This document is a Task Work Order Amendment for a Master Agreement between Florida State University and the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Research Center. The contract (BDK83) involves Task Work Order (TWO) #977-09, which is focused on a research study titled "Aging Driver and Pedestrian Safety: Human Factors Study". The amendment is specifically labeled as Amendment #3 and involves redistributing funds between existing project categories without changing the total contract amount of $215,000.00.

The research project runs from October 1st, 2009 to October 1st, 2011, with Neil Charness, Ph.D. as the Principal Investigator. The amendment specifically addresses Task 4 of the project, which aims to compare the legibility of standard internally illuminated overhead street signs to reflective internally illuminated overhead street signs. The project requires purchasing 16 sign panels (8 standard non-reflective at $90 each and 8 reflective at $160 each), totaling $2,000.00. Funds are being reallocated from the police payment category to cover these equipment expenses, with Southern Manufacturing providing sign housing and offering a discount. The contract is structured as a cost-plus agreement with quarterly invoicing and detailed budget categories including salaries, equipment, expenses, tuition, and indirect costs.
