This is Amendment No. 2 to DEP Contract No. GC708, a state and local contract indefinite delivery vehicle executed between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and the St. Johns County Health Department. The contract, originally executed on May 29, 2007, and previously amended on January 8, 2009, governs the provision of Level 1 Storage Tank System Compliance Verification services in Putnam County, Florida. The amendment became effective July 1, 2012, and extends the contractor's services to cover Putnam County in addition to the previously referenced St. Johns and Flagler Counties.

The amendment revises the contract's payment methodology from a fixed-price structure to a fee-schedule basis, with compensation provided in accordance with rates specified in each executed Task Assignment. Fee schedule amounts include all costs necessary to perform the work, including labor, fringe benefits, overhead, supplies, travel, and non-expendable personal property or equipment costing less than $1,000. The amendment establishes monthly invoicing requirements, with invoices due by the 15th of the month following service delivery, and payment made according to Section 215.422, Florida Statutes. The amendment also modifies inspection priorities, reporting procedures using the Florida Inspection Reporting for Storage Tanks (FIRST) database, training requirements for field inspectors and enforcement personnel, and equipment ownership terms. Additionally, the amendment includes requirements for E-Verify system compliance for all employees and subcontractors, coordinates with Executive Orders 11-02 and 11-116, and establishes conflict-of-interest disclosure obligations for contractor personnel working with regulated entities.
