2.1. California Department of Water Resources – Wonderware System Platform/InTouch
Consulting
Name: California Department of Water Resources
POC: Steve Ballard
Telephone: (916)862-0973
Location Sacramento, CA
Type of Contract: Not To Exceed
Contract Amount: $800,000
Period Of Performance: 2012–2015
2.1.1. Brief Description of Work
EGS was awarded a multi-year contract with the California Department of Water Resources
(DWR) to provide a full review of their state-wide controls system that encompassed all locks
and dams, pumping, filtering, and level stations with remote monitoring and multiple control
centers across the state, and provide recommendations and a feasible pathway to create an
updated and modern controls system. Their system had been built over a number of decades and
still had active systems and instrumentation from the early 1980/90s. Their system was not
networked together in any meaningful way, with systems that did not all connect through a single
unifying package, including a large number of InTouch clients. EGS provided them a plan to
upgrade to System Platform, connect their remote facilities, and ways to incorporate old
equipment into the new system, as well as recommendations for other equipment that would
require upgrading and that were at end of life.
EGS review was from top to bottom of their system including new servers and network
architecture to support centralized controls and more efficient, faster response times. After
providing the review, EGS specified the equipment to match the system and assisted their
procurement department in ensuring the correct hardware to match their objectives.
EGS built and configured their new servers and workstations to need only minimal changes
when connected to the live system. Since DWR are power producers within the state they have
specific NERC/FERC federal requirements on implementation of field assets. To provide as
much hands-on assistance to the DWR staff as possible, EGS built and tested their upgrades
within a development environment first, tested to ensure proper functionality, and then provided
on-site consulting services while the install/upgrades were under way.
EGS also provided a number of other recommendations through review of their system that we
were able to implement during our 3-year contract, including optimizing their interfaces and
screens to be more user/operator friendly while incorporating numerous features of System
Platform. We also optimized their internal networks and servers that would fetch info from the

Name: MCAS Cherry Point, NC, AFHE Refresh
Contract No. SP4702-19-D-0005
Task Order SP4702-20-F-0017
POC: Eric Minshall, Contracting Officer
Address DLA Contract Services Office – Columbus (DCSO-C)
Telephone: (614) 692-1826
Email: Erik.Minshall@dla.mil
Type of Contract: Firm Fixed Price
Contract Amount: $3,143,350.09
Period Of Performance: 18 December 2019–18 December 2021
2.2.1. Brief Description of Work:
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) maintains numerous fuel storage facilities called
Automated Fuel Handling Equipment (AFHE) globally for the Department of Defense (DoD). In
order the keep these AFHE sites operational, DLA performs complete site refreshes periodically
over time. Each year DLA establishes a schedule for those refreshes that typically amounts to 4
to 6 sites annually. To carry out these refreshes,
DLA has an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity
(IDIQ) contract called Automated Fuel System
Installations (AFSI) with 3 awardees. The IDIQ has
a not-to-exceed value of $128 million over 5 years.
DLA offers a solicitation for each site that is to
undergo a refresh as a task order (TO) and the 3
companies pre-qualified under the AFSI IDIQ
compete for each TO. EGS’s most recent TO award
was for a complete refresh of the AFHE fuel system
located at MCAS Cherry Point, NC.
MCAS Cherry Point is a fully operational Marine Corp Aviation Station that contains full
squadrons of F35s, F-18s, AV-8B Harriers, Black Hawk helicopters, and C-130s, to name a few.
The AFHE site contains several components, beginning with delivery of fuel from railcars. In
addition to railcars, most AFHE sites, which are located on both East and West Coasts, contain
one or more piers to unload fuel from ships and barges. MCAS Cherry Point is one of the few
AFHE sites that does not possess a pier. The fuel is pumped over a mile from the railcars to the
Tank Farm, which houses 5 large tanks. From there the stored fuel can be pumped through the

