GACHINA LANDSCAPE MANAGEMENT INC. (#2027179)

Medians, Fire Stations & Main Street Landscape Project No: PWD 26.301 2-07 Pest and Disease Control The Contractor shall provide all required pest and disease controls, including rodent control. The Contractor must file a yearly schedule with the City for anticipated pest control work. This shall include herbicides, fungicides, plant growth regulators, insecticides, as well as fertilization schedules. Contractor shall apply the principles of the City of Pleasanton’s Integrated Pest Management Policy (IPM Policy) (Attachment VI) as part of a broader integrated pest management strategy that gives an emphasis to cultural practices as a means to pest and disease control. Prior to any chemical application by Contractor, the Contractor must submit to the City a completed form detailing the chemicals to be used, the means of application (high-pressure spray rig, backpack sprayer, etc.), quantities, area to be treated, and desired time of application. The City will respond to this submittal, if approved, with instructions as to the timing and precautions for the requested application. The contractor must provide Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for all chemicals proposed for use and obtain approval prior to their use. SDS sheets are to be updated annually. When using any chemical, special care must be exercised in the vicinity of homes, near standing water, and in windy conditions, etc. In some cases, it may be necessary to apply chemicals during off-hours or weekends. Particular care should be exercised to avoid applications at times or under conditions that would annoy or alarm homeowners. Pest control recommendation(s) must be available on-site during the application of pesticides. The Contractor is responsible for identifying all plant problems, selecting the treatment method, and applying control measures. Consult agricultural extension agents, testing laboratories, and other authorities as necessary for the identification of problems and the determination of appropriate measures to be taken. All products used must have a current pesticide recommendation by a licensed Pest Control Advisor (PCA). The company must have a staff member with a current Qualified Applicators License (QAL) to make or have supervision authority over the applicator. Effective January 1, 2025, neonicotinoid pesticide products used for non- agricultural uses on outdoor trees, turf, or ornamental plants can only be sold by licensed dealers and used by certified applicators. Apply all methods of pest and disease control in accordance with all governing regulations and with the requirements specified on the product label. The Contractor shall use the pesticide that has the least residual impact, which is effective for controlling a particular problem. Routine “preventive” use of pesticides is discouraged, as it destroys natural predator-prey relationships that are beneficial to the balance of the landscape ecosystem. Inform the City at least two working days in advance of the Contractor’s applying chemicals. Inspection of the application of the chemicals may be required by the City.
