RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute a contract with the California Department of Food and Agriculture to pay the County an amount not to exceed $9,628 to place and service traps for the detection of the European Grapevine Moth from January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This contract reimburses the Agriculture Department for costs incurred for the implementation of the European Grapevine Moth Program, in an amount not to exceed $9,628. There is no county match of funds.

BACKGROUND:

The County Department of Agriculture will provide all trapping materials, training of trappers, and deploy appropriate traps and service them at regular intervals according to the Insect Trapping Guide provided by CDFA. If European Grapevine Moth (EGVM) are detected it will be delimited and controlled/eradicated. Costs will be reimbursed by CDFA. EGVM and it's vectors are a clear and present danger to Contra Costa County's agriculture.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Failure to approve this contract will result in lost revenue for the Department and a possible threat to the agricultural grape industry in Contra Costa County.
