This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Burlington, Ontario. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The successful proponent will work with a team of City staff to deliver the studies, the City's team will be led by the Corporate Energy and Emissions Coordinator and will also include Project Management, Asset Management, Operational and Financial staff as well as external maintenance contractors. The studies for each of the four buildings included must articulate one "GHG reduction pathway" selected through a comparison of four greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction pathway scenarios. The following scenarios will be used in these studies: A 10-year plan that achieves a minimum 50% reduction in on-site GHG emissions vs. current performance and a 20-year plan that achieves a minimum 80% reduction in on-site GHG emissions vs. current performance A "short-term deep retrofit" scenario: This includes the same GHG reduction measures as the scenario 1. except that all measures are implemented in the first two to five years (possibly through inclusion of additional funding and financing options such as Infrastructure Canada's Green and Inclusive Community Buildings program). A "maximum site potential" scenario: This targets the greatest reduction potential possible, independent of capital considerations An "optimized outcome" scenario: This considers cost-per-tCO2e targets, GHG reduction targets, and other qualitative and quantitative impacts optimized according to project proponent objectives The following are items to be included as part of the final scenario that is selected: Alignment with funding opportunities The final study document shall identify prospective national and regional incentives and funding programs for Capital Projects, including the Federation of Canadian Municipalities CBR GHG reduction pathway capital projects. Funding opportunities can inform capital planning for the GHG reduction pathway, and consideration should be given to any requirements or prerequisites for these incentives and programs that could be integrated into the scope of work for this study. Future work preparation The measures identified in the selected GHG reduction pathway scenario will be taken to the design brief stage of the design process. When the deep energy retrofits are scheduled to take place, the final deep energy retrofit studies and design briefs will be used for the basis of the future schematic design. Broader sustainability and resilience analysis It is understood that GHG reduction pathway scenarios will have other qualitative benefits (e.g. occupant comfort) or non-energy/GHG benefits (e.g. water savings) that may be important to the project proponent and other key stakeholders. Study teams are encouraged to integrate these considerations into a broader decision-making process. The project proponent may also consider aligning the study outcomes with climate resilience planning (e.g. by applying a Climate Lens). This could include examining future weather and climate impacts (e.g. rising temperatures or flood risks) and assigning qualitative or quantitative value to measures that improve resilience. Facilities Included The facilities chosen to undergo deep energy retrofit all have major building and site elements up for renewal in the next 3-5 years such as parking lots, windows and other building envelope elements and heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems.
