DEP Contract No. DC818, Amendment No. 1

This is Amendment No. 1 to a service contract between the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Chastain-Skillman, Inc., a Florida corporation, executed on July 9, 2008. The amendment was executed on June 29, 2011, and modifies the original agreement to implement reduced contract rates following a comprehensive rate renegotiation conducted pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 2010-151.

The amendment extends the contract completion date from July 9, 2011, to July 9, 2014, providing a three-year renewal period contingent upon satisfactory performance and fund availability at the Department's sole discretion. Professional fees are established as a fixed price arrangement that includes all non-reimbursable costs and profit, with fees apportioned to the percentage of total services for each periodic invoice. The amendment adds new requirements mandating the Consultant's enrollment and participation in the federal E-Verify Program within thirty days of the amendment's effective date, with all subconsultants required to enroll within ninety days. The Consultant must maintain and provide enrollment documentation to DEP upon request. Failure to comply with E-Verify requirements is treated as a material breach of the contract.
