This document is a contract amendment between the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection and Atkins North America, Inc., extending an existing contract (DEP Contract No. GM153) for professional services related to the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway project. The amendment is specifically Amendment No. 1, which renews the contract and extends its completion date from August 3, 2014 to August 3, 2017.

The contract involves professional services for designing improvements on the Marjorie Harris Carr Cross Florida Greenway. The renewal is part of a broader state legislative effort to review contract renewals and reduce costs, with a goal of achieving a 3% reduction in contract payments. Atkins North America notes that they have an ongoing work order executed with 2010 rates, and while they have not requested a rate increase, salary costs have increased over the past three years. The contract maintains the existing scope of work, with Atkins committed to continuing cost efficiency efforts on both the Santos and Withlacoochee projects.
