GARBAGE COLLECTION

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

Miami-Dade County's Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee deferred a resolution (File Number: 261225) that would authorize a non-competitive designated purchase for garbage collection and disposal services under Contract No. 6938-2/22. The proposed resolution sought to extend the contract by three years and add $19,411,303 in expenditure authority, bringing the total modified cumulative amount to $81,897,586. This extension is intended to allow the Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) time to transition these services to in-house operations. Several county departments, including Housing and Community Development (HCD), Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces (PROS), Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation (MDCR), People and Internal Operations (PIOD), and Water and Sewer (WASD), require additional funding due to increased operational needs and service level changes. The original contract was approved in 2013 for a five-year term with two two-year options to renew. The deferred decision was made on October 6, 2026, after being introduced on July 6, 2026, and deferred by the committee on July 15, 2026.
