LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · resolution

The document is a legislative item for a resolution to reject all proposals received in response to Request for Proposals No. EVN0019329, Development of Landfill Gas Conversion Project, for the Department of Solid Waste Management. The project was to design, build, finance, operate and maintain a Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) system at the South Dade Landfill and North Dade Landfill sites. All proposals were deemed non-responsive by the County Attorney's Office. The resolution was amended, and the amended version is in Legislative File No. 261339. The new solicitation will likely be for the South Dade Landfill site only, as proposals indicated the North Dade Landfill is not viable. The cost to the developer to design and build each facility was estimated to be over $30,000,000. The resolution was introduced on 3/23/2026, and the Policy Council action was on 7/13/2026, where it was amended. The final action is not stated. The applicant/developer/owner is not stated; the requestor is Strategic Procurement. The case/file number is 260515. The decision is to reject all proposals, but the final action is not stated. Key dates include: RFP issued on July 8, 2025; closing date October 15, 2025; issues submitted to CAO on November 17, 2025; CAO deemed proposals non-responsive on December 29, 2025; introduced 3/23/2026; Policy Council action 7/13/2026.
