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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-540-26, authorizing an additional expenditure of $1,901,390.00 for Contract No. FB-00446, Towing Services. This increases the total modified contract amount to $16,558,190.00. The additional funds are for the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) and the People and Internal Operations Department (PIOD) to ensure continuity of towing services for County vehicles, including sedans, trucks, mobile equipment, and buses. The increase accounts for higher towing requests and increased costs, particularly for DTPW's expanded fleet of articulated electric buses and the upcoming South Dade Transit Operations Center. PIOD also cited a 16% annual increase in tow requests and a 29% price increase per tow since 2022. The contract, originally established in 2017, has a term expiring March 31, 2027. The Board authorized the County Mayor or designee to exercise contract provisions. The contract includes groups for all County departments, DTPW buses only, RER disposals, and a prequalification pool for specialized tows.
