About the company
City of Ames Police Department, a U.S. local government entity and a division of the City of Ames, Iowa, operates as a federal grant recipient focused on airport infrastructure modernization and law enforcement officer wellness and equipment programs. The Police Department acts as a prime grant recipient (77% of recent awards) and as a sub-recipient on federal pass-through awards (23%), competing in full-and-open federal grant programs with no SBA certifications or set-aside designations.
The Police Department's federal grant footprint centers on two distinct capability areas. The first is airport infrastructure development at Ames Municipal Airport under the Federal Aviation Administration's Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.106) and related Bipartisan Infrastructure Law programs. Representative work includes a $2.918 million Project Grant (awarded September 12, 2024, ultimate completion September 11, 2028) for installation of 27,000 feet of perimeter fencing to bring the airport into conformity with current safety standards; a $1.2 million Project Grant (awarded August 29, 2025, completion August 28, 2029) for Phase 1 design activities for runway 01/19 reconstruction; and a $535,000 Project Grant (awarded July 6, 2026, completion July 5, 2030) for reconstruction of 900 feet of the airport entrance road. The Police Department is also a co-recipient on multiple apron pavement reconstruction grants, including a $652 thousand grant (63.77% of project cost) and a $333 thousand grant (36.23% of project cost), both for 7,500 square yards of south apron pavement, awarded June 23, 2023 with completion June 22, 2027.
The second capability area is law enforcement officer wellness and equipment support under the Bureau of Justice Assistance block grant program. Two completed or near-completion grants (October 1, 2022, completion September 30, 2024, and October 1, 2023, completion September 30, 2025) funded mental health and officer wellness training, workstation ergonomics upgrades, investigator camera equipment replacement, life-saving tourniquets, and emergency response team communication headsets.
Customer concentration reflects the Police Department's local mission. The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Central Region leads with 12 awards focused on airport infrastructure. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs Bureau of Justice Assistance accounts for 10 awards focused on law enforcement wellness and safety. The Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs places 7 additional awards, and the Department of Transportation National Highway Traffic Safety Administration places 4 awards related to traffic safety enforcement and planning. These five agencies represent 82% of recent awards. Activity has declined since 2023 — from 6 awards in 2023 to 2 awards each in 2025 and 2026 — reflecting completion of major airport infrastructure phases. As a sub-recipient, the Police Department receives pass-through federal highway safety funding from Iowa's Department of Public Safety under Section 402 highway safety grants (awarded October 1, 2024, and October 1, 2025) and transit grants under the Elderly and Persons with Disabilities program.
