THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Construction and operation of a battery energy storage system (BESS) at 6709 East Troy Road.
The project is on a 10-acre parcel. It will have 110 batteries initially, expanding to 132 at full buildout. The township negotiated a host community agreement for $100,000 annually and half a million in grants. The facility will be remotely monitored 24/7 and have a plant operator on-site during business hours. The batteries are cooled with an ethylene glycol water mixture in a closed-loop system. A well providing 60 gallons per minute and a 30,000-gallon tank for fire suppression are planned. An emergency operations plan will be developed with the fire chief.

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.

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