MI2’s offices are located in O’Fallon, MO, at 1001 Boardwalk Springs Place in Wing Haven. The principals of MI2 are the former owners of ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CORPORATION, or “EMC”. We grew EMC as a contract operations business from zero contracts in 1982 to over 60 contracts with municipalities and industries by the year 2002, which is the year we sold the business. EMC lead and managed a combined workforce of over 400 people,approximately 200 of which were municipal employees that EMC contractually managed.
Our key message is that MI2 will bring real value for the following reasons:
- We understand water and wastewater treatment technologies;
- We understand how treatment facilities need to be managed and maintained;
- We are experienced with the development of capital planning in partnership with the City;
- We are experienced in providing assistance to the City’s staff in managing capital projects; and
- We have an excellent track record of providing single-source responsibility for the program management of capital projects with accompanying cost and performance guarantees.
MI2 is unique in our approach to contract operations. We strongly believe and have proven over the years that contract operations is a PEOPLE business. Fundamentally, it is about leadership and management of people, experience and knowledge of the technical aspects of the treatment technologies, complete knowledge of all state and federal regulations, a commitment to the safety of the community and its employees, and the commitment to provide services to the City. The challenge of contract operations is to be able to provide all of these benefits while at the same time holding the City’s sewer and water rates steady and providing a fixed annual cost for the operation that is less than its current expenditures.
Where We Have Worked
The scope of work in the following list of our first company’s projects was: water treatment, wastewater treatment, sludge disposal or public works management and in some communities a combination of scopes of work. The majority of the projects mentioned in the 3-state region of Missouri, Illinois and Indiana were municipal projects. The majority of the projects outside of this 3-state territory were industrial projects and/or sludge disposal projects. (One of the reasons we named our new company MI2 is to reflect our regional geographic focus; the M stands for Missouri and the I2 stands for Illinois and Indiana.)
