The summer has been an unusually
busy season for us here at RMPI. We expanded our
staff to handle our new funds control product - Resource
Monitoring Services. Resource Monitoring Services has
helped two of our new contractor clients this month obtain public works
contracts that they otherwise would not have been awarded. RMPI was
instrumental in getting these contractors mobilization loans and bonding in
order to meet the municipality’s requirements for participation. RMPI also financed these
contractors through the Contractor Financing program
supplying the total $500,000 required for the projects, therefore not only
offering a service to help these contractors get their projects, but also the
finances with which to work the projects.
As the summer winds down and Fall
beings to wind up, we here at RMPI look forward to
helping other contractors (working on public works contracts) obtain
both the work and finances they need in order to grow their business, and make
business easier!

- If Detroit automakers are ever going to kick the incentive habit that has
decimated their profits in recent years, now is their chance.
Both General Motors (nyse: GM- news - people ) and Ford Motor (nyse: F-
news - people ) are making
their biggest push yet to wean consumers off those costly rebates with new
"value pricing" strategies announced Aug. 1. By lowering sticker prices on most
2006 models, GM and Ford figure they won't have to bribe customers to buy a car
with discounts of more than $4,000 anymore. Good luck. (More)

SPACE
CENTER, Houston - A spacewalking astronaut gently pulled two potentially
dangerous strip of protruding fabric from Discovery’s belly with his gloved
hand Wednesday, successfully completing an unprecedented emergency repair job.
Astronaut Stephen Robinson said both pieces came
out easily. He did not have to use a makeshift hacksaw put together in orbit
that he brought along just in case.
“That came out very easily, probably even less
force,” Robinson said of the second piece.
