RFQ Process The City is conducting the following four steps for this RFQ in the paragraphs that follow. Past performance with the City will be considered when qualifying firms. 1. Request for Qualifications 2. Request for Proposals 3. Entering into agreement 4. Design,permitting, Construction,Operation Step 1: Request for Qualifications This RFQ is the first step to entering into agreement with the City for the landfill waste that is not permitted under the current City of Port Arthur Landfill Permit. It is the City's intent to review all Statement of Qualifications(SOQ's) submitted and short list a maximum of three (3) qualified Firms. The short-listed firms would then receive a Request for Proposal. It is anticipated that notification of the shortlisted firms would occur approximately 1 month following RFQ submission. Step 2: Request for Proposals The Request for Proposal will contain a proposed draft contract agreement (agreement) for review and comment by proposers. Firms would provide constraints, requirements, or exclusions to the draft contract agreement required to execute their business models.The waste that is not permitted under the current City of Port Arthur Landfill Permit would also include the Firm's monetization"best price" offered to the City 6 of 8 for the waste that is not permitted under the current City of Port Arthur Landfill Permit on a price per unit basis. If agreeable to the City,the most beneficial proposal could then be selected for the City to enter into a proposed agreement with the Firm, with the agreement terms including the Firm's markups considered binding. It is anticipated that notification of the selected Firm would occur approximately 2 months following RFP submission. Step 3: Enter into Agreement The agreement framework is anticipated to be similar to the following: Term of duration — The term anticipated is 20 years including 1 year for design, and 1 year of construction/startup to arrive at the"Beginning of Operation Date". It is anticipated that the Firm will have 20 years to_design, permit and operate the Facility to arrive at the end of the useful life of the equipment installed. This shall be the end of the contract term as stipulated in the agreement. At the end of the contract term,the City shall have the option to take one of the following actions: • Purchase all equipment, pipeline and easements, and all spare parts, utility drops, improvements to the leased land,etc.at"fair market value"as determined by a third party. This would presumably be done to assume operations and maintenance of the equipment and process. • Enter an extension or renewal of the contract with the Firm with any significant items to be renegotiated as needed. • Instruct the Firm to remove all equipment and return the leased property to its original state at no cost to the City. Payment terms—Payment terms will begin at the"Beginning of Operation Date". The Firm shall pay for all waste taken on a unit price basis to be stated within the agreement. The payment terms will include increases for escalation via a referenced metric to use to calculate payment throughout the project. Land Lease Terms—Because this agreement will have a finite duration, and because it is anticipated to require development on land leased from the City,the terms of the land use and terms for demolition and/or turning over the developments on the land shall be stipulated in the agreement.If available,the City would lease nearby property for$1/year for the duration of the project. Additional Items regarding this project's agreement: • Firm would install infrastructure for their required utilities and would pay for all their own utility consumption through the duration of the agreement. • Firm would install,permit,operate,and report to regulators any required excess gas flares or waste gas flares. • The condensate resulting from any gas treatment would be captured and is the Firm's responsibility to dispose of. It is anticipated executing the agreement will take 2 months following selection of the best proposal from Firms. Step 4: Design,Construction, Operation 7 of 8 The Firm shall be wholly responsible for performing operations, preventative maintenance, corrective maintenance, furnishing consumables, and maintaining all necessary regulatory compliance required to keep the waste facility in operation. It is anticipated to require 1 year for design and permitting of the Firm's waste and required supporting infrastructure. It is anticipated to take 1 year to construct the waste facility and required supporting infrastructure and conduct startup activities.

