From the meeting
At its October 19, 2026 meeting, Town Council continued discussion of the proposed Data Center Policy Update. The October 13 staff memo said the policy would guide supplemental zoning ordinance amendments and the special use permit process, with hyperscale data centers removed from consideration. Council discussed limits, bonding, construction standards, complaint handling, and county ordinance provisions, but no final policy was adopted.
The next step remained further Council and Planning Commission review.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will Town of Orange issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Orange's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with Town of Orange before the RFP is published?
