OBJECTIVES/GOALS
APHIS-WS objective is to provide professional wildlife damage management assistance to reduce or manage damage caused by striped skunks, feral cats, raccoons, common ravens, American crows and others to protect the Federally Listed California Least Tern and other California State Listed threatened or endangered species. Specific goals are:
1. To provide direct assistance for Cooperator from wildlife conflicts or damage.
2. To provide direct assistance in the form of educational information.
3. To remove predators and to conduct predator surveys to protect the Federally Listed California Least Tern and other California State Listed threatened or endangered species within areas operated by the City of Alameda at the Alameda Point site, Alameda County, California.
4. To act in accordance with the Alameda Point Predator Management Plan.
PLAN OF ACTION
The objectives of the wildlife damage management program will be accomplished in the following manner.
1. APHIS-WS will provide technical assistance and or direct management at times and locations for where it is determined there is a need to resolve problems caused by wildlife. Management efforts will be directed towards specific offending individuals or local groups of animals. Method selection will be based on an evaluation of selectivity, humaneness, human safety, effectiveness, legality, and practicality.
Technical Assistance: APHIS-WS’ personnel may provide verbal or written advice, recommendations, information, demonstrations, or training to use in managing wildlife damage problems. Generally, implementation of technical assistance recommendations is the responsibility of the resource/property owner.
Direct Management: Direct management is usually provided when the resource/property owner’s efforts have proven ineffective and or technical assistance alone is inadequate. Direct management methods/techniques may include trap equipment, shooting, and other methods as mutually agreed upon.
2. APHIS-WS District Supervisor Brian Popper, California District 4, will supervise this project, (209) 985-9114. This project will be monitored by Jeffrey B. Flores, WS-California State Director, in Sacramento, California, (916) 979-2675.
3. APHIS-WS will invoice Cooperator monthly for actual costs incurred in providing service, provided there are billable expenses posted at the time of billing for the month of service. The combined month billings for the performance period in this Work and Financial Plan will not exceed $30,000.00 for the period of performance (10/1/2025 – 9/30/2026), $30,000.00 for the period of performance (10/1/2026 – 9/30/2027), $30,000.00 for the period of performance (10/1/2027 – 9/30/2028), $30,000.00 for the period of performance (10/1/2028– 9/30/2029). In some cases, the work is done during the period of performance, but expenses post outside of the agreement end date, resulting in a final invoice one month after the period of performance has ended.

2 4. In accordance with the Debt Collection Improvement Act (DCIA) of 1996, bills issued by APHIS-WS are due and payable within 30 days of the invoice date. The DCIA requires that all debts older than 120 days be forwarded to debt collection centers or commercial collection agencies for more aggressive action.
