For us, safety is not a slogan. It is a value ingrained in our corporate culture. Our Corporate Safety & Health Program is integrated with our project process and requires pre -planning work activities to support implementation of safe work measures. We have integrated the Burns & McDonnell Safety & Health Department as a function of the safety process and recognize it as a key factor in completing jobs on time and within budget. The Safety & Health Department conducts Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA), 10 -Hour Construction/General Industry Safety Training, 40 -Hour Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) training, first aid/CPR, as well as other hazard -specific safety training courses. Every project at Burns & McDonnell operates with the safety philosophy that zero recordable incidents can be accomplished with proper planning, resources and follow-through. Our project safety records demonstrate the success of this approach. Burns & McDonnell's Days Away, Restricted or Transferred (DART) and Total Recordable Injury Rate (TRIR) safety statistics are considerably better than industry standards set by the Construction Industry Institute and the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Although it is not an OSHA requirement, Burns & McDonnell is one of few firms to include subcontractors in our safety statistics. We choose to do this because our safety commitment goes beyond reporting the numbers. It is our intrinsic expectation that everyone working on a project goes home safely to their families every night — our people as well as those who work with us. 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 Total Recordable Incident Rate I I I I I I•' Days Away Restrictions/Transfers Rate Fatalities + I I I I Hours Worked 16,161,044 15,224,971 19,543,704 22,913,829 21,807,504 Combined employee -owner and subcontractor data 0 BURNS&MSDONNELL' 0 City of Denton - DME I Engineering Services I RED 7740 DocuSign Envelope ID: CEE6COAA-CC65-4817-B6CA-7923F423EA63 Quality Assurance / Quality Control Burns & McDonnell has used an interdisciplinary design review process on all projects since 1981. We have developed this program using guidelines published by the Professional Engineers in Private Practice (PEPP) section of the National Society of Professional Engineers and endorsed by the American Institute of Architects and the American Council of Engineering Companies. Our QA/QC program is highly effective and provides for interdisciplinary reviews by an independent team of professional engineers, architects, and support personnel at various milestones throughout execution of the project design. Specific quality control tasks are budgeted into each project. This six -step quality program is not just a review of the final product; quality assurance for Burns & McDonnell is initiated when the project begins so that the design process supports the timely delivery of a well -integrated final product. This program has and continues to play a significant role in the success of all our projects: reports, design, or design/build activities. A highly qualified and motivated team of technical individuals, armed with the proper management tools, and guided by a time -tested and rigorously applied quality program represents an unbeatable combination for getting the job done right. With fast -paced projects that progress quickly and require tight turnarounds, a well-defined quality system, that aligns with the schedule, is critical and quite simply, is inherent to the culture of our company. $818M Contracted with Diverse Firms in the past five years op Peer Review of Preliminary Project Activities Mh.

This enables thorough review of "big picture" data related to the grid, its assets and performance by addressing power flow, reliability, failure risk, protection, coordination and operational efficiency. As a result, projects are developed that address multiple needs simultaneously while enabling strategic re-engineering of the system to meet future customer needs. It uses system model data and asset data together to make efficient use of limited capital resources and achieve sustainable change. In this case, our team began by reviewing the utility's current engineering design and operating standards and recommending modifications that would better align with Entergy's long-range goals and address future customer demands. A detailed engineering and asset analysis was then conducted across more than 10 percent of Entergy's circuits to examine the design, performance, age and health of each. Using state-of-the-art mobile technology and GIS tools, inspectors first went into the field to validate system data and asset health and collect data on 64 pilot circuits. The data was compiled in a geospatial asset database, along with all other system and asset data, which we used to conduct power flow simulations and other tests to assess system performance, asset trends and risk modeling. The findings of this analysis were used to identify projects to improve circuit performance, enable system flexibility and resiliency, and decrease overall system failure risk. After the Burns & McDonnell distribution planning team successfully completed Phase I of Entergy's Grid Modernization planning study, Entergy retained our team to provide engineering services and design execution. Our distribution team provided engineer services for three Grid Modernization projects consisting of 40 -line miles of rebuild, 6 -line miles of redundant circuit removal, and installation of 145 distribution automation devices (reclosers, capacitor banks, and regulators) across 32 circuits. Pole inspections Using Collector for ArcGIS and portable tables, our team captured geo-tagged photographs and pole inspection notes. The information was collected and stored in Burns & McDonnell's ArcGIS-based geospatial databased which helps facilitate efficiency and organization during the design phase. All pole inspections were conducted in accordance with Entergy's Asset Management inspection standards and procedures. Our inspections included: High resolution photos Visual inspection from all angles using binoculars Validation of as -built conditions including third part attachments and span lengths Notes on urgent and non -urgent damaged equipment, potential outage risks, and vegetation concerns BURNS.�MSDONNELL' 0 City of Denton - DISE I Engineering Services I RFO 7746 DocuSign Envelope ID: CEE6COAA-CC65-4817-B6CA-7923F423EA63 Design Deliverables As circuit inspection data became available, our engineers prepared construction packages including: ■ Work order creation in Maximo ■ Proposed layout of upgraded facilities ■ Voltage drop and flicker analysis ■ Pole loading analysis using PoleForeman ► Design data entry into Entergy's GIS (GE Smallworld) ► Job construction sketches ■ Bill of materials and cost summaries ■ Permit applications Post -Design Activities Our involvement in the program does not end once completed design packages are delivered.

I Part of Burns & McDonnell utilized OG&E's CYME circuit models to perform protection coordination studies. The circuit models were augmented with new devices, TCC settings, and constructability considerations. Standardized Tripsaver settings were input to new devices for operational uniformity. Intellirupter relay settings were adjusted as necessary to ensure quick operation given available fault current levels. In addition to new devices, existing fuses were also coordinated together with added Tripsavers and Intellirupters to ensure the cohesive operation of protective devices. A further benefit of installing Intellirupters on OG&E circuits is the ability for automatic load transfer schemes. 1898 and Co. analyzed load transfer schemes for all study circuits and documented recommendations for the operation of these transfer schemes. Building up high fidelity circuit models for protection coordination studies enabled the project team to produce detailed results. Coordination tools in CYME were utilized extensively to prove the intended operation of devices. Study results were exported in tabular formats and geographical maps were created for design teams to easily transfer the results of the protection coordination studies into programmed devices in the field.

