P25 Radio Infrastructure Upgrade for Public Safety Communications
Emergency Management · Public Safety Communications
High Priority
About this project
The City of El Paso has identified critical gaps in emergency communications, including delayed public notification and unverified EOP review status, elevating operational and compliance risk. This P25 Radio Infrastructure project is funded and classified as high urgency, with NIMS compliance required for continued federal grant eligibility.
The opportunity
Dedicated FY2027 funding is confirmed for this initiative, and active grant opportunities align directly with emergency communications infrastructure. Advancing procurement now ensures NIMS compliance, closes preparedness gaps, and positions the city to protect residents and maintain federal funding eligibility.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
An $88K contract has been awarded for a Multi-Hazard Mitigation Plan Update, with a FEMA grant application pending, yet critical gaps remain: an unverified EOP review date, delayed public notification during a water main break, and power resilience vulnerabilities at critical facilities. NIMS adoption is required to maintain federal grant eligibility, elevating compliance urgency.
The opportunity
Active grant funding and a pending FEMA application create an immediate window to close preparedness gaps and meet NIMS compliance requirements. Addressing these gaps now protects federal funding eligibility, strengthens community resilience, and aligns with current budget allocations before the fiscal cycle closes.

Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
A documented delay in public notification during a water main break exposed a critical gap in mass notification capability, contributing to a high Emergency Preparedness Gap score and raising compliance risk under NIMS standards required for federal funding eligibility.
The opportunity
An active FEMA grant application and funded Hazard Mitigation Plan Update create a favorable window to close notification gaps, strengthen emergency readiness, and satisfy federal compliance mandates ahead of the upcoming fiscal planning cycle.

Web Accessibility · Digital Equity
High Priority
About this project
A funded city website redesign is actively underway, with WCAG/ADA compliance requirements governing public-facing digital portals. Gaps in accessibility expose the city to compliance risk and limit equitable access to government services for residents with disabilities.
The opportunity
The redesign initiative is funded and high urgency, creating an immediate window to embed accessibility standards before build-out is finalized. Acting now ensures compliance alignment, reduces remediation costs, and supports equitable digital service delivery within the current project cycle.

Discuss this project →Fire Fleet Telematics & Vehicle Monitoring Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The fire department's fleet currently lacks dash cameras and telematics, creating an evidence and operational monitoring gap that elevates liability and accountability risk. Applicable fleet compliance mandates and a longer-term transition to low/zero-emission vehicles further underscore the need for a structured, scalable monitoring framework.
The opportunity
Cooperative purchasing vehicles already familiar to the department can streamline procurement and reduce administrative burden within the current budget cycle. Addressing this gap proactively strengthens compliance posture, supports future fleet modernization planning, and improves operational visibility for fire department leadership.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The organization's existing IT environment presents integration gaps in endpoint and identity management, with cybersecurity mandates still maturing. With total IT spend exceeding $32M and an expiring agenda software contract creating an active decision window, unaddressed vulnerabilities pose growing operational and compliance risk.
The opportunity
An FY2027 budget increase inclusive of IT and information security funding, alongside tribal broadband and cybersecurity grant pathways, creates a timely opening to advance endpoint protection. Acting within the current fiscal cycle reduces risk exposure and aligns investment with already-approved organizational priorities.