Each selected firm will be notified and will be provided further instructions. Firms are encouraged to provide suggested improvements/changes to the Project Scope to better enhance the process. RFQ Process The City is conducting the following four steps for this RFQ in the paragraphs that follow. Past performance with the City will be considered when qualifying firms. 1. Request for Qualifications 2. Request for Proposals 3. Entering into agreement 4. Design, permitting, Construction,Operation Step 1: Request for Qualifications This RFQ is the first step to entering into agreement with the City for the landfill waste that is not permitted under the current City of Port Arthur Landfill Permit. It is the City's intent to review all Statement of Qualifications (SOQ's) submitted and short list a maximum of three (3) qualified Firms. The short-listed firms would then receive a Request for Proposal. It is anticipated that notification of the shortlisted firms would occur approximately 1 month following RFQ submission. Step 2: Request for Proposals The Request for Proposal will contain a proposed draft contract agreement (agreement) for review and comment by proposers. Firms would provide constraints, requirements, or exclusions to the draft contract agreement required to execute their business models.The waste that is not permitted under the current City of Port Arthur Landfill Permit would also include the Firm's monetization"best price"offered to the City 6of8 for the waste that is not permitted under the current City of Port Arthur Landfill Permit on a price per unit basis. If agreeable to the City, the most beneficial proposal could then be selected for the City to enter into a proposed agreement with the Firm, with the agreement terms including the Firm's markups considered binding. It is anticipated that notification of the selected Firm would occur approximately 2 months following RFP submission. Step 3:Enter into Agreement The agreement framework is anticipated to be similar to the following: Term of duration — The term anticipated is 20 years including I year for design, and 1 year of construction/startup to arrive at the"Beginning of Operation Date". It is anticipated that the Firm will have 20 years to_design, permit and operate the Facility to arrive at the end of the useful life of the equipment installed. This shall be the end of the contract term as stipulated in the agreement. At the end of the contract term, the City shall have the option to take one of the following actions: • Purchase all equipment, pipeline and easements, and all spare parts, utility drops, improvements to the leased land,etc.at"fair market value"as determined by a third party. This would presumably be done to assume operations and maintenance of the equipment and process. • Enter an extension or renewal of the contract with the Firm with any significant items to be renegotiated as needed. • Instruct the Firm to remove all equipment and return the leased property to its original state at no cost to the City. Payment terms—Payment terms will begin at the"Beginning of Operation Date". The Firm shall pay for all waste taken on a unit price basis to be stated within the agreement. The payment terms will include increases for escalation via a referenced metric to use to calculate payment throughout the project. Land Lease Terms—Because this agreement will have a finite duration,and because it is anticipated to require development on land leased from the City,the terms of the land use and terms for demolition and/or turning over the developments on the land shall be stipulated in the agreement. If available,the City would lease nearby property for$1/year for the duration of the project. Additional Items regarding this project's agreement: • Firm would install infrastructure for their required utilities and would pay for all their own utility consumption through the duration of the agreement. • Firm would install,permit,operate,and report to regulators any required excess gas flares or waste gas flares. • The condensate resulting from any gas treatment would be captured and is the Firm's responsibility to dispose of. It is anticipated executing the agreement will take 2 months following selection of the best proposal from Firms. Step 4:Design,Construction,Operation 7of8 The Firm shall be wholly responsible for performing operations, preventative maintenance, corrective maintenance, furnishing consumables, and maintaining all necessary regulatory compliance required to keep the waste facility in operation. It is anticipated to require 1 year for design and permitting of the Firm's waste and required supporting infrastructure. It is anticipated to take 1 year to construct the waste facility and required supporting infrastructure and conduct startup activities. At the completion of the 2-year period for design,permitting, construction,and startup,the"Beginning of Operation Date"shall be enacted in which receipt of waste that is not permitted under the current City of Port Arthur Landfill Permit shall commence as stipulated in the agreement. • All Firms submitting qualifications will be notified, upon final determination by the City,of the Firm or Firms selected to the short-list for interview to perform the requested work. NOTE:If the construction is completed before the 2 year estimated time schedule,the receipt of waste shall start at such date. SUMMARY: Firm must have a minimum of 10 years of experience in landfill construction,operations and management including waste other than municipal waste; Proven track record of successful joint venture partnerships with other municipalities; Experience with government relations,State and Federal,including permitting and regulatory compliance; In-depth knowledge of TCEQ and EPA regulations governing waste other than municipal waste; Strong technical,operations and management capabilities. n eft) l 8of8 Letter of Transmittal Submitted by: Environmental Industrial Services Group(EISG) RE: Port Arthur Landfill Expansion-RFQ P25-046 Date: May 14, 2025 To the City of Port Arthur,Texas: Environmental Industrial Services Group (EISG) is pleased to submit this Statement of Qualifications in response to the City of Port Arthur's Request for Qualifications (RFQ) No. P25-046 for the Study, Design, Permit, Construct, and Operate a Facility that will receive waste that is not permitted under the current City of Port Arthur Landfill Permit.

