RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or his designee, to sign an amendment to Agreement #10-0220 "Exotic Pest Detection" with the Department of Food and Agriculture. This amendment will increase reimbursement to the County by $263,377.00 for a new total amount not to exceed $795,905.00. The amendment is necessary for placing and servicing of additional traps.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract provides reimbursement for County expense incurred during this period for pest detection work performed on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture in Contra Costa County.

BACKGROUND:

The County Department of Agriculture deploys traps countywide to detect incipient infestations of exotic pests such as Medfly, Gypsy Moth, Japanese Beetle, etc. The State reimburses the county for all costs that exceed our historic level of trapping.
