DISASTER DEBRIS REMOVAL MONITORING SERVICES
Miami-Dade County Commission adopted Resolution R-542-26, directing the County Mayor or designee to negotiate and award Contract No. EVN0016781, Disaster Debris Removal Monitoring Services, to Thompson Consulting Services, LLC. The contract is for an initial five-year term with one, five-year option to renew, and is for multiple county departments. The decision followed a discussion where commissioners questioned the scoring process that favored a higher-cost proposer (Tetra Tech, Inc.) over Thompson Consulting Services, LLC, which was nearly $1 million less expensive but scored lower. Commissioners expressed concern over the cost disparity and ultimately recommended awarding the contract to Thompson Consulting Services, LLC, citing significant cost savings. The contract is activated post-disaster to monitor debris removal and ensure FEMA reimbursement eligibility. Separately, the document also details the ratification of a 2026-2029 Collective Bargaining Agreement between Miami-Dade County and AFSCME Local 121 for Water and Sewer Department employees, which includes various updates to work rules, wages, and benefits, and allows for reopening negotiations on specific articles later.
