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 action follows the rejection of all proposals under RFP No. EVN0019329, which were deemed non-responsive by the County Attorney's Office. The new solicitation will likely be for the South Dade Landfill site only, as the North Dade Landfill was deemed not viable. The cost to the developer to design and build each facility was estimated to be over $30,000,000. 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 resolution was adopted on July 21, 2026. The original item was under File No. 260515. The Policy Council forwarded the item to the BCC with a favorable recommendation with committee amendments on July 20, 2026. The item was introduced on July 17, 2026. The RFP was issued on July 8, 2025, with a closing date of October 15, 2025. Five proposals were received. Issues were submitted to the County Attorney's Office on November 17, 2025, and on December 29, 2025, all proposals were deemed non-responsive. 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 staff recommendation was to approve the rejection of all proposals, but the Board amended the item to direct negotiation of a non-competitive contract. The document does not state any public comment or stakeholder sentiment.
