This document is a first amendment to a state contract (DEP Contract No. DC816) between the State of Florida's Department of Environmental Protection and Ayres Associates Inc., a Florida corporation, originally executed on June 23, 2008. The amendment involves a state agency contract modification and renewal process, addressing compliance with Chapter No. 2010-151 of the Laws of Florida regarding contract rate reductions and renewals.

The amendment extends the contract's completion date from June 23, 2011, to June 23, 2014, and modifies several key paragraphs related to the agreement's term, professional fees, and contract conditions. A significant addition is the requirement for the Consultant to enroll and participate in the federal E-Verify Program for Employment Verification under the "Memorandum of Understanding", which mandates documentation of subcontractor and employee enrollment. The contract maintains its original terms and conditions, with the amendment focusing on renewal, rate adjustments, and compliance with state procurement guidelines. Professional fees are to be expressed as a fixed price, including the Consultant's non-reimbursable costs and profit, with invoicing based on the percentage of total services completed.
