Key procurement-related topics included the requirement for a 5A security bond as a financial guarantee, stipulations on buffer zones and screening, and mandates for public informational meetings prior to project approval. The committee also debated property value guarantees for residents within a five-mile radius of proposed data centers, appraisal procedures, and the duration of such guarantees.
