RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute an agreement with the California Department of Food and Agriculture to receive reimbursement in an amount not to exceed $1,680,956 to provide pest detection and trapping services for the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022.  

FISCAL IMPACT:

Agreement will reimburse the County for expenses incurred in an amount not to exceed $1,680,956 during the period July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022 for pest detection and trapping services performed on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture in Contra Costa County. This revenue has been budgeted in FY 20/21 and will be budgeted for FY 21/22. There is no county match of funds.









BACKGROUND:

The county shall provide for the placement and servicing of traps for the detection of exotic insect pests, which are considered hazardous to agriculture and the economy of California. The insects may include, but are not limited to: the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Mexican Fruit Fly, Oriental Fruit Fly, Melon Fly, Gypsy Moth and Japanese Beetle. This agreement includes delimitation work associated with the detection of one or more life stages of target pests in the County, which involves placement of additional traps around the detected pest(s) to determine the severity of the infestation. The services shall be performed between July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022. This agreement includes an indemnification provision, which obligates the County to indemnify and defend the State for claims or losses arising out of the performance of this agreement.   

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action would result in the loss of revenue to the county and possible threat to our local agriculture and residents of Contra Costa County.
