This is Amendment No. 3 to DEP Contract No. GC689, a state and local contract indefinite delivery vehicle executed between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Alachua County Board of County Commissioners. The contract was originally executed on May 22, 2007, and previously amended on January 13, 2009, and November 1, 2011. The amendment was executed on September 23, 2012, by Richard A. Drummond, County Manager for Alachua County, and approved by William E. Burns Jr., DEP Contract Manager. DEP Attorney Maureen Moss approved the amendment as to form and legality.

Amendment No. 3 expands the scope of services to include Level 1 Storage Tank System Compliance Verification services in Marion and Clay Counties, in addition to the original Alachua County coverage. The amendment modifies the contract structure from fixed pricing to a fee schedule basis and establishes compensation on a monthly invoicing schedule using the "Contractual Services Invoice" format. Payment terms require invoices to be submitted within 15 days of month-end and are subject to pre-audit and post-audit review, with final invoices due prior to task assignment completion dates. The amendment adds critical operational requirements including mandatory use of the Florida Inspection Reporting for Storage Tanks (FIRST) database, required training and certification for field inspectors and enforcement personnel, GPS coordinate documentation for inspected facilities, and E-Verify employment verification for all new employees. Equipment provisions allow the contractor to retain ownership of non-expendable personal property purchased under the contract, with the contractor bearing responsibility for loss, damage, or theft, and maintaining comprehensive collision and general automobile liability insurance for any vehicles used in performance.
