From the meeting
At its October 7, 2026 workshop, the Planning Commission kicked off year two of the periodic update grant for a solar and battery energy storage system (BESS) ordinance. Kimley-Horn presented a draft schedule, and staff said the consultant contract runs through the end of May 2027. The commission discussed setbacks, agrivoltaics, graphics, and code testing, so the rule set is still being shaped before adoption.

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 Whitman County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Whitman County'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 Whitman County before the RFP is published?
Vendors who reach out during the planning window can help shape requirements and build relationships with the decision-makers running the project. A free Civic IQ account sends you the pre-RFPs that fit what you sell, with the AI brief and the decision makers for the top matches in each digest.
Where can I find more environmental services government opportunities in Washington?
