Texas Commission on Environmental Quality

Scope of Work

SmartComment for the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality: the multilingual public-comment platform, sourced and renewed by Acachi.

Description

Public input shapes Texas environmental policy, and SmartComment is built to collect, manage, and analyze it at scale. Translation services are included, so non-English-speaking communities can take part too.
Acachi handles the acquisition and renewals for TCEQ through the Texas DIR STS IT Commodities program (Texas Government Code §2155.067), matching a solution that meets the agency's accessibility mandates to a fair, open-market process.
A small piece of a bigger goal: keeping public participation open to every Texan, in any language.
