5.1. Basic Services. The Contractor will ensure the installation and functionality work as described in this PWS.

5.1.1. The Contractor is responsible for all fabrication on target system:

5.1.2. Frame/Rail: Contractor will construct a tubular rail system to support operation of 4 moving targets at approximately 90 feet in length. This will consist or two parallel pairs of tubing, attached to mounting bracketry as pairs.

5.1.3. Trolleys: The trolleys will be constructed with eight urethane, sealed ball-bearing wheels in an opposed configuration, entrapping the rails, allowing for smooth, quiet, and stable movement.

5.1.4. Movement of targets will be on Poly/Kevlar timing belt maintained on a spring based automatic tensioning system. The drive and end rollers will be cog rollers to match the belt, preventing slip associated with cable or rope based drive systems.

5.2. Mechanical/Civil Work

5.2.1. Contractor will dismantle/removal of entire existing target rail system leaving an empty concrete pad.

5.2.2. Contractor will dispose of removed materials at a recycle facility.

5.2.3. Contractor will install rail system to the existing concrete pad using wedge anchors, providing a much more stable rail system than is existing

5.3 Electrical

5.3.1. Contractor will remove electrical components of existing system including motor wiring, limit switches and wiring, drives, remote system, any other components of existing system, leaving only the existing power conductors from the control shed to the existing NEMA 12 painted steel enclosures that are down range behind the barricade. These materials will be disposed of by contractor.

5.3.2. Contractor will provide and install necessary cabling in existing conduit between the existing control shed and the existing NEMA 12 painted enclosures. This will consist of ethernet communications cable and various signal wires.

5.3.3. Contractor will provide and install a servo motor on the left end of the rail system for each of the 4 target movers, adjacent the existing control panels behind the barricade wall. These 4 motors will turn the 4 individual cog wheels, thus pulling the 4 Kevlar/Poly timing belts that are attached to each of the 4 trolleys that move the 4 targets, enabling motion. Motors can run forward and reverse, enabling both left and right motion.

5.3.4. Contractor will provide and install servo drives in the existing NEMA 12 painted enclosures located behind existing barricade wall.

5.3.5. Contractor will provide and install cabling between the 4 servo motors and the existing NEMA 12 painted enclosures.

5.3.6. Contractor will provide and install a five-function (5 button) wireless HANDHELD remote with wireless range capabilities of at least 300 feet from existing control shed located on Hibbs Range. Further use of “button” in this document will be referring to the aforementioned wireless handheld remote.

5.3.7. Contractor will provide, custom program, and install a PLC (programmable logic controller) that will process the signals from the wireless remote system to control the movement of the targets based on the described operation specifically for the needs of this range. PLC will be installed in existing control shed.

5.3.8. Contractor will provide and install an E-Stop (mushroom head, maintained position pushbutton) on the backside of the barricade, adjacent to the target mover system entry that will prevent movement being initiated by the remote while shooters are downrange installing or inspecting targets. This is for safety.

5.4. Operation – Contractor will ensure ALL of the following functionality of the system:

5.4.1. The moving target system will accelerate the targets to 10ft/sec on command of operation before clearing the barricade and travel at that rate for the duration (six seconds) of the 60ft exposure, then stop behind the opposite barricade.

5.4.2. Targets will be controlled with wireless handheld remote. See Section 5.3.

5.4.3. Each of the four lanes will have a button that starts its respective targets motion.

5.4.4. One click of a targets respective button moves target from home (left) position to opposite (right) end. For instance, button number 1 will control movement of target 1, and so on respectively through button 4.

5.4.5. If a target is stationary at the opposite end, a single click of its respective button returns the target to home position.

5.4.6. If a target is in transition (in motion between home and opposite end) and its respective button is pressed, it will stop the target. From that state, another click of the same button will cause it to resume motion in the direction it was going.

5.4.7. The fifth button of the remote will initiate movement of all four movers to a staggered and evenly spaced position in the center of the track to allow shooters to access the target movers for installation or inspection of targets.

5.5. Testing/Validation

5.5.1. Contractor will ensure that the moving target system will accelerate the targets to 10ft/sec on command of operation before clearing the barricade and travel at that rate for the duration (six seconds) of the 60ft exposure, then stop behind the opposite barricade, per Bianchi Cup standards.

5.5.2. Contractor will position himself at 300 feet to each the North, East, South, and West of the existing control shed with the wireless handheld remote and ensure 100% reliability of the wireless control of the moving target system.
