The North Miami City Council convened on August 1, 2025, to discuss a significant initiative aimed at enhancing the city's water management systems. The council reviewed a proposal to award a contract to Performance Services Incorporated for guaranteed energy, water, and wastewater performance savings contracting services. This decision is poised to improve operational efficiencies through the integration of smart water technologies and an automated Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) system.

During the meeting, Council Member Alberto Estrada presented the evaluation committee's recommendation, noting that four proposals were submitted and reviewed. All applicants met the minimum requirements, but Performance Services emerged as the top choice following a thorough evaluation process conducted on July 1. The council is now tasked with reviewing the committee's findings before finalizing the contract.

The initial focus of this project is to enhance the city's water management capabilities, which is crucial for ensuring sustainable resource use and improving service delivery to residents. Following negotiations with Performance Services, the results will be brought back to the council for further approval, ensuring transparency and community involvement in the decision-making process.

In addition to the primary agenda item, community members expressed their support for the initiative, highlighting its potential benefits for North Miami's infrastructure and environmental sustainability. The council's commitment to modernizing water management systems reflects a broader goal of improving public services and addressing community needs effectively.

As the city moves forward with this project, residents can anticipate advancements in water management that will contribute to a more efficient and sustainable future for North Miami.
