Mass Notification System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's mass notification contract expires October 2026 with no automatic renewal, creating a critical continuity risk for public alerting. A tabletop exercise revealed multi-agency communication gaps and the need for updated EMS-specific standard operating procedures, elevating operational and compliance exposure.
The opportunity
The FY2027 budget adoption in September 2026 and the October contract expiration create an immediate decision window requiring action this fiscal cycle. PHEP grant funding supports Multi-Year Integrated Preparedness Plan requirements, providing a viable funding pathway to modernize and consolidate emergency notification capabilities.

Public Safety · Emergency Management
High Priority
About this project
The county's public-safety information system contract expires January 2027, requiring a replacement or modernization of regional PSAP and dispatch capabilities before service continuity is at risk. This high-urgency initiative is in active planning, with the FY2027 budget cycle closing in September 2026—leaving a narrow window for evaluation and procurement decisions.
The opportunity
The convergence of the January 2027 contract expiration and the September 2026 FY2027 budget adoption creates a firm, near-term decision window. Acting now allows the county to consolidate emergency management platforms, align with available federal preparedness funding, and reduce operational and continuity risk for residents and first responders.

Discuss this project →EMS Electronic Patient Care Reporting Modernization
EMS Technology · Field Operations
High Priority
About this project
The county's EMS operation currently lacks a dedicated electronic patient care reporting platform, creating documentation gaps that affect service delivery quality, data accuracy, and continuity of care. A $561k ePCR system has been formally proposed as part of a broader EMS field-technology modernization effort, signaling active planning but no solution in place.
The opportunity
With a $561k budget line item proposed and FY2027 adoption targeted for September 2026, the procurement decision window is near-term and well-defined. Acting within this cycle positions the county to close a critical documentation gap, strengthen EMS accountability, and align with broader field-technology modernization goals.
EMS Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The county's 46-vehicle EMS fleet operates without a telematics platform, creating visibility gaps in safety, utilization, and risk management. A $159k liability settlement and two unrepairable vehicles underscore the operational and financial consequences of deferred fleet oversight.
The opportunity
Dedicated funding—including a $250k budget transfer and $118k+ in vehicle replacements—is already allocated, and a cooperative procurement contract provides a streamlined acquisition path. Acting within the current fiscal cycle positions the county to reduce liability exposure and strengthen EMS service delivery.
TIPS Contract No. 240901
Discuss this project →Cybersecurity & Identity Management Modernization
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The county has active compliance mandates around password security and identity management, with annual cybersecurity training deadlines approaching. Open IT leadership positions signal an understaffed security function, elevating operational risk across a countywide initiative spanning identity, endpoint, and access management.
The opportunity
The BJA FY 2026 JAG Program offers up to $4.9M for information systems and technology improvements, directly applicable to this initiative. Acting within the current grant window and fiscal planning cycle allows the county to close compliance gaps, reduce risk exposure, and support a lean IT team.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility Compliance Remediation by 2027
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Fort Bend County faces a mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 2027, requiring active remediation across web, mobile, intranet, cloud applications, forms, and public-facing services. Current gaps in compliance elevate legal and operational risk, and unaddressed barriers limit equitable access to county services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The April 2027 deadline creates a firm procurement and implementation timeline, making action during the current fiscal cycle essential to avoid regulatory exposure. The county's active digital transformation initiatives and strong annual IT investment signal readiness to fund and execute a remediation effort of this scope.
