Bowman Consulting Group Ltd. (the Company or Bowman) (NASDAQ: BWMN), a national engineering services firm delivering infrastructure solutions and program management services to customers who own, develop and maintain the built environment, has been awarded a landmark two-year contract to provide high-resolution aerial orthoimagery for the State of Oklahoma (“State”). This initiative marks the first statewide leaf-off aerial mapping project undertaken in nearly 30 years and will deliver critical geospatial data for use by state agencies, municipalities and the public.

Bowman will utilize advanced high-altitude imaging capabilities, acquired in connection with the purchase of Surdex, to capture four-band, 6-inch resolution digital orthoimagery across approximately 70,000 square miles of Oklahoma during leaf-off seasons when tree cover is minimal. This coordinated timing, combined with real-time ground condition reports from local stakeholders, ensures clear visibility of critical features like creek beds, infrastructure and housing, enhancing the data's accuracy and versatility for various applications. The project will span the entire state, including a one-mile buffer beyond its borders, delivering comprehensive coverage to support both state-level operations and cross-boundary planning efforts.

“This contract marks Bowman’s first orthoimagery project with the State of Oklahoma, a state where we have existing public and private terrestrial engineering assignments,” said Gary Bowman, chairman and CEO of Bowman. "Awards like this validate our strategic growth initiative of generating short- and long-term revenue synergy and organic growth from companies we acquire and integrate. We are honored to have been selected by the State to apply our geospatial and technical engineering expertise to a project of this scale and importance."

The data Bowman collects will support a wide range of applications, including infrastructure planning, environmental conservation and emergency response. Agencies such as the Oklahoma Department of Transportation, Emergency 911 services, the Conservation Commission and the Office of Geographic Information are expected to benefit from this updated geospatial dataset. All imagery will be made publicly accessible, ensuring transparency and usability for stakeholders across the state.
