Contract value

$150,000

No dollar amount is disclosed. Refurbishing two large hydraulic lift cylinders typically involves labor, machining, welding, coating, seals, testing equipment, and overhead. Assuming a mid‑range industrial repair rate of $150–$250 per hour, plus parts and materials estimated at $30,000–$40,000, a plausible total falls between $120,000 and $180,000. Given the short turnaround (≈12 days) and the urgency, the government may allocate a slightly higher budget to ensure rapid completion. Therefore, a reasonable ball‑park estimate is roughly $150,000.
