Climate Action Plan

The City of Oakley is requesting proposals from qualified consultants to provide professional services to assist the City with the creation of its Climate Action Plan (CAP). This Request for Proposals (RFP) is intended to provide interested firms with general information regarding expectations for a professional services agreement (Agreement) to be awarded and the submission process.

The Oakley City Council adopted the City of Oakley Strategic Plan 2022-2027+ (SP27+) in April of 2022. The SP27+ revisits what is important to the diverse communities and recalibrates the City's collective priorities. The SP27+'s Community and Economic Development Goal states "[t]he City of Oakley will inspire and encourage Community & Economic Development through strategic and thoughtful growth, a business-friendly environment, and local employment opportunities." Within that goal are several sub-goals, one of which is the Strategic and Thoughtful Growth Sub-goal. That sub-goal includes seven objectives, each split into multiple bullet points. One of the objectives is to "Enhance Environmental Stewardship," which includes a bullet point to "[i]mplement energy, air quality, and greenhouse gas emissions goals within the Oakley General Plan, including the adoption and implementation of a Climate Action Plan by 2025 that complies with State greenhouse gas reduction targets." Adoption of the CAP by 2025 that complies with State greenhouse gas reduction targets is also addressed in Policy 6.2.4 and Program 6.2.B, which fall under Goal 6.2 "Energy, Air Quality, and Greenhouse Gas Emissions" of the Oakley General Plan.

The City of Oakley adopted a Strategic Energy Plan in the Fall of 2015 and Greenhouse Gas Emission (GHG) Emissions Inventories for both Community-Wide and Local Government Operations emissions in 2005. An update to the GHG Emissions Inventories was done in 2010 (under single cover). The City has made steps towards meeting goals found in the General Plan and documents mentioned herein; however, it does not have a mechanism in place for effectively or efficiently tracking that progress. The CAP update will include an updated GHG emissions inventory, reduction targets consistent with State targets, and an implementation and monitoring strategy.

The City anticipates the CAP update process to span approximately one year and result in a consultant cost not to exceed $100,000 (One Hundred Thousand dollars).
