Daniel Smith January 25, 2010 Page 2 concepts to policy and program formulations. Dan was the Project Manager for the recently- completed Martinez CAP. He successfully managed this project to completion despite a minimal budget, producing a plan through an open public process that is uniquely tailored to that City's physical forrn, needs, and resources. As Director of our Renewable Resources group, I will act as Project Director, and will ultimately be responsible for the City's satisfaction with our performance and work products. I was a major contributor to the City of Martinez CAP, and I have a strong background in climate change, including evaluation of carbon - related risks and opportunities, carbon footprint analyses, GHG inventory design and development, emissions quantification, reduction strategies, public reporting, and GHG inventory verification. I have assisted more than twenty members of the Califomia Climate Action Registry (CCAR) as a developer or as a Lead Verifier of their GHG inventories. I also have expertise in GHG programs and accounting protocols at the state, national, and international levels, including the AB -32 reporting requirements, the WRI /WBCSD GHG Protocol, The Climate Registry (TCR), and U.S. EPA's Climate Leaders Design Principles and associated guidance. ESA is a Bay Area -based firm, with an office in Oakland and our headquarters in San Francisco. We have a long history of working with East Bay cities, including Pleasanton, since our inception 40 years ago. I believe you will find that ESA and our teaming partners are exceptionally well - qualified to perform the work outlined in the RFP, and that our proposal is responsive to the specific requirements of the RFP. We will deliver quality work products on time and within the approved project budget. ESA is unaware of any real or apparent conflict of interest involved with this proposed project for the City. If any potential conflict of interest arises during the course of the work, ESA will notify City before undertaking future assignments that would result in an apparent conflict of interest. I hope that you enjoy your review of our proposal, and we eagerly await your response. If you should require any further information or clarifications, or would like to discuss revisions to our proposal, please do not hesitate to contact me or Dan Sicular at (415) 896 -5900. Sincerely, Jeff Caton, P.E. Dan Sicular, Ph.I). Director, Renewable Resources Group Senior Managing Associate
