City Of Alexandria

City Of Alexandria, doing business as Building Services, is a U.S. municipal government entity and transit authority based in Alexandria, Louisiana, operating as a prime recipient of federal transit and emergency-management grants. The organization does not hold federal contracts, Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity agreements, or General Services Administration schedules; it operates exclusively as a federal grant recipient through the Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration and Federal Emergency Management Agency, with no subcontract presence in the federal market.

City Of Alexandria's federal footprint concentrates entirely on public transit operations and capital investment for the ATRANS system. Recent grant activity includes a $5.498 million Federal Transit Formula Grants award (CFDA 20.507) issued May 21, 2026, funding operational and preventive maintenance activities for approximately three years through October 1, 2029, covering salaries, wages, benefits for operating and maintenance staff, fuel, parts, and other transit service costs within the City of Alexandria service area. An earlier $1.495 million allocation under the same program (February 20, 2024, completing November 28, 2024) funded operating costs and the purchase and installation of bus shelters, with the City providing 50/50 local match for operations and 80/20 match for capital. A third transit formula grant award (September 4, 2024, completing February 25, 2026) similarly funded operational costs and staffing. The organization also holds grant awards for vehicle acquisition — a $161,995 balance-of-funds authorization (June 2, 2022, completing April 6, 2026) for replacement support vehicles — and a budget amendment (July 26, 2022, completing August 6, 2025) that reallocated $57,040 in shop equipment funds to operating expenses. City Of Alexandria appears as a sub-recipient on a single Federal Emergency Management Agency award (January 4, 2024) under its parent entity, City Of Alexandria Administration, for emergency protective measures coded CAD001B.

The Department of Transportation's Federal Transit Administration accounts for 29 of 30 total awards (97% of prime activity) and $52.6 million in combined dollars obligated across the entire dataset spanning 1999 to 2026. The one remaining award routes through FEMA as a sub-grant. No federal contractors bid against City Of Alexandria; the organization does not compete in the federal contract market and does not subcontract on commercial federal programs. Activity has been episodic rather than steady — two awards in 2020, one in 2021, two in 2022, three in 2024, and one in 2026 — reflecting the rhythm of federal transit formula-grant distributions and capital-project completion cycles rather than ongoing task-order growth.
