From the meeting
At the October 19, 2026 work session, council discussed revisions to a draft data center policy before forwarding it to the Planning Commission. The revisions would treat hyperscale data centers as incompatible, require applicants to explain power needs, and require surety bonds for reclamation and site restoration. Council also discussed footprint, site size, height, water-use, cooling, transparency, and annexation limits, but no ordinance was adopted and no final decision was made.
Decision state: discussed and forwarded for further 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?
