This document is Amendment No. 1 to DEP Contract No. GC676, a contractual services agreement entered into on May 4, 2007, between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Florida Department of Health, Escambia County Health Department. The contract is managed by DEP Contract Manager William E. Burns Jr. The amendment addresses separation of duties requirements and modifies contract terms to ensure adequate internal controls in the procurement of goods and services.

The contract covers a Storage Tank System Compliance Verification Program to be performed by the Florida Department of Health on an indefinite delivery basis. Amendment No. 1 deletes paragraphs 5.H and 5.I in their entirety and replaces paragraph 28 with new reporting requirements, mandating that the contractor provide a Statement of Revenue, Expenses and Fund Balance within sixty days of the end of each State fiscal year (June 30th). The amendment imposes a five percent penalty on the current task assignment amount if the contractor fails to timely submit this financial statement within the sixty-day deadline, with penalties subtracted from Invoice Number 12 in the current task assignment year. The contractor remains obligated to provide the required statement to DEP even if submitted after the sixty-day deadline and subject to penalty assessment.
