DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL MONITORING SERVICES

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

Miami-Dade County Commission adopted Resolution R-542-26, 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 followed a debate regarding the scoring of proposals, with Thompson Consulting Services, LLC being the second-ranked proposer but nearly $1 million less expensive than the initially recommended vendor, Tetra Tech, Inc. Commissioners expressed concern over the cost difference versus the scoring difference. The Board ultimately voted 7-3 to direct negotiation with Thompson Consulting Services, LLC, aiming for cost savings. The document also details a separate collective bargaining agreement between Miami-Dade County and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Local 121, for the Water and Sewer Department employees, effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2029, with specific updates to various articles including wages, health insurance, and paid parental leave.
