This is a Task Assignment Notification Form for Contract PL263 between the Florida Natural Areas Inventory (FNAI)/Florida State University and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP). The assignment is managed by Gary Knight for FNAI/FSU and O. Greg Brock for FDEP, with oversight from the FDEP's Division of State Lands and the Acquisition and Restoration Council (ARC).

The task requires FNAI to conduct a preliminary review and evaluation of three Florida Forever proposals/projects and deliver a written evaluation summarizing the ecological resource values of each proposal based on FNAI database information and aerial photography analysis. The deliverable must include biological conservation priority, natural resource descriptions, tables of natural communities and rare species, Florida Forever Measures for each site, and report and aerial maps. The work is valued at $2,700 and must be completed at least two weeks prior to the August 17, 2012 ARC meeting. The three proposals under evaluation are Blue Head Ranch 2012 (40,564 acres in Highlands County at $900), Natural Bridge Creek (571 acres in Walton County at $900), and Pringle Creek Forest (8,645 acres in Flagler County at $900). No payment will be made for unsatisfactory deliverables, and any work exceeding $2,700 is at the contractor's sole discretion with no reimbursement obligation from the Department.
