Integrating Sustainability. For each of the tasks, the coalition will strive to integrate aspects of sustainability to the maximum extent practicable. For example, reductions in the environmental footprint can include: • Utilizing fuel efficient vehicles and carpooling for travel; • Reducing miles traveled while conducting site work with trip chaining; • Purchasing or leasing more sustainable equipment, supplies, and services; • Implementing sustainable materials management practices (reduce, reuse, recycle); • Considering efficiencies to traditional travel, including hosting virtual core team meetings with coalition partners and the consultants; and • Implementing practices that directly reduce water, materials, climate, energy, or air impacts.

Integrating Sustainability. The City and the contractor selected to complete project tasks will priotize sustainability when considering approaches to cleanup activities. Some approaches may include: Utilize fuel efficient vehicles Reduce miles traveled while conducting site work Purchase or lease more sustainable equipment, supplies, and services Implement sustainable materials management practices (reduce, reuse, recycle) Consider efficiencies to traditional travel or consider alternatives Consider other practices that directly reduce water, materials, climate, energy, or air impacts
Integrating Sustainability. Whenever possible, the city will instruct its contractor to utilize resources with the lowest possible environmental impact. Reducing waste, reducing vehicle miles traveled or using public transit, implementing sustainable materials practices, and recycling materials where possible will also be encouraged. The City of Beaverton’s Sustainability Department will be engaged as an advisor in this effort.
