The vendor will develop an Action Plan that includes a defined greenhouse gas mitigation strategy, building upon existing technical work to create a formal, strategic roadmap that can provide actionable information which TUSD can use to decarbonize, achieve even greater reliance on renewable energy sources for cooling, electricity usage, and heating, and reduce, mitigate, or offset all other greenhouse gas sources by 2040, or sooner if possible, while maintaining reliable utility services to campus. Strategies for consideration and/or reviewed should include, but not limited to: • Decommission natural gas stationary combustion – cogeneration systems, boilers, etc. • Electrify or phase out all internal combustion engines, including vehicles, golf carts, maintenance machinery, emergency back-up generators, etc. Careful considerations include electrical charging infrastructure in overall planning. • Procure onsite renewable energy and expand offsite renewable energy and the associated environmental attributes for all remaining/additional school campus needs. • Increase the use of ground- and air-source heat pumps, biofuels, and integrated thermal energy storage. • Reduce single occupancy/fossil-fuel-based commuting to and from all properties, support a phased adoption of electrification of student and employee vehicles. • Reduce waste and improve diversion. • Reduce overall energy demand across the school district
