This document is an amendment (Amendment No. 1) to a contract between the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (the "Department") and DAG Architects, Inc., a Florida corporation (the "Consultant"), originally entered into on May 23, 2008. The contract is identified as DEP Contract No. DC799 and involves professional architectural and design services.

The amendment extends the contract's completion date from May 23, 2011, to May 23, 2014, and reduces the consultant's hourly billing rates by 10% in response to Chapter No. 2010-151 of the Laws of Florida, which requires state agencies to reduce contract payments. The revised hourly rates range from $45 for administrative staff to $157.50 for principals. The amendment also adds a new provision requiring the consultant to enroll and participate in the federal E-Verify Program for Employment Verification and to ensure that subcontractors do the same. The contract renewal is contingent upon satisfactory performance and is at the sole discretion of the Department, with no automatic or guaranteed renewal.
