Executive Directive: I. Production 1. Beginning April 1, 2008, consistent with the environmentally preferable purchasing policy adopted by the Committee on Information Technology (COIT), departments shall only purchase personal computers, notebook computers and monitors that meet at least the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) Silver standard with a preference for the Gold standard. 2. For all ICT equipment not currently rated according to EPEAT standards, such as computer servers, printers, routers, the City’s Office of Contract Administration will propose application of standards to guide environmentally preferable purchasing practices in consultation with the Chief Information Officer (CIO) and the Department of the Environment. These standards will seek to minimize levels of toxic components, ensure the highest level of energy efficiency, facilitate end-of-life recycling, and minimize unnecessary packaging. 3. The City’s CIO shall develop a framework for considering the environmental impacts of new technology projects in consultation with COIT, the Department of the Environment and the Public Utilities Commission. COIT, using its technology budget review function, shall ensure that technology projects are reviewed for environmental impact and support the City’s environmental goals. |
