Document Summary

This is a Task Assignment Change Order (Attachment B) for DEP Contract No. WM946, issued between the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) and URS Corporation. The change order modifies Task Assignment Number 5, which covers the Santa Fe Nutrient Fate and Transport Study involving monitoring well installation, surveying, and groundwater sampling across Gilchrist, Alachua, and Columbia Counties, Florida. The contract manager for FDEP is Richard Hicks, while the contractor's manager is Jeff Wagner. The project encompasses coordination with the Florida Geological Survey (FGS), site access negotiations, utility location, Health and Safety Plan (HASP) development, drilling services, land surveying, groundwater and surface water sampling, and report preparation.

The task assignment modification increases the total project cost from $208,436.61 to $252,153.13, representing a net increase of $43,716.52 due to additional drilling costs from unforeseen geologic conditions, added labor for drilling oversight and per diem costs, site access coordination, and time extensions caused by delays. The original task completion date of December 21, 2012 was extended by two months to February 22, 2013. The contract operates on a fixed-price basis under FDEP Contract WM946 between FDEP and URS Corporation Southern, dated October 3, 2008. The project includes five primary subtasks: site preparation and FGS coordination ($35,251.22), well installation and development ($172,843.81), horizontal and vertical well surveying ($11,748.22), groundwater and surface water sampling ($22,402.07), and final reporting ($10,107.82). All work is funded through Organization Code 37303010000 with project code WM946-4 I12.
