Executive Summary
This report is being presented in response to Resolution No. R-1090-23 (Directive No. 241760), sponsored by Commissioner Raquel A. Regalado, and adopted as amended by the Board of County Commissioners (Board) on December 12, 2023. Pursuant to the Board�s directive, completed Feasibility Study reports shall be presented to the Board detailing the results prior to project implementation. This report includes two completed Feasibility Studies for projects at Miami International Airport: Feasibility Report Solar #2, FPL Electrical Sustainability and Resiliency Miami International Airport � Dolphin and Flaming Garage Top Solar (�Feasibility Report Solar #2�, attached hereto as Exhibit 1) and Feasibility Report #3 � Group 1, FPL Electrical and Sustainability Report Miami International Airport: AFL Bldg. 742, AFL Bldg. 605, Terminal H (CC H-11/H15-H1827), Park 4 Flamingo, Park 2 Consumer (�Feasibility Report #3 � Group 1�, attached hereto as Exhibit 2). The costs associated with these projects and the delegated authority to enter into the agreements with FPL to implement these projects were approved by the Board by way of Resolution No. R-1090-23.

Background
Resolution No. R-1090-23 approved the Master Services Agreement (MSA) with Florida Power & Light (FPL) Services, LLC for a resilient infrastructure, electrical hardening, sustainability, and electric vehicle (EV) services feasibility study and implementation services thereunder through FPL under the tariff programs. The MSA is for a 20-year term with automatic renewal periods of 12 months in an amount not to exceed $912,000,000.00. The Resolution authorized the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to execute the MSA and exercise all provisions therein, including the execution of Statements of Work (SOW) and tariff agreements with FPL for implementation of the approved projects. Section 9 of Resolution No. R-1090-23 �Directs the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to disclose to the Board all the projects identified in the initial Feasibility Study before implementation. Thereafter, during the 20-year term of the MSA, the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee is directed to seek prior Board approval before procuring any projects arising under the MSA not identified in the initial Feasibility Study valued at $5,000,000.00 or more.�

The implementation of the MSA by FPL will assist the County in the modernization of aging systems and help to make these systems more economical, resilient, and energy efficient. The work FPL will implement under the MSA includes all aspects of operating and maintaining the electrical infrastructure system at the sites identified for normal and emergency power, as well as EV charging stations.

For the purposes of expediting project delivery and not exhausting County resources, County staff and FPL collectively decided to segment the Feasibility Report and subsequent implementation projects into several packages. As the MSA includes a wide range of projects varying in size and cost, the phasing of the Feasibility Reports and connected project implementation provides for the prioritization of projects and allocation of staff time and resources over time.

Resolution No. R-1090-23 further directs the Administration to provide annual written reports to the Board throughout the term of the MSA of all work projects authorized under the MSA, which shall identify implemented projects, monies spent on such projects, and the utilization of small business participation goals on projects authorized under the MSA. Such annual reports will be submitted to the Board accordingly as forthcoming Feasibility Reports and connected work advances.

This legislative item includes two feasibility reports for projects to be constructed through the MSA: (1) Feasibility Report Solar #2 and (2) Feasibility Report #3 � Group 1.

Feasibility Report Solar #2
Feasibility Report Solar #2 is for the FPL Electrical Sustainability and Resiliency Miami International Airport � Dolphin and Flaming Garage Top Solar project. The project consists of garage-top solar canopy structures that cover parts of the upper decks of two existing parking structures. These long-term solar assets transform underutilized, single-purpose rooftop parking areas into dual-use infrastructure that produces clean energy while significantly enhancing traveler experience.

The Dolphin and Flamingo Garage Rooftop Solar project represents a meaningful opportunity for Miami-Dade County to enhance a critical airport asset in a way that delivers lasting operational and passenger value. By converting existing rooftop parking structures into dual-use infrastructure, the project maximizes the use of facilities already in place while improving the passenger experience through shaded, partially rain-protected parking.

Through the FPL SolarVantage program, the County avoids any upfront capital outlay and retains the potential to benefit from applicable federal incentives, subject to project timing, final design, and prevailing law. As a tax-exempt entity, the County may be eligible to receive the federal Investment Tax Credit as a direct pay cash payment upon the asset becoming operational. Additionally, the project is expected to offset a portion of the airport's electricity needs over time, reduce exposure to future energy cost volatility, and provide budget predictability through a fixed monthly service fee.

