(Rincon) is pleased to submit this Proposal to assist the City of Cupertino (Cupertino) with Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Inventory Support. We are enthusiastic about the opportunity to assist Cupertino with preparation of its 2021 communitywide and municipal GHG inventories, building on the Cupertino CAP 2.0 that Rincon assisted the City of Cupertino with and to assist the City with its CDP Cities reporting and commitment to the Global Covenant of Mayors. We look forward to utilizing the GHG inventory worksheet we helped develop for the Cupertino 2018 communitywide GHG inventory. We are excited about the opportunity to partner with your Cupertino Sustainability Team again in order to help report Cupertino GHG emissions, mitigate climate change, and draw down carbon from the atmosphere.
