Objective\
This scope outlines specific areas of technical assistance support to be provided to the City of Burnsville, MN under the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Communities to Clean Energy (C2C) Expert Match Program.\
Background\
The City of Burnsville (population of 63,900) is a dynamic Twin Cities community located in Dakota County, Minnesota. The community has a historical economic dependence on fossil fuel industrial facilities, environmental justice considerations, such as moderate to high exposure to pollution or toxins and is identified as disadvantaged on the U.S. Department of Energy{\textquoteright}s Disadvantaged Communities Reporter. Guided by its 2009 Sustainability Guide plan and its recent 2020 Sustainability Plan, the city has been pursuing a vision of {\textquotedblleft}long-term sustainability through multiple projects that help reduce greenhouse gasses and energy use; protect water sources and nature; and promote the benefits of {\textquoteleft}being green{\textquoteright}.{\textquotedblright} As part of this vision, the city is pursuing the goals of improving city-owned building energy efficiency by 10\% electricity and 7\% natural gas and achieving 100\% renewable energy for all electric use for city-owned facilities. Two efforts contributing to these goals include replacing a heating ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system at the Heart of the City parking ramp and the potential installation of rooftop photovoltaic (PV) at Fire Station 1.\
DOE C2C Program\
The C2C program is a DOE-funded effort designed to provide technical support to communities transitioning to clean energy and more sustainable energy economies. The planned program design includes an "Expert Match" technical assistance program, through which the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) and other national laboratories will provide tailored technical assistance to communities. A typical request will include 40{\textendash}60 hours of technical support on a topic where expert assistance is critical to the community making an informed clean energy decision.\
