Cooperative Service Agreement and Annual Financial Work Plan Between USDA, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services and Tuolumne County.

Tuolumne County has entered into a Cooperative Service Agreement with the USDA, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Wildlife Services, to conduct wildlife damage management activities across the county, with a primary focus on protecting flood control structures, agricultural levees, waterways, soil stability, crops, livestock, forests, and protected species. The agreement is supported by a Fiscal Year 2026/27 Annual Financial Work Plan with a total funding amount of $98,925.88, and authority has been delegated to the County Administrative Officer to approve all future annual financial plans under this agreement without requiring further approval. The performance location is Sonora, California, with all related work occurring within Tuolumne County. The project is administratively managed by Tuolumne County, with Roger Root serving as the primary point of contact and Taryn Vanderpan acting as the signing official. Payment processing is handled via the DFW 753.5a Cash Receipt Form, and funds may be received by cash, check, or credit. The agreement does not include detailed line-item pricing, CLINs, or traditional federal contract types, and no formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR roles are designated within the documentation. The project is classified under NAICS code 561710 and is governed by California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) categorical exemptions under Sections 15307 (Minor Alterations to Land) and 15308 (Reconstruction or Same-Site Replacement), with Section 15300.2 confirming no exceptions apply. No formal FAR clauses, DFARS provisions, packaging requirements, inspection criteria, or quality standards are included in the available materials. No Unique Entity ID, CAGE code, or federal socioeconomic certifications are provided, as Tuolumne County operates as a local public agency and not as a commercial contractor. The period of performance is implied to align with the federal fiscal year from October 1, 2026, to September 30, 2027, though explicit start and end dates are not stated. Submission of required environmental documentation, including the Notice of Exemption and CDFW No Effect Determination, was a condition of approval, with public notice issued on June 22, 2026, and a response deadline of June 18, 2026. No option years, extension terms, or future funding amounts beyond the first year are defined within the agreement.
