From the meeting
The draft Land Development Code added definitions for Data Center and Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and placed both uses in the I-1 and I-2 districts. A public comment asked the county to add use-specific standards covering water use, cooling, backup generators, noise, fire-safety review, and decommissioning security. The source says Mesa County had no active data center applications at the time of the comments.
Decision state: informational and not yet tied to a specific 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 Mesa County issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks Mesa 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 Mesa 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.
