This request for proposals for Sustainability Planning Assistance is an important part of a project that responds to the
resolutions adopted by Council as well as the recommendations of the Auditor. The objective of this project is to
create a comprehensive sustainability plan for all of Metros internal operations that will enable Metro to manage
internal operations in a way that will support a thriving economy, healthy environment, and community vitality. The
Plan will identify sustainability impacts of Metro operations in all five goal areas (waste, toxics, water, greenhouse
gasses, and habitat), create benchmarks for monitoring progress, and prioritize projects that will enable Metro to meet
or exceed the five sustainability goals set by the Metro Council. Metro seeks technical assistance in five areas (listed
in the Scope of Work below) that will support the creation of the Sustainability Plan.
