Also,entities are reminded that if you have not already provided information regarding the year each of your project buildings were constructed,you must do so as soon as possible.Additionally,all buildings'B3 energy tracking must be brought up to date.The monthly data will be an important tool in order to track and report on the energy changes after the improvements are made.We cannot move on to preparing the grant agreement until these and all other necessary components are complete. Lamps(SAMPLE PLAN) Used fluorescent lamps represent one of our most common waste streams for building management wastes with thousands being recycled annually.The process starts with our front line staff changing out fluorescent lamps either individually as they fail or in blocks based on access and timing or energy upgrade needs.The lamps are stored in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency universal waste regulation 40 CFR part 273 including storing them in containers with labels describing the contents and the start date of accumulation.The accumulation guidelines for each site vary and are mainly limited by storage capacity and amount of lamps generated.Some sites can only store a few hundred lamps and others can accumulate two to three thousand lamps before needing to send them out for recycling. The standard storage time for accumulating universal waste is 12 months and the maximum storage time is 24 months for facilities generating nominal waste.When it is time to recycle the lamps,facility staff contact the hazardous materials coordinator in the Workplace Wo kplace Safety and Environmental division.The coordinator ensures that the Facilities staff have either provided or completed the information for the recycling vendor's document(site,address,contact p p Y g ( , information,contract, number and type of lamps and other items for recycling,and special instructions).The hazardous materials coordinator e-mails a copy of the completed information to the recycling vendor and Facilities contacts needing the recycling pick up. The vendor coordinates the date and time of pick up with the given facility staff and leaves them with the appropriate recycling documentation at the time of pick up.Sometime after the pick up the hazardous materials coordinator receives, reviews,and approves the recycling invoices and related documentation. Examples of documents in the lamp recycling process include: • Cover sheet for hazardous materials recycling contract •Vendor"Pickup Request" 1 • Vendor"Certificate of Recycling and/or Disposal" • Vendor invoice Note: Please give as much pertinent detail as possible about all of the possible wastes that may be involved within the activity categories you have decided to make available, in your offering.

The Planning Commission also 4110 discussed the regulations for wind energy and solar energy systems. The discussion provided direction for staff to make changes to the Comprehensive Plan amendments and in drafting the regulations for alternative energy systems. For the October 14, 2010 meeting, the Planning Commission will be asked to review the draft Alternative Energy Systems Ordinance. This will be a totally new section of the Zoning Ordinance and will be added as Section 401.17. Please note that it addresses definitions, solar energy systems, wind energy systems and ground source heat pumps. Once the Planning Commission discusses what will be allowed in each Zoning District, the final Ordinance will include the alternative energy system by District. The Planning Commission should review the draft in detail so that we can discuss it at the October 14, 2010 meeting. The Planning Commission should also schedule a public hearing for the November 11, 2010 meeting to consider the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Ordinance revisions for the Energy Efficiency and Conservation project. • 401.17.

We are seeking an amendment in the Project Element timelines for the Solar Improvements to the Brekke Park Shelter. We had hoped to complete this by the end of October,2010,but it does now appear to be too tight of a schedule. At this time we request a 60 day extension. 2. Related to this Project element; We did discuss the solar panels,it would appear that we have found SHARP manufactured solar panels that are compliant with requirements. I have enclosed this for your use as perhaps others may have the same questions. You can cross reference this attachment with Section 48 of the Project Manual. We hope to find similar data sheets for all lights and equipment. PROGRAM Related Question: 1. In July,I believe I had sent to you a revised general budget and I believe is something that we need to revise our agreements to reflect;although I do not believe these are substantial changes. I have attached that budget again, if you need any additional information on this item please let me know. Cc: Chris Long,Bonestoo Rick Osa,Bonestroo t^.

The Planning Commission provided direction and suggested additional sources of information for review. The ilk focus of this grant for the Planning Commission will be to review and revise the gp Comprehensive Plan from a sustainability perspective and to update the municipal ordinances to adopt energy efficiency and renewable energy provisions. For the September 16, 2010 meeting, the Planning Commission will be asked to review the following goal and policy additions to the Comprehensive Plan and to further discuss regulations for wind energy conversion and solar energy systems. I have attached a copy of the Wind Energy Conversion Systems Ordinance from the City of Cottage Grove as we discussed at the last Planning Commission meeting. Comprehensive Plan The Comprehensive Plan, last updated and approved in 2008 did not include significant goal and policy statements related to sustainability or energy efficiency. There are specific policies related to solar energy and recycling, but otherwise the Comprehensive Plan is silent on this issue. As part of this project, it will be necessary to revise the Comprehensive Plan to focus more on sustainability and energy efficiency. Please find as follows a listing of the goals and policies to be added to the Ordinance. Once the Planning Commission has reviewed and discussed these in more detail, they will be placed in the format of the Comprehensive Plan document. I have included the Sections and page numbers of where these additions will be made. If you do not have a copy of the Comprehensive Plan, it can be viewed online at the City website or Julie Hultman can provide a disc for your use. • MISSION STATEMENT, VALUES, AND COMMUNITY GOALS (Page 41) • III Add this Community Goal: • Commit to the p reservation and enhancement of the environment and to the principle that each generation or residents must meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future residents to meet their own needs. The City recognizes the_need to address the management of natural resources and identify the strategies to assist Oak Park Heights in becoming a more sustainable community. Through sustainable development and the efficient use of energy and natural resources, the City seeks to maintain and enhance economic opportunity and community well being while protecting and restoring the natural environment.

Policies: A. Support and encourage community efforts in environmental awareness and education. B. Support waste reduction activities including recycling, reuse, and composting through policies and educational outreach opportunities for citizens and businesses. C. Emphasize the importance of directing waste that cannot be reused, recycled, or • composted to facilities that recover some of the energy value in garbage with use of landfills as the last alternative. 3 D. Continue to provide and encourage curbside recycling of reusable waste • materials through educational events, promotional materials and volunteer efforts. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION (Page 79) Change name of section and add the following to this section: ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AND SUSTAINABILITY Sustainability The City of Oak Park Heights has recognized the importance of the conservation and preservation of water, air, energy and other natural resources in order to achieve a more sustainable community. It is recognized that there are four areas in which the City can preserve natural resources and ensure that development recognizes the value of environmental protection. An effective implementation program includes the work of commissions, ordinance updates, permitting and other regulatory mechanisms; design guidelines and performance standards; public education and involvement; and intergovernmental cooperation. The following implementation items are to be pursed: • 1. The City Council •should consider establishing an Environmental Advisory Commission which would be made up of citizens to advise the City Council regarding sustainability issues. The commission could also serve as a forum for the citizens of Oak Park Heights to voice opinions and ideas regarding environmental protection. 2. Implement sustainable development practices into the design, construction and operation of all City facilities as feasible. 3. Work with developers to apply sustainable building practices in all private sector development and redevelopment. Utilize utility-sponsored renewable energy and conservation programs where possible in development projects. 4. Amend the City Code to accommodate alternative energy regulations including solar, wind energy, geothermal, and biomass so as to encourage their use but be installed in a way that is compatible with residential and commercial areas. 5. Continue to expand and promote the City sidewalk and trail e system to encourage 9 an alternate form of transportation not dependent upon motorized vehicle use. 6. Work with the Metropolitan Council on expanding the transit service to Oak Park Heights and the St Croix Valley area. • lu L"" 4 r • 7. Work on the development of an environmental awareness program that is designed to educate and inform residents and developers on energy efficiency and utilization of renewable energy sources. 8. Develop a City policy on conservation of energy, to be used at all City facilities pand by all employees that can be used as a model for the rest of the community. 9. Continue developing programs for recycling, reuse and composting as well as the education of citizens and businesses on waste reduction. 10. Work with the contracted waste hauler on alternatives to reducing the amount of material that will be land filled. Zoning Ordinance/Design Guidelines Prior to drafting all of the revisions to the Zoning Ordinance and possible amendments to the Design Guidelines, I would like to have a discussion on wind energy systems, solar regulations and other alternative energy systems. We should focus on where they should go, how tall they should be, and other specifics related to allowing these systems. As indicated, I have attached the Cottage Grove Wind Energy Conversion System ordinance to this memo. Additionally, the Planning Commission should review 41) the August 12, 2010, packet materials that include ordinances from Woodbury, Excelsior, and Lakeville. The Planning Commission should focus on what Zoning districts are appropriate for alternative energy systems; consider setbacks, visual issues, and noise. Additionally the Planning Commission should review the page within the Design Guidelines on Sustainability and discuss if amendments should be made. • 5 Sterling Codfien,Inc - 9/7/1010:55 AM • 11-4-6: WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS (WECS): A.Purpose:The purpose of this section is to provide for the regulation of the construction and operation of wind energy conversion systems in Cottage Grove,subject to reasonable conditions that will protect the environment,public health,safety,and welfare.

