RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) effective January 22, 2019, to increase the payment limit by $68,040 to a new payment limit of $804,140, to provide exotic pest detection trapping services and add winter Asian Citrus Psyllid trapping, for the period November 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will increase the Department's reimbursement by $68,040 for expenses incurred, for a new contract limit of $804,140. There is no county match required.

BACKGROUND:

The county shall provide additional services for placing and servicing Asian Citrus Psyllid traps for the period November 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019 in conjunction with exotic pest detection trapping services. This amendment incudes delimitation work associated with the detection of one or more life stages of target pests in the county. Exotic insect pests are considered hazardous to agriculture and the economy of California. Payment will be reimbursed on authorized charges matching the financial plan (salaries, benefits, overhead supplies, vehicle mileage and vehicle leasing costs). These expenditures must be itemized on the monthly invoice with documentation to support the charges.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative vote would result I loss of revenue to the department and possible threat to our local agriculture and residents of Contra Costa County.
