Bowman consulting wins $7 million contract for Seattle habitat project

RESTON, Va. - Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:BWMN) has secured a $7 million multi-year contract from Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) to design a habitat restoration and infrastructure project in West Seattle's Fauntleroy Creek watershed, according to a press release issued Monday. The engineering firm, currently valued at approximately $582 million, appears undervalued according to InvestingPro Fair Value estimates, with analysts setting price targets up to $55.

The engineering services firm will lead the replacement of a 376-foot-long culvert beneath California Avenue SW that currently restricts fish migration and creates flooding risks. The project aims to improve salmon passage, enhance flood mitigation, and strengthen climate resilience in the urban corridor.

This marks Bowman's first engagement as primary design lead for SPU, representing a significant milestone for the company in the Pacific Northwest region. The firm had previously supported SPU and the Seattle Department of Transportation in other capacities following its acquisition of Exeltech.
