Summary

This is Amendment No. 2 to DEP Contract No. GC914, executed on January 1, 2019, between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (Department) and the Leon County Board of County Commissioners (Contractor). The amendment modifies the original contract executed on June 27, 2017, and previously amended on July 24, 2018. The contract pertains to compliance inspections performed within the jurisdictional boundaries of Leon, Gadsden, Jefferson, and Wakulla Counties in Florida.

The amendment clarifies and modifies several key contract provisions. The total compensation structure remains on a combination fee-schedule and cost-reimbursement basis not to exceed $1,253,854.00, which includes Department training and travel costs not exceeding $8,000. The Contractor receives fee-schedule compensation for monthly operation, maintenance, repair, and emergency service calls, with equipment purchases of $1,000 or more reimbursed on a cost-reimbursement basis requiring pre-approval. Travel costs associated with inspection site visits are included in the fee schedule, while travel and training expenses for meetings and regulatory guidance sessions are reimbursed on a cost-reimbursement basis in accordance with Florida Statutes Section 112.061 and the Department of Financial Services Reference Guide. The amendment also deletes references to MyFloridaMarketPlace transaction fees and updates the Scope of Work for Storage Tank System Compliance Assistance to clarify the Department's responsibility to reimburse the Contractor for training and program management changes necessary to meet Environmental Specialist I level or higher qualifications, with all travel reimbursements subject to pre-approval by the Department.
