Subject: Mosquito Abatement Services Agreement FY2025- 2026, 2026-2027, and 2027-2028 Dear Mr. Fabry,
Enclosed is the “Abatement Services Agreement” between our agencies for mosquito surveillance and control activities by the District for the wastewater treatment plant in San Mateo.
The “Abatement Services Agreement” is designed to address unique mosquito control issues that cannot be managed within the normal scope of this District’s programs. It should be clearly understood that the residents of San Mateo will continue to receive the same level of public health service as before, in addition to the extra services provided by this agreement. As part of an integrated mosquito control plan, District personnel will conduct surveillance using CO2-baited traps and other traditional mosquito sampling methods at your location. Surveillance data will be used to develop a tailored mosquito control strategy that may involve the application of pesticides. Any questions about the treatment program should be directed to Casey Stevenson, Operations Director.
This District operates in accordance with the statutory laws relating to mosquito abatement and pest abatement districts in California Health and Safety Code, Division 3, Chapter 1, Sections 2060 - 2910 inclusive. Please sign, date, and return the original copy of the “Abatement Services Agreement” to the San Mateo County Mosquito and Vector Control District as soon as possible.
Sincerely,
Brian Weber
District Manager

ABATEMENT SERVICES AGREEMENT
The SAN MATEO COUNTY MOSQUITO AND VECTOR CONTROL DISTRICT (“District”) and CITY OF SAN MATEO WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT (“Owner”) agree as follows:
1. The District will perform abatement services for the Owner’s problem site as described below. As reasonably necessary, the District will develop and implement mosquito surveillance and control activities with appropriate materials and equipment.
2. Problem site: Wastewater Treatment Plant at 2050 Detroit Dr, San Mateo.
3. Owner shall reimburse District at a rate of $93.23 per man-hour for inspection and/or treatment work, along with the cost of District-supplied materials. Man-hours will include setting and inspection of CO2 trap devices on or around the problem site.
Approx.: 8 Months 2 people, 2 hours each week
Approx.: 4 Months 1 person, 2 hours every three weeks
Approx.: 3 – 20 Gal BVA2 @ approx. $11.52 gal
4. District personnel will inform the property owner if mosquito breeding habitats can be eliminated without using pesticides (i.e., water circulation, fish stocking, and sealing entry/exit points). If non- pesticide methods cannot be identified or if the recommended actions fail, District personnel will implement control measures using public health pesticides, which may include materials that kill adult mosquitoes (adulticides). The choice of appropriate materials will rely on surveillance results and any additional information obtained by Mosquito and Vector Control staff. A 24-hour notice will be given to Plant Management prior to adulticiding.
5. The emergence of any unusual issues requiring extra manpower, equipment, and materials will necessitate a change order as an addendum to this agreement. It is understood that any modifications will be mutually agreed upon before the initiation of the order. All extra costs related to change orders will be negotiated separately.
6. The owner will pay for such services within 30 days of receipt of each bill.
7. This agreement shall be effective July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2028. Either party may terminate the agreement upon 30 days’ written notice to the other party.
8. During the term of this agreement, both contracting parties specifically waive the right to use the abatement procedures set forth in Health and Safety Code Sections 2060 through 2067, inclusive.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties execute this Agreement this _____ day of __________, 2025.
