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 contract was awarded on December 21, 2023, but ratification was delayed due to DTPW management transitions. Commissioner Bermudez expressed concern about the significant delay in presenting the ratification to the Board. The procurement process involved an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) under a prequalification pool, and only one bid was received due to OEM requirements and system compatibility constraints. The contract term is six months and funded by Mobility Impact Fees.
