This document is an Amendment No. 1 to a state contract (DEP Contract No. DC847) between the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Wantman Group, Inc., a Florida corporation. The amendment is dated February 2013 and modifies the original contract that was initially executed on March 1, 2010.

The amendment addresses contract rate reductions in response to Chapter No. 2010-151 of Florida Laws, which required state agencies to review and renegotiate contract rates.

The contract term is extended from March 1, 2013, to March 1, 2016, with renewal contingent upon satisfactory performance and at the sole discretion of the Department. The amendment also adds a requirement for the Consultant to enroll and participate in the federal E-Verify Program for Employment Verification within specified timeframes, with compliance being a critical contract condition.
