The Services required under this Contract shall consist of a review of GHG emissions, energy
and financial modelling in accordance with the following:
(a) Updated community-wide energy and emissions inventory that aligns with the 2011
baseline year;
(b) Determination of additional mitigation measures or refinements to currently planned
measures that will be required to take the City beyond 2030 and to its 2050 target of an
80% reduction in GHG emissions;
(c) Forecast of energy and emissions under two different scenarios: a) business as usual; and
b) Winnipeg’s Climate Action Plan (including the additional and refined actions beyond
2030);
(d) Estimation of the costs and benefits to the City of implementing the WCAP (including
additional and refined actions beyond 2030) and provision of recommendations.
D4.2 The Consultant will provide the Project Manager with a work plan for the Project. The work plan
will include (at minimum):
(a) Schedule with proposed dates for key milestones, reports and meetings. This will include
anticipated timelines for data collection, document review, meeting preparation and other
processes and deliverables;
(b) Roles and responsibilities of the Consultant and the Project Manager;
(c) Considerations regarding representation, roles and responsibilities for the City Internal
Working Group (CIWG) and Technical Advisory Group (TAG);
(d) Potential risks to project budget and schedule and discussion of associated contingency
plans;
(e) Deliverable:
(i) Detailed work plan
D4.3 Community Energy and GHG Inventory
(a) The Consultant will produce an updated community energy and GHG inventory that will
reflect current best practices in GHG accounting and reporting of community-wide GHGs. It
will be consistent with the Global Protocol for Community-Scale GHG Emission Inventories
(GPC Protocol).
(b) The Consultant will work with the Project Manager to confirm that will be included in the
inventory. The Consultant will be expected to collaborate with the Project Manager on how
best to align the emissions inventory approach, metrics and data sources with useful
indicators. This will include discussion on how to incorporate the City’s 2011 GHG
inventory into the Project.
(c) The Consultant is expected to identify potential gaps in data or information, uncertainties,
limitations and risks of the Project, and to suggest process or methodological
improvements that they believe could more effectively achieve the objectives of the
Project.
(d) The Consultant will describe the methodology including data requirements and sources,
format, assumptions and limitations and provide a description of how the data will be used,
along with any other process considerations that may need to be implemented (e.g., data
sharing or confidentiality agreements).
(e) Deliverables:
(i) Detailed inventory data collection plan that describes methodology including data
requirements, sources, format, assumptions and limitations and other relevant
information. This plan will also identify the parties (Consultant, Project Manager)
best placed to undertake the collection of each data set.
(ii) Upon completion of the work, a summary report of energy consumption and GHG
emissions by sector broken down into as much detail as is feasible. This will be
accompanied by visualizations appropriate for public communication purposes.
(iii) Upon completion of the work, an electronic tool that is accessible to City staff and
can be used (to the extent feasible) for ongoing modelling and planning purposes at
no future cost (e.g., license, technical support) to the City. The Consultant will
provide appropriate training and technical support to the Project Manager to
accomplish this.
(iv) Upon completion of the work, a technical manual with instructions on how to operate
the electronic tool, and a detailed description of data inputs (i.e., energy
consumption data, conversion factors, emission coefficients, etc.). This manual will
describe sources, assumptions and limitations, organization and manipulation
procedures and inventory methodology
