The Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FL DEP) has awarded a blanket purchase order (C7901C) to consultant Douglas M.

Compensation is contingent upon FL DEP acceptance of services and receipt of itemized invoices, with partial payments permitted. Non-satisfactory performance requires contractor re-performance at no additional cost to the Department.