Business Model and Methodology Overview EISG utilizes a full-scope Design-Permit-Construct-Operate (DPCO) model that has been proven effective across multiple non-municipal waste projects throughout Texas. Our integrated approach ensures continuity from conceptual planning through long-term operations while maintaining compliance with all TCEQ and EPA standards. Our core model prioritizes: • Regulatory pre-engagement with TCEQ and local authorities • Risk-managed phased construction of Class I NHIW waste cells • Automated intake and haul tracking systems • Modular infrastructure that scales with site demand • Public transparency through dashboards, reporting, and quarterly review meetings Core Model Components: • Design: In-house and subcontracted engineering to develop Class I NHIW cell systems, leachate/gas collection, stormwater diversion, road access, and scales. • Permit: Early engagement with TCEQ and City permitting offices to manage submittals, hearings, and public reviews. • Construct: Phased development using modular cell systems to reduce up-front investment and ensure parallel operational start-up. • Operate: Fully automated intake, internal logistics, GPS-monitored equipment, and online client portals for real-time tonnage/revenue tracking. Roles: • EISG will serve as the lead developer, landfill operator, and waste logistics provider. • Tolunay-Wong Engineers (TWE) will oversee landfill design and geotechnical/permitting compliance. • Tetra Tech, as a subcontractor to TWE, will support environmental permitting, air monitoring, and operational compliance. Past Use of Model: • Waste-to-cell lifecycle projects for industrial oil&gas residuals in Texas (2022- 2024). • Grease/grit/wastewater facility with hauling and solidification integration .(Beaumont, TX). • Non-MSW waste stream treatment cell near San Antonio (ongoing). 2. Proposed Methodology for Port Arthur Our approach to the City's landfill expansion includes: • Phase 1: Engineering design, regulatory alignment, public engagement. r% • Phase 2: TCEQ/EPA submittals, cell design, access road construction. • Phase 3: Mobilization and phased cell construction, gas/leachate control systems. • Phase 4: Full operations by EISG with compliance monitoring and client onboarding. Technology Integration: • GIS tracking of fill progression and airspace. • Remote leachate and methane monitoring sensors. • Data dashboard shared with City for transparency. 3. Estimated Land Requirement To support operations and infrastructure for a non-MSW Class I landfill, we estimate the use of 25-30 acres, including: • Waste cells (phased) • Leachate/gas control infrastructure • Maintenance pad and access roads • Scale house and tipping pad • Stormwater and buffer zones All land would be leased from the City of Port Arthur for$1.00 per year as per RFQ guidance. No subleasing would occur. 4. Constraints, Exceptions, and Strategic Alternatives No Major Exceptions: We are fully aligned with the RFQ structure and do not request any deviations from regulatory, operational, or financial expectations. Proposed Enhancements to the Conceptual Framework: 1. Joint Oversight Committee: o Establish a City—Contractor review panel to meet quarterly. • Ensure alignment on intake rates, compliance reviews, and public transparency. rmiN 2. Adaptive Cell Design: • Modular cell expansion triggered by fill thresholds rather than fixed timelines. 3.

