This is Amendment No. 16 to DEP Agency Term Contract No. GC836, a rate increase amendment executed on May 13, 2024, between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and WSP USA Environment & Infrastructure, Inc. The amendment modifies the petroleum contamination site response action services contract originally executed on February 19, 2014, to provide services in the South Region of Florida.

The Department reviewed and approved the requested increases, which do not exceed the maximum 5% allowed under the contract terms. The rate changes apply exclusively to new work assignments offered on or after the Rate Change Date of June 10, 2024, while all pre-Rate Change Date work assignments continue to apply the prior rate schedule. The amendment modifies rates across 265+ pay items spanning field activities (mobilization, drilling, sampling), laboratory analysis (soil and water testing), equipment and system installation (wells, dewatering systems, treatment systems), remediation technologies (vapor extraction, air sparging), soil and waste disposal, construction activities, and professional services (reports, plans, oversight). Rate increases range from approximately 3.57% to 15.00%, with most items at the 5% maximum allowed. The new rate schedule version V3.4 became effective June 10, 2024, following the Department's data processing on June 6, 2024.
