City Of Whittier

City Of Whittier, a U.S. municipal government in Alaska, receives federal grants as a prime recipient and holds a single federal purchase order for moorage services, operating across environmental remediation, water infrastructure, transportation safety, and coastal facility management rather than as a commercial contractor competing for work.

Whittier is a local government entity headquartered in Whittier, Alaska (660 Whittier Street, Whittier, AK 99693), situated at the head of Passage Canal on Alaska's coast. The municipality qualifies as a local government recipient under federal grant programs and holds prime grants rather than competing for contract vehicles or IDIQs. Recent prime grant work centers on three major categories: a Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program action plan from the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (award date March 26, 2024, completion December 31, 2026); a brownfields remediation and assessment cooperative agreement from EPA Region 10 (award date October 1, 2023, completion September 30, 2028) authorizing planning, inventory, characterization, Phase I and Phase II environmental site assessments, cleanup planning, and community involvement across designated sites in Whittier; and a water infrastructure grant from EPA Region 10 (award date June 1, 2023, completion December 31, 2026) for well field upgrades including construction of a new well building, pumps, water main piping, controls, and demolition of three existing wells to replace aging infrastructure. Whittier also holds a $5,405.94 firm fixed-price purchase order from the U.S. Forest Service Region 10–Alaska Region (award date January 1, 2026, completion December 31, 2026) for boat moorage services, reflecting its role in managing marine facilities and recreational infrastructure for federal land management.

The City's customer base concentrates with the Department of Agriculture Forest Service Region 10–Alaska Region (11 awards, $43 thousand combined potential value), the Environmental Protection Agency Region 10 (7 awards), the Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (4 awards), and the Department of Agriculture Forest Service (3 awards), accounting for 68% of recent awards. The top four customers by award count and potential value align closely; both rankings are anchored by the Forest Service regional office. Primary operational categories align with the municipality's infrastructure role: Port and Harbor Operations dominates the NAICS distribution (16 awards), with supporting work in Marinas and miscellaneous commercial licensing. Within the subgrant portfolio, Whittier receives federal pass-through funding from the Environmental Conservation Alaska Department (multiple awards for water system design and construction, lift station replacement, and portable generator procurement) and the Alaska Energy Authority (energy audit and streetlight retrofit work on the Whittier Harbor sea walk). Four awards carrying a combined potential value of $5 thousand reach ultimate completion within the next twenty-four months, presenting recompete points for those specific grants.
