This legislative item presents two feasibility reports for projects at Miami International Airport (MIA) to be implemented under a Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Florida Power & Light (FPL) Services, LLC. The MSA, approved by Resolution No. R-1090-23, covers resilient infrastructure, electrical hardening, sustainability, and electric vehicle (EV) services. The first project, Feasibility Report Solar #2, involves installing garage-top solar canopy structures on the Dolphin and Flamingo parking garages to generate approximately 4.3 MW (DC) of solar capacity, estimated to produce ~5.5 million kWh annually and offset ~2,000 metric tons of CO2 per year. This project will be implemented through FPL's SolarVantage program, with monthly service payments ranging from $210,000 - $290,000 over 20 years, and an estimated $8,000,000 - $13,000,000 from the Investment Tax Credit (ITC). The second project, Feasibility Report #3 Group 1, focuses on replacing end-of-life emergency generators, diesel storage, and switchgear at five locations: Airfield Lighting Building 742, Airfield Lighting Building 605, Terminal H (CC H-11/H15-H1827), Park 4 Flamingo Parking Garage, and Park 2 Consumer. This involves seven generator replacements, nine switchgear units, and five diesel system replacements. Monthly service payments for these locations over 20 years range from $29,176 - $38,901 for AFL 742, $85,700 - $114,267 for AFL Building 605, $142,751 - $190,334 for Terminal H, $60,476 - $80,634 for Park 4 Flamingo, and $88,157 - $117,542 for Park 2 Consumer. The MSA has a 20-year term with a not-to-exceed cost of $912,000,000.00. The Board of County Commissioners accepted this report on May 5, 2026.
