PELICAN HARBOR SEABIRD STATION

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. (PHSS). This agreement allows PHSS, a not-for-profit entity, to continue operating the Pelican Harbor Seabird Station for the care of sick and injured seabirds. The term of the agreement extends through April 1, 2027, with yearly fees to the County of $300.00. PHSS has been operating at this location since 1990 and plans to relocate to a new facility by April 1, 2027, but has faced delays in construction. The agreement ensures uninterrupted care for animals and continued educational programming. The Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee forwarded this item to the Board with a favorable recommendation.
