Port Angeles Climate Resiliency Plan
Introduction
The City of Port Angeles (the City), along with the consultant team led by Cascadia Consulting Group
(Cascadia) will be preparing a greenhouse gas inventory, public outreach and participation plan, and
climate resiliency plan.
Scope of Services Purpose
The overall purpose of this Scope of Services is to define Consultant services to provide assistance in
managing Public Outreach and completing a Community and Municipal Greenhouse Gas Inventory and
Climate Resiliency Plan for Port Angeles. This Scope of Services will also provide for the necessary
management oversight of the project.
The following major tasks will be completed by Cascadia:
Task 1 – Kick-Off Meeting & Project Management
Task 2 – Public Outreach & Participation Plan
Task 3 – Community & Municipal Greenhouse Gas Inventory
Task 4 – Climate Resiliency Plan
Assumptions:
1) Cascadia reserves the opportunity to shift budget between work tasks and the subconsultant tasks
upon written notice to the City’s project manager and their written consent.
2) The City will perform all Department of Commerce and other agency reporting requirements to
incorporate the Climate Resiliency Plan into the City’s Comprehensive Plan.
3) The City will provide final decision on the Greenhouse Gas Inventory base year.
4) Cascadia will act as project manager of volunteer group and report to the City’s project manager.
Task 1 – Kick-Off Meeting & Project Management
Task 1.1 Kick-off meeting
Cascadia will convene an initial kick-off meeting to help us understand the City’s climate efforts to date in
the context of the climate resiliency project and make key decisions regarding project methodologies,
scopes, and boundaries. The kick-off participants will discuss the project’s ultimate goals and outcomes,
and how to meet those outcomes through consultant team, City, external stakeholder, and community
participation. Cascadia will also work with the City to identify potential forums for public engagement,
explore existing community involvement and attitudes around climate planning, and identify
opportunities to dovetail this project with other City initiatives. As part of this process, the kick-off group
City of Port Angeles – Port Angeles Climate Resiliency Plan
Climate Resiliency Plan Page 2 Scope of Work
City of Port Angeles November 17, 2020
will discuss the City’s Comprehensive Plan and how best to structure the Climate Resiliency Plan to
integrate seamlessly with it.
Task 1.2 Finalized and approved project work plan and schedule
The result of the kick-off meeting will be that the City and Cascadia teams agree on key project elements
and roles, have a shared understanding of the project’s process and milestones. Cascadia will document
the results of the kick-off meeting in a final project work plan and schedule.
Project Work Plan and Schedule shall include:
1. Various tasks description, task ownership, output, and completion date associated with specific

City of Port Angeles November 17, 2020
Task 2 – Public Outreach & Participation Plan
Task 2.1 Public Outreach and Participation Plan Development
Inclusive and equitable community engagement is a central
component in how Cascadia approaches climate resiliency
planning. Inclusive engagement leads to more community
buy-in for planning outcomes and more effective and
equitable implementation, fostering a feeling of ownership
and investment that sets climate resiliency actions up for
long-term success. To ensure an inclusive community
engagement process, Cascadia will work with the City
(including City Council and the Planning Commission) and key
community leaders and volunteers on a Public Outreach and
Participation Plan. The following questions will be considered
in developing the Public Outreach and Participation Plan:
• Who has not historically had a seat at the table? What
groups are most vulnerable to climate impacts or at risk
of displacement due to City environmental policies?
• How will local partners be inclusively and meaningfully
engaged?
• How will barriers to participation be reduced? What are
the right messages and platforms to ensure that all
community members have the opportunity to be
involved?
• How will equity and social justice be reflected in the
policy framework and sustainability strategies developed
in this project?
This plan will directly inform how the City and Cascadia will engage businesses, local organizations,
suppliers, residents, and community volunteers throughout the climate planning process. This strategy
will be tailored to meet the City’s goals and available level of resources and will serve as the foundation
for public engagement across all phases of the climate planning process.
The Plan will give the City a detailed framework in implementing effective community outreach and
engagement, and Cascadia will provide additional support and assistance to ensure robust community
engagement. Through the development of the Public Outreach and Participation Plan, Cascadia will
identify engagement needs to support Tasks 3 and 4.
Task 2.2 Workplan for Community Volunteer Group Management
The Public Outreach and Participation Plan will provide a detailed workplan to ensure regular
communications and collaboration for coordinating with the City, the project team, and community
Cascadia’s Engagement Approach
For over 27 years, Cascadia has built
trusted partnerships, valued different
perspectives, and engaged across cultural
barriers and diverse viewpoints to help
people of all backgrounds come together
to forge innovative new responses to
environmental problems. Cascadia has
made it our mission to inclusively and
equitably inspire and empower
communities, and see this ownership—
the direct involvement of those who are
impacted by the policies at hand—as the
core of the civic experience. Cascadia is
practiced in creating spaces for sharing
every voice around the table (or on the
screen) in deliberation, no matter their
attitudes or where they fall on the political
spectrum, and achieving outcomes in the
form of recommendations that
participants feel proud of. Cascadia does
not seek attention in this role; we are
simply part of the container within which
people of all backgrounds can come
together, learn, deliberate, and build
solutions from the ground up.

