Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. has been awarded a $3.7 million contract to design ADA‑compliant curb ramps at 1,200 corners throughout the City of Philadelphia. The project will deliver full‑scope design services, including alternative design solutions, property owner coordination, and final design certification in accordance with PennDOT and City of Philadelphia standards.
This award marks Bowman’s sixth consecutive ADA design assignment in Philadelphia and its largest ADA contract to date in Pennsylvania. The new scope pushes the company’s total ramp‑design work in the city beyond 3,000 curb locations, covering more than one‑third of Philadelphia’s 10,000‑ramp goal. The contract adds to Bowman’s near‑term backlog and supports the firm’s strategy of organic growth in the accessibility‑focused infrastructure segment.
Philadelphia’s legal settlement requires the city to install 10,000 ADA‑compliant curb ramps by May 1, 2038, with milestones of 2,000 ramps every three years. The long‑term regulatory framework creates a steady pipeline of projects for firms like Bowman, and the current contract positions the company to capture additional work as the city progresses toward its 2038 target.
Bowman’s financial performance underscores the significance of the award. The firm reported 16.73% revenue growth over the last twelve months and a 30% compound annual growth rate over the past five years, supported by a gross profit margin of 52.89% and a net margin of 3.54%. Recent acquisitions, including Lazen Power Engineering and Sierra Overhead Analytics, have expanded Bowman’s service portfolio and geographic reach, reinforcing its competitive advantage in municipal infrastructure design.
"Our long‑term relationship with the City of Philadelphia reflects a repeatable, partnership‑driven culture that defines Bowman's municipal infrastructure design practice," said CEO Gary Bowman. "The fact that this is our sixth consecutive award for this work demonstrates how our commitment to a client‑first focus translates into recurring revenue streams. This award strengthens our near‑term backlog and underscores our ability to deliver sustained organic growth."