pump house to the Truck Rack used to fill large tank trucks, to Ground Fuels, which stores fuel
for vehicles and base equipment, or to the Flight Line hydrant system, which is used to refuel
aircraft running in the hot pits when returning from daily sorties. The AFHE 4.1 SCADA system
monitors, controls, and tracks all fuel movement. When refueling aircraft, moving fuel to other
tanks, or loading trucks the SCADA system tracks all fuel movement (called evolutions)
including temperature-compensated quantities. All motor-operated valves and pumps can be
controlled from the AFHE SCADA system. The operator can specify source, location, and
amount to be moved and the SCADA system will move the fuel automatically once the evolution
is initiated. The AFHE SCADA system also has animation to show all fuel movements within
the pipeline. All tank levels and pump safeties are monitored for any issues that require
shutdown to avoid a fuel spill. The system also includes a host of PLCs, pressure indicators,
temperature sensors, pressure differential switches, level switches, fuel density indicators, and
ground readers, all monitored by the AFHE system for control input, alarms, and output as
required. Each night a complete system inventory is determined by the SCADA system and
uploaded to a central DLA inventory database. The SCADA system is comprised of a fully
redundant Stratus® server stack that hosts the Wonderware 2014R2 SCADA system and allows
for hot-swappable components. The workstations are connected to the server via a dual
redundant, dual fiber-optic ring, allowing communication in either direction on the ring. EGS
designs and builds Remote Interface Units (RIUs) that are enclosures containing a combination
of PLCs for control I/O, power supplies, digital converters, and network switches used to
interface all field equipment. Each RIU is designed based on site requirements that often include
lightning and surge protection. AFHE site refresh of MCAS Cherry Point includes replacing all
designated field equipment specified within the Project Requirements Document (PRD),
Performance Work Statement (PWS), Design Review Conferences (DRCs), and Site Survey. The
refresh includes, but is not limited to:
New AFHE 4.1 Stratus server, new Dell workstations, and new report printer

New ground readers at Tank Farm A, along with new High-High-Level Alarm panel and
new Independent Alarm System (IAS) panel
This refresh also includes development and execution of a full system testing program that
includes Pre-Install, Pre-Operational, Operational, and System testing requirements. This testing
insures the complete integration and operation of all field equipment and system control within
the AFHE 4.1 SCADA system.
2.2.2. Scale of prior work performed
EGS would surmise that the scale of work being performed at Cherry Point is larger than the
work anticipated at the City of Bozeman by the simple fact the contract value is significantly
higher. While Cherry Point is one of the more modest AFHE sites, there is still a significant
amount of equipment with 5 tanks in the tank farm, 4 tanks in ground fuels, two truck racks, a
rail head that unloads 16 cars at a time, and a hot-pit hydrant system with 20 bays for aircraft
refueling.

2.2.3. Complexity of prior work performed
The complexity of the worked performed at MCAS Cherry Point is probably very similar to what
the City of Bozeman requires for its water and wastewater:
Both would have pumps and possible pump control
Both have tanks that would require monitoring for levels and content
Both would have piping with product potential
Both would have similar valves, PLCs, enclosures, conduit, and wiring
Both would require some calibration for field equipment
Both would have similar alarms and safeties to avoid spills and fire
Both would require similar front-end and back-end SCADA development
Because of the warfighter focus, AFHE sites have significant redundant systems that are proven
to work to avoid system failure and loss of control. It is possible some lessons learned from
AFHE could be applied to water and wastewater applications to avoid system failures.
2.2.4. Problems or issues and how they were resolved
Problem/Issue 2.2.4.1.
The most significant issue that occurred during the execution of the contract was the COVID-19
pandemic. This event forced an all-encompassing travel ban for all DLA contracts and contract
personnel. Additionally, many companies issued stop-work orders to keep employees at home,
which resulted in a shortage of supplies and materials to be procured for the installation. Fur-
thermore, the pandemic made it impossible to travel to site for Design Review Conferences
(DRCs) and from answering design questions that arose during the design activity.
Resolution 2.2.4.2.
To overcome the issue and mitigate risk that arose during the pandemic, EGS did the following:
EGS conducted an analysis of long-lead items to be procured and at its own expense, and
with the permission of the Government, purchased those items with greatest risk to the
schedule.
EGS worked with the Government to provide all the data needed to perform the initial
design reviews via teleconference to avoid travel to site.
EGS added additional networking infrastructure to the AFHE development lab in order
for engineers to continue work both on the design and the AFHE SCADA system re-
motely from home.
These initiatives allowed the schedule and work to progress despite the pandemic, resulting in
only minor delays in the schedule, minimal impact to the Milestone Payment Plan, and very
minimal impacts to the procurement of materials and supplies needed for installation. Currently,
despite small schedule delays, Cherry Point is on track to complete within the original 24-month
period of performance.

