This document is a contract amendment between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Schlemmer Appraisal Services, Inc., specifically Amendment No. 1 to DEP Contract No. PL152. The amendment involves a statewide appraisal services contract, triggered by Senate Bill 44-A, which required state agencies to review and renegotiate existing contracts with private and public-private providers to reduce contract payments.

The amendment modifies the original contract's fee schedule, updating the hourly rates for appraisal services from 2008 to 2013. The rates are adjusted annually, starting at $105/hour in 2008, decreasing to $95/hour in 2009 and 2010, then incrementally increasing to $110/hour by 2013. The contract is for professional appraisal services, procured through a single/sole source method with an exemption for legal services. The payment method is cost reimbursement, and the contract is part of the Department of Environmental Protection's efforts to optimize contract costs while maintaining service quality.
