This document is Amendment No. 2 to a contract (DEP Contract No. GM150) between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and The LPA Group Incorporated. The amendment involves multiple engineering and consulting firms, including The LPA Group, Architectural Engineering Incorporated, Schappacher Engineering LLC, Malcolm Pirnie, Gorham Design Inc., Master Consulting Engineers Inc., and Professional Service Industries Inc. The contract is specifically related to professional services within the DEP's Bureau of Design and Construction.

The amendment extends the contract's renewal period from October 4, 2013 to October 4, 2016, and revises the contract's rate schedule (Attachment D) to Attachment D-1, which details labor categories and hourly rates for various professional roles across the participating firms. These rates include overhead, fringe benefits, and fees, with hourly rates ranging from $49.00 for technical assistants to $274.00 for principals. The amendment also adds language requiring the contractor to use the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's E-Verify system to confirm employment eligibility for new employees and subcontractors. The contract appears to be an indefinite delivery vehicle for environmental and engineering consulting services with flexible labor rate provisions.