Type of Contract: CPFF
Contract Amount: $22,668,915.37
Period Of Performance: 2008 - Present
2.3.1. Brief Description of Work
EGS has been supplying automation engineering/field services/programming services to NIWC
for over 10 years. Our program includes supporting over 25 large bulk fuel farms across the
world that support the US military Navy, Army, Air Force and Marines. We provide
Preventative Maintenance services, testing instrumentation, PLCs, servers, workstations and
networking instrumentation. We also provide ongoing Corrective Maintenance for all automation
systems at these facilities including 24/7/365 emergency support. Our team is made up of field
instrumentation technicians stationed all over the US and worldwide with consolidated
software/PLC/SCADA support in the Tulsa office.
We provide ongoing cybersecurity risk analysis and continuous monitoring of each of the
locations. During analysis if issues are discovered our Cyber Analysts will move quickly to
report the issue as well as implement the necessary controls on the system to prevent future
attacks.
We provide asset/database tracking and barcoding for program wide visibility of the equipment
deployed to the field and track mean between failure (MBF) rates with periodic recommendation
to the client on new equipment or other issues found through our comprehensive tracking and
documentation. We track over 6000 unique devices throughout the program.
Our in-house seasoned engineer and design staff also keep track and review/update all the
drawings of the automation system wide totaling over 5000 individual pages. When issues are
found they are properly addressed with the engineer and provided to the field personnel for
corrective action.
EGS provides yearly hands on training sessions to ensure that the operators of these systems can
properly and safely use all the functionality while providing context to provide basic knowledge
of how the systems are work together along with basic troubleshooting steps.
2.3.2. Complexity of Prior Work Performed
Complexity within this contract occurred in three major areas: geographic dispersion of the sites
(logistics), broad scope of technical competencies required (technical), and speed of response
(management). Providing 24/7 services to an AFHE Maintenance Program that ranges from the
Far East to Europe and the Artic, as well as the East and West coasts of the United States and
Hawaii, takes an exceptional amount of planning and coordination, not only from a program
management perspective, but also on the part of the local technicians. Whether it was verifying
tank set points or strapping tables, or troubleshooting a communication issue with a Remote
Instrumentation Unit (RIU), our technicians received immediate attention and support when
needed. EGS structured our management staff to support the technicians regardless of the time of
day or night. Once the repairs were completed, EGS technicians reviewed the work and made
any changes to the Installation Design package as needed. These updates were then sent to the
EGS PMO for engineering updating to the IDP and submission to the CM Pro database. To pro-

