City Of Alva

City of Alva, an Oklahoma municipal government and airport authority, is a federal grant recipient focused on airport infrastructure development and capital improvement, with 95% of its recent federal awards as the prime recipient rather than a subrecipient. The city operates Alva Airport and receives funding exclusively from the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Southwestern Region under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117), supplemented by American Rescue Plan Act economic-relief grants. City of Alva does not hold federal contracts; all federal funding arrives as project grants for airport operations, maintenance, and infrastructure expansion.

Alva's recent grant portfolio centers on two parallel multimodal airport expansion projects. The more mature effort—a $111,000 design grant awarded in August 2025 under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act's expanded eligibility—funds the design phase for two new aircraft storage hangars (100,000 square feet and 36,000 square feet) planned for completion by August 2029. This design phase has moved into construction; two companion awards issued August 20, 2026, totaling $839,336 in combined obligated value, fund Phase 2 construction of smaller hangars (10,000 square feet and 3,600 square feet) under both the Airport Infrastructure Grants and Airport Improvement Program authorities, with ultimate completion set for August 2030. A secondary effort rehabilitates runway and taxiway infrastructure: a $156,600 design grant from August 2023 funds runway lighting replacement and installation of a runway vertical/visual guidance system, paired with a construction grant covering runway 18/36 lighting rehabilitation, both running through August 2027. A third active project addresses taxiway B rehabilitation and lighting, awarded in September 2024 with completion scheduled for September 2028. Earlier work included American Rescue Plan Act pandemic relief ($156,600 obligated) for airport operations and personnel costs, awarded in January 2022 and completing January 2026.

Over the past five years, Alva has received two awards per year on average (2022–2026), with 21 total awards obligated at $13.7 million combined value. Two awards reach completion inside the next twenty-four months and therefore face recompete or renewal decisions. The city holds no sitting contracts on federal vehicles and serves no other federal customer agencies beyond the FAA Southwestern Region, with one sub-award (a network system upgrade from November 2024) representing its only subrecipient role.
