City Of Mandan

City of Mandan, a municipal government entity headquartered in Mandan, North Dakota, receives federal grants as a direct recipient for public safety, water infrastructure, and emergency management programs. The city does not hold federal contracts and does not operate as a prime contractor; it functions exclusively as a grant recipient and, in limited instances, as a sub-recipient on pass-through awards from state agencies.

City of Mandan's federal grant footprint spans six distinct grantor agencies and covers public safety, emergency services, water system modernization, and community development. The most recent and largest award is a $1.602 million SAFER (Staffing for Adequate Fire and Emergency Response) grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (CFDA 97.083), effective March 19, 2026 through March 18, 2029, funding the Mandan Fire Department to hire new frontline firefighters and implement recruitment and retention initiatives for volunteer firefighters. The city also holds a $1 million Assistance to Firefighters Grant from FEMA (award date July 15, 2024, completion July 14, 2026) and a $500,000 five-year Public Safety Partnership and Community Policing Grant from the Department of Justice Community Oriented Policing Services (CFDA 16.710, awarded October 1, 2024, completing September 30, 2029) supporting community policing capacity and crime prevention in the Mandan Police Department. On the infrastructure side, City of Mandan received a $223,712 grant from the Bureau of Reclamation under the WaterSMART program (CFDA 15.507, awarded September 5, 2025, completing December 31, 2026) for purchase and installation of 615 advanced metering infrastructure meters to improve leak detection and water resource management. The city also holds brownfield assessment and cleanup planning funding from EPA Region 8 (cooperative agreement, awarded October 1, 2021, completing September 30, 2025) and a continuation grant from the Office on Violence Against Women (awarded October 1, 2022, completing March 31, 2026) supporting coordinated community responses to domestic violence and sexual assault.

Total obligated dollars across the city's federal grant footprint stand at $3.8 million across eleven awards (eight prime and three sub-awards). Activity has remained modest and sporadic over the measurement period — one award each in 2022 and 2023, three in 2024, two in 2025, and one in 2026 — with the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Justice Office on Violence Against Women accounting for the largest share of recent grants. One award faces ultimate completion inside the next twenty-four months, creating limited near-term recompete exposure. City of Mandan also appears as a sub-recipient on a boat safety program sub-award from the North Dakota Department of Game & Fish, an emergency preparedness sub-award (prime grantor not specified in source), and a summer reading grant sub-award from the North Dakota Department of Public Instruction under CFDA 84.425.