EGS21283
E N G l o b a l G o v e r n m e n t S e r v i c e s , I n c . P a g e | 9
vide continuous support for our DLA clients at each site, we established a maintenance trouble
ticket phone number that is manned 24/7/365.
The instrumentation and automation found within the AFHE maintenance system is extensive,
and encompasses hardware, communication networks, power networks and systems, and
SCADA software. The composite of all of these technical requirements is so disparate that no
individual person is expected to be able to perform all tasks within the Program requirements. To
this end, EGS established and employed cross-functional teams, some geographically located
and some centrally located, to support the site and system requirements. Within each functional
team, EGS personnel were OEM trained and certified, ensuring that only the highest caliber of
person was performing the work on the program. To enhance the performance of the EGS team,
we entered into numerous partnerships with major OEM providers to ensure the most current and
up-to-date training was available, as well as priority for all helpdesk requirements. Of significant
note are our partnerships with Wonderware (Endorsed status), Schneider Electric (Certified Sys
System Integrator), Rockwell Automation (Registered Certified Integrator) and the Control
Systems Integrators Association (CSIA) .
2.3.3. Professional Personnel
EGS provided documentation, training, and trouble-call services with a global network of Elec-
tronics Technicians (ET), Software Designers, Project Management staff, Logisticians; and Sys-
tems, Technical, and Management Analysts (SA, TA, and MA respectively) as described in
previous past performance citations.
2.3.4. Problems or issues and how they were resolved
Issue 2.3.4.1.
During the execution of this contract EGS discovered issues procuring items for repair and
replacement. In many cases the cause for the long lead was unforeseen and was only discovered
in the execution of the procurement process. This long lead procurement caused unforeseen
delays in the performance of the contract
Resolution 2.3.4.2.
EGS immediately recognized this risk for the contract if the long lead procurement was not
accounted and adjusted for. As a result project Logistics determined a classification system to
earmark long lead items. Once the classification system was developed and items with long leads
was identified it was compared to the contract equipment list. This allowed EGS to predict what
items that were due or at risk for replacement or repair to be identified in advance prior to the

demand for said equipment. Schedules, project planning and site activity were adjusted accord-
ingly so that the correct amount of time could be allocated for the upcoming PM activities.
Additional spares for long lead items were procured and stored for use in normal CM call-outs.
Relationships with vendors was cultivated so that in many instances the vendor would procure
and hold the long lead equipment in anticipation of future sales and reducing EGS’s risk and the
Government on over capitalization on spares.

Task Order 0005
POC: Clyde Gibson Hopper
Telephone: (843) 218-3792
Email: clyde.hopper@navy.mil
Type of Contract: Cost plus Fixed Fee (CPFF)
Contract Amount: $1,599,137.95
Period Of Performance: 30 September 2018 through 12 December 2019
2.4.1. Brief Description of Work
DFSP Rota Spain is one of the largest, if not
the largest, AFHE site maintained by DLA.
In 2018, it was determined that the site was
deemed vulnerable to cybersecurity attacks
due to the age of the computing hardware
and software currently in use. EGS was
contracted by DLA to update the SCADA
system only in order to update the computing
hardware and operating systems to versions
more compatible with cybersecurity
protocols. With over 50 tanks and 4 piers, the task order was significant even without the refresh
of the network, all field equipment, and all devices. The SCADA system was a standard protocol
AFHE 4.1 system with a Stratus server and Dell workstations, with 50″ quad monitors. The
system screens, front-end processing, back-end processing, and communication protocols were
all developed and tested in the Tulsa SCADA Lab, which contained at least one each of the
critical site field devices and equipment,
including a Wago PLC. Six workstations were
delivered and the entire site was integrated and
migrated in approximately 6 months start to
finish. The project was fully tested and included
a full 30-day burn-in and was completed in
December of 2019. The work was completed by
two of our best SCADA engineers who were
System Analyst II with several integration

