The amendment was executed on March 24, 2017. AGUA LLC, headquartered at 6216 NW 43rd Street, Suite B, Gainesville, Florida 32653, provides services to FDEP's Petroleum Restoration Program located at 2600 Blair Stone Road, Tallahassee, Florida.

Amendment No. 2 modifies several contract provisions including notice delivery methods (now requiring electronic mail as primary delivery), public records management requirements under Florida law, record-keeping and audit procedures, tax exemption clarifications, contractor qualification and disqualification standards, and MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction fee assessment procedures. The amendment establishes that the contractor must use the E-Verify system to verify employment eligibility and includes provisions regarding unauthorized aliens and scrutinized companies. Additionally, the amendment updates the Scope of Services to add two new guidance documents: a restatement of a Petroleum Storage Systems and Utilities contractor damage memo dated December 16, 2016, and performance standards for state-funded investigations near petroleum storage systems. The contract permits execution in counterparts and accepts facsimile or PDF signatures as valid binding obligations. All other terms and conditions of the restated contract remain unchanged.