Detroit, Michigan DTE and 1898 & Co., part of Burns & McDonnell, investigated electric vehicle penetration within DTE service territory to evaluate the potential impact to equipment, powerflow, load profiles, and other aspects to DTE. Several circuit classes and conditions were selected to be examined based on criteria such: high penetration risk, EV load types (agricultural, freight trucks, long distance commuters, etc.), infrastructure age, and kV level, The project outcome included detailed breakdowns of equipment and infrastructure overloads by type, penetration phase impact levels, and recommended mitigation options based on violation criteria. This investigation incorporated several aspects. Private datasets were used to predict probability of EV adoption by household based on developed adoption mosaics using industry experience. The penetration levels and number of EV vehicles were integrated to each customer transformer based on geospatial proximity create EV adoption heatmaps for each of the simulated circuits. Using EPRI data, circuit boundary -specific characteristics were derived to estimate several factors including vehicle counts, household counts, and more. Business data was also incorporated to estimate corporate adoption based on several factors. Corporate facility EV adoption was predicted based on fleet vehicle sizes, parking lot sizes, average revenues, and other factors to provide adoption estimations for primarily commercial circuit and circuit areas. Several EV penetration levels were analyzed where adoption growth incorporated peer- to-peer adoption methods. Further, seasonal penetrations were also evaluated which provided indication of change in conventional loading profiles as penetration increased. This was also key for assessing agricultural impacts ad equipment uses change seasonally. Model results were then used to identify commonalities in specific equipment overloads for use adjusting design standards and procurement purchases. Further, results provided insight into configuration and design adjustments for short-term integration and long-term integrations. The results of the study were then extrapolated to system wide investigation to determine impacts at a system- wide level for program adoption strategies. This study provided insight into recommended rate program opportunities to reduce inopportune charging profiles either regionally or territory wide.

The new planning process combined operational data with distribution engineering data in a geospatial environment to provide accurate DER capacity analysis based on historical data. Our team worked alongside SCE distribution engineers to collect data, update distribution circuit models, and analyze the results of the Integration Capacity Analysis (ICA). The overall goal of the project was to create an automated system to update ICA values after any significant circuit change, which could affect DER interconnections. We supported the project through data architecture planning, resource planning, business process planning and project implementation. Below are a few examples of tasks related to data integrity enhancements and improved data processing logic: Verified system conditions with mapping, DMS, OMS, EMS, etc. Improved distribution circuit modelling in CYME using scripting Created substation load, substation voltage 576 profiles Integrated existing DER and Smart -meter data into planning process. Including improved data models for generation modelling Automated trigger process to calculate and publish ICA results Identified pre-existing conditions which may cause abnormal ICA results Created an Oracle based dashboard to monitor data discrepancies, track project progress, and integrate system updates into distribution network models We utilized many different technologies and software to complete the project including Oracle, SQL, APEX, PYTHON, CYME, SAS, Legacy Data Systems & Excel Macros. Throughout the project, our team and SCE faced numerous obstacles in implementing such a complex, multi -function organizational project in such a short timeline. The project team proactively addressed these challenges, which included: Data integrity, which requires Burns & McDonnell and SCE to investigate any and all discrepancies between databases i Interfacing with multiple different business units to merge & correct data i= Future challenges maintaining the most up to date circuit models with minimal staff Leadership & training: Implementing a first of its kind system, without any prior experience from SCE or our firm In order to efficiently solve these problems, the team developed a process for analyzing each circuit to a minimum level of data quality. Some tasks had to be manually verified, while other verifications could be written in code such as PYTHON to automate processes and provide standardized assumptions for certain pieces of equipment. The team also implemented an Oracle APEX web -based environment to track project progress, view and filter data to aid in data quality investigations. The final analysis results were posted to a DRP External Portal website for use by external stakeholders.

