This is Amendment No. 1 to DEP Contract No. GC697, a contractual services agreement and purchase order for task assignments between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the Florida Department of Health, Pinellas County Health Division. The contract was originally executed on June 4, 2007, and is managed by William E. Burns Jr. on behalf of DEP. The amendment addresses separation of duties requirements and modifies specific contractual provisions to ensure adequate procurement controls and oversight by authorized reviewing authorities.

The services provided under this contract pertain to the Storage Tank System Compliance Verification Program. Amendment No. 1 deletes Paragraphs 5.H and 5.I from the original agreement and replaces Paragraph 28 to establish new financial reporting requirements. The contractor must now submit a Statement of Revenue, Expenses and Fund Balance utilizing Guidelines for Preparing Year End Financial Statements within sixty days of the fiscal year end (June 30th). Failure to timely provide this statement results in a five percent penalty assessed against the current task assignment amount, with penalties deducted from Invoice Number 12. The payment method is structured as a lump sum arrangement, with deliverables and pricing to be specified in individual task assignments. The amendment was executed on December 2, 2008, and approved as to form and legality by DEP counsel.
