Date: May 26, 2014
Subject: Renewal and Modification of Contract #C13-2054-CA (RESTORE Act Management
Consulting Services)
Dear Mr Padgett,
Thank you for the opportunity to serve Okaloosa County as your RESTORE Act Management
Consultants. | am very encouraged by the progress we have made thus far and by the
outstanding relationship we have formed with the Okaloosa RESTORE Advisory Committee
(ORAC). | trust these factors are the primary reasons the County has opted to renew our
contract for a second term (July 2, 2015 — July 1, 2015).
As we discussed several times over the last few months, Matrix is excited about the opportunity
to expand our scope of services to the County to include additional areas related to the
RESTORE Act. Per our original contract, we included a clause that stated the following,
“Additional Services Not in Contract - Any services outside of this scope of work
or substantial changes to the effort based on direction from Okaloosa County
will require a revision in scope and fee.”
Based on your request, we agree to provide additional consulting services to support the
County’s efforts with National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) Gulf Environmental Benefit
Fund and the Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) process. Both NFWF and NRDA are
complementary to the RESTORE process and should be considered in a holistic sense when
developing a strategic restoration recovery plan.
The scope of services proposed is very similar to what Matrix is already providing the County
and will continue to provide the County in the approved second term. These services include:
- Internal and External Meeting Support for the County: this includes, but is not limited
to, attending meetings hosted by NFWF, NRDA, Gulf Consortium, Gulf Coast Ecosystem
Restoration Council, etc. The primary purpose of attending these meetings is to remain
current on all issues and advance the County’s requirements.
- Research, Data Collection, and Analysis: these services are to assist the County in
project feasibility analysis and professional recommendations in developing potential
projects for the County to pursue.
Date: May 26, 2014

- Grant Application Process: ultimately, the intent of this contract modification is to assist
the County in seeking additional grants in both the NFWF and NRDA processes.
Due to our established relationships, proven processes, and leveraging of efforts accomplished
during the first term of the contract, we feel these additional services can be provided for a
very reasonable rate.
Per your Contract / Lease Renewal Form (dated April 22, 2014), the County seeks to renew the
subject contract for an additional term; the budgeted amount is $147,436. Based on the
proposed additional scope of services captioned above, | respectfully request an adjustment of
this budget to $171,436 (an annual increase of just $24,000). Please note the original contract
included a 3% annual inflationary adjustment, which we are electing not to exercise (cost
avoidance of approximately $4,400 for the County).
As mentioned earlier, we greatly appreciate the opportunity to continue our outstanding
relationship with Okaloosa County and stand ready to discuss this contract renew at your
convenience. Please contact me at 850-333-3102 if you have any questions.
