CONCURRENT SESSION DESCRIPTIONS
1:15 pm – 2:30 pm Sustainable Infrastructure
Tis session will present a series of case studies for sustainable infrastructure:
Oakland Airport In December 2009 Terminal 2 at Oakland International Airport (OAK) became the first air passenger terminal in the U.S. to achieve the “silver” level of LEED certi- fication. Ex amples of “green” features in the [project include: diversion from land- fills of more than 78% of jobsite waste; wa- ter conser vation measures yielding 24% less water use than in a similar convention building; energy efficiency measures that exceed California energy standards by 25%; and advanced storm water treatment system that removes pollutants before the water reaches the San Francisco Bay; and a Green Housekeeping program to reduce environmental and health impacts of cleaning products and chemicals used in the terminals.
Zero Waste for Cities Te City of San Francisco is leading the nation with its Zero Waste programs and has set the bar high for reducing GHG emissions and keeping municipal solid waste out of landfills. In 2009, the City implemented a Mandatory Recycling and Composting Ordinance (the Ordinance) and in 2010, achieved 77% landfill diver sion, exceeding its goal for the calendar year. Te next target is 95% diversion by 2020. Achieving this target requires a concerted effort to remove organic materials from the waste stream, which consequently lowers emissions of landfill methane – a powerful GHG.
Revitalization of Urban Neighborhoods through Sus tainable Design Tis portion of the session will discuss
the forthcoming revitalization of the urban landscape through the application of sustainable design, as it stands to be the central focus of the construction and design industry in the next five years. Given the unstable economy and banks halting lending to new construction projects, the session will address why the reuse of existing infrastructures is both an economical and practical next step to transforming cities across the country.
High Speed Rail and the Future of Cali fornia’s Transportation Landscape As the nation’s largest infrastructure project, California’s high-speed rail project will create good, new jobs throughout California, improve air qual ity and provide residents with a cheaper, faster and more convenient way to travel throughout the state.

Accessing Federal Cooperative Programs
10:45 am - noon Introduction to GSA Cooperative Programs
Presented by the U.S. General Services Administration, this session will high- light federal programs open to coop- erative participation by state and local governments in California, providing practical examples of green products and services with an emphasis on IT, security and energy management.
Presenters: Liz Belenis Slater, Customer Service Di- rector, General Service Administration David Lampert, Customer Service Director, North Coast, General Services Administration
1:15 pm – 2:30 pm Perform Green Market Re- search Using GSA Acquisition e-Tools
Once you have a basic understanding of the federal cooperative programs open to California state and local governments, take a deeper dive into how to find and buy the green products and services available through these programs using GSA’s suite of acquisition e-Tools. Cast the widest research net, then refine your searches to fit the salient characteristics of your requirement by using three powerful tools together: GSA Advantage!®, eBuy and eLibrary.
