From the meeting
At the September 24, 2026 Environment Board meeting, the board voted to authorize the chair to send a memo to City Council asking it to consider a moratorium on the data center zoning application. This was a policy trigger, not a purchase. The issue matters because it could delay or reshape a major data center project and its future infrastructure needs.

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