Natural Step Planning Framework. The County is leveraging $25,000 already committed to this activity in the form of County facility energy audits, ICLEI membership, and The Natural Step training. The source-of the additional leverage of $54,248 is a portion of the annual. salary package for the Department of Research and Development's Program Specialist who will manage the EECBG projects. The Government Operations Energy Sustainability Management System will support the County's efforts to to achieve its goal of 70 percent renewable energy and fuels by 2030. Some preliminary work toward that end has already been initiated by the Mayor's Green Team. The Department of Research and Development is leveraging $3,000 used to provide 50 e-learning licenses for government employees on sustainability from The Natural Step. In addition, the County is leveraging EECBG funds with a $22,000 contract for energy audits on county facilities. The consultant,.selected through an RFP process, will: (1) Assist in the development of.a detailed GHG Emission Inventory to meet the Local Government Operations Protocol; (2) Review and analyze energy audit results; and (3) Build the capacity of county government employees to develop and monitor the Energy Sustainability Management System themselves by providing Energy Sustainability Management System workshops and training opportunities. Under the direction of the Department of Research and Development's Energy Specialist, the technical consultant will work closely with the Mayor's Green Team in developing the management system. The Green Team has already begun collecting preliminary government operations energy costs and greenhouse gas emissions data, and has developed six Government Operations Energy Sustainability Focus Area working groups: - Clean Energy, Efficient Buildings - C1ean.Energy, Efficient Street Lighting - Clean Energy, Clean Water - County Fleet, Employee Commute - Resource Management - Education, Training and Outreach With direct assistance from the technical consultant, and using data already collected, the Green Team Focus Area working groups will develop an Asset Inventory of existing policies, networks, resources, and plans; conduct a detailed 2007 Baseline Analysis and GHG Emissions using the 2009 ICLEI Clean Air and Climate Protection Software; and create Strategic Goals, Actions and Benchmarks. The Natural Step Planning Framework will be utilized to develop and integrate multiple research policies and planning documents for government operations. The Natural Step Planning Framework consists of four cyclical phases: (I)Awareness and Common Language; (II) Baseline-Analysis; (III) Compelling Vision; and (IV) Down to Action. The RFP and contracting process is expected to take approximately three months, with an executed contract in place by January 2010. The contract term will be twelve months.
