Boulder County’s Office of Sustainability, Climate Action, and Resilience (OSCAR) seeks policy and

technical expertise from climate-adept organizations to inform and support local government

positions on state-level policy, especially pertaining to electrification. Additionally, OSCAR would

like to catalog the progressive local government policies Boulder County should consider relative

to our climate goals.

Boulder County recognizes that the greenhouse gas emissions impacting our community cannot be

addressed solely within our borders, so we have long engaged in state-level decarbonization policy

through coalitions that represent the needs of local communities. This RFP seeks to expand our

capacity by deploying technical expertise in crucial state-level policy precedents to benefit all public

policy efforts. For this RFP, Boulder County primarily focuses on the two largest sectors of Boulder

County’s GHG emissions profile, transportation and the built environment — especially on

electrification — where both local and state policies act. This RFPis for expertise to advise on

technical solutions, policy proposals to support those solutions, and advocacy approaches to enact

those proposals.
