RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Interim Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the California Department of Food and Agriculture to increase the reimbursement limit by $38,304 to a new payment limit of $754,220 to provide pest detection and trapping service for the period July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Increase the department's reimbursement by $38,304 for expenses incurred to a new not-to-exceed amount of $754,220. There is no county match.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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

The insects may include, but are not limited to the Mediterranean Fruit Fly, Mexican Fruit Fly, Melon Fly, Gypsy Moth, Japanese Beetle and Sian Citrus Psyllid. This list is not inclusive and may contain other invasive exotic pests as identified. This agreement includes delmiation work associated with the detection one or more life stages of target pests in the county.
