FISCAL OFFICER City of Dublin, Ohl Franklin County Public Health 280 East Broad Street Columbus, Ohio 43215-4562 (614) 525-3160 F,°"kl'" County www.myfcph.org Public Health 2018 Integrated Mosquito Management Contract September 13, 2017 Contract Extension through 2018 Franklin County Public Health and the Mosquito Workgroup have been reviewing the Franklin County Mosquito Management Program in order to make improvements to the program and issue a Request for Proposal for 2018-2020 services. Progress has been made, delays and interruptions have occurred, and additional questions were raised regarding services and possible improvements. We realized that an RFP could not be issued, and bids returned, in time for anyone to review, comment and obtain proper appropriations. If was decided to exercise a second 1 -year contract extension (with no price increase) for fhe 2018 mosauifo season. West Nile Virus Testing FCPH has used RAMP WNV testing for over a decade and were looking for a more accurate and cost- effective test. FCPH and VDCI, along with CDC, had an opportunity to participate in testing a new WNV testing platform for mosquitoes called "LAMP". Discussions with the vendor began last winter and arrangement to "beta -test" the platform was made available to us in July. We have had mixed success and continue to test it, tweak it and provide feedback. While very promising, it is not as easy to use and accurate as anticipated. We agreed that we should continue to test this product, but could not yet incorporate this into the new RFP. Nuisance Mosquito Control FCPH's mosquito program continues to be based on managing mosquitoes that carry disease and preventing human illness. The Workgroup identified nuisance mosquito control (mosquitoes that do not carry disease but are aggressive biters) as a direction some of jurisdictions may be interested in. With this year's rainy summer (like 2015), we have seen a huge number of nuisance mosquitoes. Regardless of the type of mosquito, the general public simply wants to be able to go outside and not get eaten alive. It becomes a quality of life issue and not a disease prevention issue. VDCI again, accommodated us by agreeing to spray many communities simply based on confirmed nuisance mosquito numbers. This nuisance mosquito is not part of our current contract/agreement with VDCI. More time is needed to explore the structure of a nuisance mosquito program, as well as the anticipated costs, before incorporating into the new RFP. Mosquito Software and Lab Equipment The Workgroup determined that mosquito management software would better serve the program, if it was housed and directed by FCPH, not the contractor. FCPH has identified a mosquito management software program that would greatly enhance data collection, provide detailed mapping, improve reporting, and provide real-time updates of program functions. This program requires expertise and support of ESRI ArcGIS software, for which FCPH would need to build capacity within our agency. In addition, we need to determine a way to equally share the cost of the software and annual maintenance (e.g., an agreement between FCPH and any participating jurisdiction or as a cost that FCPH may incur as our contribution to the program). To create long-term capacity and infrastructure for the program, the Workgroup agreed that lab equipment is best obtained and supplied to the contractor by FCPH. We need to determine a way to equally share the cost of lab equipment (e.g., an agreement between FCPH and any participating jurisdiction or as a cost that FCPH may incur as our contribution to the program). FCPH Resources Due to staffing shortages (medical leave, vacancy) and disease outbreak responses (Legionella) this past winter and spring, we were unable to keep the RFP development on pace for a timely bid for budgeting purposes.
