Miami Herald: Miami-Dade weeks away from running out of money for firm running $2 billion sewage fix
When more than 700,000 gallons of human waste poured into Biscayne Bay from a county pump station in Sunny Isles Beach earlier this month, the facility was under a court order to be repaired as part of a nearly $2 billion upgrade of the Miami-Dade sewage system.
The private firm managing that contract has burned through nearly $91 million in fees that were supposed to last another 10 years, and now Miami-Dade is scrambling to add another $49 million to the 2014 agreement and let AECOM continue managing the project through 2028.
“I’m not happy,” Commissioner Rebeca Sosa said during an Infrastructure Committee hearing on the proposed change to a $140 million cap on the contract, a 53 percent boost. “The increase is incredible.”