Effective project planning is the key to limiting project risk exposure, scope deviation and potential change orders. Burns & McDonnell believes that the more time you invest into the Front-end Planning (FEP) of a project, the more scope, cost, risk and schedule certainty you provide to the project during execution. This mindset is driven into all our Project Managers whether executing engineering, planning or inspection projects. Our PMs are familiar with the entire project lifecycle and can identify potential scope deviation, scheduling conflicts, construction challenges and permitting hurdles at the initiation of a project allowing them to properly plan activities and manage risk on the project. For every project, Burns & McDonnell works closely with the Client to develop a tailored project management and controls approach to meet the specific needs of the client and the project. The section below outlines some of the critical steps that Burns & McDonnell has successfully implemented on similar past projects. Project Schedules Continual project schedule monitoring and status updates allow for the proactive management of individual subtasks that comprise a complete project. Burns & McDonnell's Project Managers are knowledgeable in both Primavera P6 and Microsoft Project and experienced with providing accurate schedule updates on a reoccurring basis. Specifically for The City of Denton, our Project Managers can support the PMO/Purchasing department are responsible for the frontend schedule development and adherence for each of their work authorizations. This includes weekly schedule updates submitted to the scheduling group and attendance in the Schedule Adherence Meeting. To best serve The City of Denton, Burns & McDonnell's Project Controls team has the experience and capabilities to develop engineering and construction schedules with resource loading and earned value capabilities. Whether it is budgeted workplan items with longer schedules or quick trigger or mission critical projects with condensed schedules, Burns & McDonnell has the means and methods to complete any type of project in the desired schedule. BURNS '° MSDONNELL" Scheduling Tools Utilized The key to a successful project is a properly developed, adequately maintained and properly executed project schedule. Burns & McDonnell uses Primavera 6.0(P6 TM), MS Project or SmartSheets as Project Planners and utilizes the Critical Path Method (CPM) Project Planning Techniques. We choose the correct planning tool that better accommodates the project needs and requirements. Cost Control & Cost Estimating Cost Control of the Design Process. The project manager is responsible for developing the estimate for engineering services. The project manager identifies the scope and has a detailed activity list based on what needs to occur to accomplish the project objectives and deliverables required by the customer in the scope and documents. Specifics of the scope that have been included are clarified and proposal requirements that have not been included in our proposed scope of work are clearly identified, as required. The estimate must match the level of effort required to complete the identified scope in the defined timeframe. The estimate is typically developed through bottom-up estimating (the project team takes part in the estimating process). The project manager frequently coordinates with key personnel regarding manhour budget per task. The required activities identified in the schedule are broken down into tasks and assigned man-hours based on classification levels. Labor, travel, subcontract, technology expense, and other expense costs for the project are accounted for in the estimate. If subcontracted services are used, we submit a proposal consistent with the scope basis provided and quoted by the proposed subcontractor. In addition, the project manager develops a resource-based forecast, assigning commitments for required personnel over the required duration. The project manager solicits feedback and buy -in on the level of effort to be included for each of their scopes of work. The project manager has similar project experience and may use relevant cost history from previous projects to verify the reasonability of total estimate magnitude. The estimate is reviewed by management prior to submittal to the Cii ui Dtn'(On - DME 1 Engine@; Big Sp_r,riL� . ; DocuSign Envelope ID: CEE6COAA-CC65-4817-B6CA-7923F423EA63 customer. The project manager utilizes EcoSys software to manage and control labor hours and costs on a weekly basis to track project performance. Time Management Tracking Burns & McDonnell utilizes an Oracle based management information system for project accounting and man-hour budgeting. The man- hour estimate provided with this proposal is the first step in defining the project man-hour budget. The budgeting process is coordinated with the engineering schedule and involve budgets by task and/or job function. Project management and discipline department management have access to weekly updates of actual charges versus the appropriate budget to control costs and evaluate engineering progress versus cost. Cost Control of the Construction Cost The development of Total Installed Cost (TIC) estimates is regularly performed on projects as required in project scopes. These initial cost estimates take place early in the planning process for alternative comparison and alternative cost/benefit evaluation. As the project goes through its life cycle, different classes of estimates are developed and released. The level of detail in the estimate increases as the project scope develops. The level of project definition also varies depending on the stage of the project. The estimate starts with an Estimate Basis, which includes project scope and basic information, for example: ratings for major equipment, system configuration, geographical characteristics of the project location, and estimate classification level. To support the estimate's classification level, a basic set of technically supported and unsupported assumptions are included with the estimate basis transmittal. Assumptions regarding the labor work force, rate sheet, location (regional) adjustment, or productivity adjustments are also documented. The labor rate may be calculated using commercially available average rate index information and adjusted based on the City Cost Index for the installation location. The base estimate is broken down using a Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) with a minimum of departments (ex. planning, distribution engineering etc.) and discipline (ex. Foundation, Site work, etc.) categories. Additional WBS categories separate the cost to support a client's bid tabulation request, contract packages, ownership delineation, etc. It is important to take into consideration both the project scope and the estimates' usefulness across the full project life cycle when setting the WBS. v Material cost data is sourced from recent bid or budgetary information from manufacturers, commercially available databases, and proprietary historical information. k 01 JP Labor cost data is the combination of the time required to complete a defined task and the rate of the local labor force performing the work. The time required may be sourced from contractor's historical information, bid, commercially available references, or manufacturer's recommendations. Consideration is given to whether the project is performed in areas predominantly using union or open shop contractors when assessing labor cost. Reasonable contingencies are developed and evaluated for each project cost estimate. Contingency captures uncertainties and cost based on the associated project risks. The contingency is dependent on the level of project definition. Some general guidelines for contingency were developed based on AACEi definitions by EPRI and the Department of Energy. Major and complex projects include higher contingency levels based on increased project risks and challenges. As the project is refined, the contingency reflects the shift of contingencies into actual cost categories. Per the AACEi definition, historically, contingency is expected to be expended and is included in the estimates. Costs are calculated and the estimate expressed in year -of -expenditure dollars to reflect escalation. We do this by assigning an inflation rate per year for the different project cost elements. The selected year - of -expenditure reflects a realistic scenario, considering project planning and permitting BURNS&MSDONNELL' DocuSign Envelope ID: CEE6COAA-CC65-4817-B6CA-7923F423EA63 durations, and construction timeframe. Inflation rates may be different for specific cost elements. Multiple sources are used for determining the inflation rate, including nationwide and local references. The estimate classification level changes with the supporting information and as additional engineering efforts are completed. Examples of supporting information are line route drawing, environmental permitting report, survey data, geotechnical report, electrical one -line drawing, equipment specification, and general layout plan drawing. At different stages of design, Burns & McDonnell utilizes an in-house developed customizable application that includes a large number of components for development and updates to the project estimates. Corrective Actions The goal of projects is to deliver designs that meet the scope requirements, within required budgets, and within the schedule limitations. If during the design phase, conditions arise that compromise any of these goals, meetings are scheduled to discuss the situation with all required stakeholders. The design process is integrated with construction teams to keep design within construction requirements and limitations. Corrective actions generally include design changes to future considerations, system configuration, equipment ratings, stages of construction, installation requirements, and others as needed to resolve the conflicts. Burns & McDonnell looks for ways to provide Value Engineering to achieve the project goals and reduce overall project cost. These Value Engineering ideas are brought up to stakeholders for approval prior to implementation. Change Management Process As the project progresses, monitoring and reporting cost will become the focus of cost management. This process will determine how the cost variances and other changes to the project are managed and maintained. The Burns & McDonnell team will monitor any subcontractor or vendor changes and make sure changes are prudent and beneficial to the project. Change management, including documentation, analysis, and reporting will occur as the Project progresses and changes arise. Produces timely and concise Subcontractor cost performance reports to detect and manage variances from the baseline plan Confirms all legitimate changes are recorded accurately with appropriate documentation Engages the different disciplines such as, Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management, to review and scrutinize any change notifications Prevents incorrect, inappropriate, or unauthorized changes prior to the work being performed Submits timely change notification according to the contract language Cost Estimating► Techniques Burns & McDonnell is a fully integrated design build firm that houses design, procurement, and construction professionals. As such, our in-house databases that include sources and techniques outlined in the Cost Control of the Construction Cost section above will be utilized. This is an important and complex project that will require information at our disposal for providing the level of estimating required for this project.

