require consideration of data availability from all key data sources, as well as local considerations. AECOM will work with City staff to identify and contact required data providers, develop an understanding of the availability and limitations of data sources, and explore possible operational changes which may have occurred in the recent past which would affect the relevance of historical data. Subtask 7b. Identify Data Sources and Collect Data Through meetings with key departmental staff, AECOM will identify the data needs and expected sources for the government operations and community inventories. Data needs and expected sources will be determined using the above-referenced standards as a guide. In cases where primary data sources are incomplete, secondary sources may be used to augment or substitute for primary data sources. During this stage, Fehr and Peers will generate VMT data for use in determining community-wide transportation emissions, utilizing the Orange County Transportation Authority Travel Demand Model (OCTAM) to ensure that vehicle miles travelled (VMT) is accurately accounted for and attributed only to travel related to the Santa Ana community. In addition to the required data for determining emissions, a variety of indicator data will also be collected for benchmarking purposes. This may include such indicators as square footage of buildings and government facilities, number of full time-equivalent employees, community population and employment, or economic activity, enabling additional levels of data analysis and future comparability. This information may also be used in setting the emission reduction target, if an efficiency-based target is desired and determined appropriate for Santa Ana. Subtask 7c. Analyze and Report Emissions Data AECOM will utilize ICLEI's CACP software and other industry-leading tools to analyze emissions. As part of the emissions analysis task, AECOM will perform a quality control analysis to ensure that quality, reliable data is provided to the city_ Results will be presented in a technical memorandum that describes emissions by source, scope, and sector, and describes the inventory methodology. A draft report will be provided to the City on the baseline GHG inventory including the energy savings analysis for the baseline GHG for both the Community and Municipal Operations_ The team will review the findings with City staff and develop a Powerpoint presentation of the inventory results for use in meetings and workshops.
