DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL MONITORING SERVICES
Miami-Dade County Commission adopted Resolution R-542-26, directing the County Mayor or designee to negotiate and award Contract No. EVN0016781 for Disaster Debris Removal Monitoring Services to Thompson Consulting Services, LLC. The contract is for an initial five-year term with one five-year option to renew, for multiple county departments.

Commissioners favored the cost savings and Thompson's qualifications. The contract's total value is approximately $95 million over ten years. Separately, the Board also approved a 2026-2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement between Miami-Dade County and the American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees, Local 121, impacting Water and Sewer Department employees. Key changes include updated language for compliance with state law, modifications to work rules, and provisions for reopening negotiations on overtime compensation, special wage provisions, wages, and group health insurance.
