Miami-Dade County legislative item File Number 261225 is a Resolution seeking approval of a non-competitive designated purchase under Contract No. 6938-2/22 for Garbage Collection and Disposal Services. The action authorizes a three-year extension and additional expenditure authority of $19,411,303.00, bringing the total modified cumulative amount to $81,897,586.00 for multiple County departments. The current contract term expires May 31, 2028, and if approved, the modified contract will expire May 31, 2031. The item was introduced on 7/6/2026, is scheduled for the agenda on 9/1/2026 as item 8P, and requires a two-thirds vote. The additional funding is needed due to increased operational needs, including changes in service levels, container sizes, service locations, and pick-up frequencies. The Department of Solid Waste Management (DSWM) plans to transition these services from contracted vendors to in-house operations. The largest additional allocations are for Housing and Community Development (HCD) at $6,500,000, Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Department (PROS) at $6,500,000, Miami-Dade Corrections and Rehabilitation (MDCR) at $1,980,000, People and Internal Operations Department (PIOD) at $1,436,000, and Water and Sewer Department (WASD) at $1,701,525. The awarded vendors are Waste Connections of Florida, Inc. and Waste Management, Inc. of Florida. The document does not state a specific project site, address, parcel, or acreage, as it is a countywide contract extension.
