About this file
This document is a Task Assignment Notification Form and accompanying Scope of Work issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to Taylor Engineering, Inc. for work under Contract CN335. The task assignment, designated as TA14, is managed by Jeffrey Whitfield as FDEP Contract Manager and Angela Schedel as the Consultant Representative. The work pertains to the Sea Level Impact Projection (SLIP) Study, a web-based application initially outlined in a previous task assignment (TA10) executed on October 26, 2020. This retasking was necessitated by funding limitations that required the removal of Subtask 6 through Change Order 1 and scheduling conflicts that prevented completion of Subtask 7 by its original deadline.
The contract encompasses two primary tasks: Task 6 involves the maintenance and hosting of the SLIP Web Application through June 30, 2022, broken into monthly subtasks (6a through 6i) spanning October 2021 through June 2022, with a fixed price cost of $5,695.24 per month ($56,952.40 for ten months). Task 7 requires the provision of comprehensive technical documentation, licensing agreements, and copyright registration to enable the department to re-engineer the application into a Department-supportable platform, with a fixed price cost of $18,017.16 due by October 15, 2021. The total task assignment amount is $69,274.32, funded through Project R2236 under FDEP's budget allocation. All work is contingent upon approval of monthly deliverables by FDEP, with payment issued upon acceptance. Attachment A specifies service level agreements including 99.5% system availability, disaster recovery within 24 hours, and tiered support response times based on priority levels, while Taylor Engineering maintains copyright to the web application code subject to licensing provisions detailed in Attachment B.

RE: FDEP Agreement Number CN335 TA10 Retask
Sea Level Impact Projection (SLIP) Study Website Design and Web Application Development
Dear Mr. Whitfield:
As requested by FDEP, Taylor Engineering is submitting a retask for the above-referenced project for tasks 6 and 7. Justification for the retask is as follows:
1. Task 6 was removed at FDEP’s request on June 14, 2021 via Change Order 1 due to limitations in FRCP’s funding beyond the fiscal year.
2. FDEP requested the task be submitted as a retask on August 25, 2021 in order for the SLIP Tool to be maintained and hosted by Taylor Engineering until FDEP OIT brings these duties in house.
3. Task 7 was unable to be completed by August 30, 2021 due to scheduling conflicts for a coordination meeting with OGC, OIT, ORCP, and Taylor Engineering.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely, Angela Schedel, Ph.D., P.E.
Vice President, Community Resilience
SCOPE OF WORK
SEA LEVEL IMPACT PROJECTION (SLIP) STUDY
WEBSITE MAINTENANCE AND HOSTING AGREEMENT
Introduction:
Taylor Engineering (“Taylor”) will continue to maintain and host a map-based web application for the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (“Department”) in order to provide a SLIP study that meets the goals described in the Tasks below that was initially outlined in TA10 (executed 10/26/2020).
This will be an outward facing web application and will be hosted by Taylor after public launch. Taylor will retain and store all data collected thereby for the duration of the agreement. This Task Assignment incorporates by this reference all provisions of CN335, the contract under which it is issued. Except and only to the extent not irreconcilably inconsistent with the provisions below, all provisions thereof shall apply.
The following tasks comprise the scope:

Attachment A Hosting, Backup, Security and Service Level Agreement (SLA)
Hosting: The web application will be provided using a high availability cloud-based hosting service.
Performance: Performance will be assessed at the end of each calendar month. If the site does not perform at an acceptable level, a 15% service credit for the month will be applied. The website performance will be deemed acceptable by either:
a) Fulfilling the SLIP Tool’s performance metrics as defined by the Department for each of the website’s functions or, in the event these metrics are not all fulfilled
b) The Department deeming the site’s performance as acceptable
Backups:
1. System snapshots will occur on a daily basis and will be stored at an offsite location.
2. Data backups will occur at the end of the business day and will be stored at an offsite location.
Backup frequency may be increased to as often as every four hours if requested by the department.
3. Retrieval of System or Data backups shall be provided to Department upon request.
4. An export of (or access to) the source code and spatial data shall be provided to the Department on at least a quarterly basis using an agreed upon file location.
Recovery: In the event of a catastrophic failure or major outage, the System will be recovered to a fully functional state and available to the public within 24 hours. Service disruptions during failover to disaster recovery sites and the period of time before those sites are brought up will be counted as downtime.
Availability: Software service will be available twenty-four (24) hours per day, seven (7) days a week, exclusive of scheduled maintenance periods. Unscheduled outages (i.e., any issue that causes the system to fail to perform one or more of its primary functions) may not exceed 4 hours cumulative in a month.
System Availability SLA: Service will maintain at least a 99.5% System Availability Percentage during each Month for the production version of the service. Should outages cumulate in excess of 4 hours within a calendar month, a 5% service credit will be applied, and additional 5% service credits applied every 30 minutes thereafter (not to exceed 100%). Service availability, however, does not include regularly scheduled maintenance or any unscheduled downtime due to failures beyond Contractor’s reasonable control (such as errors or malfunctions due to the Department’s computer systems, or the public user’s local hardware/Internet connectivity).
Maintenance: A weekly routine maintenance window for software, data and service updates will be designated during the period between 12 midnight and 3 AM EST, on a Wednesday. During this time, the system may be temporarily unavailable. Department will be provided at least five (5) days’ notice in order to accommodate any longer or different maintenance windows.
Security:
Services will be provided to the public jurisdiction and its end users solely from data centers in the United States (U.S.). Storage of public jurisdiction data at rest shall be located solely in data centers in the U.S.
Support: Service support representative(s) will be available to respond to Department support requests by phone or e-mail to John Messer or designee in the Taylor development team during the hours of 8 am through 4 pm Eastern Standard Time, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays observed by the Department. Only Department service administrators are authorized to submit service requests to Contractor. Department service administrators will review all lower level requests first to determine the need to escalate to the Taylor Engineering Technology Services support team as a Priority 1, 2, or 3 request.
Response and Resolution: Any error reported by DEP will be corrected in accordance with the priority level as defined below:
Priority Category Definition
Priority 1 An error that renders the software service inoperative or causes the software/service to be unavailable or unusable.
Priority 2
An error other than a Priority 1 error that results in the loss of any major or significant feature or functionality of the software service or significant degradation of the performance of the software/service or that significantly restricts Department’s use of the software service.
Priority 3 An error other than a Priority 1 or 2 error that results in the loss of a less significant feature or functionality of the software/service.
Response and Resolution SLAs:
