DEWATERING PREQUAL POOL - MOD

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

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) is considering a resolution to authorize additional expenditure authority for Prequalification Pool No. EVN0000187, Dewatering and Tank Cleaning Services, for the Water and Sewer Department (WASD). The request is for an additional $12,879,707.00, bringing the total modified cumulative pool amount to $18,896,707.00. This increase is needed to address WASD's current and anticipated operational needs, including planned maintenance, emergency repairs for aging infrastructure, increased system demand, and regulatory compliance. The pool is utilized for essential services such as tank cleaning, sludge removal, dewatering, vacuum truck services, and hydro-excavation to maintain water and wastewater treatment plant structures and facilities. The Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee forwarded this item to the BCC with a favorable recommendation on July 15, 2026. The pool was initially established on October 3, 2023, and modified on a previous date, with a current value of $6,017,000 and an expiration date of November 30, 2028. The increased utilization is attributed to enhanced preventative maintenance efforts and responding to operational emergencies, such as a temporary dewatering system installed at the North District Wastewater Treatment Plant due to failures at the Central District Wastewater Treatment Plant. The scope of this item is countywide. 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 involving Synagro South, LLC resolved through a settlement agreement.
