Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
A. Goals
An integrated pest management program shall be implemented to:
1. Maintain healthy, attractive plants, maximize resistance to pests and outcompete weeds;
2. Monitor for presence of pests and to evaluate pest impact to plant health and appearance, and nuisance to the public;
3. Provide control treatments that have minimal negative effects on all but the pest and that protect air and water quality.
Contractor shall assume pesticides are potentially hazardous to human and environmental health. Preference shall be given to reasonably available nonpesticide alternatives when considering the use of pesticides on City property.
B. Insects and diseases
1. Key plant and key pests
Contractor shall identify primary plant species and cultivars in the landscape (key plants) and the pests that commonly cause significant harm to plant health or appearance (key pests).
2. Monitoring
Contractor shall monitor landscape areas to identify presence of beneficial insects and pests, determine populations, life stage, and degree of damage to plants. Key plants and key pests will be monitored closely during normal periods of pest activity. This information will be the basis on which pest control methods are initiated. Records of monitoring activity shall be kept.
3. Controls
Bay-Friendly Landscaping seeks to control pests without harming non-target organisms, or negatively affecting air and water quality and public health. It relies on IPM which uses a range of cultural, mechanical, physical, and biological control methods before using pesticides. Chemical controls are applied only when monitoring indicates that preventative and non-chemical methods are not keeping pests below acceptable levels. When pesticides are required, the least toxic and the least persistent pesticide that will provide adequate pest control is applied. Pesticides are not applied on a prescheduled basis. a. Cultural/Mechanical/physical methods. A number of maintenance practices or modifications of them can make the environment unfavorable for pest reproduction, movement, or survival. Often simply modifying an existing DocuSign Envelope ID: 762412AA-BB92-48FD-8790-EB74D9B60DA6 Exhibit A-2 Continued

maintenance practice, such as timing of pruning or fertilization, can produce positive results,. Other mechanical or physical practices may specifically combat plant pests or increase host resistance. Key treatments include:
1) Fostering a healthy soil, judicious fertilization only when needed, and managing irrigation appropriately.
2) Pruning to remove infected or infested branches and shoots. Time pruning to avoid periods of insect infestation. For example prune pines and eucalyptus in the winter (December-February) when bark beetles and borers are inactive.
3) Removing fallen twigs, leaves, and fruit that contains disease inoculum. 4) Mulching soil surface to reduce weeds and to reduce splashing and the drops of mud that would protect spores deposited on plant surfaces. 5) Trapping insects using sticky surfaces (also used for monitoring).
Mechanical traps can be used to control rodents.
6) Bringing to attention of City plants that are disease or insect prone and suggesting resistant plant replacements or those better suited to the site and microclimate
b. Biological methods
Biological controls are pesticides of natural origin that have limited or no adverse effects on the environment or beneficial organisms. Determining the effective biological control and proper timing of application are critical to success in pest control.
The Contractor shall consider the following biological control methods when cultural/mechanical/physical methods are not adequate to lower pest populations to the target level.
1) Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)
2) Parasitic nematodes
3) Pheromone traps
4) Beneficial insect release and conservation
c. Pesticides
The term pesticide applies to insecticides, fungicides and other substances used to control pests. Antimicrobial agents are not included in this definition of pesticides.
1) Least toxic pesticides
When cultural, mechanical, physical and biological controls have provided inadequate pest control, the Contractor may select and apply an appropriate least-toxic pesticide as a last resort. Least-toxic pesticides have a high LD-50, low residual, and narrow range of toxicity. Application must be timed to the appropriate life stage of the pest.
Examples are:
a. insecticidal soaps,
b. horticultural oils,
c. herbicidal soaps,
DocuSign Envelope ID: 762412AA-BB92-48FD-8790-EB74D9B60DA6 Exhibit A-2 Continued

