Summary of DEP Contract No. GC778 Amendment No. 2

This document is Amendment No. 2 to a restated contract between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Terracon Consultants, Inc. The original contract was executed on February 27, 2014, and amended and restated on September 30, 2015. The amendment, executed in March/April 2017, modifies specific contractual provisions governing the ongoing relationship between the state agency and the contractor for services related to the Petroleum Restoration Program.

The amendment updates several key contract provisions including notice and communication procedures, public records requirements, record-keeping and audit procedures, tax exemptions, contractor disqualification standards, and MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction fee assessments. The contractor is required to verify employment eligibility through the E-Verify system and maintain qualified contractor status throughout the contract term. The amendment adds two new guidance documents to the contract scope: a Restatement of Memo dated September 25, 2000, regarding amendments to agency term contracts and protocols for contractor damage to petroleum storage systems and utilities (effective December 16, 2016), and Performance Standards for State-Funded Investigations Near Petroleum Storage Systems and Utilities (also effective December 16, 2016). All other terms and conditions of the restated contract remain unchanged.
