This document is Amendment No. 2 to DEP Contract No. GC676, a state contract between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Escambia County Health Department. The contract was originally executed on May 4, 2007, and amended on March 7, 2009, with this second amendment effective July 1, 2012. The amendment expands the geographic scope of services from the original five counties (Escambia, Bay, Okaloosa, Santa Rosa, and Walton) to eight counties by adding Holmes and Washington Counties.

The contract provides Level 1 Storage Tank System Compliance Verification services, with compensation changing from a fixed price structure to a fee schedule basis. Under the amended terms, the contractor receives compensation on a fee schedule basis per executed Task Assignment, with all costs including labor, fringe benefits, overhead, supplies, travel, and non-expendable personal property of $1,000 or less included in the fee. The contractor is required to submit monthly invoices detailing services rendered, with final invoices due prior to task completion to ensure funding availability. The contract mandates that all field inspectors and enforcement personnel complete scheduled storage tank inspector training courses and pass examinations. Additionally, the contractor must utilize the Florida Inspection Reporting for Storage Tanks (FIRST) database for all inspection activities and determine accurate latitude and longitude coordinates for each facility inspected. The contractor is responsible for equipment maintenance, vehicle operation insurance with comprehensive collision coverage, and must comply with E-Verify employment verification requirements and separation of duties provisions to prevent conflicts of interest.
