It was a case of “much ado about nothing.”
The city of Ste. Genevieve received only one qualification submittal for the water/sewer operator contract.
The only company to submit a request for qualifications (RFQ), as it turned out, was Alliance Water Resources – the current contractor for said services.
City administrator Happy Welch said the city is still analyzing the submittal, and negotiations will take place during the next couple of months.
Welch said the goal is to have a new contract ready to approve by the first board of aldermen meeting in July.
What you can learn from the most successful Kickstarter campaigns of all time
There’s a current dearth of trust in the relationship between new entrepreneurs and the banks.
The banks don’t trust the new entrepreneurs. After all, they’re an unproven commodity. They are an element of risk in an industry that has conditioned itself to be extremely risk averse over the past decade.
Moreover, most new entrepreneurs don’t come to the table with vast sums of capital to match the bank’s investment. Often, no matter how strong their business plan may be, no matter how comprehensive the market research, no matter how well calculated and honest the cash flow projections or no matter how original, fresh and downright brilliant the concept may be the entrepreneurs are met time and again with a resounding no.

Mayor Paul Monia called Cochran Engineering’s report on the city’s water/sewer needs and its recommendations and estimated costs of more than $1.8 million for the entire project “eye opening.”
David Van Leer and T.J. Garbs gave about a 40-minute presentation to Monia and the Bloomsdale Board of Aldermen, during the board’s monthly meeting on April 13.
The exhaustive report showed residential, commercial and total water usage by month going back to 2016, traced the city’s population trends since 1970 and estimated it out as far as 2050, when the firm calculates population may be about 962.

Although no updates were received from Cochran Engineering on Bloomsdale’s water and sewer system replacement project, the water system did come up during the 35-minute March 9 board of aldermen meeting.
Water superintendent John Lurk pointed out early in the meeting that during the span of single-digit and below-zero temperatures in late February, the city did not have a single city water main break. Other entities throughout the county were hit hard by some main breaks during the frigid spell.
“I just wanted to let you know there hasn’t been a main waterline break,” Lurk said.
