IT Managed Services & Cybersecurity Infrastructure Procurement
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The county has an active RFP for IT Managed Services encompassing cybersecurity and infrastructure updates across a diverse, multi-vendor environment. Without unified endpoint management and remote monitoring, operational continuity and CJIS compliance remain at risk.
The opportunity
An approved cybersecurity grant and active procurement cycle create an immediate, funded window to address critical IT and security gaps. Acting within this cycle supports compliance mandates, reduces operational risk, and aligns with near-term budget and staffing growth.

Cybersecurity · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
An approved cybersecurity grant targeting a dual MFA deployment is in place, but a diverse county IT environment creates identity and access vulnerabilities across multiple systems. CJIS compliance mandates stronger authentication controls, elevating both regulatory and operational risk if action is delayed.
The opportunity
Secured grant funding creates immediate budget availability with defined procurement timelines. Acting within the current cycle ensures compliance with CJIS mandates, reduces exposure across critical systems, and maximizes the impact of approved public funds before the window closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Montcalm County has identified preparedness gaps including undocumented EOP review history and no public records of exercises or audits, elevating compliance and operational risk. These gaps increase vulnerability during emergency events and may conflict with EMPG grant requirements.
The opportunity
Active EMPG grant alignment and participation in the County Hazard Mitigation Plan signal both funding availability and organizational readiness to act now. Addressing EOP gaps this fiscal cycle strengthens community resilience, supports grant compliance, and reduces liability during declared emergencies.
Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's current mass notification system lacks verified modern capabilities, creating a gap in reliable communication with residents and staff during emergencies. Combined with an overdue EOP review, this elevates operational and public safety risk across the county.
The opportunity
Emergency management grant funding, including EMPG and BRIC-aligned windows, supports notification and preparedness upgrades with potential for limited local match. Acting now aligns with the active EOP review cycle and strengthens the county's compliance posture and incident response readiness.
County-Wide Fleet Visibility and Public Safety Expansion
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Vehicle tracking is currently limited to EMS, leaving the broader county fleet without consistent visibility into driver behavior, utilization, or incident response readiness. This gap creates operational risk and limits the county's ability to ensure accountability and service delivery across public safety functions.
The opportunity
Expanding fleet coverage county-wide aligns with public safety budget priorities and may be eligible for state-level grant funding in the current fiscal cycle. Acting now builds on existing infrastructure investment and strengthens operational oversight across all county departments.
