SOUTH DADE PET ADOPTION CENTER

Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee · 2026-07-15 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners is considering a resolution to delegate authority to the County Mayor or designee to negotiate and execute an amendment to an existing Exchange Agreement with UniCapital Medley QOZB LLC. This amendment will modify minimum design requirements and increase the County's contribution for the Animal Services Department South Dade Pet Adoption and Protection Center. The project's total cost is increasing from approximately $21,000,000 to approximately $25,000,000. The County's contribution is increasing by up to $3,000,000, bringing the total County contribution to $6,200,000, plus an additional $1,000,000 for a design and construction contingency. The enhancements are intended to improve facility performance, operational reliability, reduce disease spread, and support the County's No-Kill policy, incorporating specialized systems and meeting specific air exchange rates for animal health. The resolution also waives a requirement for non-County parties to execute contracts before agenda placement. The project is located in Commission District 8.
