THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The district is responding to large-scale battery energy storage (BESS) projects proposed near its Sunflower Street Campus and Cooper School, some advancing under California AB 205 that can override local safety rules. Board materials discuss drafting a resolution to legislators and advocating with local leaders for safer siting and safer long-duration storage technologies. This is a policy and risk-management effort, not a named purchase yet, but it may drive future needs for legal, environmental risk, emergency planning, and technical consulting to assess BESS impacts near schools.
Corby 300 MW BESS project using CEC AB 205 pathway is cited as a nearby risk; Vacaville draft BESS ordinance is also referenced.

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.