There are a number of tasks that must be completed as part of the project including the following: 1. Hold an Energy Fair a 2.— 910,erform Energy Audits of City Facilities and Operations 3. j reate and Manage a Plan and Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emissions 4.a o/Retrofit some of the lighting at Brekke Park to solar. Bs,r51 Review and Revise the Comprehensive Plan from a Sustainability - Perspective ep Review and Revise Municipal Ordinances to Adopt Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Provisions Of these tasks, the Planning Commission will be responsible for numbers five and six, the review and update of the Comprehensive Plan, Zoning Ordinance and possibly the Design Guidelines. A more detailed description of these tasks is as follows: • Scope of Services • Comprehensive Plan: The City will need to review and update the 2008 Comprehensive Plan to include policy statements, plans and action strategies to promote energy efficiency, transportation efficiency and the conservation of energy by the City, its residents, institutions and businesses. Any existing plans or policies that in restrict energy conservation will be identified and addressed. Specifically this will require the following: 1. Include a City statement relating to sustainability and energy efficiency in the Community Goals Section of the Plan. 2. Update land use, transportation, community facilities and administration sections to include goals and policies related to sustainability and energy efficiency. 3. Update the implementation and action strategies to encourage energy efficiency, transportation efficiency and the conservation of energy. Zoning Ordinance/Design Guidelines: • The Zoning Ordinance will be reviewed and updated to enact the policy and plans of the Comprehensive Plan as it relates to energy efficiency and conservation. The Ordinance will address provisions that will encourage alternative energy systems that have a positive impact on energy production and conservation while not having an adverse impact on the community. Existing Zoning provisions that restrict energy efficiency and conservation will be reviewed and revised. Although, the new Design Guidelines address sustainability, they will be reviewed and updated to address in more detail energy efficiency and conservation. 1. Consider the addition of energy efficiency, wind energy and solar ordinances into a Zoning update. 2. Review the Zoning Ordinance and determine if any of the provisions restrict energy efficiency and conservation. 3. Review the Design Guidelines to determine if the provisions are adequate to promote sustainability and energy efficiency. • 2 • Work Program July 2010: TPC to review project parameters, research energy conservation plans and ordinances, develop detailed work program.

