Document Summary

This is Amendment No. 2 to DEP Contract No. GC837, a contract amendment between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and American Environmental Engineering of Florida, Inc. The amendment was executed on September 30, 2015, modifying the original contract dated February 28, 2014. The amendment updates contract terms and operational procedures, including notification procedures, public records handling, record keeping requirements, audit provisions, tax exemption status, contractor qualifications, employment verification requirements, transaction fee obligations, and execution procedures. Additionally, the amendment modifies the Scope of Services by deleting one guidance document item and adding two new items related to petroleum storage systems investigations and performance standards.

The contract involves petroleum restoration program services provided by American Environmental Engineering of Florida, Inc., headquartered at 100 South Pine Island Road, Suite 108, Plantation, Florida 33324. Key modifications include establishment of MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction fee requirements with automatic deduction from state payments where possible, contractor liability for delinquent transaction fees, and implementation of E-Verify employment eligibility verification for all contractor employees and subcontractors. The amendment specifies that the Department maintains the right to unilaterally cancel the contract for non-compliance with public records requirements under Florida law, and that all work must comply with United States generally accepted accounting principles. The contractor is required to maintain qualified status throughout the contract term and notify the Department immediately if qualifications lapse, with failure to do so resulting in suspension or termination of work assignments.
