This document is a Change Order issued by the Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) for the State of Florida, specifically modifying a continuing professional services contract with George F. Young, Inc. (GFY), a consulting firm specializing in architecture, engineering, surveying, and environmental services. The change order pertains to work at Estero Bay Preserve State Park and is identified as Task Assignment No. 09, Change Order No. 06 under DEP Contract No. DC805, with Project No. CL010. The contact person is Chris Jordan of GFY, located in Bradenton, Florida.

The change order authorizes GFY to perform additional services related to gopher tortoise survey and relocation permit work at Estero Bay State Park Broadway Trailhead. The deliverables include a Gopher Tortoise Survey and Gopher Tortoise Relocation Permit. The estimated fee for these additional services is $2,790.12, with a completion schedule of one month after change order receipt. The services are required because the original gopher tortoise permit expired and a new location permit is needed from Florida Fish & Wildlife. The revised total project fee increased from $18,977.80 to $32,957.46. The scope of services encompasses two primary tasks: Task I includes site assessment, soils review, vegetation mapping, and gopher tortoise survey work performed by senior ecologists, ecologists, and CADD technicians totaling $1,674.84; Task II covers permit application preparation for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FFWCC) with associated labor costs of $915.28, plus a $200 FFWCC application fee for fewer than 10 burrows on-site relocation.
