ELECTRICAL OVERSIGHT (LIGHTSPEED) - RATIFICATION (327226)

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted a resolution ratifying an emergency contract for electrical infrastructure oversight and maintenance services. The contract, valued at $358,256.00, was awarded to Solares Electrical Services, Inc. for the People and Internal Operations Department. This emergency action was necessitated by a construction incident on April 25, 2025, involving Suffolk Construction Company, Inc., which compromised the electrical systems of the Lightspeed facility. Lightspeed houses critical operations including the 911 call center, 311 operations, and the Real Time Crime Center. Solares Electrical Services, Inc. was chosen due to their existing presence and familiarity with the facility's electrical systems. The County is pursuing remedies against Suffolk Construction Company, Inc. for costs incurred. The resolution authorizes the County Mayor or designee to manage the contract, including any extensions or cancellations.
