Jones Environmental Services Company) and Owen Ayers & Associates, Inc. The contract, initially executed on June 17, 1999, and subsequently amended on November 22, 2000, February 22, 2002, June 25, 2003, April 3, 2004, and June 1, 2004, provides petroleum contamination site cleanup services. The amendment, executed in May 2005, reflects modifications to key contract terms and operational requirements.

Amendment No. 6 revises the handling fee structure to a maximum of 10 percent on subcontracted work and purchased capital equipment, modifies laboratory analysis procedures to establish a maximum three-week analytical turnaround time, and updates drilling rate procedures to require submission using the Petroleum Cleanup Preapproval Program Standard Operating Procedures manual. The amendment deletes Paragraph 36 in its entirety and replaces it with new subcontracting language that designates specific approved environmental laboratories while establishing the contractor's responsibility for all subcontracted work performance and associated expenses. Attachment C-1 (Revised Rate Schedule from May 2004) is deleted and replaced with Attachment C-2 (Revised Rate Schedule from April 2005), and Attachment L (Quality Assurance Requirements for Department Contracts) is added. The contract includes comprehensive rate schedules for equipment rental, equipment kits, laboratory analyses, and drilling services, with detailed quality assurance requirements conforming to Florida Administrative Code Chapter 62-160 and National Environmental Laboratory Accreditation Conference standards.
