As a prime consultant, VRX completed a Phase I ESA of the two referenced
residential properties for the City of Fort Worth as they were being acquired
for flood prevention measures. VRX performed site walks from the public
areas surrounding the sites since access had not been obtained. Both sites
were being used as single family residences. The regulatory database package
did not reveal any Recognized Environmental Conditions (RECs) associated
with sites or surrounding properties. The structures on the two properties were
the original development of the sites based upon the historic aerials. Aside
from asbestos surveys, VRX recommended no additional environmental
investigations were necessary.

As prime, VRX completed a ASTM El 527-21 Phase I ESA of the Mahafy
39.67 -acre property. The property was contiguous to the Fort Worth Nature
Center and Refuge. The undeveloped site included one residential structure
and one structurally unsound residential structure. It had an abandoned
natural gas well with surface equipment and piping. Our site walk revealed
extensive dumping occurring on the property. Our results of the Phase I
recommended a Phase II ESA of the former gas well area where evidence of
discharges had occurred from the rusted surface equipment and investigation
of a former pond that appeared on the site during the gas drilling based upon
review of historic aerials. The pond was filled with unknown source material.

recommendations from our Phase I ESA (above project). The two Phase I
areas identified were the former pond location with a backfilling data gap, and
the abandoned natural gas well and surface equipment with visual evidence
of leaking. A total of 10 borings each with a collection of soil samples were
performed in these areas. We performed a Naturally Occurring Radioactive
Material (NORM) survey on the well, surface equipment, and piping using
a Ludlum Scintillator Detector. We analyzed the soils in the former pond for
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH)
and RCRA Metals. VRX analyzed the soils around the gas well area for these
plus chlorides. Encountered no groundwater. Project completed on time/budget.

As the prime consultant, VRX performed a Limited Phase I/Phase II ESA on
this 9.26 -acre facility prior to Zachry purchasing the property for a regional
office. Advantage Equipment Rental Company had used the property for a
yard and repair facility. The facility's original developer was Mustang Drilling
Company who used it for rig storage and repair during the Barnett Shale
exploration years. The site consisted of a 9,000 sf office building, 36,000
sf heavy equipment repair shop with eight bays and offices, machine shop
building, and 10,000 -gallons of diesel AST.
Prior assessment work at the facility had revealed an oil/water separator had
malfunctioned and impacted the soils around the repair shop. The current
owner had claimed the site was excavated and backfilled with non -impacted
soils.
The scope of services included installation of eight soil borings around the
perimeter of the shop, test pit excavations in areas of concern identified by
historic aerials, sampling of the on -site drinking well per EPAs National
Primary Drinking Water Standards (NPDWS) with Per -and polyfluoroalkyl
substances (PFAS), and Perfluorooctane Sulfonic Acid (PFOS) analysis,
asbestos containing material (ACM) survey of office building, sampling of the
soil in the septic spray field, and a compliance review of the on -site water well,
aerobic septic system, and AST for compliance with TCEQ regulations.

Ghost UST Removal I Irving, TX
Texas Sterling Construction

- 09/2022
In March 2022, Texas Sterling (TS) Construction Company (a contractor for
the Tarrant Regional Water District [TRWD]) encountered an unregistered UST
during bridge construction in the TRWD floodplain. The contractor removed
and disposed of the tank and over -excavated the "tankhold" and stockpiled
affected soil on poly sheeting, without TCEQ notification or guidance.
The contractor asked LCA (as a subconsultant) to profile and dispose of the
affected soil. LCA learned the history of the waste and submitted an Incident
Report Form on behalf of TS. Historical files on the fueling system were
incomplete, and TCEQ requested a complete APAR and TRRP closure. Lynn
Clark, CAPM, negotiated with the PST project manager and reconstructed a
historic timeline from old registration files. LCA conducted a targeted Phase
H investigation and convinced the TCEQ that PST closure was acceptable.
LCA produced a Release Determination Report (RDR) and in September
2022 received a No Further Action letter from the state. LCA saved the client
approximately $100K.

LCA conducted a multi -year investigation and corrective action at this City of
Dallas property. In a joint project with DART, the City of Dallas planned to
clean up this property and DART was to build the Bishop Arts Trolley Station.
As prime, LCA removed six USTs and identified 3 ft of free product, gasoline,
on the water table. Product recovery continued for a year, during which LCA
demolished the former service station, removed several thousand gallons of
waste oil, and put the site into the VCP. LCA ultimately secured risk -based site
closure (plume stability) under both the TCEQ's PST rules and TRRP.

