Modification to Task Order #2023-ACT-02
For the Removal of Derelict Vessel/s and/or Marine Debris
Date: December 8, 2023
A modification to Task Order#2023-ACT-02 has been requested by A-C-T Environmental& Infrastructure("ACT") and
agreed to by Monroe County upon the determination that the derelict vessel associated with FWC230N0016826 was of
greater size than originally indicated and the removal of the sailboat in Man of War Harbor on the east side of Pearl Bank
could not be completed at the bidded removal cost of $13,781.61 without creating environmental impacts and would
therefore not be in compliance with federal,state, and local statutes, ordinances,rules, and regulations.

sailboat associated with FWC230N0016826 from the Task Order and continue with the removal of the remaining two(2)
derelict vessels.
