DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL MONITORING SERVICES

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Commissioners adopted an amended resolution directing the County Mayor or designee to negotiate and award Contract No. EVN0016781, Disaster Debris Removal Monitoring Services, to Thompson Consulting Services, LLC. The contract is for an initial five-year term with one five-year option to renew, for multiple county departments. The decision was made after considerable discussion regarding the scoring of proposals, with some commissioners favoring Thompson Consulting Services, LLC due to a significant cost savings of approximately $1 million compared to the initially recommended vendor, Tetra Tech, Inc. The contract's total value is estimated at $95 million over five years. Public comment was not explicitly stated, but commissioners voiced concerns about cost versus scoring and the absence of key personnel to explain the initial recommendation.
