EXHIBIT A 0 CITY OF SANTA ANA EXHIBIT I SCOPE OF SERVICES In December of 2015, the City of Santa Ana City Council approved the City's first Climate Action Plan (CAP), which described how greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions within the City of Santa Ana were to be reduced in accordance with statewide targets through the implementation of certain mitigation measures. The measures established in the CAP were projected to accomplish the goals of a 15% reduction in community -wide emissions by 2020 and nearly reach a 30% reduction by 2035. The CAP measures affecting municipal operations were projected to accomplish goals of 30% reduction by 2020 and a 40% reduction by 2035. The CAP can be found on the Climate Action page of the City's website: https://docs g000le com/viewerng/viewer?url=https://storage googleapis com/proudcity/santaanaca/upl oads/2022/03/Climate-Action-Plan. pdf The CAP outlined greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction measures for the following GHG emission producing sectors: Transportation and Land Use, Energy, Solid Waste, Water, and Wastewater. Since the CAP's adoption, the City has implemented several measures that likely have resulted in a decrease in the City's GHG emissions. In the CAP, the City committed to progress reports to track and monitor implementation of the document, which was not completed and will be assessed as part of the deliverables of this scope of work. The City has since updated the Circulation Element of the General Plan, which includes Complete Streets policies to bring the City in compliance with the Complete Streets Act. The City has also adopted a Pedestrian Master Plan, Facilities Master Plan, Parks Master Plan, and updates to its Bicycle Master Plan. All plans outline and prioritize active transportation, multi -modal mobility, and open space and recreation improvements. The construction of the Orange County (OC) Streetcar will also be finalized by 2025, providing a clean electric transit mode for transit -dependent commuters within Santa Ana. The City has established a Hybrid and Alternative Fuel Vehicle Acquisition Policy to be environmentally sensitive in the purchasing the leasing of vehicles for City use, and is implementing a citywide Smart Water Meter Program with automated meter upgrades to help save water and support sustainability efforts.
