LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · resolution

Resolution rejecting all proposals received under RFP No. EVN0019329 for the Development of Landfill Gas Conversion Project for the Department of Solid Waste Management. The project involved designing, building, financing, operating, and maintaining Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) systems at the South Dade Landfill and North Dade Landfill. All five proposals were deemed non-responsive by the County Attorney's Office. The rejection allows the County to update and resolicit the project, likely for the South Dade Landfill only, as the North Dade Landfill was deemed not viable. The cost to the developer to design and build each facility was estimated to be over $30,000,000. The resolution was amended at the Policy Council meeting on 7/13/2026, with the amended version in Legislative File No. 261339. The final action by the Board of County Commissioners is not stated. The resolution was introduced on 3/23/2026. The agenda date and final action are not stated. The vendors not recommended for award were Apex One Home Inspections Corp., Mobius Fuels, LLC, Nopetro Energy, Sagepoint Energy Landfill Holdco, and Waga Energy, Inc. The reason for not recommending all was that they were deemed non-responsive by the CAO. The new solicitation will likely be for the South Dade Landfill site only. The County will seek feedback from proposers and the market. It is anticipated that at least four proposers would be able to amend their proposals to resubmit. The County will continue to explore feasible projects for the North Dade Landfill. The RFP was issued on July 8, 2025, and the closing date was October 15, 2025. Issues in proposals were submitted to the CAO on November 17, 2025, and the CAO deemed all proposals non-responsive on December 29, 2025. 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 impact is countywide. There is no fiscal impact to the County for the rejection. Saba Musleh of the Strategic Procurement Department is the Negotiator. The RFP was issued pursuant to Board direction at the July 1, 2025 meeting. The two percent User Access Program would not have applied. The Small Business Enterprise Selection Factor and Local Preference would have been applicable. The Living Wage Ordinance would not have applied.
