This document is an amendment to a state contract between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and Catlett & Company, Inc., specifically Amendment No. 1 to DEP Contract No. PL183. The contract is for statewide appraisal services, involving a contractor named Frank Catlett, who is a MAI and SRA certified appraiser. The amendment was executed on April 14, 2009, in response to 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 contract amendment focuses on revising the fee schedule for appraisal services, with hourly rates adjusted annually from 2008 to 2013: $150/hour in 2008, increasing to $155/hour in 2009, $160/hour in 2010-2011, and $165/hour in 2012-2013. The procurement method is identified as a Single/Sole Source procurement with an exemption for legal services. The contract is structured as a cost reimbursement agreement for professional appraisal services, with the primary objective of reducing contract rates in line with the state's cost-saving initiatives. All other terms of the original contract remain unchanged, with this amendment specifically replacing the original Attachment 3, Fee Schedule, with Attachment 3-1, Revised Fee Schedule.