This project was located on the DART ROW for the new DART Silver Line
commuter rail which connects Dallas/Fort Worth (DFW) International Airport
to seven cities and three counties. During auger drilling operations for a noise -
wall support shaft, the drilling contractor noticed a bump (approximately 8 ft
below grade) on the augers and pulled the augers from the hole. The borehole
(36 -in diameter) began to fill with a yellow fluid and a strong hydrocarbon
odor. VRX served as the environmental oversight and consultant for the project
constructor, Archer -Western Herzog, and was immediately notified of the
incident.
The line had not been identified on project maps or Texas 811 utility locates.
Within hours of the incident, VRX had dispatched a vacuum truck to start
recovery of the unknown material. The fluids were drummed and staged on
site pending finger printing and laboratory analysis. VRX oversaw recovery
operations performed over the next several days until fluid levels in the
borehole began to drop. Lab finger printing analysis revealed the liquid was
unleaded gasoline. The line was determined to be inactive and abandoned and
had not been properly purged. Excavation of the area was initiated, and repair
of the inactive, damaged line was completed. Approximately 100 cy of soil and
120 gallons of fluids were recovered. The soil was sent to a Class I landfill, and
the fluids were sent for recycling. Confirmation samples were collected and
analyzed, with final reporting to the TCEQ, and the case was then closed.

East Plum Creek Sediment Removal Action I Wichita Falls, TX
Confidential Oil Client ' ' 2020 — 2024
Tom Wynn; 918-977-4094
The client's property encompassed a 75 -acre parcel of land which operated
as an oil refinery from the 1920s until the late 1960s when the refinery was
demolished, and property use was transitioned into a bulk storage facility. The
facility is enrolled in the TCEQ Industrial and Hazardous Waste Corrective
Action (IHWCA) program.
In September 2020, As the prime consultant, GHD Environmental and
Consulting, Inc. notified the TCEQ via email that during routine quarterly Light
Non -Aqueous Phase Liquid (LNAPL) gauging and recovery efforts, a small
seep was observed on East Plum Creek. GHD's interim response measures
included sorbent pad and boom placement to ensure downstream portions of
the creek were not impacted during or immediately following rain events.
The client proposed to the TCEQ additional assessment of LNAPL conditions
via a Laser Induced Fluorescence (LIF) survey to determine the proper course
of remedial action to address LNAPL contributing to the seep to East Plum
Creek. In April 2021, GHD coordinated and oversaw the completion of a LIF
survey. GHD used the results of the LIF survey to conceptualize the subsurface
LNAPL plume believed to be contributing to the seep into East Plum. The
conceptual model identified areas that likely contained residual mobile LNAPL
in proximity to East Plum Creek.
Upon TCEQ approval of the RAP Addendum dated June 14, 2022, GHD on
behalf of the client conducted the following activities, to remediate and/or
control the LNAPL seep in the via source removal:
• Excavation of 4,000 cy impacted soils containing residual mobile LNAPL,
and likely contributing to the seep to East Plum Creek.
• Installation of an on -site land treatment unit on the vacant land within the
site boundary north of East Plum Creek to eliminate or mitigate LNAPL and
COC impacts to soil. The land farm -treated soils upon confirmation sampling
were used to backfill the excavation area and, in this manner, avoided the dig
and haul cost for 4,000 cy of impacted soils.
• Installation of an impermeable clay barrier within the excavation along East
Plum Creek to eliminate the groundwater to sediment pathway preventing
remanent mobile LNAPL and Chemical of Concern (COC) impacts to
sediment from the perched groundwater at the site.

dock. The geotechnical drilling contractor reported contaminated soils from the
borings being performed for the improvement project to the Convention Center
and the Commerce Street realignment. The area has historic contamination
issues dating back to the 1890s from the former Fort Worth Gas Light
Company and Gas Works. The services scope included the advancement of
seven borings in the loading dock area and along Commerce Street. The soils
were field screened using a Photo Ionization Detector for detection of VOCs. A
soil sample from each boring was analyzed for VOCs, TPH, and RCRA Metals.
Groundwater was not encountered in any of these borings. VRX completed the
field operations and reporting on time and within budget.

