City Of Long Beach

City Of Long Beach, a U.S. local government entity based in Long Beach, New York, receives federal grant funding as a prime recipient across transit, public safety, water infrastructure, and emergency management programs, with 19% of recent awards as prime grants and 81% as sub-recipient awards under pass-through entities.

The City operates as a grant recipient rather than a contract vendor. Its prime grant portfolio centers on transit system modernization and operating assistance funded by the Federal Transit Administration under the Section 5307 Urbanized Area Formula program (CFDA 20.507), water infrastructure rehabilitation and replacement through the Environmental Protection Agency, public safety hiring through the Department of Justice Bureau of Justice Assistance Rural Violent Crime Initiative (CFDA 16.039), and roadway safety planning through the Federal Highway Administration Safe Streets and Roads for All program. Representative prime awards include a $3.8 million FTA Section 5307 formula grant (Aug 26, 2025, completion Dec 1, 2028) for operating assistance and the replacement of four transit vehicles plus consulting services for a new bus facility design; a $1.25 million EPA Congressionally Mandated Projects award (Mar 1, 2024, completion Dec 31, 2026) for rehabilitation of a drinking water sand gravel filtration system; a $300,000 DOJ project grant (Oct 1, 2024, completion Sep 30, 2027) to hire a narcotics detective; and a $239,824 FHWA Safe Streets and Roads for All grant (Nov 6, 2024, completion Nov 5, 2026) for roadway safety action planning. Earlier FTA awards provided $884,234 in Section 5307 CARES Act Rapid Response (CRRSAA) funding (Aug 29, 2022) and $1.331 million in American Rescue Plan Act operating assistance (Aug 25, 2022) to support pandemic-era transit operations. A recent FTA formula grant (Aug 11, 2026, completion Feb 1, 2030) will fund replacement of three fixed-route buses and offset operating expenses.

Federal Emergency Management Agency represents 71% of award count (66 awards) but carries minimal potential value; the source reports $504.6 million in combined dollars obligated across 118 awards against only $519,000 in combined potential value, indicating most awards are closed or substantially funded. The City's sub-recipient activity is concentrated under FEMA pass-through awards administered by the New York State Division of Homeland Security & Emergency Services, covering emergency protective measures, hazard mitigation grant projects, and force account labor. Recent sub-awards include tree planting in the EPA-designated Environmental Justice zone under an American Forests prime grant (Oct 21, 2024), emergency protective measures (Aug 1, 2024), and multiple force main design and plant conversion sub-awards (Oct 4, 2023). The vendor has worked with 11 distinct customer agencies across FEMA, FTA, EPA Region 2, DOJ, FHWA, and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service. Award activity averaged 4–7 awards per year from 2022 through 2024, declining to 1 award in 2025 and 3 in 2026; one award reaches completion within the next twenty-four months. The City receives no federal contracts as a prime and does not hold seats on government-wide acquisition vehicles; its footprint is limited to grant and sub-grant funding for local infrastructure and public services.
