I. STATEMENT OF WORK

A. SCOPE

East Bay Municipal Utility District (District) is a publicly owned utility formed under the

Municipal Utility District Act established in 1921. The District provides drinking water to

approximately 1.5 million customers within Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, in

addition to providing wastewater treatment to about 740,000 of its Alameda County

customers. The majority of the District’s facilities are located within the Alameda and

Contra Costa Counties, with a small subset in Amador, Calaveras, Sacramento and San

Joaquin Counties.

It is the intent of these specifications, terms, and conditions to describe the services

required to support the District’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) program. The

District has an IPM Program that staff operate under to consistently determine

appropriate control methods based on the pest and site-specific conditions while

minimizing impacts to human health, the environment, and non-target organisms. The

District uses site-specific control methods outlined in our IPM program guidelines, which

can include biological, physical, cultural, and chemical techniques.

The District utilizes pest control management practices within much of its 320 facilities,

57,000 acres of East Bay and Mokelumne watershed lands, and in recreation areas,

rights-of-way, facility grounds, offices, and other areas located throughout the District.

These practices are used by several departments for weed abatement, fire suppression,

vector control, and habitat protection and restoration. The District has approximately

400 IPM sites throughout the aforementioned areas, most of which are located in the

East Bay. IPM tasks at the District’s properties are managed by a diverse team of staff

from multiple workgroups. The District is committed to using environmentally safe

practices for pest control to ensure the protection of the public and District employees,

potable water sources, other aquatic resources, and public and private property.

The District intends to award a three-year contract (with two options to renew for one

year terms) to the Proposer(s) who best meets the District’s requirements.
