Miami-Dade County
CDMP APPLICATION RE UDB TEXT AMENDMENT
Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners (BCC) is directing the County Mayor or designee to file an application to amend the Comprehensive Development Master Plan (CDMP). The amendment will address the use of text amendments to facilitate urban land uses on property outside the Urban Development Boundary (UDB), without expanding the UDB or amending the Land Use Plan (LUP) map. The proposed amendment aims to ensure that such text amendments require a demonstration of need, avoidance of sprawl, and mitigation of loss of agricultural or environmentally-sensitive lands. It will also provide flexibility for text amendments in certain Urban Expansion Areas. The Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee forwarded this to the BCC with a favorable recommendation on 6/10/2026.

FARE COLLECTION APPLICATION - REJECTION
This legislative matter, File Number 260623, concerns the rejection of all proposals for a Fare Collection Application for the Department of Transportation and Public Works. Initially, the administration recommended rejecting all bids, but later requested to withdraw this recommendation to instead return with a recommended vendor. Significant discussion ensued regarding the procurement process, including the number of proposers invited to oral presentations, the interpretation of RFP language, and PCI compliance issues with the current vendor. The item was ultimately withdrawn from the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee agenda on June 10, 2026, with the administration intending to provide a revised recommendation and report. A prior deferral on May 13, 2026, also aimed to gather more information on the scoring mechanism and funding, and to evaluate an option to upgrade the existing system. The original RFP (EVN0001148) was issued on May 16, 2025, with proposals received on August 29, 2025. The current fare collection contract (L8481-0/27) is valued at $31,671,329 and expires January 31, 2028.

FARE COLLECTION APPLICATION - REJECTION
Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners rejected all proposals for a Fare Collection Application (FCA) for the Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) under Request for Proposals No. EVN0001148. The rejection was recommended to allow for updates to the RFP, including clarifying language on subcontracting restrictions, the number of firms for oral presentations, pricing submission for optional items, and the evaluation methodology. A new RFP with revisions will be advertised. The original contract was intended to replace Contract No. L8481-0/27, valued at $31,671,329, expiring January 31, 2028. Multiple proposers submitted objections during the evaluation phase, citing ambiguities in the RFP requirements. The revised RFP will prohibit proposers from subcontracting with Genfare, LLC (current fare collection equipment provider), clarify the number of firms for oral presentations, and provide a methodology for evaluating pricing of optional items. The scope is countywide. There is no fiscal impact from the rejection.

FARE COLLECTION APPLICATION - REJECTION
Miami-Dade County legislative item File Number 260623, a Resolution to reject all proposals received in response to Request for Proposals No. EVN0001148, Fare Collection Application, for the Department of Transportation and Public Works, was introduced on 4/8/2026. The item was deferred at the 5/13/2026 Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee meeting and withdrawn at the 6/10/2026 meeting. The administration requested withdrawal of its recommendation to reject all bids and instead return with a recommended vendor. The RFP was advertised on May 16, 2025, and nine proposals were received on August 29, 2025. The contract was intended to replace Contract No. L8481-0/27, valued at $31,671,329, expiring January 31, 2028. The anticipated contract term was six years with one four-year option to renew, for a total of ten years. The RFP stipulated that the top three highest-ranked firms would be invited for oral presentations, but five proposers were advanced. Cubic Transportation Systems, originally ranked fourth, jumped to first after oral presentations. The County Attorney's Office determined the RFP language required only three proposers to advance. The administration planned to return with a recommended vendor at the next IEIC meeting on July 15, 2026. Public comment and stakeholder sentiment included Commissioner Gonzalez expressing concern about flawed processes discouraging firms, Commissioner Cohen Higgins stating the County needed to improve its procurement process so business partners were not discouraged, and Senator García cautioning against rejecting the RFP and deferring to negotiate with a prior vendor, stating that companies invested significant resources in responding to RFPs and that such unpredictability discouraged businesses from working with the County. Commissioner Gonzalez also noted that the current vendor was not PCI compliant and that the County was operating under a waiver for PCI compliance. Cubic's Mr. Popat stated that Cubic maintained PCI compliance on its other projects and had been working with the County toward compliance, and that if compliance was not achieved within the permitted deferral period, the County would face assessed fees and lose access to the open payment system.

FARE COLLECTION APPLICATION - REJECTION
This legislative matter, File Number 260623, concerns the rejection of all proposals for a Fare Collection Application (FCA) for the Department of Transportation and Public Works. The initial recommendation was to reject all bids due to numerous objections from proposers and ambiguities in the Request for Proposals (RFP) regarding subcontracting, the number of firms for oral presentations, and the evaluation of optional items. The administration requested to withdraw this recommendation to instead return with a recommended vendor. The Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee (IEIC) initially deferred the item on May 13, 2026, to allow the administration time to evaluate upgrading the current system. On June 10, 2026, the IEIC withdrew the item, with the administration intending to present a revised recommendation for a vendor and a report addressing the process issues. Key concerns raised included the interpretation of RFP language regarding the number of proposers for oral presentations (three versus five), the evaluation of pricing for optional items, and the PCI compliance of the existing system. The existing contract (Contract No. L8481-0/27) is valued at $31,671,329 and expires January 31, 2028. The RFP was advertised on May 16, 2025, and proposals were received on August 29, 2025. The administration aimed to replace the legacy system with a best-in-class solution, but issues arose that jeopardized Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funding eligibility, leading to the recommendation to reject all bids and re-advertise. Ultimately, the item was withdrawn from the IEIC agenda on June 10, 2026, with the administration planning to return with a new recommendation.

