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 for 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, and is 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 scoring points, and ultimately recommended Thompson Consulting Services, LLC to achieve cost savings. The document also details a separate collective bargaining agreement between Miami-Dade County and AFSCME Local 121 for Water and Sewer Department employees, effective June 1, 2026, through May 31, 2029, with provisions for reopening negotiations on wages and other benefits.
