The amendment modifies multiple contract paragraphs to update notice requirements, public records procedures, record keeping and audit obligations, tax exemption status, contractor disqualification provisions, and MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction fee procedures. Specific changes include revised contact information for the contractor (East Coast Environmental, Inc., P.O. Box 411396, Melbourne, Florida 32941, Attn: Robert Padden) and the Department (Petroleum Restoration Program, 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida 32399), updated contractor qualification and employment verification requirements including E-Verify compliance and Section 287.135 scrutinized company certification, and clarification that transaction fees for MyFloridaMarketPlace purchases will be reimbursed separately on a per-task basis for projects issued on or after the effective date of September 30, 2015. The amendment also adds new guidance documents related to investigations near petroleum storage systems and deletes Item 44 from the DEP Guidance Documents and Forms table while adding Items 44.a and 44.b addressing remedial amendments and performance standards for state-funded investigations.