Chapter III. Overall Policies • services, employee housing and transportation needs. Policy No. 2: Facilitate connections between local businesses and various programs that provide incentives and financial assistance for business retention and recruitment. Policy No. 3: Facilitate local workforce participation in city programs and facilities. Policy No. 4: Maintain a partnership with the TwinWest Chamber and collaborate with other agencies to recognize existing and new businesses. D. The Natural Environment Community Values: * protect & improve our water resources &woodlands * facilitate open space preservation * respect the natural environment white managing growth * promote use of green technology & sustainable development General The preservation of natural resources has attracted development, resulting in attractive home sites and business developments. Natural resource protection has been a major initiative in community development and restoration activities throughout the city since the early 1970s. • The natural resource protection and enhancement measures have evolved over the past 40 years and the city has been recognized as a leader in preservation techniques and programs. Continued efforts are needed to protect, manage and enhance important natural resources. While the city continues to balance natural resource protection efforts while respecting individual property rights, as part of the development process, recent initiatives towards education of residents and businesses about conservation, resource enhancement and long- term stewardship complements resource planning activities. Emphasis on resource planning activities on a neighborhood ecological level is needed to protect a variety of natural resources. These resources include: • numerous areas of steep slopes (over 12 % and 18 %), • over 225 natural community vegetative remnants of varying ecological quality, • approximately 2,439 acres of Type 1 - 7 wetland and floodplain areas, and • 643 acres of lakes and creek basins. Incentives and programs will be used to protect, enhance and improve natural resources. Emphasis will be placed on the preservation and enhancement of water quality and quantity, water resources and significant vegetation. The city will be an advocate/facilitator in the education, use and incentives for "green" technology. Stormwater Management The emphasis on the management of water quality and quantity is important from both a local and regional perspective. The drainage system in the city relies on natural drainage ways and storage areas within four watersheds (Minnehaha, Riley-Purgatory, Nine Mile and Basset Creeks) that eventually drain through numerous communities to the Minnesota River. cirye1 III-13 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan minnetonka Chapter III. Overall Policies Stormwater management offers opportunities to control development impacts by establishing • regulations for the use of new or existing resource areas for water storage and filtration. Water quality and quantity management requires the use of a variety of techniques to reduce phosphorus and nutrient loads, incorporate sustainable design techniques to encourage infiltration, and reduce erosion and sedimentation with private development projects and new public facilities. Green Technology Since the early 1990s the city has incorporated "green" technologies and techniques to conserve and reduce reliance on nonrenewable energy sources. Current "green technologies" utilized and encouraged by the city include recycling, use of solar energy, and non-toxic cleaning methods for utility and facility management. Policy No. 1: Support, promote and facilitate environmentally sensitive development. Policy No. 2: Continue to provide leadership in integrating natural resource preservation and cost-effective and practical "green technologies" in community facilities and the delivery of city services. Policy No. 3: Provide education and programs to residents and businesses to encourage natural resource protection, enhancement, stewardship, the control of invasive species and the use of "green technologies". Policy No. 4: Require new development and redevelopment to preserve and enhance important natural resources including natural communities, woodlands, wetlands, floodplain areas, shorelands and slope areas. Policy No. 5: Require land uses, development and redevelopment to: • comply and be consistent with the City of Minnetonka Water Resources Management Plan • comply with existing and new city and watershed requirements for non- degradation of water quality. Policy No. 6: Encourage the use of technologies, including solar access and other or new forms of renewable energy, oriented towards energy conservation and efficiency. E. Parks, Open Space and Recreation Community values: * promote activities that encourage understanding & involvement * expand & increase usability of our trails & sidewalks Over the last 50 years, the city has responded to the residential demand for community and neighborhood parks by constructing nearly 50 parks throughout Minnetonka. In addition, the community value of natural resource preservation has resulted in the acquisition of significant open space for use as passive recreational activities, especially along creek corridors. In the future, the acquisition of park land for active and passive recreational activities will not be as significant as it has in the past since the city has obtained numerous acres for park, open space and recreation purposes. However, further limited acquisition of property may be required in certain locations to meet park development and stewardship needs. • c;q•oj 111-14 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan ininnetonka Chapter III. Overall Policies • Park activities for Minnetonka, in the future, will primarily focus upon facility development and improvements, and connectivity between parks, neighborhoods and activity centers. Over the past 20 years, city park facilities have expanded from solely city-owned facilities to partnerships with schools, athletic associations, other public agencies and unique public/private partnerships. For example, current efforts to develop an implementation and stewardship p Upper for the U er Minnehaha Creek corridor with the County, watershed district and the city are a model that will like! be initiated for park and open space development Y likely and stewardship in the future. The changing demographics of residents will affect the Minnetonka park and recreation system more so in the future than continued development and redevelopment. The trend lil towards an gpopulation a in and the need to continue to attract families to the city will likely g require facilities that reflect "healthy living" objectives, accommodate "wheel-ability" (i.e. wheel chairs, bikes, baby carts, etc.) that extends throughout the lifecycle and new or redesigned facilities that accommodate a range of activities and encourage accessibility. Further, park and open space activities aimed at environmental stewardship and interaction with natural resources, such as nature center development and trail connections need accommodation within the overall park system. The city will continue to investigate additional open space opportunities and acquisitions under public ownership or other controls. Policy No. 1: Provide city parks, and recreational facilities and programs to meet the needs of Minnetonka residents and businesses: • Upgrade existing facilities or provide new facilities that appeal to the changing demographics of residents. • Provide new neighborhood parks where access to existing park facilities is inadequate, or is underserved. Policy No. 2: Manage city parks, facilities and programs to accommodate the effects of environmental changes, and the changing needs of residents, businesses and employees of Minnetonka businesses. Policy No. 3: Collaborate with schools and other organizations to promote "healthy living" activities and programs. Policy No. 4: Extend and manage the trail system as a recreation and "pathway" corridor throughout the city. F. Transportation Community values: * enhance resident & business mobility with quality roads & transit * meet local & regional needs through leadership & collaboration * expand & increase usability of our trails & sidewalks P Y Land use planning requires coordination with transportation facilities (roadways, transit and n and new development to access from existing a trails and needs to ensure adequate and safe ac P q g the local and regional roadway system. The lack of consideration of land uses and development on the city's transportation system leads to unplanned congestion, confusion for • the motorist, safety issues and unanticipated capital expenditures for the city, county and C ty of III-15 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan minnetonka Chapter III. Overall Policies state. • Overall roadway circulation within the city is limited, unlike many large communities in the metropolitan area. Several state and county roadways are characterized by access limitations that segment Minnetonka; significant topographical changes and existing environmental protection areas; and a "parcel by parcel" development pattern have all led to a discontinuous roadway system. The lack of a continuous roadway system causes difficulty in planning a transportation system that supports residents and businesses in the city. Roadway segments can become congested, forcing drivers to find alternative routes, such as local roads, that are not designed or located to carry higher traffic volumes. Currently, the local roadway system has operated efficiently and within capacity, and it is important to preserve the function and design of local streets as population increases and congestion worsens in order to protect residential neighborhoods. As development and redevelopment continue, pressure on the overall transportation system wilt intensify without commensurate levels of roadway and facility improvements. Therefore, it is important to identify areas, before development or redevelopment occurs, where anticipated congestion will affect the overall transportation system. The transportation system needs to be planned to: • support the villages and the Ridgedale/Opus regional areas, and • to accommodate public travel and recreational needs. Opportunities for multi-modal transportation facilities are available or planned in the Ridgedale, Opus (Southwest Corridor LRT) and community village areas where major transportation corridors exist. Therefore, more intense and higher density development and redevelopment should be planned and designed to gain additional or reasonable access to 4Il these transportation facilities. Further, planning should include the provision for non- vehicular corridors (trails, pathways, sidewalks) and facilities to safely access land use and transportation facilities within these areas. Continued collaboration with the County and State is needed to ensure that commensurate roadway and transit improvements are available for planned areas of more intense development in the city and expanding resident service needs. Trails and other non-vehicle corridors serve a dual purpose to provide overall connectivity to village centers, public facilities and other community activity centers. The Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail and the proposed CR 101 regional trail (local trail from the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail to TH 7) serve regional trait, connectivity and "greenway" needs as well as local Minnetonka needs. The completion of the overall trail plan will assist in providing connectivity throughout the city and the surrounding area as well as support "healthy living" and recreational objectives. Policy No. 1: Provide a safe and integrated transportation system. Policy No. 2: Recognize the interrelationship of land use and transportation, and anticipate impacts of the location and intensity of planned land uses on the transportation system. Policy No. 3: Provide and promote convenient and accessible transportation systems to residents and employees of Minnetonka businesses. Policy No. 4: Manage the impact of new development upon the local transportation system and encourage the use of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) and • c;< <H ni : 111-16 2030 Comprehensive Guide Plan innetonka CHAPTER 29 616 410 ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SYSTEMS SECTION: 11-29--1 : Purpose 11-29--3 : Wind Energy Conversion Systems (WECS) 11-29--5: Solar Energy Systems 11-29--7 : Ground Source Heat Pump Systems 11-29--9: Hydronic Furnaces 11-29-1 : PURPOSE: The purpose of this Chapter is to establish standards alternative energy systems shall be governed within the City. 11-29-3 : WIND ENERGY CONVERSION SYSTEMS (WECS) : A.

Decent Fridge Poor Response By Sears May 04,2010 We purchased an entire house worth of appliances through our builder for our house.The fridge bolts great and keeps things cold,but ifs the extras(which we paid the high price for)which are giving us issues. Specifically,the display screen over the dispensor is defective.It gives errors occasionally for no apparent reason,and the numbers only partially illuminate at times(so,you get a 9 that looks like a 4). We understand that we look risks with newer technology.But,we expected for Sears to resolve the situation quickly,and they have faded. We have waked over a month,and two separate deliveries of the incorrect part to have the fridge fixed.The repair men have been rude to my wife,and don't appear competent(ergo the ordering of incorrect parts-not even for our model).You would think that a $1700 fridge would work,and in the event it did not-you would have it fixed or a new one a month later. Also,the fridge doesn't feel all that stable when opening and closing. Repair guy told my wife that it's fine,but 1 think it just needs to be adjusted. I think lithe fridge had shown up/or been fixed without issues it would be a great,but go somewhere else to buy it.

