Where experience gets results.
Two models. One standard of excellence.
Full Service Grant Management
"We handle everything."
Blended Grant Management
"We handle what you need."
Both models apply the same compliance standards, documentation rigor, and senior-level oversight. What changes is the scope of our role, not the quality of our work.
Real funding. Real impact.
Every dollar we secure represents real infrastructure, real services, and real improvements for the communities our clients serve.
A Dam on the Brink. $8.5M to Pull It Back.
Stigler Lake Dam was rated unsatisfactory, the lowest possible classification, and at high risk of failure under normal operating conditions. For a city with no backup water supply, that was not a maintenance problem. It was an emergency. B&A secured $8,516,328 through the Bureau of Reclamation's WaterSMART program to fix it.
A Dam on the Brink. $8.5M to Pull It Back.
Stigler Lake Dam, the City's sole municipal water source, had been rated "unsatisfactory" by state regulators and classified as high hazard. Documented deficiencies included uncontrolled seepage, severe downstream slope deterioration, and a structural profile that posed a genuine risk of failure under normal, everyday operating conditions. There was no backup. If the dam failed, the City lost its water supply.
B&A developed and submitted a WaterSMART Drought Resiliency grant application proposing a full structural rehabilitation: raising the dam crest, flattening the downstream slope, installing a toe drain, replacing the spillway, and constructing a seepage barrier and cutoff system. The application framed the project not just as a safety repair, but as a long-term water supply resilience investment, the framing federal reviewers needed to see.

Funding intelligence for
municipal leaders.
Grant alerts, client wins, and strategic guidance to help your municipality stay ahead of funding opportunities.
We’re excited to share that one of our municipal clients has been placed on the fundable list for a major infrastructure grant through the California State Water Resources Control Board—clearing the way for $50 million in construction funding to support advanced wastewater treatment upgrades.
Federal and state grant compliance isn’t just about securing funding—it’s about keeping it. Under 2 CFR 200.334–200.338, federal grant recipients must retain records for at least 3 years after the final expenditure report. But that’s just the baseline.
When municipalities hear about a new grant opportunity, the focus is often on the potential award amount. But too often, the hidden costs of managing a grant are overlooked, and that can stretch staff, budgets, and resources thin.
As communities look ahead to the next round of Community Development Block Grant funding, early preparation will be critical. Administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Community Development Block Grant program supports local priorities such as infrastructure improvements, affordable housing, economic development, and public facilities.
Today we celebrate Presidents’ Day and reflect on the leadership, service, and vision that have shaped our nation. This holiday is a reminder of the importance of strong governance, civic responsibility, and the enduring impact of public investment in communities across the country.
