    1         Senate Amendment 
    2  
    3         Between lines 582 and 583
    4  insert:
    5         (n) In lieu of selecting a contractor by competitive
    6  procurement, the site owner or responsible party may select a
    7  contractor under the following conditions:
    8         1. For a site participating in the low-scored site
    9  initiative pursuant to paragraph (12)(b), the site owner or
   10  responsible party may select an agency term contractor,
   11  qualified contractor providing pricing terms and conditions
   12  negotiated on best terms with the department, or a qualified
   13  contractor using the informal quote process administered by the
   14  department.
   15         2. For a site whose owner or responsible party provides 25
   16  percent or more of the cleanup costs or for program tasks of
   17  which the cost of cleanup will exceed a program cap, the site
   18  owner or responsible party may select an agency term contractor.
   19         3. The site owner or responsible party may propose a
   20  grouping of at least 25 sites eligible for state restoration
   21  funding assistance to the department for purpose of entering
   22  into a contract for fixed-price, performance-based cleanup. The
   23  estimated cleanup cost for any such site must be less than the
   24  amount of state restoration funding assistance available for
   25  that site. The performance-based contract may be negotiated
   26  between the department and an agency term contractor designated
   27  by the site owner or responsible party.
   28         4. The site owner or responsible party may reject an agency
   29  term contractor before the assignment of work.
   30         (o) The Petroleum Restoration Cleanup program is exempt
   31  from the 1 percent requirement under the MyFloridaMarketPlace
   32  system.
   33  
   34  As used in this section, the term “site owner” or “responsible
   35  party” means the current real property owner or a party to a
   36  responsible party agreement with the current real property
   37  owner. If the person identified in the responsible party
   38  agreement is no longer the current real property owner, the
   39  current real property owner must notify the department that he
   40  or she concurs with the responsible party agreement or does not
   41  object to the responsible party agreement.
