EOC Backup Power & Emergency Continuity Upgrade
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's Emergency Operations Center lacks backup generator power, creating a critical continuity gap during disasters. The absence of a publicly available Emergency Operations Plan compounds NIMS and Hazard Mitigation Plan compliance obligations, elevating operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Grant deadlines in July 2026 through HSGP and BRIC create a near-term funding window for this $750,000 project, with the township's existing public safety tech allocation signaling budget readiness. Acting now addresses compliance mandates, reduces mission risk, and positions the township to maximize eligible state and federal funding.
Outdoor Warning Siren System Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township has identified a critical gap in its outdoor warning infrastructure, with a scoped need of $111,000 to modernize storm sirens. Without updated systems, residents face elevated public safety risk during severe weather and emergency events.
The opportunity
Grant programs including HSGP and BRIC align directly with this project, and upcoming July 2026 deadlines create near-term urgency for procurement action. Advancing this initiative now protects residents, satisfies emergency management obligations, and leverages available funding before the window closes.
Cybersecurity Credential Protection and Access Management
Cybersecurity · IT Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township has experienced compromised credentials and lacks a formal password management policy, creating an immediate cybersecurity compliance gap. Ongoing website authentication vulnerabilities point to broader identity and access management deficiencies that elevate risk to public systems and resident data.
The opportunity
Grant programs with deadlines in July 2026 offer potential funding pathways, and the township's established IT budget indicates capacity to act within the current fiscal cycle. Addressing this gap now reduces breach exposure, supports compliance mandates, and strengthens the security posture of public-facing systems.

Discuss this project →Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Works Safety
High Priority
About this project
The township's large Department of Public Works fleet currently operates without telematics or dashcam coverage, creating measurable gaps in driver accountability, incident documentation, and liability exposure. With local traffic incidents drawing media attention and a 2025–2030 Capital Improvement Plan expected to include fleet replacement, the operational and safety risk of inaction is growing.
The opportunity
The active CIP planning window and grant-funded EV charging initiative signal fleet modernization momentum, making this an ideal time to advance telematics adoption. Funding may be eligible through cooperative procurement vehicles and upcoming grant cycles, reducing local budget impact while improving public safety outcomes.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Portal Compliance Upgrade
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The township's public-facing web portal currently meets WCAG 2.0 standards but falls short of the WCAG 2.1 requirement, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities. Closing this gap is a compliance obligation with direct implications for service delivery and public trust.
The opportunity
WCAG 2.1 conformance is an active and time-sensitive compliance driver, and the township's existing digital infrastructure provides a foundation for a targeted, cost-efficient uplift. This project aligns with the current budget planning cycle and may qualify for state or federal accessibility funding, reducing local fiscal impact.

Discuss this project →Centralized Endpoint Visibility and IT Management
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity Compliance
High Priority
About this project
Chesterfield Township operates multiple IT systems under an active service contract, yet lacks centralized endpoint visibility—creating blind spots that compound known cybersecurity gaps, including compromised credentials and absent password policy. Without unified monitoring, the township faces elevated operational and compliance risk across its infrastructure.
The opportunity
Grant programs with July 2026 deadlines offer a viable funding pathway for IT and cybersecurity modernization, aligning with the township's annual budget cycle and existing $273,360 IT spend. Acting now reduces audit exposure, strengthens compliance posture, and supports continuity of public services.