We are vendor agnostic, often partnering with key software vendors, to customize our solutions to our client's preferences, systems, and specific goals. Our team has completed assessments and prioritization studies for our other utility partners such as Oncor, Entergy, Texas -New Mexico Power, Oklahoma Gas & Electric, American Electric Power, and CPS Energy impacting strategic program and project evaluation and prioritization on an aggregate of over 10,000 circuits and justified over $3 billion of investment to Commissions and Utility Executive Management. Burns & McDonnell has a well-defined, experienced grid modernization and distribution business line that works with clients across the country to provide Distribution Planning, consulting, and engineering services. In the past 3 years we have provided over $25M of distribution planning and consulting services for many clients within Texas and throughout the rest of the country. These assignments include establishing master plans to transform the distribution grid to meet a multitude of changes affecting planning, operations, and design. Many of these drivers include increasing customer demands for increased reliability, customer choice, resiliency, distributed energy resources (DER) and other advanced technologies related to automation. Our team helps electric utilities establish plans that prepare the electric grid to meet those increasing demands, plus energy efficiency and many other new grid technologies. While grid modernization programs will vary among utilities and regulatory environments, there are fundamental components that should be considered for every project: BURNS&MMONNELU 0 Design with a STRONG foundation in mind Build SMART grid on strong infrastructure Create SUSTAINABLE operations City of Denton - DHE ! Eligineering Services I RF4 7740 DocuSign Envelope ID: CEE6COAA-CC65-4817-B6CA-7923F423EA63 Strategic planning that focuses on making the grid strong, smart, and sustainable will help achieve a modern grid that is reliable, resilient, easier to operate and maintain, and environmentally responsible. We believe these strategies and opportunities present opportunities to create a customer focused strong grid that incorporates customer needs, design standards, new materials, loads and generation resources and how best to plan to extract the ultimate value from the existing grid. Effective Grid improvement strategies shall consider longer term advantages though these plans may be burdened with short term costs for strategic improvements. These strategic plans aid in accommodating additional DERs, improve reliability, provide additional possibilities for EV adoption and beyond. Evolving Distribution GridApproach Our team strives to solve the following challenges in an evolving distribution grid: ■ Reliability concerns ■ Shifting customer demands ■ Decarbonization mandates ► Broad electrification L High DER/DG penetration L- Third party's market participation To address the above challenges, our team has a portfolio of offerings and our team is qualified to perform the following studies: o Synergi Modeling Long Range/CIP Plans System Coordination Studies r. Volt/VAR Optimization ❑ Reliability Modeling & Studies ❑ Harmonics Analysis ■ Electrification ■ Hosting Capacity ► DER/DG Penetration ► Asset Renewal Analysis Studies Time -series analysis ► IEEE 1453 Flicker Analysis ► Islanding Analysis We believe that strategy initiatives in this space drive the need for planning that enables the deployment of advanced technological infrastructure. The performance optimization that the grid experiences can be quantified with the help of data analytics, which leads us to understand our grid better, leading to more strategy -based initiatives. This philosophy on distribution planning studies can be summarized with the following illustration: Strategy Development Our distribution team has developed solutions/ business cases and performed studies to address the local regulatory environment, financial conditions, near-term objectives, and long-term performance goals. We develop customized solutions that are apt with actionable plans, reflecting utilities current state, financial conditions, near term objectives and long-term performance goals. Our solutions, studies and business cases have identified and prioritized holistic projects that can improve the electric grid's reliability and resiliency while increasing customer engagement. A few of these projects include new or upgraded distribution circuits, new technology BURNS &° ISDONNELL' � 'f City of Denton - DME I Engineering Services RFO 7740 DocuSign Envelope ID: CEE6COAA-CC65-4817-66CA-7923F423EA63 applications, or improvements to vegetation management practices. We understand that the regulatory and operational environment is unique, and our distribution planners develop solutions that take these increasingly complex factors into consideration to put a safe, reliable, and cost-effective plan into action. Data Analysis Grid modernization means utilities are generating billions of data points per second. But making sense of the information — and putting it to work — is what will make the difference in the delivery of efficient, safe, reliable and secure power, as well as in providing long-term shareholder value. Our utility data analytics team identifies, organizes and assesses your system data. Our data scientists create predictive models that will help generate greater value. This data analysis will help you focus maintenance plans on your most unhealthy assets. During storms, you can use real-time weather data and live system feeds to stage your repair resources. You can monitor aging equipment to strengthen your environmental compliance by considering updates to oil -filled equipment near freshwater resources. Your data can also help you identify customers at risk of nonpayment, allowing you to offer incentives for on-time or advance payment. Synergi Modeling A precise distribution planning model is critical to achieve accurate and efficient data maintenance and system modeling which enables the planning models to more closely approximate system conditions. Burns & McDonnell has developed best practice techniques in system modeling through working with a multitude of utility clients. Typically, when we take on a distribution planning project, validating and updating the planning model is one of the first crucial steps and succeeding in this effort leads to a more valuable project outcome. Madel Build The initial model build review frequently includes a thorough evaluation of the distribution planning models by comparing it to available asset and geospatial data to ensure that the model is reflecting the most accurate representation of the physical distribution system.

Field verification may be executed for single assets on an as needed basis or may be more comprehensive to fully inspect an entire circuit or set of circuits with known data and/or asset health concerns. We have the ability to conduct these inspections with outside service providers or client line crews equipped with tablet devices loaded with geospatial asset data and inspection applications that will capture inspection results directly into a geospatial database. This database and inspection results are provided back to the utility client for incorporation into existing asset databases and utilization during planning activities. Load Characterization In addition to topology, customer, and equipment validation, Burns & McDonnell is also experienced reviewing load allocation methodology, substation modeling, weather normalized load forecasting, protection and coordination schemes, and reliability modeling. Load modeling is challenging due to the variability of load behaviors and lack of precise information. Burns & McDonnell has executed numerous load allocation improvement projects to outline an enhanced process for characterizing load in various planning models. The key factors are allocation method (fixed/ allocated, kW, kWh, transformer kVA), load class (residential, commercial, industrial, etc.), load forecasting, power factor assumptions, and data availability/accuracy. Load Flow Analysis The load flow analysis will evaluate thermal loading (current flow), voltage profile, voltage drop, and power factor. Any abnormal conditions such thermal, voltage, and power factor violations in the existing system will be shared with DME. Burns & McDonnell will provide recommendations for circuit reconfiguration, reconductoring, adding any devices such as capacitors for VAR support, regulators for voltage support, and reclosers for better sectionalizing based on the results of load flow analysis. Recommendations After Burns & McDonnell conducts a thorough evaluation of the distribution planning models for accuracy and lack of information, the validation results and discrepancies are discussed with the utility client. Feasible recommendations for improvements are identified and implemented. Any abnormal conditions that exist in the current model will be noted and shared with DME. Burns & McDonnell will also provide recommendations to improve the abnormal conditions in the system. Planning Analysis As DME's potential Consultant for Distribution Engineering and Planning Studies, our planning teams will have natural synergies that encourage cost savings and schedule certainty. We have a significant understanding of the key issues clients face when conducting planning studies with an ever-changing system and work collaboratively with clients to manage the uniqueness of their systems to execute quality studies. Power Flow Analysis Burns & McDonnell, brings decades of experience in performing power system analysis on distribution networks for a variety of purposes, including the ones mentioned in this proposal. We are capable of analyzing a wide range of distribution network models for model integrity, power quality evaluation, and time series analysis to meet DME's needs. Typical constraints that we consider as part of our power flow analysis are: Thermal: No equipment (line, transformer, capacitor, regulator, breaker, etc.) over 100% BURNs.�MSDONNELL' *: ?

To achieve this, our team brings experience in various distribution planning software programs such as Synergi, CYME and WindMil (and their ala carte optional modules). Capacitor bank sizing and switching optimization analysis Burns & McDonnell understands the impacts or benefits that reactive support devices have on the distribution system. We have several processes and tools that can be used in conjunction with DME's planning models and the Synergi software to: ■ • Research and mitigate existing voltage violations or power factor issues, ■ Recommend the placement of new devices, or ► Optimize the existing locations and operational settings based on DME's desired objectives. We understand that in some cases, capacitor banks need to be distributed along the distribution circuit, rather than aggregated at the substation. To address the effect of increased DER use, the operation of the capacitor bank needs to be automated to deal with the natural solar cycle that result in changing generation output. Local controls may be recommended for sensing and fixing power angles and voltage. Regulators, and tap changers may need to be coordinated with the capacitor banks on circuits with a high level of DER, and EV charging may also have an impact on Volt/VAR regulation as they grow in quantity. Our team looks forward to working with DME's planning team to review the results of other studies and finding in this effort and use it to recommend optimal controlling devices. Solar Hosting Capacity Analysis Burns & McDonnell has relevant experience in Hosting Capacity Analysis (HCA) for inverter - based generation such as residential and utility scale solar. Our team brings experience in evaluating over 4,200 distribution circuits for Southern California Edison (SCE) for hosting capacity by performing 576 time series analysis. Similarly, we have led pilot programs for utilities such as DTE Energy in evaluating hosting capacity defined by peak demand. We will work with DME's planning team to address the following towards assessing system -wide hosting capacity: ► Define number of circuits to LU LU assess Z IL ■ Define constraints and their W V simulation parameters ■ Identify if analysis would be time series vs scenario based P► Evaluate quality of planning C models - Develop metrics to score W I- circuit models by accuracy G D lo,Assess demand (AMI and/or SCADA) and generation profiles. y.

