This is a contract amendment (Amendment No. 1) for DEP Contract No. GC680, a state and local indefinite delivery vehicle between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Palm Beach County Board of County Commissioners. The contract was originally executed on June 5, 2007, and this amendment was signed on February 3, 2009. The amendment is managed by DEP Contract Manager William E. Burns Jr. and addresses separation of duties requirements to ensure adequate controls in the procurement of goods and services by the Department.

The contract pertains to a Storage Tank System Compliance Verification Program and utilizes a lump sum method of payment. Amendment No. 1 modifies three specific contract provisions: it deletes Paragraph 5.H in its entirety, deletes Paragraph 5.I in its entirety, and replaces Paragraph 28 with new financial reporting requirements. Under the revised Paragraph 28, the contractor must provide a Statement of Revenue, Expenses and Fund Balance within sixty days of the end of each executed task assignment using specified guidance documentation. The contractor faces a five percent penalty if the statement is not timely submitted; this penalty is subtracted from the current task assignment amount and subsequently applied to Invoice Number 12 of that task assignment year. The contractor remains obligated to provide the statement even if the sixty-day deadline passes and the penalty is assessed.
