THE 30-SECOND BRIEF

What's planned

Dominion Energy is seeking a Special Use Permit to modernize and expand the Elm electric substation at Madison and Linden Streets, including new transformers, breakers, fencing, and landscaping on consolidated parcels. A July 21, 2026 Planning Commission work session reviewed updated concept plans, access, fencing height (8 feet with barbed wire), VDOT entrance upgrades, setbacks, and enhanced evergreen buffering, with a 100‑day review period ending October 29, 2026. Once the SUP and subsequent site plan are approved, Dominion and its engineer Kimley‑Horn will advance detailed design and construction, creating opportunities for civil work, site electrical construction, fencing, landscaping, and traffic control vendors.

Background

Dominion will self-administer erosion and sediment control and stormwater under DEQ-approved standards but must coordinate with the Town as an MS4. Existing entrances from Madison and Linden will be used, with the Madison entrance upgraded to a VDOT CG-13 commercial entrance. Enhanced evergreen screening and reduced front setbacks along Linden are requested as part of the SUP.

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 Warrenton's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
