GARBAGE COLLECTION

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

Miami-Dade County's Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee deferred a resolution (File Number: 261225) authorizing a non-competitive designated purchase for garbage collection and disposal services under Contract No. 6938-2/22. The proposed modification seeks to extend the contract by three years and add $19,411,303.00 in expenditure authority, bringing the total modified cumulative amount to $81,897,586.00. This extension is intended to provide sufficient time for the Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) to transition these services from contracted vendors to in-house operations. Multiple county departments, including Housing and Community Development (HCD), Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS), Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation (MDCR), People and Internal Operations Department (PIOD), and Water and Sewer Department (WASD), require additional funding due to increased service demands, changes in operational needs, and redevelopment activities. The contract was originally awarded on September 17, 2013, and the current term expires May 31, 2028. The proposed modification would extend the expiration date to May 31, 2031. Awarded vendors include Waste Connections of Florida, Inc. and Waste Management, Inc. of Florida. The item was introduced on 7/6/2026 and deferred on 7/15/2026.
