Description

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has a requirement for a firearms range to conduct mandatory quarterly qualifications and other firearms training. The range shall be within a 30 minute commute of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport. The 30 minute commute will be assessed in consideration of prime, rush hour traffic in both the morning and late afternoon/early evening. The proposed range must meet the following standards to qualify for consideration: The range time must be available exclusively to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during the hours indicated. The range must be closed to the public during the corresponding hours and the hours for use should be scheduled. The range may be indoor or outdoor. The range must possess a minimum of 10 firing points and must be able to accommodate a qualification course distance minimum of 1.5 yards and a maximum of 25 yards. The range must possess moveable barricades for the 25- and 15-yard line courses of fire. The barricades shall be constructed of a material that does not deflect or ricochet rounds that inadvertently strike it. (Example: wood). The range shall possess adequate exterior lighting in both public and work areas. The range shall possess drinking fountains located near the range facilities for DHS use. The range shall be equipped with men and women restroom facilities with running water located near the range facilities for DHS use. The range shall provide adequate parking to accommodate 15 vehicles and coincide with the location of cited above (30 minute commute of the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport). The range must possess an on-site classroom facility with chalkboard or marker board to accommodate 10 (ten) students. The range must be able to accommodate the following calibers: 9mm,.40, and.357 (may be frangible) caliber ammunition. The range rules must allow movement between firing points and will not restrict movement-oriented firearms training by students (i.e. standing to kneeling transitions.). The range rules will allow shooters to draw and fire from the holster. The range rules cannot disallow a student from moving in front of the firing points with an instructor present, (i.e., tactical move and shoot type drills where instructor/student ratio would be too restrictive). Indoor ranges must possess air conditioning, heating, and an approved ventilation system that conforms to existing OSHA standards. DHS personnel will use the range an average of 8 days per month with usage of 6 hours per day (equating to 48 hours per month). The estimated number of rounds fired is 80,000 per year. The range must be closed or concealed from the public during the corresponding hours. Under this contract, DHS requires exclusive use of the range in four hour blocks from 0800 to 1800 hours, and blocks in the evening for night/low shooting. This does not include weekends or holidays, however, there are may occasionally be circumstances wherein a day of the weekend may be needed. Should weather (i.e, rainout) or unforeseen circumstances prevent the use of the range, DHS wil have priority in re-scheduling those missed days within the same month, if possible, or the following month if not possible. The proposed contract will be for a base year and four one year options. Services anticipated on or before March 1, 2011.