One of the dozens of ROW properties LCA assessed for the TEXRai1
commuter rail construction had been subject to historic dumping of highly
suspect material from commercial/industrial facilities. LCA's Phase II
ESA identified areas of soil contamination and the presence of a solvent
plume (PCE/TCE) across most of the property. LCA addressed the soil
contamination by excavation, but the groundwater plume was much more
involved. LCA prepared an APAR to address the solvent plume and performed
the following related work:
■ Installed 12 wells
• Performed pumping tests for groundwater classification
• Conducted groundwater monitoring
• Mapped groundwater gradient and contaminant plume isopleths
• Prepared hydrogeological model
• Established PCLE zones
LCA's Lynn Clark, PG, CAPM, ENV SP, researched EPA files and identified
an upgradient property as a Superfund waste management site. He also
discovered the historic presence of a bulk solvent AST that he determined was
the probable source of the solvent plume on the this property. TCEQ concurred
with LCA that the solvent plume was a pass -through circumstance; the plume
had also migrated beyond the subject property's boundary to more adjacent
downgradient properties. LCA prepared a MSD application that was approved
by the City of Fort Worth. Lynn met with the city councils of five additional
municipalities to secure Resolutions of Support for the MSD. TCEQ certified
the MSD and closed the site in 2019.

VRX'S PROJECT APPROACH & METHODOLOGY
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
The City of Fort Worth is seeking a qualified
environmental consulting partner to provide
responsive, on -call services supporting capital
improvement, infrastructure, and property -
related projects. VRX's Environmental
Department understands this contract's
primary objective is to deliver timely,
technically sound, and regulatory -compliant
environmental solutions, allowing the City to
effectively manage environmental risks while
maintaining project schedules and budgets.
VRX has been working for the City of Fort
Worth for environmental consulting under
the same parameters for almost five years
so there will be no learning curve needed.
We understand the City's protocols and we
know your preferences. For example, Senior
Project Manager James "Jim" Dingel,
PG, CAPM, CHMM, worked with the
City at the beginning of our current contract
to adjust our invoicing to better align with
the City's requirements. We strive to meet
stakeholders' and our clients' needs through
clear communication and prompt action.
VRX recognizes this is a high -profile, task -
order -driven, on -call contract requiring
rapid response, flexibility, and consistent
performance across a diverse project portfolio.
We have extensive experience supporting
similar municipal and infrastructure programs,
where multiple assignments must be managed
concurrently while maintaining clear
communication with stakeholders and strict

coordination
• Develop a task -specific work plan,
schedule, and budget for City approval
• Identify required personnel and resources
• Coordinate with City staff to confirm scope,
priorities, and deliverables
• PM Jim tracks task progress and reviews all
invoices
This structure ensures clear accountability,
efficient communication, and the ability to
manage multiple concurrent assignments
while maintaining full transparency with
the City. Please see VRX's Organizational
Chart and Key Staff Resumes in
Attachment Ain this SOQ document.
VRX'S METHODOLOGY
Quality Control/Quality Assurance
VRX maintains a robust QA/QC program
to ensure all deliverables are accurate,
defensible, and compliant with applicable
standards and regulations (ASTM, TCEQ,
EPA). Our QA/QC process includes:
• Use of standardized templates,
procedures, and checklists

data interpretations by the check, back -
check, and verify process
• Senior -level review and approval of key
deliverables
• Verification of field and laboratory data
quality (as needed by Joules Services)
• Adherence to applicable health, safety, and
regulatory requirements. VRX's EMR is
consistently less than 1.0.
• Tracking of document versions, approvals,
and submittals ensuring consistency and
accountability
This structured approach ensures consistency
across task orders and minimizes errors while
maintaining alignment with City processes.
Subconsultant Management
VRX will manage subconsultants as integrated
parts of our team, including remediation
specialists LCA Environmental, Inc. and
GHD Environmental and Consulting, Inc.

