City Of Seattle City Light

City Of Seattle City Light, doing business as City Light Department, is a U.S. local government entity registered to receive federal contract and grant awards since November 7, 2001. As Seattle's public power utility, City Light primarily provides electricity and related utility services to federal facilities in the Seattle area. The organization has a diverse portfolio of federal awards, including prime contract awards, prime grant awards, and sub-grant awards, demonstrating its involvement in various federal projects and programs. City Light's mission is to provide customers with affordable, reliable, and environmentally responsible energy services, which aligns with its federal contracting and grant activities.

Through federal contract awards, City Light has consistently provided electricity utility services to multiple federal agencies. A notable example is a $251,000 firm fixed price purchase order from the Department of the Army Corps of Engineers Engineering District Seattle for electricity services at LWSC, with performance set to continue until November 30, 2027. The utility has also secured contracts with the Department of Veterans Affairs Veterans Health Administration, including a $2,430,350.87 purchase order to supply electricity to the Seattle VA Medical Center for a 12-month period ending September 30, 2020, and a separate $37,723.14 purchase order for the Fort Lawton VA Facility. These contracts highlight City Light's crucial role in supporting critical federal infrastructure and facilities in the Seattle region. It's worth noting that no set-aside designations were used for these contract awards, indicating the company's ability to compete in open bidding processes.

City Light's involvement in federal grant programs is equally diverse and impactful. The organization received a Cooperative Agreement from the National Resources Conservation Service for damage survey and recovery efforts related to the 2023 Washington Wildfires in Whatcom County. Another significant grant is a $642,973.93 Cooperative Agreement from the National Park Service under the Natural Resource Stewardship program, focusing on protecting lives, property, and natural resources in the historic Diablo Townsite following the 2023 Sourdough Fire. As a sub-grantee, City Light has been involved in various environmental and recreational projects, including Chinook habitat protection in the Skagit River system in collaboration with the Skagit Land Trust, park enhancements at South Park Community Center and Kubota Garden, and expansion of the Green Lake Small Craft Center. These sub-grants were primarily administered through the Recreation & Conservation Office, demonstrating City Light's collaborative approach to community development and environmental conservation. The utility's participation in these diverse grant programs underscores its commitment to environmental stewardship and community enhancement beyond its core electricity services.