This legislative matter concerns a Resolution rejecting all proposals for a Fare Collection Application (RFP No. EVN0001148) for the Department of Transportation and Public Works. The initial recommendation was to reject all bids due to numerous objections from proposers and ambiguities in the RFP regarding subcontracting with the current vendor (Genfare), the number of proposers for oral presentations (initially three, but five were invited due to ties), and the evaluation of optional pricing items. The administration requested to withdraw the rejection recommendation to instead return with a recommended vendor. The item was discussed extensively, with concerns raised about the procurement process, transparency, and fairness to businesses. Ultimately, the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee deferred the item to its next meeting on June 10, 2026, directing the County Mayor or designee to provide a comprehensive report on all proposers' scores and pricing, and an analysis of pricing allocation. The existing contract (Contract No. L8481-0/27) is valued at $31,671,329 and expires January 31, 2028. The new solicitation is intended to replace this legacy system with a modern, account-based ticketing solution with better user experience and analytics, and is crucial for utilizing Federal Transit Administration funds.

FARE COLLECTION APPLICATION - REJECTION
Miami-Dade County legislative item File Number 260623, a Resolution to reject all proposals received in response to RFP No. EVN0001148 for a Fare Collection Application for the Department of Transportation and Public Works. The item was introduced 4/8/2026, deferred at the 5/13/2026 Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee meeting, and withdrawn at the 6/10/2026 meeting. The administration withdrew its recommendation to reject all bids and instead planned to return with a recommended vendor. The existing contract (No. L8481-0/27) is valued at $31,671,329 and expires January 31, 2028. Nine proposals were received on August 29, 2025. Five proposers were advanced to oral presentations, but the County Attorney's Office determined the RFP language allowed only the top three. The administration planned to return with a recommendation at the July 15, 2026 committee meeting. Public comment and stakeholder sentiment included concerns from Commissioner Gonzalez and Vice Chairwoman Lopez about flawed procurement processes discouraging businesses, and from Senator García about delaying the solicitation and the roughly $20 million price spread between top vendors. Cubic Transportation Systems, originally ranked fourth, jumped to first after oral presentations. The current vendor, Cubic, is not PCI compliant, and the County is operating under a waiver. The contract term is six years with one four-year option to renew, for a total of ten years. The RFP was advertised May 16, 2025. The item was withdrawn, so no final action was taken.

This legislative matter, File Number 260623, concerns the rejection of all proposals for a Fare Collection Application for the Department of Transportation and Public Works. The item was initially introduced on April 8, 2026, and was ultimately withdrawn. The process involved discussions about the RFP's ambiguity regarding the number of proposers for oral presentations (stated as three, but five were advanced), subcontracting relationships with the existing fare collection equipment provider (Genfare), and the evaluation of optional pricing items. Concerns were raised about fairness to businesses and the integrity of the procurement process. The administration initially recommended rejecting all bids to revise the RFP and ensure compliance with federal funding requirements, but later sought to withdraw this recommendation to present a revised vendor recommendation. The item was deferred by the Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee on May 13, 2026, to allow for further evaluation of upgrading the current system and to gather more information on vendor scoring and pricing. On June 10, 2026, the committee voted to defer the item again to its next meeting, directing the County Mayor or designee to provide a report detailing pricing for all responsive and responsible proposers and an analysis of price point allocation. The original solicitation was advertised on May 16, 2025, with proposals received on August 29, 2025.

Miami-Dade County's Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee (IEIC) considered a resolution to reject all proposals for the Fare Collection Application (RFP No. EVN0001148) for the Department of Transportation and Public Works. The administration initially recommended rejection due to numerous objections received from proposers and ambiguities in the RFP regarding subcontracting with the current fare collection equipment provider (Genfare), the number of firms to be shortlisted for oral presentations, and the evaluation of optional items and pricing. The administration later requested to withdraw the rejection recommendation to return with a recommended vendor. Discussions revealed issues with the procurement process, including the advancement of five proposers when the RFP stipulated three, and concerns about PCI compliance with the current vendor. The committee ultimately deferred the item to its next meeting (June 10, 2026) to allow the administration to provide a detailed report on all proposers' scores, pricing, and a rational analysis for price point allocation, addressing concerns raised by commissioners. The original contract for fare collection equipment (Contract No. L8481-0/27) was valued at $31,671,329 and expires January 31, 2028. The RFP was advertised on May 16, 2025, with proposals received on August 29, 2025. The item was withdrawn from the agenda on June 10, 2026, after the committee voted to defer it.
