DEP Contract No. GC691, Amendment No. 1, is a contract amendment executed on June 5, 2007, between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Broward County Board of County Commissioners. This amendment modifies an existing indefinite delivery vehicle contract to expand services related to petroleum storage tank system compliance verification and enforcement activities in Broward County. The contract is governed by Florida Statutes Chapter 376 and Florida Administrative Code Chapters 62-761 and 62-762. William E. Burns Jr. serves as the DEP Contract Manager, and the contract includes oversight and approval mechanisms through the DEP Contracts Administrator and DEP Attorney.

Amendment No. 1 became effective July 1, 2008, and expands the contractor's scope to include Level 1 and Level 2 enforcement actions for storage tank system compliance in addition to the existing compliance verification services. The contractor is responsible for administering the compliance verification program, providing technical assistance, conducting inspections, issuing noncompliance letters through the FIRST database system, reviewing closure reports, and performing administrative and judicial enforcement actions under attorney supervision. The contractor must maintain all enforcement documentation on DEP-approved forms, submit quarterly progress reports, and deliver all active enforcement files to DEP within seven days of contract termination. Payment methodology is structured as a fixed-rate arrangement for task assignments, with specific deliverables and performance standards to be defined through individual task assignments. The contractor must possess local ordinances adopting Chapters 62-761 and 62-762 with equivalent penalty authority, and failure to maintain required staffing and resources constitutes material breach of contract.
