Detailed description of work to be performed and duties of all parties: A. The Contractor shall provide Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program services; (1). IPM implementation shall include the following Best Management Practices: a. Early observation through routine inspection so that pests present may be detected. Monitor each pest ecosystem to determine pest population, size, occurrence, and natural enemy population, if present. Identify decisions and practices employed with the least disruption of currently present natural controls. b. Determine an IPM implementation plan, an injury level, based on the degree of biological, aesthetic or economic damage the site can tolerate for each present pest. Decisions should consider the potential overall damage to the general environment, including all aspects of life cycle analysis; including environmental impact to non-target organisms; hazards to human health; toxicity to aquatic life, and the mobility and persistence of proposed solutions within the environment. c. Consider a range of potential treatments for the pest problem. Employ non-pesticide management tactics first. The controls detailed (listed on page 4 of this Exhibit) for illustrate non-pesticide management tactics.
