LANDFILL GAS CONVERSION

Policy Council · 2026-07-13 · resolution

Resolution rejecting 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 rejection allows the County to update the solicitation and resolicit under full and open competition. The new solicitation will likely be issued for the South Dade Landfill site only, as proposals indicated the North Dade Landfill is not a viable site. The cost to the developer to design and build each facility was estimated to be over $30,000,000. Five proposals were received. 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 item was amended at the Policy Council on 7/13/2026, with the amended version in Legislative File No. 261339. The resolution was introduced on 3/23/2026. The RFP was issued on July 8, 2025. The closing date for proposals was October 15, 2025. The County Attorney's Office 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 of the item is countywide. There is no fiscal impact to the County for the rejection. Saba Musleh of the Strategic Procurement Department is the Negotiator. No vendor was recommended for award. 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.
