Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is set to ratify an emergency contract for Electrical Infrastructure Oversight and Maintenance Service. The contract, number E-10684, is awarded to Solares Electrical Services, Inc. for $358,256.00. This service is for the People and Internal Operations Department (PIOD) and is related to the Lightspeed Facility, which houses critical operations like the 911 call center, 311 operations, and the Real Time Crime Center. The emergency was declared following a construction incident on April 25, 2025, by Suffolk Construction Company, Inc., which compromised the electrical systems. Solares Electrical Services, Inc. was already on-site performing work and was uniquely qualified to provide immediate oversight and maintenance to prevent disruption to public safety services. The County is pursuing remedies from Suffolk Construction Company, Inc. for costs incurred. The contract is for a one-time purchase funded by General Funds from the FY 2025-26 Adopted Budget.
