From the meeting
The council discussed supporting a State framework to guide responsible development of data centers in Maryland. The priorities call for standards on clean energy, water use, pollution, noise, grid impacts, public reporting, and labor standards, while preserving local flexibility. This is not a procurement, but it is a policy signal that could shape future data center approvals and related vendor work.

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