To gauge this information, we analyze the circuit against operational constraints that limit the interconnection of additional generation. Typical constraints that are considered for HCA are: ► Thermal load m Steady state voltage ■ Voltage variation ► Operational flexibility as defined by preventing reverse power flow. ► Protection reduction of reach BURNS\MSDONNELU 0 City of Denton - DME 1 Engineering Services 1 RFO 7740 DocuSign Envelope ID: CEE6COAA-CC65-4817-B6CA-7923F423EA63 DER and Electric Vehicle Impact Studies The growth of DER and the impending mass adoption of Electrical Vehicles (EVs) pose a myriad of challenges of utilities. Burns & McDonnell has had vast experience in supporting utilities prepare for this new energy transition and is keen to support DME as well. To prepare for DER and EV growth, Burns & McDonnell will conduct planning analysis to identify system constraints and develop data - driven grid modernization solutions. Our team's approach is on providing holistic grid planning that is built with long term impacts in mind. The following figure captures our thought process when it comes to grid planning for DER and EV growth. The breadth of solutions that can be deployed to mitigate issues arising out of DER and EV penetration are many. From voltage conversion to NWAs such demand response initiatives, we have open to working with DME on considering both technical and cost-effective measures to modernize its grid.

With transportation getting electrified, and building heating moving away from natural gas and propane, distribution planning may require new circuits or rebuilds to be loaded only up to 50 percent as opposed to the 70-80 percent loading currently. To address these challenges, Burns & McDonnell, has developed an in-house spreadsheet model that looks at "what -if" scenarios once circuit data is used as input. The model looks at variables such as EV count, EV Charger size and number (includes DC Charging and Superchargers), and overall percentage of electrification impacting heating and appliances. Our model analyzes impact on all circuits and substations (aggregated by their feeders). Some of the highlights of our analysis are: ■ Our model can consider extreme weather conditions in conjunction with heavy electrification (heating + EV) - For example, peak loading during extreme cold events combined with heavy residential EV use and electrical heating can point towards considerably high peak load values. ■ Conversely our analysis could point to spring day scenarios as causing the max circuit loading because of load demand combined with peak solar generation. ■ Our Team anticipates, and in fact, recommends looking at not just peak summer cases to analyze DER + Load impact for future proof planning, but to look at a combination of several scenarios. We anticipate at least six hourly scenarios are just screening methods. Following is a possible set of scenarios to consider for screening. ► Summer Peak Day ► Summer Peak Night ► Winter Peak Day ■ Winter Peak Night ■ Spring Min Day ■ Spring Min Night ■ There may be cases where performing a time -series analysis would be the best option to capture granular details of load impact. This includes 576 or 8760 hours based analysis, of which we have significant experience. ■ Service transformers and secondaries will be highly impacted by DER penetration and electrification in the future. With ageing infrastructure, we see potentially older neighborhood circuits being impacted. ■ We aim to work with DME in considering asset data to identify potentially vulnerable or less prepared circuits for future load impact. ► Our analysis will include commercial buildings such as parking lots with high EV charging capabilities as impacted locations. Subsequently, our analysis will look at how demand impact at these locations could be offset by rooftop solar. ■ Similarly, as part of considering load impact, we will work with DME to identify models that are divided by varying degrees of residential EV/DER penetration. For example, in our experience,15kV circuits tend to start overloading at 20-25% EV penetration as these circuits tend to cover more premises within a single circuit. ■ With our prior experience in such impact studies, we aim to capture the largest impact of load growth on DME's distribution network, and to propose mitigation measures. This includes utilizing results of any NWA studies. ■ The takeaways of a detailed load impact study may point to several vulnerabilities, need for upgrades and new distribution infrastructure. Our team will look at both wired (circuit rebuild, reconductoring etc.) as well as non -wires based (demand side management, energy storage etc.) as potential long term mitigation solutions. ■ We have a qualified team that has experience in tariff support and rate case development and are keen to support DME in this regard.

DME will benefit from a full-service partner with the ability to seamlessly transition from one phase of the project to the next. Burns & McDonnell can support planning, engineering and design, equipment selection, procurement, construction support, and more. Burns & McDonnell team members have a proven track record of working with clients to review and update Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) and other grid modernization documentation. The key to our success in this arena is to align our approaches and best practices to our clients, gather all the right stakeholders, start from what is developed and work together for improvement and evolution of the process. Burns & McDonnell will assess the existing system, evaluate options, and provide a CIP to stakeholders. This effort will take a phased approach that enables DME to receive and process the results quickly. The proposed phases and subtasks are described below. Stakeholder Consultation and Data Integrity In the first phase, Burns & McDonnell will gather all data required for analysis, review and provide observation and summary. Along with this, Burns & McDonnell will work closely with DME to review objectives, assumptions, data summary, and planning criteria. Finally, DME team will review the existing system models and make necessary adjustments to the model as needed. Holistic Grid Planning and Scenario Development Burns & McDonnell will conduct planning analysis to identify system constraints and develop data -driven reinforcement projects that improve long-term system performance. Burns & McDonnell has ongoing and recent experience executing similar distribution area planning studies for electric utilities across the nation. Our results and recommendations are grounded in feasibility, practicality, and our understanding of distribution study, leading to estimation and construction workflows and considerations. Burns & McDonnell will perform planning analysis to evaluate thermal loadings (current flow), voltage profile, voltage drop, and power factor. Contingency switching scenarios will also be simulated using the Study cases. Based on the constraints identified, potential system improvements will be developed to improve long-term system performance and load serving capabilities. The goal is to recommend projects that align with DME's long-term plan and conceptualize future potential system additions with the appropriate justification. Burns & McDonnell will provide recommendations with a detailed summary of system improvements, including the categories which triggered the recommendations, and preliminary cost estimates for the facility upgrades and additions. A new set of cases will be created from the Study cases by adding the system improvement projects, these will be called the Study+Upgrade cases. The load flow analysis, including contingencies, will be repeated with this set of cases to ensure that all the previously identified constraints were addressed and that new ones were not created. The ultimate load serving capability will also be determined with the system improvement projects incorporated. The type of system improvement projects to enhance load service and reliability in the region may include: Increasing capacity through new substations/transformers/circuits Voltage conversion Area level voltage conversions (often all circuits originating from a single substation) ❑ Circuit level voltage conversions Partial circuit or subsection voltage conversions (reconfiguration + conversion, or utilizing step-up transformers) rr New line devices (capacitor banks, regulators, reclosers) ■ Reconductoring ► Phase balancing ■ Creating circuit ties ■ Distribution automation reconfiguration schemes Future load growth will be allocated in the circuits to consider the growth in the areas. Economic analysis will be conducted for the most feasible plan after discussion and feedback from DME. Throughout the planning and scenario development, Burns & McDonnell team will work with DME to clarify any issues, verify assumptions, and validate results.

