A private transportation company with politically astute owners and a troublesome track record could score a $9 million no-bid extension on an expired Miami-Dade contract to operate more than two dozen bus routes.


Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava is seeking approval from county commissioners to waive competitive bidding and re-up with Limousines of South Florida for one year while the county’s Transportation and Public Works Department transitions to a new vendor, according to a May 3 memo. The county commission is set to vote on the contract extension June 14.


Should Levine Cava’s request pass, it will mark the sixth time since 2017 that Miami-Dade elected officials have given Limousines of South Florida, or LSF, a no-bid renewal despite poor service complaints from disabled riders, lawsuits against the company by people allegedly injured by its drivers and warnings from the county’s transit union leaders that LSF is a dangerous operator. The company is currently operating bus routes even though its agreement terminated in February.

During the same five-year span, company owners Rene and Raymond Gonzalez, through LSF, its sister company Transportation America and dozens of other related corporations, have helped fuel political runs by Levine Cava and 12 out of 13 county commissioners to the tune of $223,000, according to campaign finance reports.

The Gonzalezes are also gassing up the candidacies of leading contenders for county commission seats that are up for grabs in the upcoming August primary election. Doral Mayor Juan Carlos “JC” Bermudez, who is running to replace termed-out Jose “Pepe” Diaz, got $10,000. State Rep. Bryan Avila, who wants the seat being vacated by termed-out Rebeca Sosa, also scored $10,000. Micky Steinberg, an ex-Miami Beach commissioner who is the only candidate seeking Sally Heyman’s termed-out seat, received $13,000.

In the past decade, various Gonzalez enterprises have pumped $682,500 into the campaigns and political action committees supporting candidates for city of Miami and county elective offices who won and their reelection campaigns, according to a spreadsheet showing political contributions made by LSF and its related companies.

Critics like Danielle Rivera, a Miami resident and public transit activist, allege LSF and its affiliates keep winning lucrative county contracts and no-bid extensions worth millions of dollars annually because the Gonzalezes’ campaign bundling prowess has endeared them to Miami-Dade elected officials.

“They just turn around and give them more contracts,” Rivera said. “I don’t understand it other than the campaign money.”

Former state legislator Miguel De Grandy, a government affairs lawyer representing LSF, Transportation America and other Gonzalez entities, denied that his clients are successful due to political quid pro quos. “These were not backroom deals,” De Grandy said. “They were hotly contested. My clients won them in an open process.”

Rivera, who said she has to use a walker because she suffers from nerve damage, has been complaining to county officials about LSF since 2017, when Miami-Dade hired the company to operate 14 under-utilized public bus routes. At the time, Miami-Dade bureaucrats claimed outsourcing the bus routes was a cost-saving measure. Instead of seeking bids, the county accessed a contract LSF has with the city of Miami to operate and maintain the city’s free trolley buses. While the city owns and provides the trolleys, LSF uses its own fleet of buses for 22 Miami-Dade routes, plus once-a-week bus service for disabled and elderly residents in six residential communities in unincorporated Miami-Dade.

As a disabled person relying on public transit, Rivera told Florida Bulldog that she believes Limousines of South Florida does a terrible job dealing with handicapped riders, mostly based on her own experiences trying to catch rides on the Miami trolley that stops in front of her apartment building in the city’s Roads neighborhood.

“The wheelchair lifts and ramps often don’t work and are not maintained,” Rivera said. “The drivers will argue against using the lift when I ask for it. They also don’t stop or let me get on when they see I have a walker.”

In addition to seeking fixes from LSF executives and city and county transportation managers, Rivera has pleaded with Miami-Dade elected officials to stop renewing LSF’s contract at county commission meetings. Rivera also documented some of her interactions with LSF buses and trolleys with her cellphone camera, posting the clips on her social media accounts.

Her first video, which she took in October 2017, shows Rivera attempting to get on an LSF bus along a route near Homestead in southwest Miami-Dade that the company took over.