projects under their belts. One of those analysts is on site now at Cherry Point.
2.4.2. Scale of prior work performed
The scale of the work performed was significantly larger than anticipated for the City of
Bozeman water-wastewater facility. This site covers several square miles and in many cases
large tanks can be over 5 miles for the operation center, not to mention the sheer number of tanks
integrated. Additionally, each tank in the tank farm has its own pump, pump controls, and
safeties. There are over 50 PLCs in the tank farm alone for pump control. The amount of I/O and
SCADA tags totaled into the thousands for both analog and discrete.
2.4.3. Complexity of prior work performed
The complexity of the worked performed at DFSP Rota Spain is probably very similar to that the
City of Bozeman requires for its water wastewater
Both would have pumps and possible pump control
Both have tanks that would require monitoring for levels and content
Both would have piping with product potential
Both would have similar valves, PLCs, enclosures, conduit and wiring
Both would require some calibration for field equipment
Both would have similar alarms and safeties to avoid spills and fire
Both would require similar front end and back end SCADA development
Because of the war fighter focus AFHE site have significant redundant systems that are proven
to work to avoid system failure and loss of control. It is possible some lessons learned from
AFHE could be applied to water and wastewater applications to avoid system failures.
2.4.4. Problems or issues and how they were resolved:
Problem/Issue 2.4.4.1.
The most significant issue faced at DFSP Rota was the schedule. The task order was being
performed under an IDIQ contract ending in December of 2019 and the project had to be
completed within that timeframe with no exceptions.
Resolution 2.4.4.2.
To overcome the issue and mitigate risk, EGS did the following:
EGS developed a very detailed and complex schedule so that progress could be tracked at
the smallest levels and any possible delays could be identified early in the project.
EGS utilized our SCADA lab and acquired all equipment needed to set up the lab so that
all SCADA front- and back-end processing could be developed early in the program and
in a cleaner environment.
EGS performed daily teleconferences to aid in tracking progress and identifying issues
with the integration. This also allowed us to bring in SMEs as required to assist with
troubleshooting and offering their experience to aid in problem solving.

These initiatives allowed the project to maintain the schedule and work to progress and complete
before the end of the overarching contract.
2.4.5. Professional Personnel
System Analyst (SA) II: As stated earlier, the DFSP Rota Project utilized SA IIs for the
majority of the work for both the onsite integration and in-house SCADA development. EGS SA
IIs are proficient in all things SCADA, including networking architecture, field equipment
interfaces such as Modbus 485, RS 232, TCP/IP, and network switch configuration. These
individuals usually have 5 or more years of experience.
Cyber Analyst: The EGS Cyber Analyst provides expertise in evaluation of client systems for
vulnerabilities and implements controls to provide necessary threat protection. Typically holds 3
or more years’ experience and nationally recognized certifications/credentials such as SSCP.
Site Electronic Technician III: The project Electronic Technician III at DFSP Rota has been
with EGS for over 10 years and is performing now as site technician. During the AFHE SCADA
4.1 project he fully supported the integration team with troubleshooting and field equipment
testing. He is proficient in all things site related; this includes (but is not limited to) conduit
bending and installation, trenching, equipment rack installation, MOVs, tank probes, level
switches, pressure switches, temperature switches, RIU enclosures, flow computers, flow
transmitters, and ground readers. He is an expert in power and ground requirements, wire pulls,
fiber-optic cable terminations, confined entry safety, heavy equipment operation, and general
construction.
2.5. Work Performed for the City of Bozeman
Unfortunately in our long history of performing SCADA Automation and Control projects EGS
has never worked for the City of Bozeman in that time.
3. Firm Background