Burns & McDonnell will coordinate with DME to review the draft and present the summary of the planning and analysis. Once DME finalizes the draft, Burns & McDonnell will support DME to draft Long -Range Plan including recommendations from analysis and the cost estimates. Then, Burns & McDonnell will work together with DME to draft 10 -year Capital Improvement Plan to perform engineering and economic analysis. Burns & McDonnell will present the final study results to DME. Throughout the entire project, Burns & McDonnell will have a frequent checkpoint with DME to clarify any issues and provide status update on the project process. System Coordination Studies The accommodation of DERs, EVs and Solar generation in the long term pose a variety of challenges, especially around load dense urbanized distribution circuits, as well as long distance rural circuits that are slated to accommodate utility scale inverter - based generation. Typical challenges around technology integration such as the above include: ► Protection reduction of reach due to fault contribution from aggregated inverter -based generation or commercial scale synchronous generation ► Unsynchronized reclosing ► Sympathetic tripping Burns & McDonnell will review DME's protection settings and protection schemes to evaluate system preparedness in addressing faults. We will review the following as part of this project (not limited to): ► Results from solar hosting capacity analysis to identify vulnerable locations and periods that impact system protection. ► Review existing relay settings and protection schemes for circuits that are slated to be most impacted. ► Review of Thevenin equivalent databases for distribution models. Often, this impacts protection studies as databases maybe outdated. We will work with DME to address missing/outdated protection data to re- evaluate the need for updated settings. The main objective of the relay coordination studies is to improve sectionalizing and device coordination which subsequently reduces the impact of electrical outages on DME's system. To reduce transients, momentaries, and the extent of outages (which also reduces operations and maintenance costs), Burns & McDonnell will develop data -driven recommendations to place new sectionalizing devices and modify existing devices. Recloser Placement Reclosers will be used for sectionalizing faults and restoring customers as well as protecting large radial loads. Reclosers will be used to break each circuit into functional "pods". Each pod should have roughly the same number of customers, overhead line exposure and load. Engineering judgment will be used to choose the best locations for these devices; however, street accessibility, future circuit reconfiguration, and high priority customers will affect recloser placement. Pods will also be evaluated for distribution automation throw over schemes and adjusted as necessary. Large radials and radial loads will be evaluated for recloser placement because of the potential operational savings and benefit of having a SCADA enabled device in the area. Protection Coordination The overcurrent protective device settings will be designed to have adequate sensitivity to detect and quickly interrupt the available fault current on all portions of their respective protection zones, while also being high enough not to operate during maximum loading conditions. Where possible, adjacent devices should coordinate with each other throughout the applicable range of available fault current.

In addition to recommending new devices, existing fuses and reclosers will be evaluated and modified as necessary to ensure the cohesive operation of protective devices. Relay Settings File As circuit models are analyzed, protective device settings will be evaluated at various locations for proper coordination and confirmation of expected operation. Once device settings (pickup, curve type, time delay, time adder, etc.) have been determined, device settings will be exported from the study files to tabular formats. Exported device settings will then populate the appropriate relay setting file for future deployment into the field controller. Constructability Review Engineering judgment will be used to choose the most ideal locations for these devices; however, street accessibility, future feeder reconfiguration, and high priority customers will affect recloser placement. Reclosers will also be evaluated for distribution automation throw over schemes and adjusted as necessary. Reporting Regardless of the study we engage on with DME, we agree to deliver on the following: ■ Periodic status report that includes: ► Study plan for review and approval ► Outstanding information needs ► General updates ► Action items ■ Anticipated completion date Final report outlining the study assumptions, methodology, proposed fault level mitigation measures, results, high level cost estimates, and study conclusions. All study cases, including updated power flow and short circuit cases and contingency files. Deliverables Burns & McDonnell will thoroughly document the results of the planning analysis in an agreed upon format that efficiently describes the details of each recommendation textually, visually, and in tabular formats for effective handoff to engineering, procurement, and construction teams for implementation. The deliverables will include planning onelines, equipment change lists, coordination reports, memorandums, TCC curves, relay settings files, and annotated Synergi models. Develop Planning Analysis Automation and Scripts Our team will develop automation scripts and data validations with Synergy that can significantly reduce effort to prepare and execute model analysis and simulations. Utilizing custom coordination reports, DME can quickly confirm proper device coordination is achieved throughout the range of available fault current and that devices are sized adequately based on the full load current. These scrips will be provided to DME upon completion of the study. Review Cost/Benefit Analysis Burns & McDonnell has prepared for our clients per project cost benefit analysis for distribution automation and smart grid initiatives. We have a long track record of creating and customizing cost/benefit analysis approaches to fit individual client needs and strategy drivers. Burns & McDonnell can bring that industry -wide perspective and experience of tailoring cost/ benefit analysis to the review of the existing DME cost benefit analysis and can be a thought partner on future cost/benefit analysis. Distribution Design Burns & McDonnell has a team of distribution engineers and designers with experience working with electric utilities across the nation to complete designs of varying scope and complexity. Our familiarity with the different aspects and steps of project execution help drive our desire to make our clients successful. Burns & McDonnell has long been focused on a holistic distribution design approach. Our planning and design teams are accustomed to working closely with one another to develop solutions that work both electrically and in the real world. Our planners understand distribution design, and our designers understand planning constraints, and this shared knowledge between the teams produces better, faster results.

Should the need arise, Burns & McDonnell also has the capability to provide soil analysis and foundation design typical to many transmission line projects. We have an extensive team of engineering resources specializing in civil/ structural design who can perform all types of analyses and develop installation specifications for non-standard applications. These resources can be called upon for any design work that falls outside of standard distribution pole analysis. Permitting can be a challenging facet to any project. Our local team routinely works with permitting authorities, such as TxDOT, the City of Denton, DART, railroads, DCTA, and environmental agencies, getting to know their submission process and requirements, and securing the permits required to construct the projects. When needed, we have CAD resources available to create site plans, profile drawings, elevation sketches, traffic plans, or other drawings. In addition to interacting with regulatory agencies, we also frequently interface with the public and customers in both technical and non-technical settings, such as conferences and public meeting. To support the surveying needs of the projects, Burns & McDonnell will partner with surveying firms we have relationships with, such as SAM, Gorrondona & Associates, and Sempco. They will provide obstacle and topographic surveys, easement boundary determinations, and staking when precision is required. Burns & McDonnell's engineers and designers will stake pole and guy locations when appropriate. Burns & McDonnell will also acquire permission to survey and provide necessary information to DME when legal efforts are needed. The importance of strong project management and effective communication to a successful project cannot be understated. Burns & McDonnell believes in close coordination and responsive communication with our clients, both in person and virtually. We provide periodic updates on our projects that are thorough and transparent. Our firm currently has over 430 Texas licensed professional engineers with over half of them residing in our Texas offices, who can review and seal drawings for the Denton Municipal Electric Burns & McDonnell has recently provided distribution design services to the following clients. ► American Electric Power (AEP) ► Bandera Electric Coop ■ Big Country Electric Coop ■ Commonwealth Edison (ComEd) ■ DTE Energy ► Duquesne Light Company (DLC) ■ Entergy ► First Energy ■ Hawaii Electric Coop (HECO) ■ Oklahoma Gas & Electric (OG&E) ■ Oncor Electric ► Potomac Electric Power Co.

