This document is a contract amendment (Amendment No. 1) between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and M. R. Ford & Associates, Inc., a professional appraisal services firm. The amendment is associated with DEP Contract No. PL141 and was executed on February 11, 2008, in response to Senate Bill 44-A, which required state agencies to review and potentially renegotiate existing contracts with private providers.

The amendment specifically revises the fee schedule for statewide appraisal services, updating the hourly rates for the contractor from 2008 through 2013. The hourly rates are progressively increased each year: $175/hour in 2008, rising to $225/hour by 2013. The contract is structured as a cost reimbursement agreement for professional appraisal services, procured through a sole source method with an exemption for legal services. The amendment replaces the original Attachment 3, Fee Schedule, with a new Attachment 3-1, Revised Fee Schedule, while maintaining all other terms of the original contract in full force and effect.
