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. This 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 resolution also directs that if the bid waiver is not filed, the County Mayor must provide a report to the Board by September 1, 2026, explaining why. The original item was File No. 260515. 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 issued for the South Dade Landfill site only, as proposals indicated the North Dade Landfill is not a viable site. The cost to the developer to design and build each facility was estimated to be over $30,000,000. The final action was taken on July 21, 2026. 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 resolution was adopted on July 21, 2026. The vendors deemed non-responsive 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 rejection of all proposals, but the Board amended the item to direct negotiation of a non-competitive contract instead.
