International Waste Hauling & Disposal for MDAD

Miami-Dade Aviation Department is soliciting bids from a single vendor for international waste hauling and disposal services at Miami International Airport and two general aviation airports (Opa-Locka Executive Airport and Miami Executive Airport), with proposals due August 5, 2026.

The vendor must collect, transport, and dispose of international waste streams including prohibited agricultural items and animal products regulated by U.S. Customs and Border Protection across all three airport locations. The awardee must maintain compliance with the MDAD Environmental Policy, federal and state environmental regulations, secure appropriate licenses and certifications for hazardous materials handling and international waste processing, and demonstrate financial stability and insurance coverage sufficient to operate across multiple facilities simultaneously.

The contract establishes a defined term with potential renewal options exercised at MDAD's discretion. Pricing is structured on a per-unit or monthly basis, with costs varying by airport location and waste volume. A sample price-adjustment calculation methodology is attached, incorporating fuel surcharge indices and labor cost escalation factors to allow periodic contract price modifications throughout the performance period, protecting the contractor from unexpected fuel and labor cost increases while preventing the government from absorbing inflated pricing during cost-reduction periods.

The solicitation does not indicate minority or small business set-asides. The vendor must review and acknowledge ability to comply with all environmental standards outlined in the MDAD Environmental Policy as a condition of eligibility. Non-compliance with environmental policy standards during contract execution may result in corrective action, penalties, or contract termination. Current service provider information and contract performance history are available for review to establish baseline expectations for service continuity and operational standards.
