RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute a contract amendment with the California Department of Food and Agriculture effective July 1, 2015 to increase reimbursement by $16,599 for a new limit of $782,810 to provide pest detection service for the period July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016.

FISCAL IMPACT:

Amendment to 15-0289-1 Exotic Pest Detection Trapping Agreement will increase the department's reimbursement by $16,599 for expenses incurred, up to $782,810 for pest detection work performed on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) in Contra Costa County beginning July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2016 and for Asian citrus Psyllid (ACP) trapping beginning November 1, 2015 through January 31, 2016. The revenue from this agreement has been anticipated and in the departments FY15/16 budget. There is no county match of funds, nor does this involve grant money.

BACKGROUND:

The county shall provide services for placing 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, Japanese Beetle and Asian citrus psyllid. This list is not inclusive and may contain other invasive exotic pests as identified. This agreement includes delimitation work associated with the detection of one or more life stages of target pests in the county.

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.