To this end, standards and specifications need periodic updating to account for new technologies, the current codes, and industry best practices. Our team has experience working with a variety of electric utilities to develop, update, BURNS&MSDONNELU 0 OLY 0f Dertoii - DI' -1t 1 Eiltgmee;',,, DocuSign Envelope ID: CEE6COAA-CC65-4817-B6CA-7923F423EA63 and maintain distribution construction standards, along with material standards and specifications. In some instances, our clients have very targeted needs in this space - they may be updating standards to reflect a new piece of distribution automation equipment. Other times, we are engaged to help our clients with a comprehensive evaluation of all existing standards - reviewing and comparing against industry practices, prioritizing needs, and then helping with the actual execution of the updates. Burns & McDonnell uses a holistic and collaborative approach to standards and specifications development that includes a focus on maintainability, constructability, safety, cost, and compatibility with the clients' existing system. Our experience in industry studies, service on industry committees, vendor relationships, and network of over 2,400 T&D professionals makes Burns & McDonnell uniquely qualified to develop, maintain, and implement standards and specifications. Inspection Services Burns & McDonnell considers site inspections to be an integral part of the design process, used to verify conformance to standards, performance of assets, and identify potential issues. Our team of engineers and designers have extensive experience conducting field inspections throughout the project life cycle. Additionally, our use of technology allows for increased efficiency and added value. During inspections our team routinely uses high- definition cameras, drones, and ArcGIS Collector to collect images, map locations, and take notes during site visits, which become available in real- time to anyone with access. Custom checklists can be developed based on DME's desired information or the type of inspection. Inspections for overhead distribution typically include but is not limited to the following. L, Captured images of each pole, device/ equipment, and conductors Presence of foreign attachments > Notes regarding construction conformance to standards Notes on visible defects and asset health concerns of poles, hardware, and conductors I, Information on equipment, such as transformers, capacitors, reclosers, voltage regulators, fault current indicators, etc. Inspections for underground scopes of work include manhole inspections, if necessary, and information on the underground equipment. Burns & McDonnell has also supported our Texas clients throughout different aspects related to the Texas House Bill HB4150. Inspections for this would utilize similar methods previously discussed, in addition to either ground survey or LiDAR to verify NESC clearances. Our knowledge of the legislation allows us to provide trainings as need as well. In addition to Burns & McDonnell's experience, we can leverage our relationships with subconsultants to provide specific services, such as surveying, thermal inspections, hardware tagging, pole condition testing, and drone inspections. The use of subconsultants will depend on size of scope, schedule, and what would provide the best value for DME.

We suggest a series of workshops to develop a technology modernization roadmap and align the roadmap with the larger organizational modernization objectives. After the roadmap development, we will work with DME to assess specific technologies and their implementation on the DME distribution system.

This includes structured and cost-effective process to extract needed information from system maps and one -line diagrams. We have built our solutions to be flexible for the range of data quality issues typical utility data sets. In other words, our solutions can still be leveraged to provide value even when data quality issues exist. In developing data -driven investment plans for nearly 15 electric utilities for over $10 billion in capital, we have yet to come across data quality issues that preclude the use of our investment planning offerings.

The considerations will include the communication to the appropriate sensors such as network cameras, access control devices and headend components, intrusion detection devices, and other protection sensors. At a high level, our physical security consulting projects follow a methodology that uses the basic flow of gather, document, assess, recommend/evaluate, and implement. The methodology for each project is customized based on the specific circumstances of each engagement. Our team of physical security professionals apply proven methodologies to help you identify the threats faced by your organization, evaluate your risks and develop mitigation strategies using sound security principles. Our application of "protection in depth" strategies create concentric layers of security measures designed to deter threats, detect nefarious activity, delay attempted breaches in security, and allow your organization to respond appropriately to incidents. Gather Implement Da��rient We will take into consideration choices in design, features, implementation, testing, configuration and maintenance for each sensor. Our guidance will be built upon physical security principles, our internal expertise, and the significant body of knowledge and standards that either already exist or are emerging in the industry. 1/IoT Initiatives When considering I/IoT devices in the T&D space, and specifically sensors, the choice of what to monitor, control, report on, and analyze can seem daunting. We understand the difference between monitoring line currents, voltages, differentials, impedance changes, and transients on hundreds of lines is a uniquely different endeavor than real-time monitoring of hundreds -of -thousands of pole sensors reporting on tilt, sway, and degradation across the distribution network. Given the amount of assets in T&D, the next generation of T&D sensors severely ramps up the volume of potential data, requiring large-scale planning and design of the communications network that which will transport it. While we understand the world of traditional and next generation T&D sensors, our value is found in guiding DME through the T&D sensor marketplace with the following variables in mind: P, Understanding the value and cost of adding control, above and beyond monitoring, to your sensor network Specifying technical components within the sensor options to ensure appropriate temperature ratings, battery life, and reliability Capturing the requirements of the end user of the sensor data to ensure the appropriate investment made so DME can effectively choose sensors that simply report state BURNS',kMSDONNELL'0 City of Denton - DME I Ellyiaieering Services I RFQ 7740 DocuSign Envelope ID: CEE6COAA-CC65-4817-B6CA-7923F423EA63 changes or sensors that report trends over time via near constant communications ■ Leverage the big picture of volume, throughput, latency and many other factors to appropriately prepare, design, and enable a field area network capable of reliable communications across the system. Adapting to Change The pace of innovation, technology and software capabilities has shortened the lifetime of state- of-the-art software systems. Replacing software systems every two and half years might be reasonable for a technology company, but simply unreasonable in most other industries. At the same time, you want to capitalize on technology advancements and not be saddled 10 -plus years with systems that prohibit future enhancements in line with the evolution of technology. We apply several different strategies to help systems adapt to change over their service life: ► Build loosely coupled systems — This design pattern implies that system components have little or no knowledge of the other components. Enabling each component to be replaced, updated or redesigned without impacting the entire system. ► Use event -driven messaging — Designing for event -driven messaging allows systems to be integrated or enable new capabilities over the life of the environment. ■ DevOps — Many software systems are upgraded infrequently because of the expense and organizational pain. Using a modern development pipeline and a DevOps culture ensures that applications can be updated frequently and inexpensively. Additional Services Generation Interconnection Studies Over the last decade, Burns & McDonnell has collaborated with various utilities to facilitate the interconnection of distributed generation and utility -scale renewable energy. We have supported utilities in interpreting net metering mandates to enable the integration of export - based distributed generation as well as the interconnection of non -export -based generation for customers seeking to reduce their grid dependency. Objective The objective of each DG Interconnection study is to identify potential adverse impacts that would result from the interconnection. Burns & McDonnell identifies improvements needed to the utility client's system or DG facility to mitigate potential adverse impacts including appropriate mitigation solutions for the customer. Burns & McDonnell conducts all analyses in compliance with industry regulations, client's operating standards, and relevant IEEE Standards including IEEE 1547 and IEEE 519 standards. Studies After performing the necessary model validation and cleanup tasks, Burns & McDonnell incorporates the interconnecting DG system using parameters specified in the DG application documentation such as proposed installation with ratings, configurations, and datasheets of all equipment being used. To identify criteria exceptions attributed to the interconnection of the DG project, load flow, short circuit, protection, voltage flicker, islanding, transient, effective grounding, and harmonics analyses are performed to compare system performance both with and without the interconnection of the DG project. Based on the constraints identified in the analysis, potential system improvement options are developed to alleviate the violations. Burns & McDonnell provides mitigation recommendations with a detailed summary of system improvements, including the categories which triggered the mitigation recommendations, and preliminary cost estimates for the facility upgrades and additions required for the interconnection of the DG project. Burns & McDonnell works closely with the utility client to develop additional mitigation strategies as they evolve.