Strengths and weaknesses: EGS strengths come from our flexibility in what we can accomplish
through our qualified engineering staff to our certified PLC and software programmers, OEM
trained field staff and professionally trained Mangers. We have a wide variety of completed
projects under our belt and consider the small client just as important as the large one. Many of
our largest clients started out as a single small effort and through effort and determination we
have cultivated them into long standing believers of our products and abilities. A weakness
would be that EGS works in a different regulatory environment versus the rest of ENGlobal, who
mainly works in the Oil and Gas/Renewables/Energy industries. This requires EGS to simply
work in a very different mode with separate processes and procedures in many cases. However
EGS has been working in government contracts for over 15 years and have our own independent
and well-worn business practices in place.
Special capabilities: EGS is one of six US companies to be an ENDORSED Partner to
Aveva/Wonderware software products. This is the highest level of partner and is only awarded to
those companies who excel in the market, with years of experience, numerous successful
projects, requiring factory trained and certified personnel on an invite only basis by Aveva. Our
Endorsed status gives us direct access to Aveva/Wonderware technical support.
EGS is also a Rockwell Automation Certified Registered Partner. This program has stringent
requirements for product utilization and excellence with implementation skills of their products,
and must have numerous successful projects and number of certified installers before being
invited. As the industry leader in PLC production and sales EGS has several persons with
extensive background in Allen Bradly PLCs.
EGS is a Schneider Electric Certified Alliance Partner, one of only 14 in the US. This exclusive
group must show excellence in the use and implementation of their products, have numerous
large successful projects and number of certified installers before being invited.
EGS is a Control System Integrator Association (CSIA) Certified member. In order to be
certified, EGS had to provide and prove business best practices in all aspects of our business
from Business Development, Accounting, Project Management/Execution to close out and
customer satisfaction. EGS has undergone audits every 3 years to ensure compliance with the
CSIA gold standard.

EGS is a Stratus Partner level installer. EGS was the first in their partner program and invited
specifically from Stratus to be the first based on our extensive use and implementation of their
redundant server hardware. EGS has installed and
maintained these servers at locations worldwide for a
number of years.
4. Firm Workload
EGS is a global company with technical personnel located at various locations up and down the
East and West Coasts and overseas. Additionally EGS has offices staffed with key personnel in
Tulsa, Oklahoma and Denver, Colorado with water and wastewater SCADA experience. These
individuals are utilized as required to support engineering, design, SCADA, and field equipment
installations. The Tulsa and Denver locations staff over 50 individuals who comprise the means
by which all projects are managed, accounted for, procured, developed, installed, and delivered.
In addition, ENGlobal’s corporate headquarters are located in Houston Texas, where hundreds of
individuals perform the same functions for projects and opportunities that fall within their lines
of business. These engineers possess the same skill sets as the Tulsa and Denver offices on a
larger scale and provide a reach-back source of engineering when the need arises. The Tulsa
office also operates a SCADA lab that houses field equipment, network communication devices,
and SCADA servers and workstations so issues in the field can be emulated or simulated and
corrected as required without the need to always be on-site. The SCADA Stratus® server in the
lab maintains a functional baseline for each and every AFHE site that EGS maintains. This lab
can and has been utilized to research and develop solutions to both commercial and government
projects as the need arises.
EGS is currently managing and performing on three major contracts described in detail in the
following paragraphs.
4.1. AFHE Maintenance Contract
As mentioned, EGS supports the daily operation of fuel management, delivery, and storage at 25
AFHE locations. More than half of these continental US sites are strategically staffed and
response time is typically 4 hours or less (and as few as two hours at many locations) when the
need for emergency call-out occurs. Our overseas sites are all staffed full-time. The engineers
and technicians who maintain these sites focus the majority of their time on scheduled
maintenance and calibration. The SCADA engineers who perform corrective maintenance live in
Tulsa, work in the lab, and travel to site on scheduled travel to install corrective SCADA fixes
from the Wonderware Developmental Application repository. These engineers often have
flexibility in their schedules to support small changes or corrective call-outs as required and
would typically be available to support the Bozeman water wastewater operation.
4.2. MCAS Cherry Point:
Cherry Point is currently in the installation and integration phase of the project. The AFHE 4.1
SCADA system was developed and tested in the Tulsa Lab and is now located on-site in full
operation. The installation team is installing the network infrastructure, field equipment, and RIU
enclosures. This work is all performed on a non-interference basis so that fuel operations can be
maintained for warfighter forces. As each area is updated, the integration system analyst ensures
the equipment is fully functional and tested with the new SCADA system. This process will

