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 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. The original staff recommendation to reject all proposals under RFP No. EVN0019329 was amended. The facility will design, build, finance, operate, and maintain a landfill gas conversion facility to produce Renewable Natural Gas (RNG). The South Dade Landfill is at 23707 SW 97th Avenue, Homestead, FL. The North Dade Landfill is 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 design and build each facility was estimated to be over $30,000,000. The decision was adopted on 7/21/2026. The alternative is a report to the Board by September 1, 2026, if the bid waiver is not filed. The original RFP was issued July 8, 2025, with proposals due October 15, 2025. 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 reason was that all proposals were deemed non-responsive. The item was advanced by the Office of the Chair to the July 21st BCC from the PC agenda. The Policy Council forwarded it to the BCC with a favorable recommendation with committee amendment(s) on 7/13/2026. The applicant is not stated. The case number is 261339. The decision was adopted. Key dates include introduced 7/17/2026, final action 7/21/2026, and agenda date 7/21/2026. The business opportunity is for a contractor to design, build, finance, operate, and maintain a landfill gas conversion facility at the South Dade Landfill site, with an estimated cost over $30,000,000. The grounding note is that the document is a legislative item for a resolution directing negotiation of a non-competitive contract, with the original staff recommendation to reject all proposals amended.
