$1.5 million contract builds on ten-year relationship with Del Norte
Bowman has been selected as the lead engineer for a $24 million municipal water system upgrade in the Town of Del Norte, Colorado—the town’s largest water infrastructure project to date. Under a $1.5 million contract, Bowman will deliver full design, construction administration and inspection services.
The win builds on a decade-long relationship between Bowman and Del Norte. Over that time, Bowman has supported nearly a dozen local initiatives, including roadway improvements, a downtown beautification initiative and is in early planning stages for a new wastewater system.
“Our continued work with the Town of Del Norte illustrates the strength of our client relationships and the recurring opportunities that come from delivering consistent results,” said Gary Bowman, founder and CEO of Bowman. “Projects like this align with our long-term strategy to expand our presence in essential public infrastructure, expand client wallet share and generate durable, high-value backlog.”
The project will replace a municipal water system that is more than 60 years old and has faced persistent issues with line breaks and rising maintenance costs. Bowman’s scope includes the replacement of approximately 57,000 linear feet of pipeline, 790 service lines, 50 fire hydrants and multiple isolation and pressure-reducing valves.
Nationwide, aging water infrastructure represents a growing market opportunity for Bowman. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) projects that more than $625 billion in investment will be needed over the next 20 years to maintain and improve water infrastructure.
“Water infrastructure upgrades are a critical need nationwide, and our experience in this sector positions us to capture a growing share of that market. As we expand into the larger-scale public infrastructure market, projects like Del Norte reflect our ability to deliver practical solutions that benefit communities and contribute to steady business growth,” said Bowman.
