This document is a Change Order No. 01 issued by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to George F. Young, Inc. (GFY) under Contract DC805, Task Assignment No. 18, for continuing professional services at Silver River State Park in Ocala, Florida. The change order amends the existing contract agreement between FDEP and the contractor to authorize an addition of gopher tortoise handling services outlined in the detailed scope of work.

The change order increases the contract value by $84,533.16, bringing the new task amount to $172,194.89 from an original task amount of $87,661.73. Services include a gopher tortoise survey, Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission permit application preparation and submission, survey silt fence staking across four construction phases, gopher tortoise resurvey and silt fence assistance during construction, excavation and relocation of up to 70 tortoise holes (with additional fees for holes exceeding this threshold), and electrical and water meter design for the on-site pump station. The fixed-price compensation is structured as a lump sum with detailed task breakdowns, and all reports are to be delivered in specified formats (8.5" x 11" and 24" x 36" where applicable). The contract completion date remains unchanged, with project performance requirements including timely delivery of satisfactory deliverables and potential contract termination for unsatisfactory performance.