(PIN W10184939 Rev.A) ENERGY STA R ASSISTANT SECRETARY OF ENERGY FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY MEMORANDUM OF DECISION SUBJECT: Determination of inapplicability(categorical waiver)under section 1605 of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009(Recovery Act)for LED traffic lights,arrows,and crosswalk signals;fluorescent electronic lighting ballasts (with the exception of electronic dimming ballasts for fluorescent lamps that are capable of operating the lamps below 50% of their rated light output);and screw- base and pin-base compact fluorescent lamps(CFLs)(with the exception of plug-in CFLs longer than 10 inches). Under the authority of Recovery Act,section 1605(b)(2),the head of a federal department or agency may issue a"determination of inapplicability"(a waiver of the Buy American provisions)if the iron,steel,or relevant manufactured good is not produced or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available quantities and of a satisfactory quality("nonavailability").On November 10,2009,the Secretary of Energy delegated the authority to make all innaplicability determinations to the Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy(EERE),for EERE projects under the Recovery Act. Pursuant to this delegation the Assistant Secretary,EERE,has concluded that LED traffic lights,arrows,and crosswalk signals;fluorescent electronic lighting ballasts(with the exception of electronic dimming ballasts for fluorescent lamps that are capable of operating the lamps below 50%of their rated light output);and screw- base and pin-base compact fluorescent lamps(with the exception of plug-in CFLs longer than 10 inches)all qualify for the"nonavailability"determination. The determination of inapplicability under Recovery Act section 1605 for these three products is based on extensive market research and a thorough investigation of the domestic manufacturing landscape.This research revealed that these three products are manufactured almost exclusively in China and Mexico. EERE corresponded with a wide range of lighting industry stakeholders,including the National Electrical Manufacturers Association,three major lighting companies(GE, Osram Sylvania,and Phillips),the IUE-CWA labor union,and many smaller lighting manufacturers,in establishing the domestic nonavailability determinations.The two specific exceptions to these categorical waivers(for electronic dimming ballasts and 10- inch and longer CFLs)are evidence of the very detailed research effort undertaken to support the formulation of these nonavailability determinations. These determinations are also informed by the large number of inquiries and petitions to EERE from recipients of EERE Recovery Act funds("grantees"),suppliers,and trade associations—all stating that their individual efforts to locate domestic manufacturers have been unsuccessful. EERE has also received two specific waiver requests from grantees for LED traffic lights and fluorescent electronic lighting ballasts,and has postponed granting waivers for these individual projects in favor of developing nationwide categorical waivers that would benefit all grantees implementing projects that utilize these manufactured goods. EERE is operationalizing a strategy that involves collaborating with multiple stakeholders in the manufacturing community to disseminate technical specifications for hard-to-find products to ascertain whether or not there are any domestic manufacturers for these products.This strategy will ensure that all future determinations of nonavailability are developed via a thorough,transparent,and expedited process. However,while this larger strategy is unfolding,it is critical to move forward with the nationwide categorical waivers for these three manufactured goods,where domestic nonavailability has been ascertained and is currently impeding the progress of numerous Recovery Act projects funded by EERE. These determinations of inapplicability(categorical waivers)apply to all projects using EERE Recovery Act funds for the construction,alteration,maintenance and repair of public buildings or public works.The Assistant Secretary,EERE,reserves the right to revisit and amend these determinations based on new developments or changes in the domestic manufacturing capacity for these three technologies. The specific products detailed below will be excluded from the determinations of inapplicability(i.e.these products will remain subject to the Buy American provisions) because some domestic manufacturing capacity does exist. 1) Electronic dimming ballasts for fluorescent lamps Electronic dimming ballasts for fluorescent lamps that are capable of operating the lamps below 50%of their rated light output. 2) Plug-in CFLs longer than 10 inches CFLs greater than 10 inches in length have a 4-pin base and are rated from 18 to 27 watts.They are available in a range of color temperatures and are used,for example,in facilities,offices,warehouses and display cases.Lengths range from 10.5 in(266.7 mm) to 225 in(571.5 mm),and rated life ranges from 10,000 to 20,000 hours. 3) Traffic light fixtures The nationwide categorical waiver for LED traffic lights,arrows,and crosswalk signals covers the LED lights and any adjacent wires and electronic parts necessary for the functionality of the lights themselves;but excludes the metal or plastic fixtures(also referred to as the"housing"or"shell"). In light of the foregoing,and under the authority of section 1605(b)(2)of the Public Law 111-5 and Redelegation Order 00-002-01C,dated November 10,2009,with respect to Recovery Act projects funded by EERE,I hereby issue a"determination of inapplicability"(a waiver under the Recovery Act Buy American provisions)for LED traffic lights,arrows,and crosswalk signals;fluorescent electronic lighting ballasts(with the exception of electronic dimming ballasts for fluorescent lamps that are capable of operating the lamps below 50%of their rated light output);and screw-base and pin-base compact fluorescent lamps(with the exception of plug-in CFLs longer than 10 inches). Furthermore,I reserve the right to revisit and amend these determinations based on new developments or changes in the domestic manufacturing capacity for these three technologies. r - Cathy Zoi Assistant Secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy U.S. Department of Energy February 11,2010 City of Oak Park Heights EECBG-Program and Projects Summary of Award-Estimated Budget as of 4-19-10 g I ry CSC EECBG Grant Total Project $ 37,840 $ 37,840 Program $ 7.000 5 46.565 $ 53,565 Total $ 7,000 $ 84,405 $ 91,405 Project-"Funded/Approved" Projects Actual Funded PV-LED Park Lights $ 34,700 Energy Applicances for City Hall $ 3,140 Subtotal $ 37,840 «--Plus the ADDITIONAL cost of showerheads+1-$5,000?10,000? • • .

Here is the breakdown of funding: Program: The program will receive all requested funding and will be distributed as proposed in the budget. Additionally, we have decided that handing out CFLs is more appropriately funded as a program. Therefore,we have shifted the CFLs to the program (perhaps they can be handed out at the fair). The program, including the CFLs, will be funded as follows: Total Project Cost: $53,620 Grant Award: $46,565 The project will receive funding for the appliances, the light demonstration, and the low-flow showerheads(I will need you to send me the cost of those).We will not fund the vehicles because it is not an eligible activity. Further, we will not fund the duel-flush toilet kits since it was not demonstrated that significant energy savings would be achieved despite the savings of water. The project will be funded as follows: Total Project Cost: $37,840 (plus cost of showerheads) Light demonstration: 34,700 Appliances: $3,140 Grant Award: $37,840 (plus cost of showerheads) Let me know if you have anymore questions, -Abby Abby Finis Office of Energy Security Minnesota Department of Commerce www.energy.mn.gov 85 7th Place East,Suite 500 St.Paul,MN 55101-2198 651-296-6205 From: Eric Johnson [mailto:eajohnson @cityofoakparkheights.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 10:46 AM To: Nelson, Bruce (COMM); Finis, Abby (COMM) Subject: RE: EECBG Program Abby and Bruce, It is great to know that the City has been awarded some grant funding, but would it be possible for someone to give me something, in writing that exactly states what has been funded and/or what I am use for the funds for(based on our submitted projects).

I will work with you to prepare an attachment to the grant agreement that lists a schedule of tasks and timelines and a budget showing the grant and match amount.Also, keep in mind that all work performed must comply with all applicable codes including the Minnesota building and energy code. You will be required to send us monthly invoices. As you incur costs,you will be reimbursed based on the ratio of the match amount for your project. For example, if you have a 50% match and you spend $1,000; you will 3/31/2010 Page 2 of 2 invoice us for$500. We must ensure that your project meets the various federal requirements for American Recovery and Reinvestment Act(ARRA)of 2009 grants—we are still reviewing the details, but want you to remind you about them now: • Waste Management Plan.You will need to provide this for your project.A sample was included in the RFP. We suggest that you review the sample and begin preparing a similar document for your specific project(s). - National Environmental Policy Act requirements.You were required to complete an Environmental Questionnaire as part of your proposal;this information will be reviewed and you may be asked to submit additional information. Keep in mind that, as was stated in the RFP,you will be required to certify to us that your project does not present an extraordinary circumstance (see page 12 of the RFP for a definition). - National Historic Preservation Act requirements. Projects involving buildings that are listed on or eligible for the National Register of Historic Places may be subject to review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966. If your project falls into this category,you may be required to provide supplemental materials including a detailed project description, photographs of the building and site, maps and aerial photos, architectural drawings and product specifications. Many types of work have been categorically excluded from review, so specific information needs will be determined on a case-by-case basis depending on the nature of each project. - Davis Bacon weekly reporting. Grant recipients will be required to comply with requirements of the federal Davis-Bacon Act. The Act requires grant recipients to provide wage data each week and to provide other information. You will receive a separate e-mail outlining specific requirements. - Buy American. Recipients using federal grant funds for construction, alteration, maintenance or repair projects on public buildings or public works will be required to comply with the provisions of the Buy American Recovery Act which requires that all iron, steel and manufactured goods used in such projects must be produced in the United States. - Energy, Labor Hours and other reporting.The OES is responsible to the U.S. Department of Energy for ..........> reporting on the progress of all of the EECBG grants. You will need to provide us with energy savings, labor hours, and other information about the progress of your project. For building projects,we intend to use the B3 Benchmarking database, so we suggest that you take all efforts to keep the data for your building up to date. We will provide additional details in the near future. In the near future I will be contacting you as a follow-up to this e-mail and to obtain additional information about your proposal if necessary.Given the large number of grants that we are managing, it will not be possible to respond to all inquiries immediately. The best way to get a question to our office regarding the grant agreement and the process is to send me an e-mail. I or another OES staff person will respond to you as soon as possible. Thank you for your cooperation and I look forward to working with you.

