TOWING SERVICES

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

The document is a Miami-Dade County legislative item, File Number 260743, a Resolution (R-540-26) adopted on 6/16/2026, authorizing additional expenditure authority of $1,901,390.00 for a total modified contract amount of $16,558,190.00 for Contract No. FB-00446, Towing Services, for the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) and the People and Internal Operations Department (PIOD). The contract expires on March 31, 2027. The additional allocation is for DTPW ($1,247,500) and PIOD ($653,890). DTPW's need is driven by increased towing requests, fleet expansion including the South Corridor TransitWay and the planned November 2026 opening of the South Dade Transit Operations Center (SDTOC), which will house 100 articulated electric buses, and higher per-tow costs for specialized 60-foot buses. PIOD's need is due to a 16% average annual increase in tows and a 29% increase in per-tow prices since 2022. The item was deferred on 6/2/2026 and adopted on 6/16/2026. The document does not state a specific project site, address, parcel, or acreage. The action is countywide in scope.
