Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee · 2026-07-15 · resolution

Miami-Dade County's Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee is considering a resolution (File Number: 261158) to authorize an additional expenditure of $12,879,707.00 for Prequalification Pool No. EVN0000187, which provides dewatering and tank cleaning services for the Water and Sewer Department (WASD). This would bring the total modified cumulative pool amount to $18,896,707.00. The additional funds are needed to continue essential services for maintaining water and wastewater treatment plant structures, tanks, clarifiers, containment units, and pipelines, addressing aging infrastructure, increased system demand, and regulatory compliance. A specific instance cited is the temporary dewatering system installed at the North District Wastewater Treatment Plant due to failures at the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant, which incurred expenditures exceeding $2 million. The pool was initially established on October 3, 2023, and modified on a previous date not specified, with a current value of $6,017,000 and an expiration date of November 30, 2028. The services include tank cleaning, sludge removal, dewatering, vacuum truck services, and hydro-excavation. The request is for WASD, the largest user of the pool. The resolution requires that any contract award under the pool exceeding $5,000,000.00 be ratified by the Board. Prequalified vendors include Envirowaste Services Group, Inc., Flotech Environmental, LLC, Merrell Bros., Inc., Synagro South, LLC, and U.S. Submergent Technologies, LLC. Due diligence was conducted, with a past litigation settlement noted for Synagro South, LLC. The scope of this item is countywide. Public comment is not stated in this document.