Here is the breakdown of funding: Program: The program will receive all requested funding and will be distributed as proposed in the budget. Additionally, we have decided that handing out CFLs is more appropriately funded as a program. Therefore, we have shifted the CFLs to the program (perhaps they can be handed out at the fair). The program, including the CFLs, will be funded as follows: Total Project Cost: $53,620 Grant Award: $46,565 The project will receive funding for the appliances, the light demonstration, and the low-flow showerheads (I will need you to send me the cost of those). We will not fund the vehicles because it is not an eligible activity. Further, we will not fund the duel-flush toilet kits since it was not demonstrated that significant energy savings would be achieved despite the savings of water. The project will be funded as follows: Total Project Cost: $37,840 (plus cost of showerheads) tot L Light demonstration: 34,700 Appliances: $3,140 Kod■ry i ,S-b 5 53/ 62 D Grant Award: $37,840 (plus cost of showerheads) Let me know if you have anymore questions, Qr o\evi° -Abby Abby Finis Office of Energy Security Minnesota Department of Commerce www.energy.mn.gov 85 7th Place East,Suite 500 St.Paul,MN 55101-2198 651-296-6205 From: Eric Johnson [mailto:eajohnson @cityofoakparkheights.com] Sent: Tuesday, April 06, 2010 10:46 AM To: Nelson, Bruce (COMM); Finis, Abby (COMM) Subject: RE: EECBG Program Abby and Bruce, It is great to know that the City has been awarded some grant funding, but would it be possible for someone to give me something, in writing that exactly states what has been funded and/or what I am use for the funds for(based on our submitted projects).

Eric Johnson From: Finis, Abby(COMM)[Abby.Finis @state.mn.us) Sent: Wednesday,April 07, 2010 9:51 AM To: Finis, Abby(COMM) Subject: EECBG Next Step: Waste Management Plan Good Morning, This email provides information regarding the next step in the EECBG process: provide us with a copy of your waste management plan.The EECBG process requires that each grantee submit a waste management plan that is in compliance with Federal NEPA regulatory requirements,State of Minnesota regulatory requirements,and best practices for all disposed materials.The materials of concern include, but are not limited to: • Used fluorescent lamps • Other lamps containing mercury such as high intensity discharge lamps • Lighting ballasts(PCB-containing and non-PCB containing) • Mercury-containing devices(such as thermostats) • Used oil • Both oil-based and water-based painting products • Used appliances and building system equipment Part of the sample waste management plan that was provided in the RFP is below. Also,entities are reminded that if you have not already provided information regarding the year each of your project buildings were constructed,you must do so as soon as possible.Additionally,all buildings'B3 energy tracking must be brought up to date.The monthly data will be an important tool in order to track and report on the energy changes after the improvements are made.We cannot move on to preparing the grant agreement until these and all other necessary components are complete. Lamps(SAMPLE PLAN) Used fluorescent lamps represent one of our most common waste streams for building management wastes with thousands being recycled annually.The process starts with our front line staff changing out fluorescent lamps either individually as they fail or in blocks based on access and timing or energy upgrade needs.The lamps are stored in accordance with Environmental Protection Agency universal waste regulation 40 CFR part 273 including storing them in containers with labels describing the contents and the start date of accumulation.The accumulation guidelines for each site vary and are mainly limited by storage capacity and amount of lamps generated.Some sites can only store a few hundred lamps and others can accumulate two to three thousand lamps before needing to send them out for recycling. The standard storage time for accumulating universal waste is 12 months and the maximum storage time is 24 months for facilities generating nominal waste.When it is time to recycle the lamps,facility staff contact the hazardous materials coordinator in the Workplace Safety and Environmental division.The coordinator ensures that the Facilities staff have either provided or completed the information for the recycling vendor's document(site,address,contact information,contract,number and type of lamps and other items for recycling,and special instructions).The hazardous materials coordinator e-mails a copy of the completed information to the recycling vendor and Facilities contacts needing the recycling pick up. The vendor coordinates the date and time of pick up with the given facility staff and leaves them with the appropriate recycling documentation at the time of pick up.Sometime after the pick up the hazardous materials coordinator receives,reviews,and approves the recycling invoices and related documentation. Examples of documents in the lamp recycling process include: • Cover sheet for hazardous materials recycling contract • Vendor"Pickup Request" 1 •Vendor"Certificate of Recycling and/or Disposal" • Vendor invoice Note: Please give as much pertinent detail as possible about all of the possible wastes that may be involved within the activity categories you have decided to make available, in your offering.

These materials were released on Dec 14t", 2009.The Department is seeking relatively quick turnaround for applications and as such eligible cities must provide two sets of documentation: 1. Notice of Intent to Apply for funds-due Jan 15t", 2010. 2. Full Application due Jan 25t", 2010. In an effort to access some level of funds, as the City of Oak Park heights is not an entitlement City such as Woodbury, St. Paul and other larger cities that are guaranteed funds, the City must submit a competitive application.The maximum the City may request may not exceed $1 00,000 for one (or multiple) projects. Possible Use of Funds: Some possible programs that could be implemented include elements achieve the g oal for better energy efficiency in City operations and/or in new developments as part of the public infrastructure elements. o The City can begin with a survey of the Greenhouse Gas Emission (Carbon Footprint) for the City's municipal facilities and equipment. This will be used to establish the base year for City energy use, or in other words creating a benchmark for the City's current efficiency and emissions.This will be beneficial as a means of determining Green House Gas (GHG) reduction progress.Additionally, the City should establish this baseline now with the "old" City hall as part of that baseline. • Page 138 of 152 0 Oak Park Heights tNllfy��'_>ii Z,40;. + Request for Council Action Meeting Date: January 12th.2010 Time Required: ti Minutes _._......_ Agenda Item Title: Consider Grant Ap ieatioi.—EECBG—MN Dept of Energy Security_ Agenda Placement: New Business .