As McClelland Engineers lead offshore engineer for this Brown & Root project, Mr. Norstrom assembled personnel and material for mobilization from Houston to Brunswick, GA to board the MV R.L. Perkins (180-ft oilfield workboat with a Failing 1500 drill rig, moon pool, four anchors, drill pipe, sampling equipment, and portable soil sampling lab). For each of the eight borings from mudline to about 300 feet, he managed soil sample retrieval and testing(unconfined&triaxial compression, vane shear), logged test results, calculated 36-inch and 48-inch pipe pile capacity while the borings were advanced. Based on calculated pile capacity, he determined terminal depths for the borings. After four weeks of field work, he prepared an engineering report of findings and recommendations. lt TETRA TECH 4 Resume Jim Norstrom, PE Kuykendahl Road Extension and Spring Creek Bridge, Harris and Montgomery Counties, TX. Mr. Norstrom developed the scope which included eight sample borings for the 5,000-ft road extension and nine borings for the 1,100-ft long bridge. In the field, he supervised a contract drilling crew, classified soil samples, and measured depth of water. He assigned geotechnical lab tests, interpreted test results, and developed recommendations for flexible and rigid pavement sections (based on County Pavement Design Guidelines), roadway and bridge embankments, subgrade preparation, and structural fill placement. He determined allowable axial capacity of driven precast concrete piles and cast-in-place drilled shafts. He did settlement analyses for the bridge and associated embankments considering immediate (elastic) settlements of sands and clays and long-term (consolidation) settlement of clays. He prepared two detailed reports containing data, findings, and recommendations. Hydrofluoric Acid Plant Remedial Investigation & Corrective Action — Paducah, KY. As a geotechnical engineer with McClelland Engineers, Inc. in Houston, Mr. Norstrom managed this project that included evaluation, investigation, and corrective action recommendations for a Pennwalt plant that produced hydrofluoric acid (HF). Over several years, leaks in pipe systems allowed HF to leak onto concrete slabs and floors which dissolved the silica in the concrete creating holes through which HF seeped into underlying soils and foundations. Plant facilities experienced differential settlement due to HF-induced damage to footings.The project required a site specific safety plan for drilling and sampling crews to collect soil samples to determine the extent of HF migration. Mr. Norstrom prepared an engineering report of findings and recommendations that included providing HDPE-lined containments beneath HF pipe racks. Mr. Norstrom directed or participated in a variety of geotechnical engineering projects including: • 65-story Transco Tower(presently Williams Tower), Houston, TX—field engineer, monitoring • 56-story RepublicBank Center, Houston, TX—field engineer, monitoring • Diamond Shamrock Greens Bayou wastewater treatment plant expansion, TX—project manager He conducted several offshore geotechnical investigations, including: • Jack-up rig footing penetration study(Keyes 303)and production platform axial pile capacity analysis-Gulf of Mexico East Cameron Area, Block 341 —Texoma • Jack-up rig footing penetration study (Vicksburg) -Gulf Matagorda Island Area, Block 657L—Exxon • Pile-supported platform - Gulf of Mexico Main Pass Area, Block 102—Kerr McGee • Pile-supported platform- Gulf of Mexico West Cameron Area, Blocks 164 & 173—Tenneco • Pile-supported platform-Gulf of Mexico West Cameron Area, Block 613—Aminoil • Jack-up rig footing penetration study(Galveston Key) —Mediterranean Sea, Sfax, Tunisia—Pennzoil RCRA HAZARDOUS WASTE FACILITY AND GENERATOR EXPERIENCE Hazardous Waste Landfill Closure, LaPorte, TX. For McClelland's diet Diamond Shamrock, Mr. Norstrom managed preparation of a plan for waste exhumation and closure of a small hazardous waste landfill outside of Houston. Following plan approval, he monitored contractor activity and plan compliance, including soil cap removal, waste excavation, manifesting, and transport to an approved hazardous waste incinerator. He monitored the excavation until all wastes were removed, collected soil samples from the excavation base and sidewalls for laboratory testing to confirm that no residual organic contamination remained. Mr. Norstrom supervised placement and compaction of select soil and the landfill was successfully closed. Large and Small Quantity Generators, TX & LA. At UTLX railcar manufacturing facilities in Houston and Alexandria, Mr. Norstrom managed collection, storage, recordkeeping, inspections, and transport for disposal of hazardous (including universal) wastes in compliance with RCRA Large Quantity Generator, Small Quantity Generator, TCEQ, and LDEQ regulations. He prepared emergency response plans, responded to spills, and conducted annual RCRA training for all plant personnel. ENVIRONMENTAL DUE DILIGENCE eTh TETRA TECH 5 Resume Jim Norstrom, PE As Director of Environmental Due Diligence for Waste Management and predecessor companies, Mr. Norstrom conducted Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessments, permit reviews, and design and operations evaluations for the facilities listed below that were being considered for acquisition. Following his review, he wrote a report to management describing and quantifying risks, identifying restrictions to development and operation, remaining constructed and total waste capacity, short and long term capital costs and expenses, and opportunities to improve permit conditions and operational efficiency.
