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. 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 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 resolution was adopted on July 21, 2026. The Policy Council forwarded it to the BCC with a favorable recommendation on July 20, 2026. The original item was under File No. 260515. The County Mayor's staff recommendation was to reject all proposals, but the Policy Council amended the item to direct negotiation of a non-competitive contract. The document does not state any public comment or stakeholder sentiment.
