Exhibit 10.23
STATE OF ILLINOIS
ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY
AMENDMENT NUMBER 3 TO
AGENCY SERVICE AGREEMENT
In consideration of the execution of the Professional Services Agreement
Number VI-8302, executed May 19, 1997 (hereinafter, "Enhanced I/M Agreement"),
between the Illinois Environmental Protection Agency (hereinafter, "Agency") and
Envirotest Illinois, Inc. (hereinafter, "Contractor"), whose address is 000
Xxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, the parties hereto further agree as follows:
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, the Agency and the Contractor entered into the Enhanced I/M
Agreement hereinabove described, pursuant to which the Agency engaged the
Contractor to perform services in connection with the Illinois Vehicle Emissions
Inspection Law of 1995;
WHEREAS, the Enhanced I/M Agreement incorporates the Scope of Services for
the Extension of the Vehicle Emission Test Program, dated October 31, 1990
(hereinafter, "Scope"), the License Agreement, dated October 31, 1990, the
Contractor's Technical Proposal, dated September 21, 1990, and each of seven (7)
Amendments subsequently entered into pursuant to the terms of the Agreement
(collectively contained in Appendix 10.20 of the Enhanced I/M Agreement, and
hereinafter referred to as the "Basic I/M Agreement");
WHEREAS, currently, owners of vehicles subject to the program receive a
two-year new vehicle model year exemption and are therefore initially notified
of the requirement for emissions testing beginning in the second year after the
vehicle's model year and thereafter are notified and tested biennially;
WHEREAS, P.A. 90-475 grants the Agency a degree of discretion within
defined limits to choose the year that a new model year vehicle is initially
notified to begin its biennial emissions testing cycle;
WHEREAS, the Agency has elected, and the Contractor agrees, that the
current two-year new model vehicle exemption be extended to a four-year new
model vehicle exemption beginning either January 1, 1998, or the date of
execution of this amendment, whichever date is later, and continue through the
period of the Start-Up Phase;
WHEREAS, the current Reimbursable Test Fee formula is based, in part, on a
higher volume of tests than will exist when the initial notification schedule is
modified to accommodate the change from a two-year new model vehicle exemption
to a four-year new model vehicle exemption, and the parties recognize that the
formula requires modification to take into account the effects of this change to
the operating cost;
WHEREAS, to reflect the further understandings and agreement of the Agency
and the Contractor, the Agency and the Contractor have determined it to be in
their best interests to enter into this Amendment Number 3 to the Enhanced I/M
Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. No later than November 19, 1997, the Contractor shall implement all
software changes necessary to prevent the scheduling and assignment for
testing of vehicles subject to the four-year new model vehicle exemption.
This includes, but is not limited to, modification to the ZIPSCAN report
generation program to update the definition of "eligible unassigned
vehicles," and the modification of the MAILING program to limit the
selection of vehicles for initial assignment and mailing to vehicles of
model year equal to, or less than, the assigned date year minus four, with
the exception for noncomplying vehicles registered to new owner(s). After
January 1, 1998, or the execution date of this amendment, whichever date is
later, the Contractor shall not receive reimbursement for tests performed
on vehicles subject to the four-year new model vehicle exemption, unless
specifically assigned by the Agency, or assigned for testing prior to
January 1, 1998, or the execution date of this amendment, whichever date
is later.
2. The "Reimbursable Test Fee" formula contained in the Basic I/M Agreement at
Section 8.2.2. of the Scope of Services (as amended by Paragraph 13 of
Amendment 6 to the Basic I/M Agreement), shall be amended as described
below, and shall apply ONLY to reimbursable tests posted to the transaction
database between either January 1, 1998, or the execution date of this
contract amendment, whichever date is later, and the end of the Start-Up
Phase:
F1 = (F X V) + [0.1 X B X (T - V)]
