SUBJECT: INTERNAL DECARBONIZATION PLAN DATE: JULY 26, 2022 PAGE 4 OF 4 Additionally, the Internal Decarbonization Plan may identify longer -term planning for needs related to decarbonization of City facilities and equipment. Funding for electrification was submitted as part of the 2023-2028 Capital Improvement Plan. However, additional details will likely be available upon completion of the Internal Decarbonization Plan and may alter those estimates. PROGRAM/SUB-PROGRAM IMPACT: Energy efficiency upgrades both positively impact the Sustainability and Facilities Maintenance sub -programs by reducing energy consumption and realizing cost savings. The objective of the Sustainability sub -program is to use environmental, economic, and human resources to meet present and future needs without compromising the ecosystems on which we depend and to "actively pursue energy efficient upgrades to realize cost savings and reduce environmental impacts." The objective of the Facilities Maintenance sub -program is to "provide and manage facilities that maintain efficient and effective operations and promote environmental and economic sustainability." Future renewables and electric vehicle planning will further support the Sustainability, Facilities Maintenance, and Fleet Maintenance sub -programs by further conserving resources, increasing operational efficiency, and reducing operational negative environmental impact. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends moving forward with the attached RFP for the Internal Decarbonization Plan and hiring an engineering firm to complete the scope of work in the most cost efficient and effective approach.
