<br />EXHIBIT A <br /> <br />SCOPE OF SERVICES <br /> <br />DEVELOP CLIMATE CHANGE/ENERGY EFFICIENCY RFP <br /> <br />Introduction <br /> <br />The City of Santa Ana (City) is interested in developing a comprehensive Climate <br />Change/Energy Efficiency Study (Study). The first step in this study is to develop a detailed <br />Request for Proposal (RFP) to assist in selecting the most qualified vendor to prepare this study. <br /> <br />EES Consulting, Inc. (EESC) is a registered engineering and management consulting firm <br />specializing in today's natural resource- and energy-related issues. We have undertaken <br />numerous studies related to climate change and energy efficiency, and will help the <br />City to develop the necessary RFP. Below is a brief proposal for EESC to assist the City in this <br />regard. <br /> <br />Proposed Scope of Work <br /> <br />EESC will assist the City in developing a detailed RFP for the Study. We will begin by drafting <br />a basic framework for the RFP. This basic framework will be crafted around other RFPs of this <br />nature and customized based upon our experience with similar projects. This draft framework <br />will be reviewed and critiqued by the City. <br /> <br />Next, detailed discussions will be undertaken with key City staff to identify specific areas within <br />the City's sphere of influence where opportunities exist. These opportunities will be both <br />general in nature and also specific to the City. <br /> <br />Given this research and dialogue with the City staff, EESC will take the draft RFP, update it for <br />City-specific issues and finalize the draft RFP for City review and approval. EESC will also <br />develop a preliminary mailing list for the RFP, and a draft notice of the RFP for publication in <br />trade journals and the appropriate newspapers. <br /> <br />Proposed Schedule and Budget <br /> <br />Regarding schedule, we anticipate the City staff meetings and subsequent development of the <br />RFP can be completed in 3-4 weeks. This schedule can be shortened depending on City staff <br />available. <br /> <br />EESC bills its clients on a time and materials basis. Our standard billing rates <br />are: <br /> <br />President............................................................................................. .$200 <br />Managing Director ......................... ............... ........................................
