This document is an Amendment No. 1 to DEP Contract No. DC852, a state contract between the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Registe, Sliger Engineering, Inc., a Florida corporation. The original agreement was executed on September 23, 2008, and this amendment was executed on September 20, 2011. The contract pertains to engineering services and is managed by the Division of Recreation and Parks within the DEP.

The amendment modifies the original contract terms to reflect reduced professional fees following a rate renegotiation conducted pursuant to Florida Statutes Chapter 2010-151, which requires state agencies to renegotiate rates with private providers to reduce contract payments. The amended billing rates for various positions range from $44.79 hourly for Clerical staff to $217.40 for Principal/Senior Engineers, with a combined overhead rate of 166.10% and operating margin of 10%. The contract term was extended through a one-year renewal period from September 23, 2011, to September 23, 2014, with renewal contingent upon satisfactory performance and fund availability at the Department's sole discretion. The amendment also added new provisions requiring the consultant and all subcontractants to enroll and participate in the federal E-Verify Program for Employment Verification, with documentation required within 30 to 90 days. The rates certified as of April 27, 2011, represent reductions from previous rates, and the consultant certified compliance with established cost accounting practices and wage increase history requirements.
