City Of Ormond Beach

City of Ormond Beach, a Florida municipal government entity, acts as a prime recipient of federal grants and as a sub-recipient flowing funds from state intermediaries, primarily for airport infrastructure improvements, public safety equipment, and emergency disaster recovery. The city does not hold federal contracts and operates exclusively in the grant funding space, with a 59% prime-recipient footprint and 41% sub-recipient exposure.

The city's grant portfolio centers on three distinct capability areas. The Federal Aviation Administration Southern Region has awarded $132,115.79 under the Airport Improvement Program (CFDA 20.116) on June 15, 2026, to rehabilitate runway 09/27 pavement markings at Ormond Beach Airport through June 14, 2030; $166,666.67 under CFDA 20.106 on September 9, 2024, to design reconstruction of 19,500 square yards of general aviation apron pavement and 700 feet of southwest taxilane pavement through September 8, 2028; and an earlier obstruction survey grant to identify runway approach obstructions awarded August 2, 2023, with completion through August 1, 2027. A September 10, 2022, FAA grant funds installation of a Type III automated weather observing system for enhanced aircraft operations safety and efficiency. In public safety, the Bureau of Justice Assistance awarded block grants on October 1, 2023, to procure license plate readers and remote video surveillance systems for crime detection and apprehension through September 30, 2025, and on October 1, 2022, to purchase temporary traffic barricades for emergency roadway management through September 30, 2024. FEMA awarded an Assistance to Firefighters grant on July 18, 2024, with completion through July 17, 2026.

Customer concentration is heavily weighted toward FEMA and FAA. The Federal Emergency Management Agency accounts for 26 awards, while the Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration accounts for 12 awards through its Southern Region and 10 awards through FAA proper, together representing more than half of the city's prime award volume. The Department of Justice, through its Bureau of Justice Assistance, supplied 9 awards, with an additional 6 awards from DOJ's broader Office of Justice Programs structure. This five-customer cluster covers 76% of recent award count, though the source does not disclose combined dollar values by customer.

Sub-recipient exposure flows primarily through state intermediaries. The State of Florida Division of Emergency Management is the prime grantee on the majority of sub-awards, flowing federal disaster recovery and hazard mitigation funds to the city. These include multiple emergency protective measures, debris removal, building and facility repairs, and parks reconstruction following hurricanes and other declared disasters awarded from 2022 through August 27, 2026. The Department of Legal Affairs Florida has awarded victim services funding as prime grantee on at least two sub-awards. One significant sub-award under the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program (prime grantee State of Florida Division of Emergency Management, awarded April 20, 2022) funds permanent diesel bypass pumps at four lift stations to maintain wastewater operations during power outages, with design specifications to survive 500-year flood events and wind-rated enclosures.

Total awards across both prime and sub channels reached 83 since 2005, with combined dollars obligated at $34 million. Recent activity has grown — from 5 awards in 2022 to 14 in 2025 — though 2026 shows only 4 awards recorded to date. Only 1 award faces ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, leaving minimal recompete cliff exposure in the near term. The city has served 11 distinct federal customer agencies across the portfolio.
