City Of West Wendover

City Of West Wendover, a U.S. local government entity headquartered in West Wendover, Nevada, functions as a federal grant recipient focused on rural community infrastructure, drinking water systems, public health, and public safety projects. The city operates exclusively as a prime recipient on federal grants; it does not hold federal contracts, contract vehicles, or IDVs. West Wendover receives supplementary grant funding as a sub-recipient through the Nevada Department of Public Safety's Joining Forces program.

West Wendover's recent award activity centers on congressionally directed spending and formula grant programs serving rural communities. The city received $209,000 in full federal funding from the Environmental Protection Agency Region 9 under the Congressionally Mandated Projects program (CFDA 66.202) to rehabilitate the 3 Mile Reservoir, a 1.5 million-gallon potable water storage facility; the Cooperative Agreement runs through February 2027 and funds design, engineering, construction, project management, and quarterly progress reporting. An August 2022 grant from an unnamed federal agency allocated funding for medical equipment and facility improvements at the West Wendover Clinic, specifically for the purchase and installation of a new digital x-ray machine, hardware and software upgrades, and facility modifications; that award runs through July 2025. The city also received $200,000 from the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service under the Community Facilities Loans and Grants program (CFDA 10.766) awarded September 2022 for construction or improvement of community facilities serving rural residents. A March 2022 Community Oriented Policing Services Technology and Equipment Program (TEP) invitation-only grant supported law enforcement technology and interoperable communications projects; the award runs through June 2025.

Customer concentration is diffuse across eleven distinct federal agencies. The Department of Transportation's National Highway Traffic Safety Administration accounts for four awards, the Department of Agriculture Rural Housing Service holds four awards across its main office and Community Facilities divisions, and the Department of Justice's Community Oriented Policing Program holds two awards. West Wendover's sub-recipient footprint includes repeated awards under Nevada Department of Public Safety's Joining Forces program (awarded October 2022, October 2023, and November 2024), which funds mass casualty and emergency preparedness planning aligned with county and state coordination. Combined obligated dollars across all eighteen awards total $5.7 million. Recent activity shows one award in 2024 and one in 2025, with one award (combined potential value undisclosed) reaching ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months.
