LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION

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

The Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-656-26 (File Number 261339) directing the County Mayor or designee 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 back to the Board for approval. In the alternative, if the bid waiver is not filed, the County Mayor must provide a report to the Board by September 1, 2026. The resolution was adopted on July 21, 2026. The original item was File No. 260515. The action follows the rejection of all proposals received under RFP No. EVN0019329, as all were deemed non-responsive by the County Attorney's Office. The South Dade Landfill is located at 23707 SW 97th Avenue, Homestead, FL. The North Dade Landfill is located at 21500 NW 47th Avenue, Miami, FL. The new solicitation will likely be for the South Dade Landfill site only, as proposals indicated the North Dade Landfill is not viable. The cost to the developer to design and build each facility was estimated to be over $30,000,000. The RFP was issued on July 8, 2025, with a closing date of October 15, 2025. Five proposals were received. The County Attorney deemed all proposals non-responsive 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 Policy Council forwarded the item to the BCC with a favorable recommendation on July 20, 2026. The item was introduced on July 17, 2026. The final action was on July 21, 2026. The applicant is not stated. The developer would design, build, finance, operate, and maintain private facilities via lease agreements on predetermined County property at the landfills. The facilities would produce Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) suitable for injection into the natural gas pipeline or conversion to compressed natural gas (CNG), with revenue shared between the developer and County. The impact of this item is countywide in nature. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
