The Town of Cutler Bay council approved a resolution on Nov. 19 selecting Redland Company Inc. to perform soil remediation at Blue Heron Park under invitation to bid #25‑06. Town environmental counsel Michael Goldstein reviewed the regulatory status and the town’s Brownfield designation, saying all regulatory approvals necessary to begin remediation are in place and a Brownfield site rehabilitation agreement for tax credits is expected within one to two weeks.

Goldstein told council the town manager sequenced the project to maximize financial recovery: “we are able to actually double our net cash on cash recovery to approximately $1,350,000,” he said, and added that third‑party liability protections included in the Brownfield process were an important benefit. He also said the project sequencing and a tree‑mitigation plan will preserve roughly 297 trees during remediation.

The manager noted the contractor (Redland) has prior knowledge of the Legacy Park site and remediation processes and recommended award. Council approved the selection by voice vote. The council also authorized a purchase order to Kimberly Horne and Associates for environmental engineering and quality control services related to the remediation; that authorization passed by motion and voice vote.

Next steps: staff will execute the Brownfield site rehabilitation agreement with Miami‑Dade County, finalize the remediation contract with Redland, and initiate site remediation work, which town staff indicated is expected to begin before year‑end.
