Sec. B28-10. County contracts and easements.

(a) Except as provided in (i) below, when a department enters into a new contract (see Section B28-2(d)) or amends an existing contract to extend the term of the contract for more than six months beyond the current term and any optional extension periods, the contract shall require compliance with the provisions of this division including those relating to pesticide restrictions, record keeping, and reporting.

(1) The County Executive may grant an exemption for up to five years from contract compliance with all or part of the provisions of this division in the event compliance would negatively impact County revenues, prevent the highest and best use of an asset as determined by the County Executive, or where it is demonstrated that full compliance cannot be achieved. Notice of any exemption granted pursuant to this Subsection (1) shall be given to the applicant and to the IPM TAG. The notice shall state that any person dissatisfied with the decision of the County Executive may file an appeal with the Clerk of the Board within 15 calendar days of the date of the notice. The appeal will first be heard before the County's Housing, Land Use, Environment, and Transportation Committee, which Committee shall make a recommendation to the Board of Supervisors. The decision of the Board of Supervisors shall be final.

(b) A contractor, or department on behalf of a contractor, may apply for exemptions authorized under Section B28-5(b) and (c), and this Section B28-10.

(c) When a department enters into a new lease in which the County is occupying or using property not owned by the County (and thus not within the definition of contract in Section B28-2(d)), the County shall use reasonable efforts to negotiate the use of IPM practices as part of that lease.

(d) In current leases in which the County is occupying or using property not owned by the County, the County shall encourage the use of IPM practices whenever practical.

(e) When the County is granted an easement, the maintenance of the easement shall be in compliance with this division if consistent with the terms of the easement.

(f) A process, which incorporates a request for qualifications, shall be used in the selection of all contractors for pest management services and shall be in compliance with County contracting policies and state law. The County IPM Coordinator and the TAG may participate in the process. All contractors applying for pest management services shall submit a pest management plan, which outlines how they will comply with the IPM Ordinance. The plan shall give preference to prevention and other non-pesticide or least toxic methods of pest control.
