This is Amendment 1 to DEP Contract No. CN029, a professional engineering services contract between the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Olsen Associates, Inc., a Florida corporation headquartered in Jacksonville. The amendment was executed on January 22, 2014, and modifies the original agreement entered into on February 3, 2011. The contract was awarded through the Consultants Competitive Negotiations Act under Section 287.055 Florida Statutes, utilizing Request for Statement of Qualifications No. RFSOQBDC02 09/10. The prime consultant works with seven approved sub-consultants: Coastal Eco Group, Inc.; Anamar Environmental Consulting, Inc.; Morgan & Eklund, Inc.; Scientific Environmental Applications, Inc.; Bowen Civil Engineering, Inc.; Alpine Ocean Seismic Survey, Inc.; and Arc Surveying & Mapping, Inc.

Amendment 1 implements a 3% reduction to 2014 rates for both the prime consultant and all approved sub-consultants, with revised wage rates detailed in Attachment A-1. The contract term was originally three years from execution, with one optional three-year renewal period. The amendment exercises the three-year renewal option, extending the contract completion date from February 3, 2014, to February 3, 2017. The amendment also adds new paragraph 19, requiring the consultant and all subcontractors to enroll in and maintain compliance with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify employment verification system within specified timeframes, with failure to comply constituting a material breach of contract. All other original contract terms remain in full force and effect.
