Bowman Consulting Secures Major Engineering Contract in Nebraska

Bowman Consulting Group Ltd., a prominent engineering services firm based in Reston, Virginia, has secured a significant two-year contract valued at up to $1.5 million with the Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT). This contract is designated for on-call preliminary engineering services for State Recreation Roads and Local Public Agencies (LPA) federal-aid projects. It represents a continued partnership between NDOT and Bowman, marking the eighth preliminary engineering award received by the firm. This ongoing collaboration underscores NDOT's confidence in Bowman's expertise and its capability to enhance Nebraska’s transportation infrastructure.

The scope of this new contract includes a wide array of engineering services, such as roadway and bridge design, land surveys, stormwater management, and right-of-way planning. It also emphasizes environmental compliance and public involvement initiatives, further addressing the needs of local communities. Anticipated projects under this contract will likely involve bridge replacements, safety enhancements, and transportation alternatives, all aimed at improving the state's infrastructure and public safety. Additionally, the contract encompasses crucial elements like erosion control, ADA design compliance, utility coordination, and traffic control design, reinforcing Bowman's commitment to advancing transportation networks in Nebraska.

Gary Bowman, the company's chairman and CEO, highlights the importance of this partnership in contributing to the firm’s organic revenue growth, particularly following their acquisition of Speece Lewis in early 2024. This acquisition has notably bolstered their transportation engineering capacity, enabling Bowman to expand its service offerings and operational efficiency. With a workforce of over 2,300 employees distributed across 95 locations nationwide, Bowman Consulting is well-positioned to tackle diverse engineering challenges while fostering long-term growth through strategic mergers and acquisitions.
