06.10.2026 - Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee Meeting

The Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners Intergovernmental and Economic Impact Committee met on June 10, 2026, to discuss a contentious procurement process for a new fare collection system. Multiple vendors, including Masabi, Cubic Transportation Systems, MOV, and others, presented their cases regarding the evaluation and ranking of proposals under a Request for Bids (RFB). The committee heard concerns about procedural irregularities, including the number of firms advanced to oral presentations and the scoring methodology, particularly regarding price evaluation and compliance with PCI data security standards. The administration requested withdrawal of the prior recommendation to reject all bids and committed to returning with a new vendor recommendation and a detailed report addressing the procurement issues. The committee emphasized the need for transparency in the scoring process and adherence to the original RFP criteria, with a directive to revisit the item at the next committee meeting. Additionally, the committee briefly discussed a zoning-related text amendment proposal aimed at closing a loophole in urban development processes, with implementation contingent on state review in 2027.