The solar canopies are being designed as durable, storm-hardened structures built to support the County's broader objectives and serve as a ready platform for future enhancements such as EV charging, battery storage, and other complementary applications. Taken together, the project represents an immediate infrastructure upgrade, a long-term energy cost management tool, and a forward-looking asset � purpose-built to serve the County and MIA well into the future.

The Flamingo and Dolphin garage-top solar project is expected to deliver approximately 4.3 MW (DC) of installed on-site solar capacity. Early-stage planning assumes roughly 7,300 solar panels, generating an estimated ~5.5 million kWh of renewable electricity annually. This production is projected to avoid approximately ~2,000 metric tons of CO? each year. These annual reductions directly support Miami-Dade County�s sustainability and climate action goals by reducing MIA�s net grid energy use.

This solar system will be deployed under the FPL SolarVantage regulated on-site solar tariff program. Under this program FPL designs, constructs, operates, and maintains the solar assets for a fixed term. The County pays for the solar investment via a fixed, on utility bill, monthly service payment, with no upfront capital required.

The work in Feasibility Report Solar #2 will be implemented through two Solar Power Facilities Service Agreements, Solar Power Facilities Rider (Branded as FPL SolarVantage), Solar Power Facilities Tariff Program On-Site Solar System Statement of Work � MIA Flamingo Garage Top Solar, and Solar Power Facilities Tariff Program On-Site Solar System Statement of Work � MIA Dolphin Garage Top Solar.

The monthly service payments for the Dolphin and Flamingo Garage Top Solar over a 20-year term is between $210,000 - $290,000. The Administration is additionally pursuing Investment Tax Credit (ITC) through the Treasury Department�s elective pay program. FPL estimates that the direct-pay ITC amount will be approximately $8,000,000 - $13,000,000 paid to the County.


Feasibility Report #3 � Group 1
The document attached as Exhibit 2 is Feasibility Report #3 � Group 1, for the FPL Electrical and Sustainability Report Miami International Airport: AFL Bldg. 742, AFL Bldg. 605, Terminal H (CC H-11/H15-H1827), Park 4 Flamingo, Park 2 Consumer project.

This project will replace and upgrade end-of-life emergency generator, diesel storage, 480V switchgear, and other necessary electrical equipment at Airfield Lighting Building 742, Airfield Lighting Building 605, Terminal H (CC H-11/H15 � H1827), Park 4 Flamingo Parking Garage, and Park 2 Consumer.

The core objective of the feasibility report for electrical resiliency and sustainability is to evaluate the electrical distribution system at MIA to identify electrical risks that could impact operations, identify gaps in electrical resilience, and develop electrical infrastructure solutions that increase overall resiliency and sustainability in-line with Miami-Dade County�s environmental objectives. This Feasibility Report groups five (5) separate locations together. Necessary scope combined from these locations total seven generator replacements, nine switchgear units, five diesel system replacements, and other electrical device replacements. This report is for a Maintenance Project for legally required backup generation systems at AFL Building 742, AFL Building 605, Terminal H (CC H-11/H15-H1827), Park 4 Flamingo, and Park 2 Consumer. These spaces are prioritized due to aging condition of the existing electrical equipment and generator, obsolete end-of-life switchgear, and highly critical functions served by these locations � such as lighting significant portions of the airport runways, terminals, parking garages, and other passenger-oriented services.

The work in Feasibility Report #3 will be implemented through the Non-Residential Optional Power Supplemental Power Services (OSPS) Agreement, Supplemental Power Services Rider Pilot, and the Non-Residential Optional Supplemental Power Services Tariff Program SOW. These agreements are available upon request.

The monthly service payments for each project are in the following ranges over the 20-year term of the OSPS Tariff Program:
* AFL 742: $29,176 - $38,901
* AFL Building 605: $85,700 - $114,267
* Terminal H: $142,751 � $190,334
* Park 4 Flamingo Parking Garage: $60,476 - $80,634
* Park 2 Consumer: $88,157-$117,542

Conclusion
The SOW connected with the attached Feasibility Reports are available upon request. Resolution No. R-1090-23 also directs the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee to provide regular written reports to the Board throughout the term of the MSA of all work projects authorized under the MSA, including identification of implemented projects, along with monies spent. The first annual report describing status of MSA projects initiated to date has been submitted separately as a report to the Board.
