Nikki Zogg, administrator for the Coos County Public Health Department, said she contacted five contractors and only received the bid from VDCI. The county only had to contact three contractors. The contract will allow the county to back out if it decides the chemicals are too harmful. Spraying will begin as soon as VDCI can get their equipment ready and the county can get another permit from the Department of Envi- ronmental Quality. Hopefully, they will spray Tuesday or Wednesday, officials said. The cost will be about $28,156.88 for the MetaLarv and $23,160 at the most for the Dibrome. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service will handle all of the MetaLarv and part of the Dibrome cost. Chris Wiggins, resident of Bandon and code compliance specialist, said she was worried about the chemicals chosen for the abatement. "I don't oppose spraying," Wiggins said. "I'm just concerned how it will affect land use." The Port of Bandon said they will give Photos by Alysha Beck, The World $2,500 toward the cost.
