committee

The single biggest move of the day was the BCC approving a 15-year concession contract worth $93.8 million in projected revenue to AD Partnership, LLC to build and operate the Chase Sapphire Lounge by The Club inside MIA. That figure flows to the county, not from it, making this a net revenue event, and the winner is AD Partnership, which locks up premium lounge real estate at one of the busiest international airports in the country for a decade and a half with no disclosed competing bid named in the record. Alongside that, the county approved two long-term ground leases at Miami Executive Airport: a 30-year deal with CR Aviation Leasing, LLC on a 222,870 sq ft parcel requiring at least $4 million in developer investment, and a 25-year deal with MQ TMB Holdings, LLC on a 310,026 sq ft parcel for hangar development. Both were approved under Florida Statute 125.35(1)(b)(1), the competitive-process exemption for development leases, meaning the county bypassed a standard bid and handed two large parcels of airport land to specific private developers for a combined term running past 2050. The county also approved five parallel engineering and inspection contracts at MIA, each worth up to $41.35 million over five years with a renewal option, a combined ceiling near $207 million. PortMiami's preferential berthing deal with Margaritaville at Sea, generating $23.15 million, and the monthly capital program report rounded out the agenda as ministerial and informational items respectively.
