CONSENT AGENDA
BACKGROUND/SUMMARY:
The California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) through the Plant Health Division hosts the Pest Detection/Emergency Projects Branch (PD/EP). The branch is the early detection and prompt eradication of serious agricultural pests from California. This is accomplished through the operation of a statewide detection trapping program, special detection surveys, and the maintenance of emergency projects response teams.
The Branch administers the statewide detection trapping program through trapping contracts with 46 county departments of agriculture, including San Benito County. State personnel conduct trapping in Orange, San Francisco, Santa Barbara, Ventura, Riverside, Santa Clara, Marin, Mendocino, Yolo, and Yuba Counties. Functionally, Branch activities may be divided into the following four components: Managerial, Operations Center, Pest Detection, and Emergency Projects.
The primary objectives of the statewide pest detection system are to find insect pests before they infest one square mile and plant diseases before they exceed one-half of a square mile.
Insects targeted for detection by the statewide network of traps include exotic fruit flies (particularly species of Bactrocera, Dacus, Ceratitis, and Anastrepha), Japanese beetle, light brown apple moth, khapra beetle, gypsy moth, European corn borer, and European pine shoot moth.
On December 15, 2020 The Board of Supervisors approved agreement #20-0161 with the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA) to provide exotic insect pest detection trapping activities from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2022, Total contract value being $186,490.00. CDFA wishes to amend this contract to fund necessary additional costs for detection expenses. New iPads and accessories for each will be purchased for the detection staff. The additional funding will cover the cost of training, iPads and necessary equipment/service for the operation there of. The original term of the contract is unchanged; end date of June 30, 2022; and adds $14,630 for a new total not to exceed $201,120.
