City Of Boulder City

City Of Boulder City, doing business as Electric Department, is a U.S. local government entity operating as a municipal utility provider for the federal government, serving primarily as a prime recipient of federal grants (89% of recent awards) with a secondary footprint in utility services contracts for the Department of the Interior.

The Electric Department is a subordinate division of the City of Boulder City, Nevada (located at 401 California Ave, Boulder City, Nevada). As a municipal government entity, it operates without SBA set-aside designations and competes on full-and-open vehicles. The vendor's federal work concentrates in two capability areas grounded in its municipal infrastructure role: electric utility delivery and water utility infrastructure management under long-term fixed-price contracts with the Bureau of Reclamation, and grant-funded airport and municipal infrastructure improvements administered through the Federal Aviation Administration, Environmental Protection Agency, and Federal Emergency Management Agency.

The Electric Department's customer base is tightly concentrated. The Department of the Interior's Bureau of Reclamation anchors 26 awards (100% of combined potential value on the contract side), accounting for $8.4 million in potential value across electric and water utility services contracts running through September 2032. Two concrete examples: a definitive contract modification awarded September 22, 2022, for electric utility services with a ceiling of $3.0 million and ultimate completion date of September 21, 2032, and a companion water utility services contract awarded September 20, 2022, with a $517 thousand ceiling and identical completion date. A third purchase order awarded January 23, 2023, for electric utility services through the Bureau of Reclamation carried a ceiling of $21,869.06. Beyond the Bureau of Reclamation contracts, the vendor operates as a federal grant recipient: the Department of Transportation's Federal Aviation Administration (23 awards across two organizational listings) has funded airport infrastructure work at Boulder City Airport, including runway, taxiway, and lighting improvements, as well as phase-one design services for a federal contract tower (a $1.5 million project grant awarded May 15, 2025). The Environmental Protection Agency has awarded a $1.0 million cooperative agreement (February 19, 2024) for wastewater system infrastructure rehabilitation, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency and Bureau of Justice Assistance have funded public safety and emergency management projects including police vehicle replacement.

Grant activity has been episodic rather than linear. Awards peaked in 2023 at seven grants, declined to three in 2024, then recovered to four in 2025; a single award appears in the first months of 2026. Four awards face ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, representing recompete opportunity. The Electric Department places task orders under two blanket purchase agreements with the Bureau of Reclamation: BPA INR11PA30048 carries five task orders and $1.2 million in combined potential value, and BPA INR11PA30026 carries five task orders and $231 thousand. The vendor's award portfolio reflects obligated dollars of $46.7 million against a combined potential value of $8.4 million, indicating substantial draw-down on long-term contracts, particularly the multi-year Bureau of Reclamation utility services agreements.

The Electric Department also operates as a sub-recipient on federal grants, receiving pass-through funding from Nevada state agencies: sub-awards from the Nevada Office of Emergency Management (public safety overtime funding) and allocation of community development and senior services grants distributed through the State.
