Meeting Date: January 28. 2009

Bulk Item: Yes --X- No
Department: Administration
Staff Contact PersonlPhone #: Beth Bergh (x 2511)
AGENDA ITEM WORDING:
Approval of a contract amendment to Contract PL-029 (now # 08150) to change the grantor from
Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) to Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation
Commission (FWC) and to modify the type of grant reimbursement allowed under the contract to
include "cost reimbursement".
ITEM BACKGROUND:
In 2004, Monroe County was awarded a 10 year contract with FDEP that allows the County to receive
yearly grant funding from the Bureau of Invasive Plant Management (BIPM) for invasive exotic plant
removal on Monroe County conservation lands. The grant funding is issued each fiscal year as task
assignments under the contract. Currently, the contract only allows for grant reimbursement on a "fee
schedule" or "fixed price" basis. However, the "cost reimbursement" basis is the simplest and most
appropriate form of grant reimbursement for County projects. Additionally, the BIPM office has been
moved from FDEP to FWC. This contract amendment is to modify the existing contract to include
"cost reimbursement" as a basis for payment and to change the grantor from FDEP to the FWC. There
are no other proposed changes to the contract.
PREVIOUS RELEVANT BOCe ACTION:
February 18, 2004 - Approval of 10 year FDEP contract (pL-029) for funding to remove invasive
exotic plant species.
August 20, 2008 - Approval of a grant task assignment for FY 08-09 grant funding for invasive exotic
vegetation removal from Monroe County conservation lands.
CONTRACT/AGREEMENT CHANGES:
This contract amendment is to modify the existing contract to include "cost reimbursement" as a basis
for payment and to change the grantor from FDEP to the FWC. There are no other proposed changes
to the contract.
