WORK AND FINANCIAL PLAN BETWEEN SAN DIEGO COUNTY AND UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE ANIMAL AND PLANT HEALTH INSPECTION SERVICE WILDLIFE SERVICES (APHIS

The contract between San Diego County and the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service Wildlife Services establishes a work and financial plan for the Integrated Wildlife Damage Management Program covering July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The project operates in the unincorporated areas of San Diego County, California, and relies entirely on the certified Environmental Impact Report and Environmental Checklist dated May 2024 (SCH 2020099012), with supporting CEQA Section 15162 findings from May 9, 2025, to satisfy environmental compliance obligations under the California Environmental Quality Act. No federal contract clauses from the Federal Acquisition Regulation are included or applicable, as this is a state-led interagency arrangement governed by California law, including the Fish and Game Code and Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations. Performance is focused on implementing wildlife damage management activities consistent with the approved EIR, with no detailed pricing, line items, or cost estimates provided in the documentation, suggesting funding flows through non-competitive interagency agreements rather than formal federal procurement mechanisms. The County of San Diego acts as the lead agency responsible for environmental approvals, inspections, and acceptance, with formal notices such as the Notice of Determination filed with both the County and the State Clearinghouse. Financial remittances for environmental filing fees are processed through the California Department of Fish and Wildlife’s Accounting Services Branch using manual payments via cash, check, or credit card, with no use of federal invoicing systems like WAWF or IPP. Key personnel include Thomas Duffy, Land Use Planning Manager, as the primary point of contact, and other local and state staff who support coordination and compliance. The contract requires ongoing monthly reporting to CDFW, retention of documentation for at least 12 months, and adherence to specific filing procedures for Notices of Exemption and Determination. No special contract requirements related to security, key personnel, options, or organizational conflicts exist, and there are no socioeconomic certifications or UEI/CAGE codes referenced. The entire structure is administrative and environmental in nature, with no standard procurement elements such as CLINs, evaluation factors, or packaging specifications included.
