About this file
This is a Questions and Answers document dated 09/14/2026 for a Spud Barge Hydraulic Lines contract. The document addresses seven key inquiries regarding the scope of work and technical requirements for replacing hydraulic lines on a spud barge.
The contract scope involves approximately 72 feet of hard line length and 80 feet of bangboard length, with work limited to currently operational "working Live" hydraulic lines only. Abandoned lines do not require removal. The bulkhead fittings are mechanical compression fittings that are corroded and require replacement. The entire hydraulic system must maintain a 3000 psi pressure rating and be tested using industry standards; manufacturer testing is required for flex lines. Readily available sockets meeting requirements will fit within existing bangboard openings, and pipe diameter measurements provided in the Performance Work Statement are outside diameter measurements of existing seamed rigid lines. The project is scheduled for award prior to 30 September 2026, and any extension to the bid due date risks the project not being awarded, indicating a compressed timeline for contractor response and proposal submission.

Spud Barge Hydraulic Lines Questions and Answers 1
09/14/2026
1) Q: What is the total length of the hard lines?
A: Approximately 72 feet hard line length, 80 feet bangboard length field measured.
2) Q: Is the contractor to remove the old, abandoned lines that were left in place?
A: No, this contract only pertains to the “working Live” hydraulic lines currently in service.
3) Q: Are the bulkhead fittings a welded fitting or are they a mechanical compression fitting?
A: They are a mechanical fitting but are corroded and will need to be replaced.
4) Q: Are there pressure testing requirements for the hard lines and the flex lines? Is the 3000 psi an actual real pressure requirement?
A: The flex hydraulic lines are tested at the manufacturer. The existing system is rated at
3000 psi. The entire system will need to carry the same pressure rating and will need to be tested using industry standards.
5) Q: There was uncertainty that schedule 160 seamless steel pipe sockets would fit in the existing opening in the bangboard openings. This would possibly require more work that is not included in the contract currently.
A: There are readily available sockets that meet the requirements that will fit in the existing openings.
6) Q: Were the rigid pipe diameters provided in the PWS inside diameter measurements or outside diameter measurements?
A: The measurements provided were outside diameter measurements of the existing seamed rigid lines.
7) Q: Are there any plans to extend the bid due date?
A: This project is slated to be awarded prior to 30 September 2026 and an extension to the due date will place this project at risk of not being awarded.
