RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute an amendment to the Pest Detection Agreement #18-0207 with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) effective April 9, 2019, to increase the payment limit by $174,697 for new payment limit of $978,837 with no change to the term November 1, 2018 through April 30, 2019.

FISCAL IMPACT:

The amendment will increase the Department's reimbursement by $174,697 for expenses incurred, for a new contract limit of $978,837. There is no required County match.

BACKGROUND:

The County shall provide additional services for placing and servicing Asian Citrus Psyllid (ACP) and exotic pest detection traps. Additional services will also be provided for delimitation work associated with the detection of one or more life stages of the target pests in the County. To provide these increased service levels, additional funds will be allocated to personnel costs for increased staff time of seasonal workers.

Exotic insect pests are considered hazardous to agriculture and the economy of California. Payment will be reimbursed on authorized charges matching the financial plan, such as salaries, benefits, overhead supplies, vehicle mileage and vehicle leasing costs. These expenditures will be itemized on the monthly invoice with documentation to support the charges.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Negative action would result in a loss of revenue to the Department to prevent this potential pest threat to our local agriculture and residents of Contra Costa County.
