DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL MONITORING SERVICES

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-06-16 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted as amended Resolution R-542-26 (File No. 261096) directing the County Mayor to negotiate and award Contract No. EVN0016781, Disaster Debris Removal Monitoring Services, to Thompson Consulting Services, LLC, instead of the initially recommended Tetra Tech, Inc., for an initial five-year term and one five-year option to renew, for multiple County departments. The contract is a monitoring agreement activated after a disaster to monitor debris-removal contractors, ensure debris delivery to designated staging areas, and preserve FEMA reimbursement eligibility. The Policy Council forwarded the item with a favorable recommendation and committee amendment on 6/8/2026, and the Board adopted the amended version on 6/16/2026. The final amended version is under Legislative File No. 261254. The original item is under File No. 260739. The cumulative five-year contract value was stated as $95 million. The amendment to recommend Thompson was proffered by Commissioner Gilbert III due to a nearly $1 million lower proposed cost compared to Tetra Tech, Inc., which had scored roughly 10 points higher. No street address, parcel, acreage, or specific project site is stated; the contract is countywide for disaster debris removal monitoring services.
