Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Watts Bar Utility District lacks a publicly identified Emergency Operations Plan and operates a notification system limited to internal operational alarms, leaving the public without emergency communication coverage. Compliance mandates require maintaining and updating an EOP, and documented severe weather exposure without continuity planning elevates both operational and regulatory risk.
The opportunity
With over $166K in annual emergency management and public safety tech spend and confirmed cooperative purchasing membership, the district has both the budget capacity and a streamlined procurement path to act now. Addressing these gaps closes a critical compliance obligation and protects service continuity for the communities the district serves.

Cybersecurity Compliance · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A required cybersecurity plan deadline has already passed, leaving the district in an active compliance gap with elevated regulatory exposure. Identified needs include strengthening password security and implementing centralized credential management — with no current solution in place to address either.
The opportunity
The lapsed compliance deadline creates immediate remediation urgency, making inaction a growing liability. An existing managed IT services agreement signals established IT investment and a procurement pathway that can accelerate resolution within the current fiscal cycle.

Fleet Management · Utility Operations Safety
High Priority
About this project
The district operates a vehicle-intensive utility fleet with no documented deployment of telematics or dash camera technologies, creating unmitigated safety and liability exposure. As connected field infrastructure expands through ongoing cellular meter conversion, the gap between operational visibility and asset monitoring risk widens.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing membership enables a streamlined, competitively compliant procurement path without a lengthy RFP process, reducing time-to-deployment. Addressing fleet safety now aligns with active infrastructure investment cycles and positions the district to reduce operational risk before incidents drive reactive spending.

IT Modernization · Infrastructure Management
High Priority
About this project
The district maintains an active managed IT services agreement alongside $1.4M+ in annual IT and software spend, yet growing infrastructure complexity—including a cellular water meter conversion—signals expanding oversight demands. Gaps in centralized endpoint management and security tooling introduce operational and compliance risk across critical utility systems.
The opportunity
An established budget line and cooperative purchasing membership support expedited, compliant procurement without a lengthy bid cycle. Addressing endpoint management and security tooling gaps now aligns with the upcoming fiscal planning cycle and reduces exposure from a lapsed cybersecurity compliance deadline.
