Water Utility Modernization The City operates its own groundwater well and water treatment plant, using SCADA in its utilities stack. This signals a clear opportunity for modern, secure SCADA upgrades, asset management, and data analytics to improve reliability, compliance, and water quality reporting. Potential sales areas include remote monitoring, maintenance scheduling, and regulatory reporting tools for municipal water systems.

Transparency and Engagement Recent collaboration with Tripepi Smith to boost transparency suggests a strong interest in digital engagement and open communication with residents. Opportunities exist to offer citizen portals, open data dashboards for water usage and budgets, enhanced website and social media integrations, and staff training on public-facing dashboards to improve trust and engagement.

Public Safety Solutions As a contract city for police and fire with Los Angeles County, Lomita may benefit from integrated public safety solutions, emergency management, and grant management services. Potential sales avenues include dispatch/incident analytics, interoperability improvements, training programs, and procurement support for safety software and equipment.

Sustainability and Efficiency With sustainability and water management priorities, there are chances to propose energy efficiency projects, solar initiatives, water conservation programs, and sustainability reporting. Services could include grant writing, environmental impact dashboards, and program management to help meet local and state environmental goals.

IT Modernization The technology footprint appears to rely on legacy tools such as Excel, Windows, and jQuery alongside standard Microsoft products. This presents an opportunity to discuss IT modernization including cloud-based financials, enterprise asset management, cybersecurity, and managed IT services tailored to a small-to-mid sized city budget.