• VRX review of any deliverable prior to
PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
19v
submittal
This ensures seamless coordination and
accountability for all aspects of the work.
Coordination with Stakeholders
VRX understands the importance of effective
coordination with City staff, contractors,
regulatory agencies, and other stakeholders.
Our approach includes:
• Establishing clear communication
protocols with the City
• Participating in project meetings and field
coordination efforts
• Providing timely updates on progress,
risks, and findings
• Coordinating with regulatory agencies
(TCEQ, EPA) or attending meetings, when
directed by the City
• Delivering clear, concise documentation
suitable for both technical and non -technical
audiences
Our collaborative approach ensures
transparency and alignment with City
expectations. For example, we provide
immediate updates by phone if conditions
change and modifications will be necessary
Schedule Management and Timely
Delivery
VRX recognizes many assignments will be
time -sensitive and critical to project schedules.
To ensure timely completion, we will:
• Develop task -specific schedules aligned
with City priorities which can be critical on
Phase I/Phase II ESAs to meet any option
period or potential funding deadline
• Assure personnel availability and task -
specific schedule with either LCA or GHD
• Utilize efficient field investigation
techniques by carefully reviewing the scope
with any contractor that may be utilized
to ensure the contractor can deliver the
necessary results and documentation
• For longer term projects, track milestones,
deliverables, and project's financial
condition
■ Implement schedule recovery strategies,
including resource reallocation and
expedited efforts when necessary
Our experience supporting fast -paced
municipal projects ensures we meet deadlines
while maintaining high -quality standards. For
instance, utilizing alternative subcontractors
based upon their availability to complete the
project on time.
Construction Costs and Practices
VRX has supported projects requiring
integration of environmental services into
construction planning and execution. This
includes pre -construction assessments,
contaminated media management, and
construction -phase monitoring.
One of the keys to a successful project
(delivered on time and on budget) is prompt
and meaningful communications.
While the message may not be well
received due to the implications,
VRX will never allow the content of
a comment to delay the timeliness of
bringing the issue to the stakeholders.
As a General Engineering Consultant (GEC)
subconsultant on TxDOT's Border West
Highway in El Paso, VRX was responsible
for reviewing all plans with regards to
environmental issues. The roadway transected
the former Asarco Smelting facility in El
Paso. The facility was still contaminated
with metals, and remediation had not been
completed due to the bankruptcy of Asarco
and lack of funds in an environmental escrow
account for cleanup. Through the entire
project, VRX never missed a deadline for
responses to any submittal.
VRX's experience in the area and relevant to
the area includes:
■ Supporting project teams with identification
of environmental risks affecting cost and
schedule through the preparation of corridor
Phase I ESAs for Dallas Water Utilities and
preparation of corridor TxDOT Initial Sites
PR OPRIE TA R Y INFORMA TION
zo v
Assessments (ISAs) such as the TxDOT
Business 67 project in Dublin, TxDOT Hwy
144 Bridge Replacement project in Glen
Rose, and the TxDOT FM 920 project in
Parker County.
■ Coordinating soil handling, characterization,
and disposal for impacted materials from
construction sites including the TxDOT IH
35 Express Project in Dallas and Denton
counties.
■ Providing field oversight during
construction to address environmental
conditions encountered during construction
including the North Tarrant Express and
DART Silver Line Rail projects.
We know regional factors affect construction,
including disposal requirements for
impacted soils; groundwater management
considerations; preparation/compliance with
soil and groundwater management plans; and
coordination within active construction sites.
Environmental Conditions and
Constraints
VRX has experience working within
environmental conditions typical of Fort
Worth with shallow bedrock and perched
aquifers. VRX is experienced in assessment
and remediation of sites conditions, and sites
impacted by petroleum hydrocarbons, volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), and the sampling
procedures for collection of representative
samples for emerging contaminants including
PFAS, PFOA, and 1,4-Dioxane.
VRX routinely performs work in accordance
with ASTM standards for Phase I and
Phase II ESAs, TCEQ regulatory program
requirements including LPST, VCP, and TRRP
sites, EPA and DOT regulations regarding
transport and disposal of regulated waste.
Public Awareness and Community
Engagement
VRX is proud to serve as the prime consultant
on projects requiring coordination with public
agencies and stakeholders.
Some of our public awareness and community
engagement experience on these types of
projects include the TxDOT Hwy 144 Relief
Bridge in Glen Rose and the TxDOT FM 920
Improvement Project in Parker County. VRX
was the prime consultant for this TxDOT
contract which consisted of the preparation of
plans, specifications, and estimates (PS&E).
This PS&E contract requires roadway and
bridge design; hydraulic and hydrologic
design; traffic signal design; survey;
geotechnical; and construction phase services.
In addition, the required components of the
NEPA were included in the contract such as
the Air Quality Assessment and Hazardous
Materials Impact Study.
VRX's Stephanie Manry, GSP, REP, will
lead our team's Public Involvement efforts.
Our approach emphasizes:
• Clear and concise technical reporting
• Coordination with project stakeholders and
regulatory agencies

