City Of Jenkins

City Of Jenkins, doing business as Clerk's Office, is a U.S. local government entity based in Jenkins, Kentucky that receives federal grant funding and contracts for water infrastructure, wastewater treatment, disaster recovery, and community infrastructure projects as a prime recipient and sub-recipient. The entity operates almost entirely in the grant space rather than competitive contracting; it has no federal contract vehicle seats and does not compete for federal contracts on an open market.

The vendor's award footprint is dominated by disaster-recovery and rural infrastructure grants. Federal Emergency Management Agency Headquarters Financial Assistance Awards account for 16 of the 30 awards in the sample (covering 83% of awards by count), with an additional 2 FEMA awards bringing FEMA's total to 18 awards. The Department of Agriculture Rural Utilities Service placed 5 awards, the Appalachian Regional Commission 4 awards, and the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service 3 awards. By potential value, FEMA carries $8 thousand in stated ceiling value on a single $8,450.18 purchase order for utility services at Gateway Industrial Park in support of disaster declaration DR4663-KY (awarded April 19, 2023, completed June 21, 2024). However, the portfolio shows $23.6 million in combined obligated dollars across all awards — a signal that most of this entity's work carries grant awards with much larger realized value than the stated potential-value figures capture. Recent prime grant work includes a $5.215 million Project Grant under the Water and Waste Disposal Systems for Rural Communities program (CFDA 10.760) from the Rural Utilities Service (awarded May 6, 2025, completion May 6, 2027) for FY 2022 disaster grant water infrastructure improvements, and a Community Infrastructure grant from the Appalachian Regional Commission (awarded January 2, 2023, completed January 2, 2024).

The entity functions predominantly as a sub-recipient of federal grant awards (19 of 36 awards, or 53%) flowing through the Kentucky Department of Military Affairs, the Energy and Environment Cabinet, and other pass-through grantees. Sub-award work includes water control facilities, roads and bridges, parks and recreational facilities, dam restoration, wastewater treatment plant rehabilitation, stormwater system design and construction, and downtown redevelopment resiliency planning. The Kentucky Department of Military Affairs is the recurring prime grantee, with sub-awards to City of Jenkins for debris removal, protective measures, roads and bridges, public buildings, generators, and other disaster-recovery line items dating from 2023 through July 2026. Activity has accelerated in the past two years — 1 award in 2021 to 10 in 2025 — with only 2 awards reaching ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, indicating limited near-term recompete exposure.
