Document Summary

This is an Amendment No. 1 to DEP Contract No. GC688, a contractual services agreement and indefinite delivery vehicle entered into on May 11, 2007, between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Florida Department of Health, Okeechobee County Health Department. The contract is administered by DEP Contract Manager William E. Burns Jr. and covers the Storage Tank System Compliance Verification Program. The amendment modifies specific contractual provisions related to financial reporting and compliance requirements.

Amendment No. 1 deletes Paragraphs 5.H and 5.I in their entirety and replaces Paragraph 28 with revised financial reporting requirements. The contractor is now required to submit a Statement of Revenue, Expenses, and Fund Balance utilizing the "Guidelines for Preparing Year End Financial Statement" within sixty days of the end of the State fiscal year (June 30th). Failure to provide timely submission results in a five percent penalty based on the current Task Assignment amount, deducted from Invoice Number 12 in the Task Assignment Year. The contractor remains obligated to provide the required financial statement to DEP even if submission occurs after the sixty-day deadline and penalty assessment. The contract structure utilizes a lump sum method of payment for task assignments and was executed on December 11, 2008, with approval by the DEP Attorney.
