the application. It is further agreed that the County will review the map for accuracy and require it to be re-worked in whole or in part if sufficient inaccuracies exist. B. One helicopter larviciding application will be made to 750 Acres at $62.10 per acre with Biosid. Total: 750 Acres x $62.10/Acre= $46,575.00 Biosid is an environmentally sensitive formulation consisting of the active ingredient of methoprene (0.1 %). Biosid is an insect growth regulator. Biosid granules will provide a 14-day residual. Biosid controls on contact and does not need to be ingested. See enclosed map for boundaries and acreage. The Biosid granules will be applied at a rate of 10 pounds per acre achieving a 75-foot swath width at an altitude of l0U feet. The Global Positioning System (GPS), a precise system of navigation, is employed to keep insecticide placement on target. The application includes all labor, equipment, materials and products to be applied. The County retains the right to change areas to be treated provided that Clarke will be afforded adequate notice by the County of any changes. The application will be made in April or May depending on larval activity and authorization by the County. Clarke will be able to apply treatment within seventy-two (72) hours of notification. C. Clarke certifies that it is or will be fully licensed for the required categories of insecticide application in the State if Ohio. Clarke further certifies that it is experienced and knowledgeable in the identification, mapping and treatment of mosquito breeding grounds with granular larvicide and that we have performed such work for at lease one season for a governmental entity. Clarke has furnished references as requested. Clarke further states that all equipment and personnel are in their direct control and employment and that subcontractors will not be used. Within the limitations imposed by adverse weather that would prevent aerial insecticide application, Clarke warrants that its techniques and chemicals will be effective within reasonable bounds in preventing adult mosquitoes from hatching. If Clarke fails to provide effective larval control or fails to make the insecticide application within the agreed period of time due to equipment failure, ineffective chemicals, ineffective application techniques or negligence in performing any part of the work, Clarke certifies to the County that it will provide repeat larval treatments to necessary areas at no additional cost to the Cuyahoga County Board of Health. The intent of this provision is to provide warranty on the work performed.
