This document is Amendment No. 2 to DEP Contract No. GC681, executed between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Leon County, Florida. The contract, originally executed on May 29, 2007, and previously amended on December 10, 2008, was further amended on or after July 1, 2012. The amendment is managed by DEP Contract Manager William E.

The amendment also establishes equipment ownership protocols, liability requirements for vehicles and personal property, conflict-of-interest disclosure procedures, and E-Verify employment verification requirements for all new employees and subcontractors.
