DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL MONITORING SERVICES

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

Miami-Dade County Commission adopted a 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, and is for multiple county departments. The decision to award to Thompson Consulting Services, LLC, instead of the initially recommended vendor, Tetra Tech, Inc., was made after commissioners raised concerns about a significant cost difference ($1 million) despite a small scoring difference. The Board ultimately voted 7-3 to adopt the amended resolution, directing negotiation with Thompson Consulting Services, LLC, to achieve cost savings. Separately, the Board also approved and ratified the 2026-2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement between Miami-Dade County and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, A.F.L.-C.I.O., Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department Employees Local 121. This agreement includes various updates to work rules, pay provisions, and benefits, with specific articles subject to reopening for negotiation later.
