- Description
- The Federal Air Marshal Service has a requirement for a fixed price construction contract for the upgrade to various features of the two outdoor ranges, including the installation of a bullet trap previously purchased under a separate contract along with a target system on the 25 Yard Linear Range known commonly as “A Range”. The place of performance will be the William J. Hughes Technical Center in Atlantic City, NJ. The scope also includes the replacement of the existing pneumatic “popper” style targets on the reactive steel range, commonly known as “B Range”. The equipment will be installed at facilities that will allow firing at a range of 1 to 50 yards from the targets. Construction will consist of four (4) tasks. Task 1 – Planning - The contractor will inventory all pieces, components, hardware, systems, and subsystems of the Total Containment Bullet Trap (TCT II) System by Action Target, hereafter “bullet trap”, that is stored at the project location to ensure that all pieces are present to fully install the bullet trap in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. If the contractor should find that a component is missing or defective, that was previously witnessed to be at the project site, the contractor will inform the Contracting Officer by close of business on the same business day the inspection is performed. The Contractor shall develop and submit any drawings, plans, cut sheets, specifications, narratives or other documents that clearly indicate the work that is planned before said work commences. The Contractor shall develop a drainage plan and incorporate the existing drainage areas as well as new drainage pipes, systems, assemblies and as required to maintain no areas of standing water on the surface danger zone or other area personnel would routinely have access to on any range. Task 2- Linear Range Upgrade, A Range - The contractor will perform any and all site work necessary to complete the range. This site work may include, but is not limited to, additional concrete flatwork and blockwork beyond that specifically mentioned herein as required, trenching, conduit installation, minor electrical work, premise wiring, installation of air lines, installation of a compressor and any necessary components (filter, dryer, etc), leveling and grading, moving of stone and gravel, grading, excavation, drainage, conduit, high-voltage, low-voltage, pneumatics, and lighting. The Contractor will design, build and install a reinforced concrete pad the width of the entire A Range, extending perpendicular from the existing sidewalls of the Range. The location of this concrete pad must be closely coordinated with the location of the bullet trap, so as to provide a distance of exactly 25-yards from the 25-yard firing line to the target line. This concrete pad will support the installation of the bullet trap and must be constructed and finished in accordance with the bullet trap manufacturer’s specifications. This concrete pad will be referred to as the bullet trap pad. The surface of the concrete pad shall be finished and pitched for drainage in accordance with the manufacturer’s specifications. The Contractor will design, build and install a reinforced concrete retaining wall that runs the entire width of the A Range, extending perpendicular from the general location of the existing sidewalls of the A Range. The location of this concrete retaining wall must be closely coordinated with the location of the bullet trap, so as to provide a distance of exactly 25-yards from the 25-yard firing line to the target line, and still allow a 4ft mechanics clearance behind the furthest point of the bullet trap. No part of the concrete retaining wall shall be higher than the highest point of the bullet trap, and no part of the retaining wall shall be visible over the bullet trap to the shooter from the 25-yard line. The concrete retaining wall will tie into the two new freestanding sidewalls of the A Range mentioned in the next section. The design of the reinforced concrete wall can be either monolithic poured or CMU design, but shall utilize steel reinforcement and be suitable to the task. The Contractor shall incorporate all best practices in the design and construction of the retaining wall, including but not limited to, drainage, structural ability, and aesthetics. The Contractor will re-grade the face of the berm as required to reduce the change of soil erosion. The Contractor will design, build and install two reinforced concrete free-standing side walls that run the entire length of the A Range, extending perpendicular from the aforementioned retaining wall 100ft towards the 25-yard line. These concrete free-standing walls shall be 12ft high and tie into the aforementioned retaining wall behind the bullet trap. The design of the reinforced concrete walls can be either monolithic poured or CMU design, but shall utilize steel reinforcement and be suitable to the task. The Contractor’s design may incorporate footers, ribs, or other devices or components to provide a structurally sound wall, but the side of the wall that faces towards the range must be perfectly flat without any ridges or flat surfaces perpendicular to the wall face. The Contractor shall incorporate all best practices in the design and construction of the freestanding walls, including but not limited to, drainage, structural ability, and aesthetics. There are existing steel I-beams that may be incorporated into the new wall design at the Contractor’s discretion. If the Contractor’s design requires the removal of the steel I-Beams, the Government will remove and dispose of them before commencement of the project; however there may be depressions in the soil where the upright beams were, the Contractor will be responsible to re-grade these areas. The Contractor will design, build and install a reinforced concrete pad the width of the bullet trap, extending from the existing pad demarcating the 25-yard line to the target line, this concrete pad will be referred to as the surface danger zone of the range.
