LONG-TERM SUSTAINABILITY PLAN SUPPORT CONSULTING

The Town of Manchester will be accepting proposals from qualified individuals or firms to provide assistance to the Town’s Sustainability Commission with the development of a greenhouse gas inventory and an assessment of goals included as part of a draft Long-Term Sustainability Plan (“the Plan”).

The Town of Manchester requires the assistance of a sustainability or environmental science consultant that can provide expertise in the calculation of greenhouse gas emission inventories and identification of greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction techniques/strategies and their efficacy. Knowledge of environmental justice and equity and inclusion opportunities is desired.

The objective is, at the conclusion of this process, to obtain a greenhouse gas emissions inventory for all major Town operations, with additional calculations of the potential impacts on GHG emissions that specific actions and goals/targets included in the Plan aim to address.

The Manchester Sustainability Commission is a 15-member body made up of appointed residents and assisted by a dedicated Staff Liaison. The Commission was formally established via Board action in March 2020, and is responsible for recommending initiatives and improvements to Town policies and programs to ensure that Manchester remains a thriving, efficient, healthy and vibrant place for its residents of today and tomorrow. The Commission is currently in the process of drafting a formal Long-Term Sustainability Plan.
