Statement of Work: Forward Mast Hydraulic Power Unit & Winch, Outhaul Winch – Rev 1

1. Purpose and Scope

Henry Bigelow requires the procurement of a 10 HP Hydraulic Power Unit (HPU) and a M12 Drum Winch to replace one of the ship’s outhaul winches mounted on the aft A-frame. The HPU will be used as part of a standalone system to raise and lower the forward mast to allow for maintenance of equipment (lights, sensors) mounted at the top.

Additionally the hydraulic system is requested as a robust solution to allow for raising and lowering the mast at sea to eliminate visual blind spots during marine mammal and bird surveys.

2. Requirements