City of Port Angeles November 17, 2020
Task 3 – Community & Municipal Greenhouse Gas Inventory
This task will include five stages:
1. Emissions and demographic data collection and organization;
2. Data analysis through ICLEI’s ClearPath tool;
3. GHG inventory report which identifies top-emissions sources;
4. A presentation of inventory data and findings to City Council and Planning Commission; and
5. Clear and comprehensive City Staff training on inventory methodology and assumptions.
A timeline with projected completion dates for inventory deliverables will be included in the overall
project workplan created in Task 1. Additionally, inventory timelines and progress will be outlined and
monitored in the data collection checklist.
Task 3.1 Inventory Methodology Confirmation
Cascadia will develop a comprehensive data collection checklist for the community and government
operations inventories that is compatible with ICLEI’s ClearPath tool and serves as a traceable record of
data sources for future inventories. The checklist will be built around the requirements and organization
of the U.S. Community Protocol and the Local Government Operations Protocol to facilitate easy transfer
into ClearPath.
Assumptions
1) If sufficient local data is not available through surveying and public engagement, Cascadia will use
regional or national estimations, as stipulated by the U.S. Community Protocol and Local Government
Operations Protocol.
Task 3.2 Data Collection
Cascadia will work with the City and volunteer group to help locate and transcribe data owned by the City
and provide contact information for outside data sources, when available. This data collection phase will
include solicitation of two types of data: 1) Activity data, such as kWh and vehicle miles traveled; and 2)
Emission factors, such as utility-specific emissions profiles or regional eGRID values.
Emissions Source Potential Data Collection Source(s)
Scope 1
Heating fuel consumption Activity Data: City of Port Angeles Public Utilities; other vendors as applicable
Emissions Factors: Utility-specific emission factors, if available; U.S. Community
Protocol default fuel emission factors
Solid waste disposal and
facilities
Activity Data: Port Angeles Landfill, Waste Connections of Washington,
Washington State Department of Ecology, and waste haulers
Emissions Factors: Washington Department of Ecology waste characterization
studies, local landfill/utility data if available
In-boundary transportation:
passenger and commercial
vehicles, water transport
Activity Data: Regional Travel Demand Model, if available; the Port of Port
Angeles, Black Ball Ferry Line, Clallam Transit (county public transit authority),
Peninsula Regional Transportation Planning Organization, EPA MOVES model
Emissions Factors: EPA MOVES model
City of Port Angeles – Port Angeles Climate Resiliency Plan
Climate Resiliency Plan Page 6 Scope of Work
City of Port Angeles November 17, 2020
Using the tools created in the Public Engagement Plan (e.g., surveys and interviews), Cascadia will
coordinate closely with external agencies such as local community organizations and businesses to obtain
the most granular and up-to-date data possible for a robust and informative inventory.
Assumptions
1) All inventory and activity data will be compiled and summarized in an Excel data management
workbook and then uploaded into ICLEI’s ClearPath tool for analysis.
Task 3.3 Perform Inventory and Prepare Inventory Report
Cascadia will assist the volunteer group to conduct a greenhouse gas inventory that includes
communitywide and City operations emission and will prepare a Greenhouse Gas Inventory Report that
summarizes the methodology and findings of the community and municipal inventories.
Assumptions:
1) All inventory data will be organized into file folders and summarized into one comprehensive Excel
workbook that will be delivered to the City:
a) The workbook will be thoroughly reviewed for quality control, neatly organized for ease of use, and
carefully documented for transparency and replicability. For example, we typically begin each of
our Excel workbooks with a hyperlinked table of contents to facilitate navigation and understanding
of individual inventory components and datasets. Cascadia has a quality control (QC) team that will
review all quantitative products to ensure accuracy and consistency.
b) To ease entry into ClearPath, the workbook will correspond directly to ClearPath’s sector-specific
calculators.
c) The workbook will highlight the data necessary to calculate emissions in ClearPath.
d) The goal will be to provide the City with all the information needed to conduct subsequent
inventories accurately and efficiently.
Task 3.4 Staff and Volunteer Training and Hand Off
The following approach will be taken to ensure all information is accounted for and the City and
Volunteers are prepared and equipped to continue future greenhouse gas inventory work:
1. Complete file packaging: Cascadia will package all relevant documents into one organized place so
that City staff have intuitive, transparent, and streamlined access to all data sources and analysis files.
