This document is Amendment No. 1 to DEP Contract No. GC693, a contractual services agreement executed on July 10, 2007, between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Sarasota County Board of County Commissioners. The contract is managed by William E. Burns Jr. on behalf of DEP. The amendment was executed on April 17, 2009, and approved by the DEP Contracts Administrator and DEP Attorney.

The contract covers Storage Tank System Compliance Verification Program services provided by Sarasota County. The amendment modifies reporting and penalty provisions, specifically requiring the contractor to provide a Statement of Revenue, Expenses, and Fund Balance using guidelines for year-end financial statements within sixty (60) days of the end of the State fiscal year (June 30th). The amendment imposes a five percent (5%) penalty on the current Task Assignment amount for failure to timely submit the required statement. The contractor remains obligated to provide the statement even after the sixty-day deadline and continues to face the five percent penalty. The payment method is structured as a lump sum arrangement. The contract utilizes an exempt procurement method designated for governmental entities, with all completed work subject to verification through certified statements signed by the contract manager or higher authority prior to payment.
