FINANCIAL IMPACT
Approval of this item will not result in the use of Discretionary General Funding (Net County Cost). The San Bernardino County Flood Control District (District) is funded by property taxes, fees, and other local, state, and federal funding. The cost for vector control services with the West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District will be funded with property tax revenue. Sufficient appropriation and revenue will be included in the District’s future recommended budgets (1910002518-F01223).
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
Environmental Health Services (EHS), a division within the Department of Public Health (DPH), has been providing vector control services within the County since 1986 and has contracted with the District under a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to provide such services since 1988. Under the terms of the MOU, EHS monitors and conducts daily inspections within the District’s jurisdiction to control mosquito and other nuisance pests and provides pesticides, application tools and equipment, staffing, and other supplies necessary to provide vector control services in a safe and effective manner.
West Valley Mosquito and Vector Control District’s (WVMVCD) jurisdictional boundaries include areas on the west valley (Upland, Chino, Ontario) and portions of Rancho Cucamonga. A single vector control agency performing services in this area is more efficient, in terms of timing and cost. As such, the District and EHS desire for the District to contract with WVMVCD for vector control services for District facilities that are within WVMVCD boundaries.
The term of the proposed Memorandum of Understanding with WMMVCD is for five years, from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2026, for an annual amount of $120,000 and a not-to-exceed total amount of $600,000. Either party may terminate the Memorandum of Understanding with 30 days written notice to the other party.
PROCUREMENT
Not applicable.
