A-Lined Assessment™

The Greenroads A-Lined Assessment offers planners and designers a chance to work at the earliest stage of project development to determine how to align your project with sustainable planning and design principles.

The assessment is designed to answer some common questions including:

• How do sustainable design and construction principles align with goals of our agency, clients, potential funders, or local sustainability mandates? 
• How can we achieve recognition through Greenroads for this project?

An A-Lined Assessment can be completed at ANY TIME during the project lifecycle, even in early planning stages, during alignment selection, or even for completed projects.

The fee for this service is $1495. Letter writing (suggested conditions below) is additional at $400 per letter.  We may charge additional fees for travel and communication of approximately 10% for international projects.

How Does It Work?

Choose any project that you would like us to review and we will tell you how your project scores, "as-is" - this means, as it is presented. This Assessment allows us to identify credits and requirements that may potentially be achieved and the project's potential certification level, if any. Additionally, we'll let you know the strengths and weaknesses of the project in each Greenroads category, compare your project to the performance of other Greenroads projects, and identify any potentially innovative Custom Credits.

Eligibility

There are no minimum eligibility requirements for this service.

What's Included?

The A-Lined Assessment includes:

• Review of up to 3 project documents that are no more than 200 pages each
• A phone interview and follow up calls with the Project Team
• A brief technical memorandum to the Project Team including recommendations to integrate sustainability into the project
• Registration of your project and listing in the Project Directory*
• Website access for uploading documents
• Assessment of the project score based on documentation provided, including a completed Greenroads Scorecard.
• Discount on project certification if pursued later

A customized letter of recommendation from Greenroads can be included with the technical memo for projects that are currently pursuing specific grants or funding. This letter states the results of the assessment and the project's potential for certification and involves us doing some extra research on your behalf to understand the terms of each grant opportunity.

Will We Review a Confidential Bid Proposal?

Yes! You may submit a project for A-Lined Assessment that is currently being proposed in response to a RFP. We fully respect and honor all requests for confidentiality. If your project is confidential (i.e. in a competitive bid), let us know when you submit your free screening application, and we will omit it from the public listing in the Project Directory.

Note that our staff operates fully independently of your potential competitors and we do not share your information with others, or the owners.

International Queries

Greenroads welcomes inquiries from agencies, owners and companies anywhere in the world.  We may charge additional fees for travel and communication of approximately 10% for international projects.
