RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Agricultural Commissioner, or designee, to execute an agreement amendment with the California Department of Food and Agriculture to increase the amount payable to the County by $38,841 to a new payment limit not to exceed $1,719,797 for continued Cal-Traps services, with no change to the term July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022.

FISCAL IMPACT:

This amendment will increase the original amount of the agreement by $38,841 for a new total not to exceed $1,719,797 for the continuation of Cal-Trap services by the Department on behalf of the California Department of Food and Agriculture. 100% State revenue. There is no County match of funds.

BACKGROUND:

Under the original agreement the County shall provide for the placement 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 and Japanese Beetle.

BACKGROUND: (CONT'D)

This agreement includes delimitation work associated with the detection of one or more life stages of target pests in the County, which involves placement of additional traps around the detected pest(s) to determine the severity of the infestation. The services shall be performed between July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022. This agreement includes an indemnification provision, which obligates the County to indemnify and defend the State for claims or losses arising out of the performance of this agreement.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

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