Please add this itemyto-the ..agenda for Monday, June 17, 2019 2019-2253 BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PASS -AROUND REVIEW/ WORK SESSION REQUEST RE: USFS Funded Participating Agreement DEPARTMENT: Public Works, Weed Division DATE: June 4, 2019 Ij PERSON REQUESTING: Tina Booton, Weed Division Supervisor Brief description of the problem/issue: Weld County Weed Division has been working with the USFS Pawnee National Grassland (PNG) since 2015. When we entered into the first five year participating agreement no funds where attached with the working partnership. In 2016 funds started being attached to the agreement through 2018. The current participating agreement is due to expire at the end of 2019. The USFS has acquired $60,000 that they would like to contract with the Weed Division to use over the next three years to treat noxious weeds on the PNG using the Forest Service equipment. For this to work the USFS decided to enter into a new five year funded participating agreement that includes three years of planned work and funds. The USFS's $60,000 is planned to be spent as $10,600 in 2019, $29,200 in 2020, and $20,200 in 2021. These funds will cover labor, herbicides and USFS equipment repairs. These funds will cover 2,827 hours of labor over the three years. Weld County Weed Division has received a grant from the Colorado Department of Ag for $20,000 for seasonal labor to make treatments on the PNG in 2019. The other matching Weld County matching funds comes from work we already do to spray the roadsides going through the PNG and oversite of the project. So, each year our match is $3560 with the addition of $20,000 in 2019 from the grant. This agreement will facilitate a cost-effective and a coordinated treatment of undesirable plants throughout the County across jurisdictional boundaries with the objective of achieving healthy and productive natural and agricultural ecosystems. This agreement will also document the cooperation between the parties to control the noxious weeds. The new agreement will be in effect until December 31, 2023. Attorney Bob Choat has been sent the contract to review. There weren't any big issues with the formality of the contract in 2015. What options exist for the Board? (Include consequences, impacts, costs, etc. of options) 1. Enter into this agreement. 2. Do not enter into this agreement. Recommendation: I. Litter into this agreement.

The Non -Standard Calculation sections provide a write-in area for line items that require a calculation formula that is other than the standardized formules, e.g. instead of salaries being calculated by cost/day x # of days, costs may be calculated simply by a contracted value that is not dependent on days worked, such as 1 employee x $1,200/contract= 1,200. Be sure to review your calculations when entering in a Non -Standard Calculation, and provide a brief explanation of units used to make calculation, e.g. '1 month contract,` on a line below the figures.

Indirect Costs O.re R SHEET FOR Use this worksheet to perform the cost analysis that supports the lump sum figures provided in the matrix. NOTE: This worksheet auto populates the relevant and applicable matrix cells. Cost element sections may be deleted or lines may be hidden, if not applicable. Line items may be added or deleted as needed. The Standard Calculation sections provide a standardized formula for determing a line item's cost, e.g. cost/day x # of days= -total, where the total is calculated automatically. The Non - Standard Calculation sections provide a write-in area for line items that require a calculation formula that is other than the standardized formules, e.g. instead of salaries being calculated by cost/day x # of days, costs may be calculated simply by a contracted value that is not dependent on days worked, such as 1 employee x $1,200/contract= $1,200.