continue until all field devices are installed and migrated over to the new system. The old system
is run in parallel with the new system, which allows the operators to still operate old field
devices until all of the site is installed and migrated to the new SCADA system. This work is on
schedule and estimated to complete in late September to early October. There 5 engineers on-
site, 3 technicians rated at level II or above, and 2 SCADA System Analyst II on-site who
perform the integration/migration and testing of the newly installed equipment. One of the
SCADA engineers also works with the installers in an effort to establish site installation
personnel who are experts in the field equipment function and communication as well as the
SCADA interface and operation. These technicians and engineers can install the entire site based
on the design and drawing package, including running conduit in ground and above, pulling wire
and fiber, terminating the wire and fiber, testing the fiber, installing all field equipment and
devices, installing and connecting all interface enclosures and fiber-optic panels, redlining all
drawings as required, testing and verifying operation, configuring networks and
communications, demolition of old equipment, developing all aspects of the SCADA system
(front- and back-end) and configuring and maintaining the server stack. All of this staff would be
potentially available to support the Bozeman project in and around the last quarter of this year.
4.3. DFSP Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor is one of the largest AFHE sites, with a significant number of above- and below-
ground tanks and pump stations. The work being performed is a mirror of Cherry Point but on a
much larger scale and includes piers for offloading and loading fuel. The crew consists of 6
technicians level II and above, one engineering technician level III Subject Matter Expert (SME),
and one SCADA System Analyst III integrator SME. Several of the engineers and technicians
have been involved with Pearl Harbor over the years, having participated in previous updates and
modifications. Pearl Harbor offers several challenges with communication pathways, tunnels,
equipment locations, and SCADA design, which is why some of our SMEs are assigned to the
project. The installation, integration, and migration are scheduled to complete in January of
2022, although as the project reaches certain milestones some personnel may be released to other
projects as the schedule allows and demand decreases.
4.4. Anticipated Workload
EGS has two submitted proposals in evaluation currently. Both are anticipated to be awarded this
year and EGS believes its chances are very good that at least one will be awarded to EGS in
September. Also, EGS is pursuing other AFHE-refresh opportunities similar in size and scope to
Cherry Point during the coming months, with anticipated awards before the end of the year. Due
to our Endorsed Status with Wonderware, EGS has a sole source contract vehicle with the City
of Tulsa water-wastewater department and performs small updates and implements solutions for
issues as required. These are typically small endeavors that have had zero impact on other project
schedules in the past.
EGS has a fully staffed Human Resource department based out of our corporate headquarters in
Houston that specializes and is familiar with the skill sets needed to perform in our Automation
and Control business. HR provides résumés on a regular basis for evaluation and potential to hire
so that projected needs can be assessed and met without project delays or failure to perform.
These resources and our corporate reach-back capability should offer significant assurances that
EGS can and will perform on any and all endeavors undertaken with the City of Bozeman. If the
need should arise (depending on the opportunity), EGS would be prepared to establish a

permanent technician or analyst local to Bozeman to function as a full-time maintenance staff or
on-call support. With the size and resources available to EGS, we can assure that such a staff
member would be qualified to support the Bozeman operation and be supported by the larger
organization just as all our projects are. EGS has performed on both Time and Material (T&M)
contracts and Lump Sum depending on the customer’s needs. Over our history of EGS has a
solid track record for fulfilling contracts within estimated budgets only requesting additional
funding with the scope of work changes. EGS’s system engineering process establishes a well-
defined set of requirements so that the level of effort can be accurately estimated and the
customers’ expectations can be met. Once these requirements are established EGS’s resource
management will earmark key personnel to perform and deliver said requirements. This allows
EGS to identify any short falls in key performance roles early in the program and seek out the
required resources prior to the need becoming a risk to the project. Once the requirements are
identified and level of effort is established EGS will develop an in depth detailed project
schedule and report on schedule progress weekly to key stakeholders throughout the project.
This allows EGS to plan and accommodate for potential schedule delays rather than react to
unforeseen events that impact the project schedule.
