Amendment No. 2 downgrades the contractor's enforcement level of effort from Level 2 to Level 1 due to funding and staffing issues, and removes Level 2 Storage Tank System Compliance Verification services in Hillsborough County.

Personnel conducting Level 1 enforcement activities must hold a position equivalent to Environmental Specialist II level or higher, with noncompliance letters prepared and directed by an Environmental Specialist II or higher. The contractor must also administer the compliance verification program, provide technical assistance, conduct Discharge Prevention Response Certificate inspections at applicable facilities, and review closure reports filed by facility owners to ensure compliance with DEP's Storage Tank System Closure Requirements. The contract operates under a Lump Sum payment method for the Storage Tank System Compliance Verification Program, with services to be delivered in accordance with DEP forms and directives.
