From the meeting
At its September 1, 2026 meeting the Selectboard approved moving a citizen's petition to the November 3, 2026 special town meeting warrant for a 180-day moratorium on new commercial ground-mounted solar energy facilities. The petition says the town will review its comprehensive plan, land-use ordinance, permitting standards, siting requirements, environmental safeguards, and decommissioning and financial-assurance rules. This is a policy trigger that could lead to consulting, ordinance drafting, and review work once the town starts that process.

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 Jay issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Town of Jay'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 Jay 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.
