This week consisted of looking at the professional service section under the new guidance on the Sustainable Purchasing Leadership Council. On the website of the SPLC Community, there were example surveys presented by cities in Oregon and Nova Scotia. I composed a list of pros and cons for each of the surveys in which Mr. Bruskotter and I were aiming to eventually hand out to the vendors to collect more data regarding the sustainable practices which they engage in. From analyzing these charts and the responses we received from the week prior, I started to look into some of the options for carrying out the survey.
Later on in the week, the Office of Sustainability offered for me to take part in the City's summer Olympics and represent their team. It was a nice break from the many hours of research that I had been putting in to create a prototype of the survey. My supervisor and I met up afterwards in our local coffee shop to discuss some of the charts that I had made from the Planet Bids website. From this we established priority lists for the city in terms of which professional service could have a significant environmental impact. We then planned to make a list of contact information for the members within the different departments that the city was going out to bid on for these specific services.
