This is a Consultant's Task Assignment Notification and supporting contract documentation for an indefinite delivery vehicle under Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) Contract No. DC 860. The task assignment authorizes GRAEF (formerly BCA-GAS, Inc.) to provide professional engineering services for the Photo Voltaic Panels and Wind and Solar design project at Lake Louisa State Park in Orange County, Florida. The engagement is overseen by FDEP Contract Manager Michael Renard and involves coordination with project stakeholders including the Florida Solar Energy Center (FSEC), Nodarse & Associates, Inc. (geotechnical services), and the park's electric utility, SECO. The task assignment was executed in August 2009 with signatures from FDEP officials and GRAEF-USA, Inc.

The project scope encompasses design services for a new photovoltaic and wind turbine system at Lake Louisa State Park, divided into three phases: Phase 1 addressing preliminary feasibility and site assessment; Phase 2 covering geotechnical investigations and wind and solar design specifications; and Phase 3 addressing photovoltaic system integration with existing utility infrastructure. The total task amount is $73,740.00, comprised of GRAEF's total professional services fee of $59,056.00, FSEC consulting fee of $9,244.00, Phase 2 geotechnical services for wind turbines of $2,205.00, and Phase 3 geotechnical services for PV panels of $1,735.00. The fixed price cost is $72,240.00 with cost reimbursement not to exceed $1,500.00. Services include AutoCAD drawings, specifications in book format, travel expenses, and field observations during construction. Completion is scheduled for thirty days after construction completion but not to exceed contract expiration. Nodarse & Associates separately contracted for geotechnical exploration and engineering evaluation services totaling $3,940.00, and FSEC provided technical assistance with a cost estimate of $9,244.00 for feasibility studies, design support, and acceptance testing of installed photovoltaic systems.
