Emergency Operations Planning & Communications Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Recent declared emergencies—including major water main breaks and boil-water advisories—have exposed critical gaps in infrastructure monitoring, outage response, and mass notification. Fragmented communication systems and unaddressed NIMS and Michigan EOP compliance mandates elevate operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
An active fire operations millage renewal and applicable HSGP and BRIC grant windows provide near-term funding pathways aligned with current fiscal planning. Consolidating emergency communications and closing compliance gaps now reduces incident response risk and strengthens community resilience.
Web Accessibility & Digital Content Compliance Modernization
Web Accessibility · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The entity faces an unaddressed WCAG/ADA compliance mandate with a firm deadline and no active remediation plan, creating legal exposure and barriers to resident access. A current CMS contract is expiring within 18 months alongside an ongoing digital services initiative, compounding the urgency for a coordinated response.
The opportunity
A convergence of a hard compliance deadline, an expiring CMS contract, and an active digital services initiative creates a well-defined procurement window within the current planning cycle. Acting now enables the entity to reduce legal risk, improve equitable access to public services, and align remediation costs with available funding pathways and cooperative procurement channels.

Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Vehicle operations are generating significant financial strain, with insurance costs running $354K over budget and a recent accident exposing measurable safety and liability risk. An existing fleet system is in place, pointing to an integration or modernization need rather than a new deployment.
The opportunity
Insurance overruns and demonstrated safety gaps create urgency to act within the current budget cycle, and BRIC grant funding offers a viable pathway to offset costs. Investing in fleet telematics now supports driver safety, reduces liability exposure, and strengthens stewardship of public assets.
Endpoint Security Modernization and MDR Transition
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active managed detection and response (MDR) contract is approaching expiration within 18 months, creating a defined window to renew or competitively replace the service. Legacy endpoint protection alongside an existing Microsoft 365/Azure environment signals consolidation risk and potential identity security gaps that require structured evaluation.
The opportunity
The MDR contract expiration is a concrete procurement trigger aligned with active IT budget adjustments, making this an ideal moment to modernize endpoint and identity security. HSGP funding is a cited pathway for cybersecurity initiatives, and acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces both operational risk and transition costs.
Procurement Operations Modernization via Strategic Sourcing
IT Modernization · Procurement & Sourcing
High Priority
About this project
The entity has approved and is actively advancing a cooperative procurement of a strategic sourcing platform, signaling a clear organizational commitment to modernizing procurement operations. This initiative reflects a broader shift toward structured, technology-enabled purchasing practices that improve transparency, efficiency, and stewardship of public funds.
The opportunity
With budget already approved and implementation as the immediate next phase, this project is positioned for rapid execution within the current fiscal cycle. The established use of cooperative purchasing channels reduces procurement friction and accelerates time-to-value for this and adjacent modernization efforts.
