Exhibit A - Sample Task Assignment Agreement for Professional Services AG-C-21 0 Page 1 of 1 . EXHIBIT B PROPOSED EDEN SERVICES Eden Advanced Pest Technologies (EDEN) will provide mosquito larval surv.~illance to provide an overview of mosquito breeding activity. Selection of larval monitoring sites will be determined in location and number so as to give an adequate assessment of emerging mosquito populations, especially mosquito species that are known vectors of West Nile virus. Larval collections will be accomplished by "dipping". Surveillance data will be updated in a timely manner. Adult mosquito monitoring will be performed in areas where larval collection will not be effective or in areas where tracking adult mosquito populations is deemed nE~cessary. Adult monitoring will be done with CDC light traps and by observing landing c:ounts. All surveillance will be performed in coordination with local authorities. SurvE!illance activities will be conducted monthly, May through October (more surveillance may be needed during period of warm wet weather depending on activity). Surveillance services will be performed at a cost of $1,750 per month or $10,500 for the season for 23 ponds. If predetermined thresholds of mosquito larvae are reached, the application of larvicides will be made to key breeding sites. Methoprene will be the material of choicE~, however, all materials will be approved by the local authority. Larvicide applications will be performed in conjunction with the surveillance described above at an additional cost of $1,748 per month prorated per pond or $10,488 for the season based upon :~3 ponds. Surveillance and larval treatments for additional ponds can be added to this agreement for $150 per month for ponds up to one acre (add $50 per pond for each additional acre of surface area). If it is deemed necessary to treat storm drain catch basins, applications of m.~thoprene pellets at 10 gram per catch basin will be made. Labor costs will be an additional $150 an hour to apply methoprene pellets. If approved by local authority, XR Brick:ets at a cost of $2.66 per catch basin, for a 150 day effective treatment, will be used instead of the 30 day methoprene pellets treatment. Labor costs to apply will be $150 per hour. Local authority will specify number and grids to be treated. Localized applications for adult mosquitoes can be performed as deemed neœssary by local authorities. Applications will be made with ULV backpack apparatus using approved materials to quickly knock down adult populations. Adulticide applications will be performed at a cost of $285 per hour (one hour minimum), including chemical costs. Applications will be performed by a Certified Commercial Operator. Exhibit B - Proposed Eden Services Agreement for Professional Services AG-C-21 0 Page 1 of 4 . Eden Advanced Pest Management will conduct ground based ULV applications in order to suppress adult mosquitoes. These treatments will be conducted to protect man and domestic animals from harassment and diseases that mosquitoes can carry. These services are part of an Integrated Mosquito Management program and compliment the other efforts being performed to reduce the spread of West Nile Virus. Ground based UL V treatments will be conducted in coordination with the City and will be part of a larger Integrated Mosquito Management program. Applications will be made with the ElectraMist EM-4000. This is the state of the industry electril: UL V application unity, which permits the tracking of routes, treated with a GPS based unity. All information on treatments will be kept in a database and these records will be sent to the contracting authority after each application cycle is completed (one weekly). Adulticiding services will be performed at a cost of $46.00 per street mile, including chemical costs. Treatment grids and specific street routes will be determim!d and agreed upon prior to application. All applicable provisions and specifications of this proposal will be agreed upon by both parties before any applications of adulticides are made. All applications will be made in accordance to Federal, State and local laws governing the proper use of adulticides for mosquito control. This will be done to protect the interests of both parties and provide a concise format for conducting applications of adulticides to control adult mosquitoes. In order to conduct these operations in the correct manner Eden Advanced PE!st Technologies will follow Best Management Practices (BMP's) approved by the Washington State Department of Agriculture. These BMP's were issued to guard against the inappropriate use of adulticides and to provide a margin of safely while using these products to suppress adult mosquitoes. In the event of a wide area public health emergency caused by West Nile Virus or another disease transmitted by mosquitoes, it may be necessary to expand coverage in certain areas by making aerial applications. These types of services are not offered by Eden Advanced Pest Technologies. EDEN Responsibility 1. Ground based UL V application systems 2. Calibration of equipment and swath width checks 3.
