These parts are needed to replace components damaged in accidents and derailments, and to complete six-year overhauls for the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW). The contract was awarded under Prequalification Pool No. FB-01645P, Rail Parts and Services Pool. The solicitation was an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) process, and only one bid was received due to OEM requirements and system compatibility constraints. The contract term is six months and funding is from Mobility Impact Fees. The DTPW is taking steps to improve coordination to prevent future delays in processing such requisitions. The William E. Lehman Center rail yard, where vehicles are maintained, is located within District 6, but the scope of the item is countywide.
