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 March 26, 2019 to increase the payment limit by $90,553 for a new contract amount of $102,628, to perform pest exclusion and high-risk inspection and enforcement activities.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will increase the Department's reimbursement by $90,553 for expenses incurred, for a new contract limit of $102,628. There is no county match of funds.

BACKGROUND:

Agreement #18-0029 Pest Exclusion sets activity levels that are designed for Contra Costa County based on historical workloads and costs on a negotiated work plan to maintain optimal services. The original agreement did not cover the entire cost of high-risk activities in the County, so the amendment with additional funds will improve the service level in regards to enforcement of quarantines that are designed to keep exotic and invasive pests out of California and Contra Costa County.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

A negative action would result in loss of additional revenue to the Department and increased costs to support the inspections and enforcement activities as mandated by the California Department of Food and Agriculture.
