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, E-10684, is awarded to Solares Electrical Services, Inc. for $358,256. This emergency action was necessitated by a construction incident on April 25, 2025, involving Suffolk Construction Company, Inc., which compromised the electrical systems at the Lightspeed Facility. Lightspeed is a critical facility housing the County's 911 call center, 311 operations, and the Real Time Crime Center. Solares Electrical Services, Inc. was already on-site performing work and was uniquely qualified to provide immediate oversight and maintenance to prevent disruption to essential services. The County is pursuing remedies against Suffolk Construction Company, Inc. for costs incurred. The item is on the consent agenda for the July 21, 2026, Board of County Commissioners meeting.
