DEP Contract No. GC728 Amendment No. 2 is an amendment to a restated contract entered into on February 27, 2014, and amended on September 30, 2015, between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and Advanced Environmental Technologies, LLC (Contractor). The contractor is located at 1933 Commonwealth Lane, Tallahassee, Florida 32303, with Keith Townsel serving as the primary contact. This amendment modifies multiple paragraphs of the original restated contract, including provisions related to notices, public records, record keeping and audit, tax exemption, disqualification, MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction fees, execution in counterparts, and updates to the scope of services guidance documents and forms.

The amendment establishes requirements for public records compliance under Florida law Chapter 119, mandates contractor maintenance of books and records in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) with Department access for five years post-completion, and requires cooperation with the Department's Inspector General. The contractor must maintain qualified contractor status, use E-Verify for employee eligibility verification, and comply with Section 287.135 regarding scrutinized companies if the contract value exceeds one million dollars. The amendment implements MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction fees to be deducted from payments when possible, establishes procedures for handling returned items, and adds two new guidance documents (Items 44.a and 44.b) related to petroleum storage systems and performance standards, effective December 16, 2016. The amendment was executed on March 15, 2017, by the Contractor and on April 5, 2017, by the Department.
