RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute a contract containing modified indemnification language in an amount not to exceed $18,000 from East Bay Regional Park District (District) to provide noxious weed control services in Wildcat Canyon Regional Park for the period January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This agreement will reimburse the Agriculture Department in an amount not to exceed $18,000 for noxious weed control services in East Bay Regional Park District parks. There is no County match of funds, nor grant monies involved.

BACKGROUND:

The Agriculture Department (Department) shall supply appropriate products to spray noxious weeds, as identified, with the use of backpack sprayers, all-terrain vehicles and/or boom truck sprayers to those East Bay Regional Park District (District) parks within the jurisdiction and operation of the Department. The noxious weed control services are limited to those locations where noxious weeds have been located, identified and pose a public, economic, environmental, or recreational nuisance. It is the responsibility of the Department to use products approved by the District's Integrated Pest Management Department and that their use is in compliance with all Federal and State laws and regulations governing pesticides. The performance or service of noxious weed control services will be within normal business hours. This agreement has an indemnification clause and is retroactive to January 1, 2017. Services will be provided within Wildcat Canyon Regional Park for the period January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2018.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

If not approved, the Department would have a loss of revenue and possible expansion of noxious weeds into Contra Costa County.
