Background:
Alachua County has enjoyed a long and mutually beneficial relationship with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP) extending back to the 1980’s to provide petroleum contamination site cleanup management services. From the 1980’s through 2014, contracts with FDEP limited the service area to facilities within Alachua County. As a result of the long period of service and the quality of service provided, beginning in 2015 the FDEP approached Alachua County on several occasions with offers to expand the program’s service area and subsequently increase revenues. On each occasion, Alachua County has agreed to take on the additional work, further strengthening our relationship with the FDEP. At the present time, Alachua County provides petroleum contamination cleanup management services in a 10-county service area.
FDEP Contract No GC888 is a 5-year contract between Alachua County and the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (FDEP), effective 7/1/2016 through 6/30/2021, to provide petroleum contamination site cleanup site management activities on behalf of the FDEP. The contract is renewable for a period of five years. Funding, service area(s), site assignments, and scope of work activities are defined and authorized through Task Assignments which are issued annually by FDEP. Program contracts and associated amendments are presented to the BoCC for approval; annual task assignments and related amendments are approved by the County’s Petroleum Programs Manager.
