Assignment marks sixth consecutive City of Philadelphia ADA design award

Bowman has been awarded a $3.7 million contract to design ADA-compliant curb ramps at 1,200 corners across the City of Philadelphia. This award marks Bowman’s sixth consecutive ADA design assignment in the city and its largest ADA design contract to date in Pennsylvania.

Under the award, Bowman will deliver full-scope design services including alternative design solutions for ADA-compliant curb ramps, property owner coordination and final design certification in accordance with PennDOT and City of Philadelphia standards.

“Our long-term relationship with the City of Philadelphia reflects a repeatable, partnership-driven culture that defines Bowman’s municipal infrastructure design practice,” said Gary Bowman, founder and CEO of Bowman. “The fact that this is our sixth consecutive award for this work demonstrates how our commitment to a client-first focus translates into reoccurring revenue streams. This award strengthens our near-term backlog and underscores our ability to deliver sustained organic growth. I am proud to once again to be recognized for our proven track record and design expertise remaining integral to supporting the city’s long-term ADA compliance goals.” 

With this latest award, the company’s total ramp design scope in the city surpasses 3,000 curb locations, representing more than one-third of Philadelphia’s 10,000-ramp goal. Bowman continues to build on a long-term pipeline of accessibility-focused infrastructure projects in support of the city’s commitment to install ADA-compliant ramps citywide by 2038.
