- Description
- NOTICE: THE CLOSING DATE HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 3:00 P.M., FRIDAY JULY 1, 2005 This is a combined solicitation/synopsis for commercial items prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is HSCEAM-05-R-00030, which is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). This requirement is a small business set-aside. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) is 611699 and the small business size standard is $6.0 million. The proposed ranges must meet the following standards to qualify for consideration: As set forth in the section entitled, ?Location and Schedule Requirements,? the range must be available exclusively to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during the time indicated. The range may be indoors or outdoors and shall possess a minimum of ten (10) firing points with compressor and small generator. An indoor range shall possess air conditioning, heating, and approved ventilation system in conformance with existing OSHA standards. The range shall be able to accommodate a qualification course distance minimum of 1.5 yards and a maximum of 25 yards. There shall be firing lines at the 1.5, 3, 7, 15 and 25 yard lines. The range shall possess moveable barricades for the 15 and 25-yard line course 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 should possess a public address system available during firearms training. The range should possess some type of classroom/instructional facility with marking board and/or chalkboard, and seating for a minimum of 25 students. If a classroom is not available, a covered or enclosed area with seating for a minimum of 25 students, free from the elements, must be available for instructional purposes. The range shall possess a secure storage area dedicated exclusively to DHS under the resultant contract. This secure storage area shall be capable of storing at least 5000 rounds of pistol ammunition; 100 cardboard type target backers and targets; a portable stand-up 20-gallon compressor and a 12 position portable turning target system. The range shall be equipped with men and women?s restroom facilities with running water. The range shall possess an area in which to clean weapons. This area shall be equipped with sufficient countertop/tabletop space for multiple users at one time. The range shall provide sufficient trash receptacles for used targets, target backers, and empty ammunition boxes. The range shall be able to accommodate the following calibers: .357 SIG, 9mm Luger, and .40. The range shall possess adequate parking to accommodate a minimum of 15 vehicles. The range rules cannot disallow movement between firing points or restrict movement-oriented firearms at firing points by students (i.e. standing to kneeling transitions). The range rules cannot disallow students from drawing and firing from the holster or from concealment. The ranges 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 student/ instructor ratio would be too restrictive). The range rules shall allow shooters to utilize weapons on fully automatic during drills. The estimated number days for range usage per quarter is 24 days. The estimated number of rounds fired is 175,000 per quarter. ATTACHMENT 1 LOCATION AND SCHEDULE REQUIREMENTS The range must be closed or concealed from the public during the corresponding hours. Under this contract, DHS requires exclusive use of the range from 0800 to 1630 hours, a minimum of 8 days a month with one segment in a block of 5 consecutive days. This does not include weekends or holidays, however, there may occasionally be circumstances wherein a day of a weekend may be needed. Should weather (i.e., rainout) or unforeseen circumstances prevent the use of the range, DHS will have priority in re-scheduling those missed days within the same month if possible, or the following month if not possible. The range shall be within a 75 minute commute of Highway 290 and Beltway 8. The 75-minute commute will be assessed in consideration of prime, rush hour traffic in both the morning and late afternoon/early evening.
