This is Amendment No. 15 to DEP Agency Term Contract No. GC766, a rate increase amendment to the Petroleum Restoration Program contract between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and Imperial Testing and Engineering, Inc. (Contractor). The contract, originally executed on February 24, 2014, provides petroleum contamination site response action services in the Central Region of Florida. This amendment authorizes rate increases to the contractor's existing rate schedule for new work assignments effective on a specified Rate Change Date following Department data processing of the changes.

The amendment increases rates across a comprehensive schedule of pay items related to site assessment, drilling, boring, sampling, analysis, excavation, dewatering systems, remedial action, and professional services. Rate increases range from approximately 4.65% to 5.00%, with the majority of items receiving a 5.00% increase. Specific examples include File Review increasing from $586.92 to $616.26, Direct Push Technology (DPT) Rig and Equipment increasing from $2,100.39 to $2,205.40, and System Installation/Integration/Startup packages increasing proportionally across multiple technology components. The amendment establishes that all pre-Rate Change Date work assignments continue under the prior rate schedule, while new work assignments offered on or after the Rate Change Date apply the revised rates specified in the new Attachment D Rate Schedule (V3.5). The requested increase percentage does not exceed the maximum of 5% allowed under contract provision 11.B.ii. Department data processing information indicates an effective Rate Change Date of June 10, 2024, with the corresponding rate schedule version V3.5.
