Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The Colony MUD 1E lacks a standalone Emergency Operations Plan and dedicated mass-notification system, relying on county infrastructure while facing recurring hazards and AWIA/SDWA ERP certification mandates. An active RFP for a Multi-Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan Update, due August 2026, and an ongoing address renumbering project further elevate coordination and compliance risk.
The opportunity
FEMA HMGP funding is active and the FY2026 Emergency Management budget has increased to $375K, creating an immediate, funded procurement window. Acting now closes a critical preparedness gap, satisfies federal certification requirements, and positions the entity ahead of the August 2026 planning deadline.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Texas state mandates require annual certified cybersecurity training and documented password security practices, yet no formal password management program is currently in place. A fragmented IT environment with inconsistent security coverage creates compliance gaps and elevates operational risk across county systems and staff.
The opportunity
With IT budgets increasing 19.8% for FY2026 and active cybersecurity modernization already a stated strategic priority, the timing is favorable to close compliance gaps before mandate deadlines. Addressing unified security coverage now reduces audit exposure and strengthens the county's overall cyber resilience.
IT Modernization and Security Monitoring Expansion
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The county operates a fragmented IT environment with no unified approach to security monitoring or vulnerability management, creating measurable coverage gaps. Texas cybersecurity compliance mandates—including annual certified training and password security requirements—add regulatory urgency to an already complex operational risk profile.
The opportunity
A 19.8% IT budget increase to $5.2M in FY2026 provides direct financial capacity to close security gaps and advance modernization priorities. Acting within this fiscal cycle aligns investment with approved appropriations, supports state compliance requirements, and reduces exposure before the next audit or incident window.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Bastrop County has documented vehicle incidents, rising auto insurance costs, and public scrutiny over fleet operations. The Sheriff's Office upgrade initiative explicitly includes GPS tracking and mobile data management for patrol vehicles, signaling an active and defined need for integrated telematics and in-vehicle safety technology.
The opportunity
The Sheriff's Office hardware upgrade initiative creates a near-term procurement window with existing budget precedent and organizational readiness. Addressing fleet visibility and driver safety now reduces insurance liability, strengthens public accountability, and aligns with the county's current FY technology investment trajectory.
Web & Document Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
This special district is subject to Title II ADA WCAG 2.1 Level AA mandates for web and digital document accessibility, creating enforceable compliance obligations. Unaddressed gaps carry legal and reputational risk, and emerging digital document needs tied to hazard mitigation planning are compounding the urgency.
The opportunity
Addressing accessibility compliance now aligns with active FY2026 IT budget growth and ongoing hazard mitigation planning efforts that are generating immediate demand for accessible digital workflows. Proactive remediation reduces legal exposure and supports equitable public access to government information and services.
