Amendment No. 15 to DEP Agency Term Contract No. GC870

This document is Amendment No. 15 to Agency Term Contract No. GC870 between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Imperial Testing and Engineering, Inc. (the Contractor). The original contract was executed on February 24, 2014, to provide petroleum contamination site response action services in the South Region. This amendment, executed on May 9, 2024, implements a rate increase to the contract's Rate Schedule (Attachment D, Version 3.5).

The amendment increases rates for 227 pay items covering petroleum restoration program services, including file reviews, site assessments, boring and sampling activities, well installation and maintenance, soil and water sample testing and analysis, excavation services, waste disposal and transportation, system installation and operations, pilot testing, remedial action planning, and professional services. Rate increases range from approximately 2.00% to 5.00%, with most items reflecting a 5.00% increase, consistent with the maximum allowable increase under contract provision 11.B.ii. The new rates are effective for work assignments offered on or after June 10, 2024 (the Rate Change Date), following the Department's data processing of the rate changes. All work assignments issued prior to the Rate Change Date continue to apply the previous rate schedule. The amendment does not modify any line items, scope of work, or other contract terms and conditions, which remain in full effect.
