From the meeting
At its October 20, 2026 briefing, the Planning Commission was updated on Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) code development; no action was taken. The County said it needs a draft BESS ordinance covering zones, standards and conditions, and permissibility, with public outreach starting as early as November 2026. Staff said the draft schedule targets board adoption in May, and the moratorium extension request sets a final ordinance adoption deadline of June 5, 2027.

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 Kitsap County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Kitsap County's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
