DEP Contract No. GC787 Amendment No. 2 is an amendment to a restated contract between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and AEROSTAR SES LLC, originally entered into on February 19, 2014, and restated on September 30, 2015. The amendment, executed in March 2017, modifies various operational and administrative provisions of the contract to address notice procedures, public records management, record keeping and audit requirements, tax exemption status, contractor qualification standards, employment verification protocols, and transactional fee obligations related to the state's MyFloridaMarketPlace e-procurement system.

The contract pertains to services provided by AEROSTAR SES LLC to support the DEP's Petroleum Restoration Program, with the contractor maintaining a qualified status throughout the contract term and compliance with federal employment verification requirements. Key modifications establish that the contractor must maintain current qualifications and immediately notify DEP of any lapse in status, employ only authorized workers verified through the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system, and comply with Section 287.135, F.S., regarding scrutinized company requirements if the contract value exceeds one million dollars. The amendment introduces a separate pay item to reimburse the contractor for MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction fees on cost-reimbursable projects issued on or after the September 30, 2015 effective date, with specific provisions addressing automatic deduction of fees from state payments and contractor liability for non-refundable fees resulting from performance failures or specification non-compliance.
