ELECTRICAL OVERSIGHT (LIGHTSPEED) - RATIFICATION (327226)

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 services. 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 specifically covers 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. that compromised the facility's electrical systems. Solares Electrical Services, Inc. was already on-site performing work and was deemed uniquely qualified due to their existing knowledge of the facility's systems. The County is pursuing remedies against Suffolk Construction Company, Inc. for costs incurred. The contract allows the County Mayor or designee to exercise all provisions, including cancellations and extensions.