When the City of Duluth enrolled in the Cities for Climate Protection (CCP)Campaign, it committed to addressing the global climate change issue at a local level.The CCP consists of a five milestone paths aimed at quantifying and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.The City prepared its initial greenhouse gas(GHG) inventory in 2001, reaching its first of five milestones.The following year,the City established a municipal GI-IG emission reduction target,thereby attaining the second milestone in the CCP process. City growth has undoubtedly varied from projections, and GHG emissions accounting methods have evolved in the eight years since preparing the first Duluth GliG emission inventory. Before formulating a Local Action Plan(the third CCP milestone), Duluth wishes to update its GHG emissions forecast, based on an updated 2008 base year inventory. GHG EMISSIONS INVENTORY AND FORECAST INFORMS LOCAL ACTION PLAN The City of Duluth seeks a qualified consultant to develop the • updated base year inventory and perform GHG emission projections out to the year 2020. The consultant will be charged with documenting the process and results In a report that will be presented to the CCP Advisory Committee.This information will be used by the committee to develop a Local Action Plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

We have examined how Bonestroo,as a builder of communities,an employer,and a corporate citizen, impacts these elements.The following topic areas and associated philosophy define how Bonestroo understands the challenges we face, and how our operations can provide solutions. ENERGY Safe, clean,and affordable energy is necessary for maintaining healthy human and natural environments. Poor choices regarding the source and use of energy can result in environmental degradation, political instability,and economic hardship.As we build communities and operate our company, we are guided by two key objectives: use energy as efficiently as possible; and Identify • and use energy sources that do not negatively impact our climate, environment, and ability to prosper. ECOLOGY Viable ecosystems with clean air and water are essential to health and quality of life for all. Responsible stewardship helps preserve clean and abundant natural resources for future generations. In our work,we seek to form synergies between built and natural environments as well as protect,enhance,and advocate for these resources. MATERIALS Everyday decisions are made about materials used to operate our company and build communities. Uninformed choices can result in unnecessary waste, depletion of resources,and inefficient energy use. Our approach includes assessing life-cycle environmental, social,and economic impacts for every material selection. CLIMATE Land use,transportation,and the built environment are among the largest contributors to global climate change.The way we operate and the decisions we help clients make affect these contributors. Using the tools of community and transportation planning,natural resources protection,and building design,we seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to safe levels. S Page 152of152 CITY OF DULUTH CITIES FOR CLIMATE PROTECTION CAMPAIGN REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL PROFESSIONAL SERVICES TO UPDATE THE CITY OF DULUTH GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS INVENTORY Issued 5 November 2009 All proposals are due by 2PM, Thursday,December 3rd, 2009. Purpose: The purpose of this project is to update the City of Duluth Greenhouse Gas Emissions Inventory and Forecast Report. The City of Duluth will contract for the professional services of a Consultant to update the 2001 Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Forecast Report using 2008 as the base year and 2020 as the target year. The updated inventory will meet requirements for fulfilling the City of Duluth's commitment to the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives (ICLEI) Cities for Climate Protection Campaign(CCP). The updated inventory will be used to evaluate,monitor and verify progress on work considered and undertaken toward reducing emissions. Background: In.May of 2001,the Duluth City Council passed a resolution to participate in the Cities for Climate Protection Campaign(CCP) sponsored by the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives(ICLEI www.icleiusa.org). The City of Duluth joined with over 110 cities in the United States, and more than 500 worldwide, to make a commitment to addressing global climate change at the local level. A Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Forecast Report(hereafter referred to as the 2001 Report)was completed in.October 2001 as the first step in the 5 Milestone process outlined by ICLEI for cities participating in CCP. In 2002 Milestone 2 was completed when the Duluth CCP set a reduction target of municipal emissions of 20%by the year 2020. In December,2008,the Mayor of Duluth formalized a document defining the structure, organization and guidelines of the CCP Advisory Committee(also referred to in this document as the Committee). This document(attached)outlines the responsibilities of the CCP Advisory Committee and the City in advancing the progress of the 5 Milestones defined by ICLEI in the CCP process. Scope of Work: The Consultant will update the 2001 Report using the ICLEI Clean Air and Climate Protection(CACP) Software 2009,Version 2.1 and the ICLEI Local Government Operations Protocol (LGOP) for the quantification and reporting of greenhouse gas emissions inventories,Version 1.0. The CCP Advisory Committee will provide the Consultant with a hard copy and electronic copy of the 2001 Report and an electronic copy of the LGOP. The City of Duluth will provide the Consultant with the CACP software and a hard copy of the ICLEI LGOP. City of Duluth/CCP ghg rfp/4 Nov 09 1 The Scope of Work will be broken down into three Tasks,defined in this document. Task 1.Update the greenhouse gas emissions inventory for the 2008 base year; Task 2.Forecast greenhouse gas emissions for 2020 target year; and Task 3. Creation of the Report. Task 1.Inventory This inventory will be an estimate of emissions from all sources within the City as well as an estimate of the proportional amount of emissions from indirect sources that contribute to air quality within the City of Duluth. Greenhouse gas emissions will be estimated using the categories and assumptions as established in the 2001 Report. The inventory will be conducted using the ICLEI CACP software,and organized and guided by the LGOP. The emissions inventory will categorize emissions by all sectors as documented in the previous report together with any additional requirements set forth in the ICLEI LGOP. The consultant will compare the categories in the 2001 report to those outlined in the ICLEI LOOP and the CACP Software,noting and reporting any discrepancies to the Committee. The consultant will provide monthly reports to the Committee on progress made and problems encountered. The consultant will be provided access to member-resources located on the ICLEI website and to ICLEI technical assistance. Task 2.Forecasting The consultant will update the greenhouse gas emissions forecast for the target year of 2020,using the ICLEI CACP Software and accompanying LOOP. The consultant will project greenhouse gas emissions for the target year of 2020 based on the projected growth in population and the projected increase in employment in the region. The consultant will use socio-economic forecasts for the City of Duluth available in 2008. Task 3. Creation of the Report The consultant will write the Report according to the format used in the 2001 Report and any other requirements designated in the ICLEI protocol(LOOP). A draft of the new report will be submitted and presented to the CCP Advisory Committee for review and the consultant will attend a meeting with the Committee to discuss the draft of the report prior to completion of the final report. City of Duluth/CCP ghg rfp/4 Nov 01 2 • Concurrent with the development of the final report, the CCP Advisory Committee will be undertaking the initial development of the Local Action Plan for the City of Duluth. The consultant will incorporate information, including potentially a status report, provided by the CCP Advisory Committee from their work-to-date in the development Local Action Plan into the final report. The final report will be provided and presented by the consultant to the CCP Advisory Committee and the City Council. Timeline The consultant will assist the Committee and any other City employees designated in establishing a timeline for deliverables to include the following: • Project Start-up and trial run of ICLEI CACP software—tentatively set for February 1, 2010 • Data&Information Gathering • Monthly Reports to the Committee on progress made and problems encountered • Forecasting future emissions • Report Preparation • Submission of Draft Report to Advisory Committee • Presentation of Draft Report to Advisory Committee • Preparation of Final Report,including incorporation of Local Action Plan • Presentation of Final Report to Advisory Committee—tentatively set for October 19, 2010 • Presentation of Final Report to Duluth City Council for adoption Minimum Qualifications • proficiency with Microsoft Office Program • demonstrated familiarity with technical concepts of and technical language relating to energy, energy quantification, greenhouse gas emissions, and greenhouse gas emissions quantification • demonstrated proficiency in technical writing Proposal Submission Requirements • resume • three letters of recommendation or references • demonstration/description of relevant experience • detailed description of not less than 2 and not more than 5 examples of relevant work,including contact information for a reference for each project • description of any and all members of consultant's proposed project team • proposed fee for defined scope of work Note: The total budget for professional services for the Contract for services as defined in the RFP will not exceed$18,000.00.

