This is Amendment No. 2 to DEP Contract No. GC693, a service contract between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Sarasota County Board of County Commissioners. The amendment was executed on November 8, 2012, and modifies the original contract dated July 10, 2007, as previously amended on April 7, 2009. The contract establishes a service delivery relationship for storage tank inspection and management activities within Sarasota County's jurisdiction.

The amendment fundamentally changes the contract's compensation structure from fixed price to a fee-schedule basis, with payment calculated according to rates specified in each executed Task Assignment. Compensation is provided on a monthly invoicing basis and includes all costs necessary to perform outlined work, including labor, fringe benefits, overhead, supplies, travel, and non-expendable personal property or equipment costing less than $1,000. The contractor is responsible for performing routine compliance inspections and re-inspections of facilities using the Florida Inspection Reporting for Storage Tanks (FIRST) database and equipment in accordance with established standards. All field inspectors and enforcement personnel must attend scheduled storage tank inspector training courses and pass required examinations. The amendment establishes specific requirements for facility coordinate documentation, record-keeping using DEP-approved procedures, Statement of Revenue and Expenses reporting for the period July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2012, equipment ownership and maintenance responsibilities, and vehicle insurance coverage. Additionally, the contractor is required to utilize the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system to confirm employment eligibility for all new employees and to include similar E-Verify requirements in all related subcontracts.
