Municipal Infrastructure Analyst

Bowman won a $3.7 million design contract for 1,200 ADA curb ramps in Philadelphia, expanding recurring municipal backlog.

Bowman will supply full‑scope design services, alternative solutions, property owner coordination and final certification under PennDOT and City of Philadelphia standards, for a contract valued at $3.7 million announced on Dec. 02, 2025. This award is the firm’s sixth consecutive ADA design win in Philadelphia and raises its total ramp design coverage in the city to over 3,000 locations, amounting to more than one‑third of the city’s 10,000‑ramp target.

Dependencies and risks include continued municipal funding and adherence to PennDOT/City standards during detailed design, plus property owner coordination that could affect schedule or scope. The announcement ties directly to near‑term backlog and recurring revenue; however the content does not disclose margins, schedule milestones, or payment timing, which limit visibility on cash flow impact.

Concrete items to watch: publication of a design schedule or phased deliverables, any contract amendments that change scope or value, and progress updates toward the city’s 2038 target for citywide ramp installation; these items will clarify revenue recognition timing and backlog conversion over the next 12–36 months.
