From the meeting
Lake County BZA scheduled a special exception for Van Kalker Family Limited Partnership and Foundry Works Energy Storage to allow a battery energy storage system (BESS) facility east of Clay Street in Eagle Creek Township. The item was deferred by the Plan Commission on 2026-06-16 and was on the 2026-10-21 agenda for hearing. The decision was still open at this meeting, so the practical next step was the board vote on whether to allow the project.

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 Lake County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Lake County'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 Lake County 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.
Where can I find more utilities government opportunities in Indiana?
