EXHIBIT A <br />SCOPE OF SERVICES <br />ENERGY AND SUSTAINABILITY CONSULTANT <br />The City of Santa Ana has implemented a number of programs aimed at reducing the City's <br />carbon footprint, including retrofitting its municipal facilities, purchasing alternative energy <br />vehicles, offering incentives for the installation of solar energy, and entering into an Energy <br />Efficiency Partnership with Southern California Edison. Notwithstanding the progress made on <br />these initiatives, a comprehensive, coordinated strategy is needed to meet legislative mandates <br />and to position the City to move forward in its climate protection efforts. <br />The City has received funding from Southern California Edison (SCE) to conduct strategic <br />planning activities centered on energy efficiency and addressing the strategies that are related to <br />local government goals found in the California Public Utilities Commission's Long-Term Energy <br />Efficiency Strategic Plan. <br />The City does not have the resources internally to coordinate development of a comprehensive <br />plan. Thus the City is interested in utilizing the services of a consultant, funded by the SCE <br />grant, to: <br />• Serve as an internal resource for energy efficiency and climate protection program <br />implementation; research funding opportunities for program implementation; interface <br />with a number of individuals on the city's team to develop programs; facilitate multi- <br />stakeholder dialogue. <br />• Oversee a separate third-party consultant's development of a governmental and <br />community baseline study of green house gas emissions, emissions reduction target, and <br />Climate Action Plan. <br />• Survey and coordinate local training for California Green Building Codes and LEED <br />accreditation for governmental stakeholders. <br />• Provide all reporting and data required by the Grant. <br />ESSENTIAL CHARACTERISTICS AND REQUIRED EXPERTISE <br />Provision of consulting services required under this scope of work will require a high level of <br />expertise. Key outcomes or tasks are included in the scope of work. The City will only consider <br />an experienced, highly qualified consultant. If your response to this recruitment is through a team <br />effort, it is critical that your proposal address how the various members of your team will be <br />united in effort. The work performed by the selected consultant will be coordinated with and <br />subject to the requirements of the City's energy partnership. <br />Extensive experience in the areas of climate protection programs (energy conservation, social <br />equity, environmental and economic) and policies are required. Specifically, the consultant must <br />have experience developing, implementing, and evaluating environmental and energy efficiency <br />programs in local government. <br />25E-10
