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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering a resolution to waive competitive bidding procedures to approve a Programming Partnership Operating and Management Agreement between Miami-Dade County and Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, Inc. This agreement allows Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, Inc. to continue operating the Pelican Harbor Seabird Station for the care of sick and injured seabirds at its current location until April 1, 2027, while they construct a new facility. The agreement requires a two-thirds vote for approval. Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, Inc. has been operating at this location since 1990 and cares for approximately 2,700 wildlife patients annually. The county will incur minimal fiscal impact, primarily for utilities, while Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, Inc. will pay $300 annually. The Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee forwarded this item with a favorable recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners.
