This document is a Task Assignment Notification Form for a contract between the University of Florida and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP), specifically Contract No. WQ012. The project involves technical support for the TCAA (Tri-County Agricultural Area) Cost Share Program, focusing on procuring and installing environmental monitoring equipment at four farms: Sykes & Cooper Farm, Picolata Farm, Riverdale Farm, and Tater Farms. The primary investigator is Mark Clark from the Soil and Water Science Department, and the project is part of a water management partnership.

The total task assignment value is $87,382.39, which includes $9,506.20 in labor, $1,257.13 in vehicle costs, and $68,675.21 for equipment and materials. The project involves installing various water monitoring stations at different farm locations, including surface water and ground water monitoring equipment. Specific installations include Flow-Siren wireless flow loggers, dual wave Doppler AV sensors, submersible temperature probes, and associated platforms and hardware. The monitoring stations will track irrigation methods such as seepage irrigation, subsurface drip irrigation, and overhead irrigation, with the goal of comparing water usage and environmental impacts across different irrigation practices.