As needed, Cascadia will include files that provide step-by-step guidance for conducting the inventory,
such as PowerPoint slides with screenshots for each step. Cascadia has already created similar
materials using the EPA MOVES model to quantify non-road emissions sources.
Wastewater treatment Total Emissions: City of Port Angeles's Utility Services, Washington State
Department of Ecology, or U.S. Community Protocol’s population-based emissions
models
Scope 2
Electricity consumption Activity Data: City of Port Angeles Public Utilities (Electric Utility Fund) and Clallam
Public Utility District, as needed.
Emissions Factors: Utility-specific emissions factors, or EPA’s eGRID
Scope 3
Industrial process Total Emissions: The Port of Port Angeles, Port Angeles Log Yard, U.S. Community
Protocol’s population-based emissions models

Climate Resiliency Plan Page 7 Scope of Work
City of Port Angeles November 17, 2020
2. Detailed documentation: Cascadia will create a single comprehensive Excel workbook that contains all
the information needed to update the inventory, including contact information for data sources, step-
by-step methodologies, listed underlying assumptions, and transparent computations. If budget
allows, this file can also provide placeholders for future years so that future data collection and entry
is straightforward. Housing this information in Excel, rather than in a Word document, makes the
underlying data and methodologies easier to understand, reference, and update in the future.
Cascadia will also populate ClearPath with underlying assumptions and data documentation, and will
walk through the ClearPath tool with City staff to ensure that information is accessible and
understandable to future users.
3. Presentation of data: Cascadia will prepare a 10-15-slide PowerPoint presentation for up to two
meetings (City Council and Planning Commission). The final presentation will include GHG inventory
data, top sources and drivers, graphics, tables, and comparison to reduction targets. Materials will be
provided at least two weeks in advance for staff review and inclusion in the agenda packet.
4. Training sessions: Cascadia will sit down with City staff to go through each step of the inventory
process. Cascadia anticipates two, 1-2-hour sessions—one session to review the materials and the
methodology for the base year inventory that was completed and another session to test update
capacity using a mock year scenario. Cascadia recommends conducting the training with at least two
City staff members to ensure redundancy should future role or staffing changes occur. These training
sessions will be critical for ensuring that all documentation provides the necessary information for
updating the inventory over time; Cascadia anticipates needing to update guidance documentation in
an iterative manner as the trainings are conducted.

City of Port Angeles November 17, 2020
leading edge actions, organized by sector and strategy, to include in the Climate Resiliency Plan to meet
the City’s near- and long-term goals and targets.
After identifying a suite of potential strategies, Cascadia will utilize a high-level qualitative multi-criteria
analysis to arrive at a prioritized shortlist of actions for inclusion in the Climate Resiliency Plan.
After the multi-criteria analysis, Cascadia will prepare the final set of strategies and actions for City
and public review.
Assumptions:
1) Peer communities include but are not limited to Everett, Whatcom County, Kitsap County, Tacoma,
Bainbridge Island, and Renton.
2) The plan may be adjusted based on further research and client team input. To prepare the initial suite
of potential strategies, the Cascadia team will rely heavily on the pre-existing list of potential
strategies and actions, refining it to reflect strategies and actions that are the most likely to support
carbon neutrality and otherwise rank well in the multi-criteria analysis to generate the prioritized
short list of actions for inclusion in the Climate Resiliency Plan.
3) Anticipate prioritizing actions that contribute to the following high-level strategies:
a) Public transportation and land use—solutions that increase density in this sprawled city, develop
and incentivize non-car transport, and promote low-emissions travel.
b) Moving toward 100% clean and renewable energy through electrification of the building and
transportation sectors complemented with a transition to 100% clean and renewable electricity—
including both from the grid and from locally produced sources.
c) Increased energy conservation and efficiency in both the building and transportation sectors.
d) Across all the focus areas, include strategies that bolster the local green economy to sustain living
wage green jobs in Port Angeles.
4) Analysis will evaluate the following criteria at minimum
a) Impact, including emission reduction potential.
b) Feasibility, including degree of City influence over the action, level of community support,
required partnerships, regulatory constraints, and technological considerations.
c) Cost, including affordability to both the broader community and to City government.
d) Equity in the distribution of costs and benefits, including consideration of disadvantaged
populations.
e) Realization of co-benefits such as public health, quality of life, emergency resiliency, cost savings,
and alignment with other City priorities.
Task 4.2 Implementation Planning
The focus of the Climate Resiliency Plan’s goals and actions are ambitious, yet feasible by setting up
implementation pathways that are clearly defined, easy to follow, and have quantifiable metrics to
measure success.
Cascadia will provide the City a framework for ongoing monitoring and evaluation that includes
performance indicators.