I' While studies such as Islanding, Transient, Flicker and Harmonic analysis may only be applicable for special cases, we have an experienced team of planning engineers ready to support DME in these types of studies. Interconnection Process Management In addition to performing DG Interconnection studies, Burns & McDonnell has partnered with vendors and clients to create the business processes for interconnection applications. If desired, Burns & McDonnell will work with DME to review and prepare DG Interconnection manuals, setup queue process management, and determine screening and criteria parameters. Non -wire alternatives (NWA) evaluation Our team has robust experience in evaluating system analysis and capital project planning scenarios to identify Non -Wires Alternatives (NWA). Our range of experience in NWAs include battery storage, distributed generation, and related programs such as Volt-Var Optimization (VVO), Conservation Voltage Reduction (CVR), and demand side management programs. Our typical approach includes looking at DME's system areas that are either currently impacted or most vulnerable to future impacts due load and DER growth. The following figure illustrates our typical approach in evaluating study scenarios and their potential NWA solutions. We define feasible solutions as those that last longer, provide resilience and reliability, and are the most cost-effective. At the core, our objective is to evaluate the most appropriate and cost-effective solution for DME. To achieve that, we suggest the consideration of hybrid solutions that include both wires and non - wires solutions. Additionally, regardless of the category designation of a solution (traditional wires vs non -wires), solutions can be a flexible combination of different technologies, and deployments alternatives. For example, if the need is to have distributed generation, but no land is viable for deployment, the project will assume potential rooftop generation or the lowest cost ground -mounted generation.

This includes considering life -cycle costs that include risks for each potential solution. Our final report will include details on potential solutions with associated design and construction costs. Distribution Operations Support Distribution Operations Support is a critical, yet difficult, component of distribution planning. Our Burns & McDonnell team was recently tasked with determining why a circuit exhibited an unexpected voltage rise on one phase of a three-phase circuit. While there are various possible explanations for this, the team suspected induced voltage as the cause because the line was underbuilt for a portion of a 138 kV transmission system. Visually, the issue was obscured by topological constraints, but models and photographic evidence indicated that the lines were built too closely together. This is an example of a case in which our team encountered power quality issues on distribution networks. System outages, power quality difficulties, and equipment failures are all examples of operations support issues that require more than a model to resolve. Often, expertise is critical in identifying false signals and confirming the appropriate level of operations support. Industry Leading Expertise Our industry experts have gained knowledge about distribution operations through industry standards working groups, EPRI initiatives, conferences such as DistribuTECH, and decades of experience working with utilities throughout North America. This provides critical context for DME. For instance, from comprehending how fault interrupters might aid in the prevention of wildfires to managing photovoltaic (PV) on circuits, our staff can provide immediate insight and support that minimizes guesswork or costly trial and error runs. Standard Operating Procedures (SOPS) Burns & McDonnell has prepared operational procedures, contingency plans, and emergency plans. Our team members are now reviewing and suggesting improvements to all three types of DME documents as part of the interconnection work at DME and are concentrating their efforts on addressing power quality issues. Standards are critical to both operation and construction. Distribution Operations includes the physical operation of manual equipment and getting the system running again after a disturbance. With the right standards (and supporting procedures) a system is not just safer for personnel in the field, but much faster to restore, and in some cases much of the restoration can be automated. Our team is committed to reviewing DME's existing operating procedures and standards, and to provide subject matter expertise to address gaps and vulnerabilities. Vendor Selection Support Burns & McDonnell has worked with over a dozen utilities in the previous year to develop bid specifications, request for proposals, and other procurement material. From fun and challenging requirements such as trailer - mounted batteries to technically demanding requirements such as the requirement for filters to minimize circuit harmonics, our team has experience with a broad range of procurement activities. Additionally, our team collaborated with our partner utilities to reduce the number of field construction standards, resulting in simplification of the supply chain while allowing for the growth of stocking levels for SKUs over time. For example, modular substation designs for ComEd in Chicago have reduced the footprint of the substation and reduced the time required to install it to less than 90 days from the first shovel to final commissioning, all while increasing the substation's visibility to the operator through a Distribution Management System (DMS). Our team has also been responsible for developing bid requirements for ADMS, DERMS, DRMS, OMS, and other operational technology systems for our utility clients.

Additionally, we are often chosen to serve as independent 3rd party reviewers (even for work executed by one of our competitors). We can confidently do this efficiently and without bias. Our proposed team has over combined years of experience and has strategically positioned themselves as industry thought leaders, supplementary to their roles on projects. Doug Houseman, for instance, authored significant portions of the IEEE's GridVision 2050, DOE's QER, and CEATI's Distribution Utility Technology Roadmap. Regulatory Filings Our team helps electric utilities establish plans that can help transition the electric grid to meet increasing consumer demands for increased reliability, distributed energy resources, energy efficiency and other new grid technologies. We develop solutions and business cases and perform studies to address the local regulatory environment, financial conditions, near-term objectives, and long-term performance goals. Each utility's regulatory and operational environment is unique, so our team develop customized solutions and appropriate, actionable plans. The plans may identify and prioritize holistic projects that can improve the electric grid's reliability and resiliency. Projects could include new or upgraded distribution circuits, new technology applications, or improvements to vegetation management practices. Burns & McDonnell has supported numerous utilities with various regulatory filings and testimony support before utility commissions or other regulatory bodies and courts. Our project team has experience testifying on depreciation, Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN), integrated resource planning, decommissioning, property tax assessments, and other subjects before several state public service commissions and courts.
