From the meeting
On November 4, 2026, staff presented proposed amendments to the Land Development Code and Centennial Municipal Code for utility and industrial uses. The memo said the City had received multiple inquiries about large-scale Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS) and proposed defining BESS, setting siting and separation standards, and adding review steps. Staff also proposed prohibiting new evaporative cooling systems and cooling towers in new commercial, office, multifamily, and industrial buildings.
No formal action was requested at this meeting; staff sought feedback before public hearings planned for November 18, 2026 and December 15, 2026.

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 City of Centennial issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Centennial'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 City of Centennial 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.
