RESOURCE DIVERSITY Clause Samples

The RESOURCE DIVERSITY clause establishes requirements or expectations for the use of a varied set of resources within a project or organization. In practice, this may involve mandating that teams utilize personnel from different backgrounds, employ a mix of suppliers, or ensure a range of technologies are considered in project execution. The core function of this clause is to promote inclusivity, innovation, and resilience by preventing over-reliance on a single type of resource and encouraging broader participation or input.
RESOURCE DIVERSITY. Another component of the RFO Goals evaluation criterion is resource diversity. Attachment K of PG&E’s 2011 solicitation protocol cited “Resource Diversity benefits” as a non-quantitative factor identified in CPUC Decision ▇▇-▇▇-▇▇▇ that could be considered in Offer selection. PG&E made an effort to increase the resource diversity of its energy mix by altering the value cutoff point below which it rejected Offers. For example, the PG&E team chose to accept baseload generation Offers that were valued below proposals for intermittent generation that were rejected. In a sense, the team chose to create a short list that is quite diverse in resource type (rather than, say, one technology) by applying the valuation criterion differently for different resources, rather than selecting only the highest-valued proposals that had acceptable viability. This will likely result in PG&E contracting with a diverse mix of baseload and peaking, and firm and intermittent resources, at a higher cost to ratepayers than only contracting disproportionately with one type of resource at lower cost.

  • CULTURAL DIVERSITY The Cultural Diversity Requirement generally does not add units to a student's program. Rather, it is intended to be fulfilled by choosing courses from the approved list that also satisfy requirements in other areas of the student’s program; the exception is that Cultural Diversity courses may not satisfy Culture and Language Requirements for B.S. students. For example, COMM 6 – Intercultural Communication, can fulfill (3) units of the Behavioral Science requirement and (3) units of the Cultural Diversity requirement. This double counting of a class may only be done with the Cultural Diversity requirement. Courses in Cultural Diversity may be taken at the lower- division or upper-division level.
