Atlantic City Of

Atlantic City Of, doing business as City Clerk, is a U.S. local government entity based in Atlantic, Iowa that receives federal grants as prime recipient for airport infrastructure, community facilities, and municipal utility improvements. The vendor operates as the parent entity of the City of Atlantic municipal government and its municipal utilities subsidiary, holding a 86% share of awards as prime grant recipient and 14% as sub-recipient across federal grant programs.

The City of Atlantic's federal footprint centers on airport infrastructure development. The top five customer agencies account for 95% of recent awards, dominated by the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Central Region (11 awards), the Department of Transportation FAA (5 awards), the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service Community Facilities (2 awards), the Department of Energy (2 awards), and the Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service (1 award). The vendor has received three FAA grants totaling $1.2 million for a new 14,500-square-foot sponsor-owned hangar facility at Atlantic Municipal Airport: a $563,344 project grant under the FAA Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) awarded June 24, 2026, a $551,848 project grant under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) awarded June 23, 2026, and a $113,684 project grant for Phase 1 design services under the Airport Improvement Program, Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act Programs, and COVID-19 Airports Programs (CFDA 20.106) awarded June 13, 2025. The vendor also received two FAA formula and project grants totaling approximately $1.1 million for runway lighting reconstruction at Atlantic Municipal Airport, awarded in June 2023, both with completion dates in June 2027. In addition, the City received American Rescue Plan Act pandemic relief funding ($500 thousand range, awarded July 2021) for airport operations and personnel costs, and a Community Facilities grant (awarded July 2021) for economic impact initiatives. As sub-recipient, the City received funding through the Economic Development Authority Iowa for public electric vehicle charging stations (October 2025), Atlantic street lighting infrastructure (June 2024), and water system improvements (July 2024).

Award activity has remained low and flat over the past five years — averaging two awards annually from 2024 through 2026 — with only two awards reaching ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months. All prime grant work flows through the Federal Aviation Administration's airport infrastructure programs and USDA Rural Housing and Rural Utilities programs, with sub-award participation limited to municipal infrastructure projects administered through state economic development authorities. The vendor does not hold federal contracts or IDIQs; its federal footprint consists entirely of grant funding for capital improvements and operational support to Atlantic Municipal Airport and local municipal infrastructure.
