8. Shifting Contract Model Propose to have bulk of measure review and development done in-house by RTF staff Staff maintains flexibility to contract out portions of measure updates as necessary – Ex. Research on cost of LED products Contract out 3 rd party review of workbooks and protocols updated by RTF staff Several workplan items still contracted out – i.e. research projects, tool development, etc.

9. Shifting Contract Model - Pros Reduces number of contracts to manage RTF staff retains in-depth knowledge of workbooks and underlying methodology Maintains consistency and look of work products Able to better prioritize measure development based on RTF needs 3 rd party review of workbooks lends credibility

10. Shifting Contract Model - Cons More staff will be needed to perform work – Current workplan indicates 6 contract staff needed total, so 2-3 more hired on to supplement current staff Staff may not be able to get as much work done in same amount of time Might not find enough qualified/eager staff

11. Discussion Does proposed contracting model make sense for workplan? Review draft workplan and associated budgets for each itemworkplan

12. Next Steps Send comments/questions to RTF Staff – Comments will be posted on webpage under 2013 Draft Workplan Come back in October to develop a workplan recommendation for Council