Coordination issues? If yes what's our solution and benefits to the client? .St Bon s 1 PROPOSAL Work Plan Bonestroo's seasoned project team has an in-depth understanding of the global climate change issue, greenhouse gas emissions accounting principles, and municipal planning processes. We are prepared to carry out the specified scope of work outlined below. This section describes our approach to accomplishing the project tasks, and the deliverable associated with each task. While what we do—the end product—is critical to the project's success, how we do itis also important. Bonestroo is committed to operating in an ethical and sustainable manner that recognizes the importance of our social and environmental impacts, as well as the financial bottom line. Appendix A is a concise statement of our sustainability philosophy. PRIMARY TASKS AND APPROACH TASK 1:BASE YEAR 2008 INVENTORY Guided by the Duluth's 2001 inventory, Bonestroo will construct a 2008 base year GHG inventory conforming to the ICLEI Local Government Operations Protocol for quantifying and reporting greenhouse gas emissions inventories(Protocol). As with the 2001 inventory, emissions will be computed for the total"Community" and for municipally-owned facilities(the"Corporate"inventory). Version 2.1 of the Clean Air and Climate Protection (CACP) software (2009)will be employed for building the inventory. To the extent compatible with Protocol, Bonestroo will employ the categories and assumptions used in the 2001 GHG inventory report. Specific steps are: 1. Review 2001 inventory report and assess GHG emission categories and assumptions for conformance to Protocol. 2, Advise the CCP Advisory Committee of discrepancies between the 2001 inventory's categories and assumptions and those specified by the Protocol.This report will include Bonestroo's recommendation for reconciling each such discrepancy. 3. Upon receiving the Advisory Committee's guidance on resolving any discrepancies, Bonestroo will configure the CACP software accordingly and prepare a corresponding information needs matrix. The matrix will identify information needed to develop the 2020 GHG emissions forecast. 4. Bonestroo will mine publicly available sources and files provided by the City to collect the requisite information needed to prepare the 2008 base year GHG inventory and the 2020 GHG forecast. Any Bonestroo 2 remaining data needs will be identified in a letter-report to the CCP Advisory Committee, along with Bonestroo's recommendation for filling in the gaps using engineering judgment, literature values, and assumptions. 5. Following receipt of the Committee's guidance on how to address any data gaps, Bonestroo will use the CACP software to prepare an updated 2008 GHG emissions base year inventory. Emissions will be calculated for carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. Emissions will also be expressed in terms of CO2e, taking into account the global warming potential of each component and normalizing them in terms of equivalent carbon dioxide. Bonestroo will document the inventory, its assumptions, and the development process in a transparent report. The CACP files and computational spreadsheets used to support the inventory's development will be provided as an electronic supplement to the inventory to facilitate future updating, if desired. TASK 1 DELIVERABLES ▪ Monthly progress reports to the CCP Advisory Committee • Letter-report on discrepancies between the categories and assumptions used in developing the 2001 GHG inventory and the requirements of the Protocol • Letter-report identifying any unavailable information from the suite of data required to develop the 2008 base year inventory—and Bonestroo's recommendations for addressing those gaps ▪ Fully documented 2008 base year inventory, including electronic files TASK 2: 2020 GHG EMISSIONS FORECAST Bonestroo will use the CACP software to project the 2008 base year inventory forward to the year 2020, based on available Duluth socio-economic forecasts.This will supersede the 2001 report's forecast based on US Department of Energy's generic energy use projections. As a value added component, one of Bonestroo's municipal planning professionals will review the previously prepared socio- economic forecast to ascertain whether it still provides a suitable basis for the GHG forecast. If the ongoing economic recession or other factors are likely to have materially affected the accuracy of the socio-economic forecast, Bonestroo will recomniend modifications to those values, or that a range be used to bracket the likely outcomes. Upon receiving the Advisory Committee's guidance on using the previously prepared socio-economic forecast or Bonestroo ■r Bonestroo 3 modifications, the 2020 GHG emissions forecast will be computed using CACP. TASK 2 DELIVERABLES • Letter-report to CCP Advisory Committee on the suitability of the existing socio-economic forecast as a basis for the 2020 GHG emissions forecast,with recommendations for improvement, if warranted • Fully documented 2020 forecast of greenhouse gas emissions, including electronic files TASK 3:GHG INVENTORY AND FORECAST REPORT Bonestroo will draft a report, documenting development of the base year GHG emissions inventory, 2020 forecast, relevant assumptions, and procedures. For consistency, the report will follow the same format as its 2001 predecessor—supplemented as necessary to conform to Protocol. The report will also document other material used by the CPP Advisory Committee as they develop the Local Action Plan. Bonestroo will interact with the Committee to accurately report the status of the Local Action Plan development process. Bonestroo will present the draft report to the Committee for discussion at a Committee meeting. We will then finalize the report, addressing Committee's comments. Five copies of the final report, including supporting material (in hard copy or electronic format, as appropriate)will be delivered to the City. Bonestroo will present the final report to the Committee and the City Council in a meeting at which the Council will be asked to adopt its findings. TASK 3 DELIVERABLES • Draft report • Committee meeting participation to receive feedback on draft report * Final report package • City Council and Committee meeting presentation of final report OPTIONAL TASK AND APPROACH TASK 4:NON-GHG ASR POLLUTANTS--INVENTORY AND FORECAST Under this optional task, Bonestroo will expand the scope of Tasks 1 and 2 to encompass a 2008 base inventory and 2020 forecast of "criteria pollutant"(nitrogen oxides, sulfur oxides, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, and particulate matter) emissions, in addition to the greenhouse gases. Bonestroo 4 Version 2.1 of the Clean Air and Climate Protection Software has the capacity of estimating emissions of criteria pollutants, as well as those of the greenhouse gases.The incremental effort involved in performing these computations is minimal. While not relevant to the Climate Change issue, the emission of criteria pollutants is a matter of public heath and therefore a proper subject for public involvement. Access to accurate current criteria emissions and projections of future emissions may prove valuable to elected officials as they weigh policy alternatives. Since they are not relevant to the CCP effort, Bonestroo does not propose including criteria pollutant emission inventories and forecasts in the project report. PROJECT ASSUMPTIONS Bonestroo's proposal, including the cost estimate included in the compensation section, assumes the following: m The City of Duluth will be responsible for copies of the 2001 GHG inventory and report • The City will provide Bonestroo a copy of Version 2.1 of the Clean Air and Climate Protection Software • The City will provide the previously-prepared 2008 socio-economic forecasts • The existing, City-provided socio-economic forecasts will constitute an adequate basis for the 2020 GHG forecast with, at most, minor adjustments to address recent economic changes • The data required to drive the CACP software will be provided by the City or will be otherwise publicly available SCHEDULE Bonestroo is prepared to commence this project upon the City's authorization. Assuming the City authorizes the project by February 1, 2010, the final report will be available for City Council adoptions in October 2010. Our proposed project schedule can be found on the following page. We are committed to adjusting the schedule as needed to meet City's overall goals and objectives. oft BOrleSt100 5 PROPOSAL Project Team EXPERIENCED TEAM READY TO WORK FOR YOU Bonestroo has assembled a seasoned team of extremely capable air quality and municipal planning experts to assist the City of Duluth further its CCP commitment. Our proposed project manager and support staff are adept at using emissions inventory methods and forecasting software. Our team brings a proven track record of strong oral and written communication skills—skills that will provide effective project execution.The key project staff are introduced below. Resumes are included on the following page. The core team is supported by more than 350 Bonestroo professionals, with skills covering GIS, civil design and survey, municipal planning, and graphic design. RICHARD H.OSA,QEP—PROJECT MANAGER As project manager, Mr. Osa will have overall responsibility for meeting project objectives, maintaining the schedule of deliverables, and managing the project budget. He will be the City's primary point of contact with Bonestroo. Rick's GHG involvement extends back to 1990, when he served as Global Climate Change Issue Manager for a major electric utility. Subsequently, he has provided GHG consulting support to research and industrial organizations, in addition to providing general environmental management services. His notable projects include: Conducted a recent organization-wide inventory of greenhouse gas emissions, encompassing four industrial and office facilities in three states = Developed greenhouse gas and other air pollutant emission algorithms for long-haul diesel trucking; algorithms were incorporated in the client's data base so they could compute carbon footprint associated with each cargo segment(The client was a fuel aggregator, serving all of North America) = Represented Global Climate Modeling Research Consortium at Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro = Provided broad technology transfer services to the Electric Power Research Institute's Global Climate Change Program; products included a series of printed Climate Briefs, software applications, workshops, and seminars • Assessed greenhouse gas and other air quality implications of transportation electrification for Electric Power Research Institute; developed targeted research agenda to address knowledge gaps .4 ' ' year 7 JAY M.DEMMA-PLANNER MARKET RESEARCH Mr. Demma will be responsible for reviewing Duluth's existing P 9 9 socio-economic forecast for adequacy before it is used as the basis for the 2020 GHG emissions forecast(Task 2). For more than 13- years, Jay has been conducting and analyzing socio-economic studies as they relate to community planning and land use. His proven experience will provide you with an informed measure of how accurate Duluth's existing socio-economic forecast is or what steps can be taken to cost-effectively update the study. Jay routinely reviews socio-economic forecasts and updates them based on the latest data available, such as construction statistics, unemployment rates, migration patterns, etc. For example, Jay recently developed a housing demand model for communities along the Iron Range that incorporated forecasted job growth, current unemployment rates, and housing availability. JAMES E.MILLER-CLIENT SERVICE LIAISON Mr. Miller will serve as the project's senior reviewer, responsible for the overall quality of all work products. Mr. Miller will serve as a second point of contact for the City. Jim has worked off and on for the past ten years with the City of Duluth's utility staff. Most recently he helped review the wastewater system user system and research user profiles of the Duluth residential and commercial groups. His established relationships with City staff and knowledge of your community position him to effectively communicate and deliver to your expectations. In addition, his knowledge of the utility staff's equipment and processes means he has a handle on how reducing gas emissions impacts the day-to-day life of your utility staff and what's practicle and what's not. 44 'a ne tr o 8 PROPOSAL Experience and References Bonestroo has extensive experience helping local governments identify and address a broad range of issues—perhaps none with greater long-term consequence than that of global climate change. Following are some relevant example projects that demonstrate Bonestroo's track record and qualifications to excel at developing Duluth's GHG inventory, projection, and report. RELEVANT PROJECTS PERMACEL CORPORATE GREENHOUSE GAS INVENTORY REFERENCE: Mr.James Slovak, Project While at another firm, Rick Osa managed the initial greenhouse gas Engineer inventory of Nitta Denko s Permacel Divisions four North American 1990 Rutgers University Blvd. facilities. Scope 1 and 2 emissions were quantified for the 2007 Lakewood,NJ 08901 base year. In addition to fossil fuel combustion, greenhouse gas James_Slovak @Permacel.com emissions resulting from the combustion of industrial solvents in air Ph: 732-901-7905 x 410 pollution control equipment were calculated.This project was completed in March 2008. LONG-HAUL TRUCK CARBON FOOTPRINT ALGORITHMS While at another firm, Rick Osa managed and served as the technical lead to develop algorithms for computing cargo transport greenhouse gas emissions. The initial phase developed computational methods for assessing the emissions associated with each leg of long-haul semi truck transport. This allowed the client, a North American fuel aggregator, to provide their customers with cargo-specific carbon footprint data. As a low-cost enhancement, the algorithms were extended to provide corresponding information on criteria pollutants. A linear programming approach was also developed to guide inter-modal transport decisions. This project was completed for a confidential client in December 2007. CITY OF ST.PAUL—FORD PLANT RE-USE STUDY Bonestroo is currently working with the City of Saint Paul on a research study examining the potential to reuse the Ford assembly plant, which is slated to close in 2011, for green manufacturing. REFERENCE: In addition to assessing the site's attributes and available Ms. Merritt Clapp Smyth workforce, the study will specifically examine five industries that City Planner City of St.Paul have been identified as having strong growth potential: HVAC Ph: 651-266-6547 control systems, sensors and monitoring systems, biofuel manufacturing components, electric/hybrid vehicles or components, and wind power components. This project was completed in August 2009. 9 PROPOSAL Compensation Bonestroo proposes to provide the tasks and deliverables outlined in our work plan for a lump sum fee of$16,000.

