LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION

Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Resolution adopted on 7/21/2026 directing the County Mayor to negotiate a non-competitive, revenue-generating contract for a landfill gas conversion facility at the South Dade Landfill site, subject to filing a waiver of formal bid procedures, and to bring the negotiated contract to the Board for approval. The original staff recommendation to reject all proposals under RFP No. EVN0019329 was amended. The facility is to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain a landfill gas conversion facility producing Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). The cost to the developer to design and build each facility was estimated to be over $30,000,000. The new solicitation will likely be issued for the South Dade Landfill site only, as proposals indicated the North Dade Landfill is not a viable site. If the bid waiver is not filed, the County Mayor must provide a report by September 1, 2026. Five proposals were received and all were deemed non-responsive by the County Attorney's Office on December 29, 2025. The vendors not recommended for award were Apex One Home Inspections Corp., Mobius Fuels, LLC, Nopetro Energy, Sagepoint Energy Landfill Holdco, and Waga Energy, Inc. The resolution was adopted on 7/21/2026. The Policy Council forwarded it to the BCC with a favorable recommendation on 7/20/2026. The item was introduced on 7/17/2026. The original item is under File No. 260515. The County Mayor's recommendation to reject all proposals was rejected by the Policy Council amendment. The document does not state any public comment or stakeholder sentiment.