d. neem,
e. Pyriproxyfen insect growth regulator (e.g. Distance IGR) 2) Restricted chemicals
Organophosphate-containing pesticides have been found to persist in the environment and cause water quality impairment of some creeks, streams, and arroyos in Alameda County. They are restricted from use. Examples include:
a. diazinon, trade names Spectracide®, Knox-out® and
b. chlorpyrifos, trade names Dursban®, Pageant®)
c. malathion and carbaryl (trade name Sevin®)
Water quality agencies recommend against using pyrethroids and pyrethrins containing piperonyl butoxide (PBO). These chemicals are restricted from use.
Pyrethrins are toxic to birds, fish, and beneficial insects, should be used only as a last resort, and carefully applied to avoid runoff and contact with non-target plants.
Contractor shall not apply any Toxicity Category I or II Pesticide Product, any pesticide containing a chemical identified by the State of California as a chemical known to the State to cause cancer or reproductive toxicity pursuant to the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986, and any pesticide classified as a human carcinogen, probable human carcinogen or possible human carcinogen by the United States Environmental Protection City, Office of Prevention, Pesticides and Toxic Substances.
Neonicotinoids are prohibited from use as part of this contract. 3) All chemical applications shall be performed by a licensed, trained technician. Contractor must be a licensed Pest Control Operator as required by the State of California, registered in Alameda Co., and strictly adhere to all laws.
4. Notice of pesticide use
a. Signs shall be posted at least three days before application of the pesticide product and remain posted at least four days after application of the pesticide. 1) Signs shall be posted (i) at every entry point where the pesticide is applied if the pesticide is applied in an enclosed area, and (ii) in highly visible locations around the perimeter of the area where the pesticide is applied if the pesticide is applied in an open area.
2) Signs shall be of a standardized design that are easily recognizable to the public and workers.
3) Signs shall contain the name and active ingredient of the pesticide product, the target pest, the date of pesticide use, the signal word indicating the toxicity category of the pesticide product, the date for reentry to the area treated, and the name and contact number for the City department responsible for the application.

b. Contractor shall not be required to post signs in right-of-way locations that the general public does not use for recreational purposes. However, Contractor shall notify City in writing three days prior to pesticide applications in the rightof-way areas. c. Contractor may obtain authorization from the City to apply a pesticide without providing a three-day advance notification in the event of a public health emergency or to comply with worker safety requirements. Signs shall be posted for at least four days after application of the pesticide, as described in the Section above, 3.5.B.4.a., Notice of Pesticide Use
5. Recordkeeping and reporting
a. Contractor shall maintain records of all pest management activities. Each record shall include the following information:
1) target pest;
2) type and quantity of pesticide used;
3) site of the pesticide application;
4) date the pesticide was used;
5) name of the pesticide applicator;
6) application equipment used;
7) prevention and other non-chemical methods of control used. b. Contractor shall submit the pest management record to City on a monthly basis.
C. Weed management
1. Landscapes shall be maintained in a healthy and attractive manner using BayFriendly methods.
2. Identify key weeds
Contractor will identify key weeds present and design weed manage program to target those species.
3. Invasive plants
Invasive plant species may have been included in the plantings inadvertently.
Seedlings and/or suckers from those plants shall be removed by the Contractor.
Refer to www.bayfriendly.org or www.cal-ipc.org for a list of invasive species.
Remove all invasive plants not planted intentionally as noted in the Section below, 3.5.C.4, Controls. When invasive plants are an intended part of the landscape please notify City and propose a replacement option.
4. Controls
a. Cultural/Mechanical/physical methods will be used as the first choice in weed management.
1) Monitor planting areas frequently to identify and eradicate weeds early in the growth stage prior to their setting seed.
2) Cut or pull weeds using hand operated equipment where possible. 3) Mow large areas to reduce weed growth, and eliminate species that are not tolerant of mowing. Mowing is especially effective when done prior to seed set. Mowing also reduces fire hazard in open spaces.

4) Goats may be used to manage weed growth, where appropriate. Goats must be well managed and plants fenced to avoid damage to non-target plants.
5) Mulches shall be maintained at all times over soil surface that is not covered by vegetation. (see also Section 3.3 E, Incorporate Organic Soil Amedments)
6) Sheet mulching, a layered system of non-plastic weed barrier overlain by mulch, shall be employed where possible.
7) Propane-fueled flamers may be used in winter and spring with required permits and approval by the Fire Marshall to kill early-season, non-grass weeds by heating the cells until they burst. The weed quickly wilts and dies.
b. Least toxic herbicides may be employed by Contractor as a last resort.
Examples are:
1) Fatty acid potassium salts (herbicidal soaps e.g. Safer's Superfast Weed and Grass Killer® Dr. Bronner’s Peppermint Anti-Bacterial Soap)1 2) Acetic and citric acids (e.g. Nature’s Glory Weed and Grass Killer RTU®) 3) Clove, citrus, mint and thyme oil (e.g. Matran II®, Xpress®) 4) Corn gluten

1) Atrazine (Aatrex)
2) Simazine (Princep)
3) Bromacil (Hyvar, Krovar)
4) Prometon (Pramitol)
5) Bentazon (Basagran)
6) Norflurazon (Solicam, Predict, Zorial)
d. Restricted herbicides that may not be used because they have been identified as a compost contaminant are:
1) Picloram
2) Clopyralid
D. Vertebrate pests