We therefore believe a commitment to sustainable practices, both internally and externally, must be inherent to our culture and is vital to our success. We understand that sustainability is not simply protecting natural areas, but addressing three key elements: social progress, economic prosperity, and environmental protection. We have examined how Bonestroo, as a builder of communities, an employer, and a corporate citizen, impacts these elements.The following topic areas and associated philosophy define how Bonestroo understands the challenges we face, and how our operations can provide solutions. ENERGY Safe, clean, and affordable energy is necessary for maintaining healthy human and natural environments. Poor choices regarding the source and use of energy can result in environmental degradation, political instability, and economic hardship. As we build communities and operate our company,we are guided by two key objectives: use energy as efficiently as possible; and identify and use energy sources that do not negatively impact our climate, environment, and ability to prosper. ECOLOGY Viable ecosystems with clean air and water are essential to health and quality of life for all. Responsible stewardship helps preserve clean and abundant natural resources for future generations. In our work, we seek to form synergies between built and natural environments as well as protect, enhance, and advocate for these resources. MATERIALS Everyday decisions are made about materials used to operate our company and build communities. Uninformed choices can result in unnecessary waste, depletion of resources, and inefficient energy use. Our approach includes assessing life-cycle environmental, social, and economic impacts for every material selection. CLIMATE Land use, transportation, and the built environment are among the largest contributors to global climate change.The way we operate and the decisions we help clients make affect these contributors. Using the tools of community and transportation planning, natural resources protection, and building design, we seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to safe levels. SOCIAL CAPITAL Social networks are valuable because they contribute to productivity and human well-being. Ensuring that the built environment strengthens and broadens these networks involves preserving human cultures and history, improving social interaction, providing a sense of place, and maintaining physical and mental health. In our projects and operations, we strive to maximize positive social interactions and provide equitable access to resources and opportunities. ECONOMIC DECISION-MAKING Monetary costs alone are not adequate to evaluate the effects of institutional decision-making. At Bonestroo we make sound decisions by considering all costs and benefits—economic, environmental, and social. We challenge ourselves and others to adopt such a triple-bottom-line approach. IMPLEMENTING THE VISION We implement this philosophy through our three primary corporate functions; Internal Operations, Project Work and our Influence in the Marketplace. We have developed specific goals within each of these functional areas to guide and measure progress. This list will continue to evolve as some are met, or new goals are developed. Progress will be monitored and assessed at regular intervals. In striving for steady and meaningful progress toward more sustainable practices we will: INTERNAL OPERATIONS Align our day-to-day operations with our desire to be stewards of the environment, socially responsible, and fiscally-sound. • Educate all employees about our commitment to sustainability, and provide them with tools to implement this commitment and educational opportunities to broaden their understanding. PROJECT WORK Continuously deliver project work that emphasizes reducing environmental impact, encouraging social responsibility, and maintaining cost effectiveness by adhering to our Philosophy on s sustainability and group-level best practices. $ Advocate the use of sustainable practices to clients by providing the full range of social, environmental and life cycle impacts for each alternative available. MARKETPLACE INFLUENCE • Strive to be leaders and trusted resources in sustainable design and planning. Work with partners who understand our commitment to sustainability, and to the greatest extent possible, share our philosophy. Bonestroo 12