Our client -focused approach and sense of
ownership drive VRX's strong record of
responsiveness. We maintain a small -company
culture that empowers staff to make decisions
quickly and respond effectively to the City's
needs. Our experienced team can begin work
immediately with minimal ramp -up time. We
have provided and continue to provide 24/7
on -call support to the City of Fort Worth, the
NTTA, TxDOT, and contractors.
As Hazardous Materials Manager for
TxDOT's 35Express design -build project
in Dallas and Denton Counties, Jim — or a
member of his team — responded to hazardous
materials spills, including diesel, gasoline, and
oil, at any hour for more than four years. Staff
proximity further supports rapid response:
most proposed team members are located
within one hour of Fort Worth.
PR OPRIE TAR Y INFORMA TION
21v
VRX personnel also use technology to
accelerate coordination and delivery. For
example, our team used Microsoft Teams
to prepare technical reports for a TxDOT
Categorical Exclusion on US 281 in Palo
Pinto County in less than two weeks while
working from multiple locations.
Creative Support
VRX continually strives to improve the
efficiency and quality of our services through
creative ideas including adopting innovative
technology. Examples of creative support
activities include:
■ Creation of the VRX Institute in 2018
to provide virtual construction inspection
training to clients, contractors, and the
consultant workforce.
Partnering with a team member on
VRX's NTTA Maintenance Management
Consultant contract developing GIS-
compatible cell phone applications for
collecting data on assets including storm
drains and signs.
■ Using Ecobot, a unique software that
digitizes USACE wetland delineation
forms in an IOS application for field use
to improve the efficiency and quality of
wetland delineations.
Summary
VRX's project management approach has
provided the City of Fort Worth with a
responsive, reliable, and highly capable
environmental consulting partner over
the last five years and potentially into the
future. As good stewards of your budget, we
carefully assign the most skilled technical
staff to each role and keep you informed with
recommendations that make the most sense
and are as cost effective as possible.
Through strong leadership, knowledge of the
subject matter, rigorous QA/QC, effective
communication and coordination, VRX will
continue to deliver consistent, high -quality
services that support safe, compliant, and
efficient execution of the City of Fort Worth's
environmental programs.

Concurrent Task Order Management:
VRX's operational approach is specifically
designed to support multiple task orders
on an as -needed basis, including the ability
to mobilize quickly for time -sensitive
assignments, regulatory response actions, or
urgent field investigations. VRX's staffing
capacity and coordination processes support
efficient service delivery while maintaining
consistent communication with clients.
■ QAAcross Multiple Projects: VRX
utilizes standardized project management
procedures and QA/QC protocols across
all assignments to maintain technical
consistency and regulatory compliance.
Through the use of Bluebeam review
sessions and a company -wide process
of review, edit, and back checking work
products, VRX strives to deliver a report
or document of the utmost quality to the
client prior to submission to a regulating
agency. If an issue is discovered, the QA
review process is assessed to determine
the breakdown and presented as a lesson
learned for future projects.
• Technology and Administrative Support:
VRX leverages project tracking tools,
scheduling systems, document management
procedures, and administrative support
resources to monitor project progress,
maintain deliverable schedules, and
facilitate efficient coordination between
office and field operations.
• Responsiveness to Municipal and
Public -Sector Clients: VRX understands
municipalities often require simultaneous
support for multiple environmental
initiatives, task orders, and regulatory
programs. VRX's staffing flexibility and
coordinated management structure enable
us to respond quickly to City requests,
maintain project schedules, and support
evolving client priorities while meeting
procurement and reporting requirements.
11. Explain VRX's approach to responding
to urgent or time -sensitive requests,
including typical response times,
availability of staff, and ability to meet
accelerated project schedules.
VRX recognizes municipal and public -sector
projects frequently involve urgent or time -
sensitive environmental issues that require
rapid response, efficient coordination, and
accelerated project execution. VRX maintains
the staffing capacity, technical resources, and
internal coordination procedures necessary
to respond quickly to emergency situations,
regulatory deadlines, accelerated development
schedules, and urgent municipal requests. Our
ability to manage multiple concurrent task
orders and rapidly mobilize personnel allows
VRX to support clients efficiently under
demanding project conditions.
PROPRIE TAR Y INFORMA TION
10 v
Key components of VRX's approach to urgent
and time -sensitive requests include:
Rapid Response and Staff Availability:
VRX maintains experienced project
managers, environmental professionals, field
personnel, and technical specialists who are
available to respond quickly. Depending on
project requirements and site conditions,
VRX can typically initiate coordination
and mobilization activities within 24
to 48 hours for urgent assignments,
including environmental investigations,
sampling events, regulatory support, and
remediation-related services. For example,
on the TxDOT 35Express project, VRX
provided a multi -personnel call down list
to provide 24/7 response for emergency
incidents during the life of the project.
• Dedicated project management and clear
communication
• Flexible staffing and resource allocation
• Efficient internal coordination processes
• Experience with accelerated environmental
:Y�1►�f[K-1.9
• Regulatory coordination and compliance
support
• Commitment to meeting project schedules
• Field safety and operational readiness
Through responsive communication,
experienced personnel, flexible resource
management, and strong internal coordination,
VRX is well -positioned to support the City
of Fort Worth with urgent environmental
needs on simultaneous projects and likely
accelerated schedules while maintaining
dependable service and regulatory compliance.
Please see more details of VRX's approach
and experience in our Statement of
Qualifications.
