City Of Burwell, Inc.

City Of Burwell, Inc., operating as the Burwell Airport Authority, is a U.S. local government entity and airport authority based in Burwell, Nebraska, that receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient for airport infrastructure rehabilitation and capital improvement projects. The vendor operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient with no federal contract prime or subcontract work; all sixteen awards in recent activity are project and formula grants from the Federal Aviation Administration.

The Burwell Airport Authority's federal grant portfolio centers on two parallel infrastructure initiatives funded through FAA programs. The first is runway, taxiway, and apron rehabilitation under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116). A $545,263.16 project grant awarded April 30, 2026, funds rehabilitation of 2,300 linear feet of Taxiway A, 3,900 linear feet of Runway 15/33, and 4,100 square yards of primary apron pavement, with completion targeted for April 29, 2030. The second and more voluminous initiative is a multi-phase aircraft hangar construction project (3,600 square feet, sponsor-owned) that has received funding through multiple federal grant programs including the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106), and supplemental appropriations under the Coronavirus Relief and Response Supplemental Appropriations Act and the American Rescue Plan Act. The hangar project is structured as a five-phase effort with phased federal funding; a $466,315.79 Airport Infrastructure Grants award from April 9, 2026, funds the final construction phase with completion expected June 8, 2027. Earlier phases dating to June 2023 have funded between 8% and 35% of total project costs each, with remaining eligible costs covered by complementary AIP and Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act grants. A $67,231.85 American Rescue Plan Act project grant from November 16, 2021, provided pandemic-relief funding for airport operations, personnel, cleaning, and sanitization.

Customer concentration is minimal: 100% of awards flow from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration, split between FAA Central Region (13 awards) and FAA (3 awards). Activity has been modest and sporadic — two awards in 2022 and 2023, one in 2024, one in 2025, and two in 2026 — with five awards reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months. Combined obligated dollars across all sixteen grants total $6.4 million. The Burwell Airport Authority operates as a subsidiary division under the parent City Of Burwell, Inc., a municipality and council of governments entity.
