This document is an Emergency Extension Agreement between the State of Florida, Department of the Lottery, and St. John & Partners Advertising and Public Relations, Inc., pertaining to the continuation of a General Market Advertising Services & Related Commodities and Services contract originally dated August 26, 2009. The agreement involves extending the existing contract, which has previously been amended and renewed multiple times, with the most recent extensions occurring in 2010, 2013, and 2015.

The emergency extension will commence on February 26, 2016, and continue through either March 31, 2017 or the period required to complete a competitive procurement and successful contract award for new General Market Advertising Services. The contractor will be compensated based on the anticipated annual budget for each fiscal year, as outlined in a previous amendment. The primary purpose of this emergency extension is to ensure uninterrupted advertising services for the Florida Lottery while a new contract is being procured, with the goal of maintaining the lottery's operational integrity and financial stability. The extension was deemed necessary due to unexpected events that could potentially impact the lottery's operations and educational funding.
