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, for multiple county departments. This decision followed a discussion where commissioners questioned the initial recommendation of Tetra Tech, Inc., citing a significant cost difference ($1 million lower) for Thompson Consulting Services, LLC, despite Tetra Tech scoring higher. Commissioners expressed concern about the scoring methodology and cost savings. The Board ultimately amended the resolution to award the contract to Thompson Consulting Services, LLC. Separately, the Board approved and ratified the 2026-2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement between Miami-Dade County and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Local 121, which includes various updates to work rules, pay provisions, and benefits, and allows for reopening negotiations on specific articles later.
