This document is a Task Assignment Change Order for the South Florida Canal Aquatic Life Study (SFCALS) project, involving the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and the University of Florida. The contract is under DEP Contract No. WM943, with Curtis D. Pollman, Ph.D. as the Contractor Contract Manager and Devan R. Cobb as the DEP Contract Manager. The change order is for Task Assignment No. 6, modifying the original task to obtain 3rd and 4th quarter data and complete statistical analysis of SFCALS year 1 data.

The change order increases the task amount from $35,283.00 to $71,611.00, representing a $36,328.00 increase. The task completion date is extended by 6 months, with the original completion date of 11/13/13 and the new completion date of 05/13/14. The project aims to develop a stressor identification model for South Florida canals, focusing on assessing aquatic life, determining interrelationships between canal variables, evaluating canal conditions, and collecting information to guide management decisions. The study involves sampling 39 SCI sites quarterly for biological composition, with a total of 117 sites sampled in Year 1 and a projected 468 sites by the end of the three-year study period.
