COMPETITIVE CONTRACT FOR RAIL PARTS AND SERVICES

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted a resolution ratifying a contract with Hitachi Rail STS USA for the purchase and overhaul of rail vehicle trucks. The contract is for $6,729,260.00 and is intended to replace components damaged in accidents and derailments, and to complete six-year overhauls for the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW). The purchase includes ten rail vehicle trucks, with two rear trucks equipped with Automatic Train Operation (ATO) antennas. The contract was awarded under a prequalification pool for Rail Parts and Services. Commissioner Bermudez expressed concern about the significant delay in presenting the contract for ratification, noting it was awarded in December 2023 but brought before the board in June 2026.
