Managed IT Services & Cybersecurity Compliance Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active RFP for IT Managed Services with an imminent procurement deadline, driven by CJIS compliance requirements and a complex, multi-vendor network environment. Gaps in endpoint security and identity management elevate operational and regulatory risk across county systems and public safety functions.
The opportunity
An active procurement window and cybersecurity grant funding for MFA create immediate pathways to address compliance mandates and reduce risk within the current fiscal cycle. Cooperative purchasing vehicles are available to streamline procurement and accelerate implementation timelines.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Montcalm County faces documented gaps in Emergency Operations Plan maintenance and NIMS implementation, including no confirmed EOP status and no evidence of HSEEP-style exercises. These deficiencies elevate regulatory and operational risk, particularly during active emergency events affecting residents and first responders.
The opportunity
State-level grant funding and increased emergency services appropriations provide direct, near-term pathways to address these compliance gaps. Acting within the current budget cycle reduces audit exposure, strengthens coordinated response capacity, and ensures the county meets federal preparedness standards.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county relies on fragmented mass-alert tools, creating gaps in emergency communication reliability and coordination. The unknown status of the current notification system compounds readiness risks and undermines EOP and NIMS compliance obligations.
The opportunity
Consolidating notification systems aligns with active EOP and NIMS compliance work and may be eligible for Homeland Security grant funding in the current cycle. Acting now reduces operational risk and strengthens coordinated response capacity for residents and staff.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & ADA Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county faces a firm April 24, 2026 deadline to meet WCAG/ADA web accessibility standards across public-facing digital portals. Unresolved gaps create legal exposure and limit equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The defined compliance deadline creates a clear, time-bound window to act within the current fiscal cycle before legal and reputational risk escalates. Remediation efforts may align with state digital equity funding and strengthen public trust in government services.
Expand Fleet Safety and Telematics Capabilities
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county has made recent capital investments in vehicle cameras and GPS tracking, signaling a clear commitment to fleet safety. Expanding these capabilities can reduce liability exposure, improve driver accountability, and support responsible stewardship of public assets.
The opportunity
Prior capital purchases demonstrate budget readiness and organizational momentum for continued fleet safety investment. Cooperative purchasing agreements offer streamlined procurement pathways, and expanded telematics may align with public safety funding available in the current fiscal cycle.
