Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee · 2026-06-09 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) is considering a resolution to waive competitive bidding procedures to approve a Programming Partnership Operating and Management Agreement between Miami-Dade County and Pelican Harbor Seabird Station, Inc. (PHSS). This agreement allows PHSS, a not-for-profit entity, to continue operating the Pelican Harbor Seabird Station for the care of sick and injured seabirds. The agreement is for a term through April 1, 2027, with yearly fees to the County of $300.00. PHSS has been operating at this location since 1990 and will relocate to a new facility on or before April 1, 2027. The waiver of competitive bidding is recommended by the Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department and the County Mayor. The Recreation, Tourism, and Resiliency Committee forwarded the item to the BCC with a favorable recommendation. No public comment is stated in the document.
