Emergency Operations Plan Review & Compliance Readiness
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Scio Township lacks a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan and scores 2/5 on emergency preparedness, with no after-action reports for recent severe weather and reliance on county-level alerts. Compliance with Michigan Publication 201 and NIMS is mandated, and non-compliance risks loss of critical preparedness funding.
The opportunity
A federal disaster declaration and expiring county service contracts create a near-term window to act, with $180,725 already allocated to public safety tech and additional state and federal grant funding available. Advancing EOP development now reduces compliance risk, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with active budget planning and the current fiscal cycle.
Emergency Alert & Coordinated Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Scio Township currently depends on Washtenaw County's shared platform for emergency alerts, leaving the township without an independent mass notification capability. An Emergency Preparedness Gap score of 2/5 and compliance obligations under Michigan Publication 201 and NIMS signal significant operational and funding risk if gaps go unaddressed.
The opportunity
The expiration of Washtenaw County Police Service Unit contracts in December 2026 creates a near-term decision window to establish sovereign notification capabilities. Hazard mitigation priorities in the Michigan Hazard Mitigation Plan, available public safety grants, and active capital budget planning make this an actionable, fundable initiative within the current fiscal cycle.
Managed IT Services & Endpoint Security Modernization
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The township has an active RFP seeking patch management, antivirus, mobile device management, managed SOC, security monitoring, and vulnerability testing. Understaffed IT capacity and no documented enterprise endpoint management solution expose the township to significant operational and cybersecurity risk.
The opportunity
An active RFP and confirmed annual IT and software budget of $230,400 signal immediate procurement readiness. Co-op contract vehicles are available to streamline award, and the project aligns with the current fiscal planning cycle to reduce security exposure and strengthen service continuity.
Enterprise Credential Security for Township IT
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Scio Township lacks a documented enterprise password management solution, creating measurable cybersecurity exposure across staff and systems. This gap is especially critical given the township's active Managed IT Services RFP and reliance on external IT providers for core security functions.
The opportunity
The open Managed IT Services RFP and confirmed co-op procurement vehicles create a timely, low-friction path to close this credential security gap. With an annual IT spend profile supporting investment and cybersecurity-eligible grant funding available, acting within the current procurement cycle reduces risk and strengthens compliance posture.
Hazard Mitigation Planning & Exercise Management
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Scio Township's Michigan Hazard Mitigation Plan identifies mitigation projects as a top strategic priority, yet gaps in EOP documentation and after-action reporting leave the township exposed to recurring severe weather risks and out of compliance with state and federal preparedness standards.
The opportunity
A federal disaster declaration history and active HSGP grant eligibility create a near-term funding pathway, while the township's approved Capital Improvement Plan and active budget cycle signal financial readiness to act before the upcoming fiscal window closes.
