STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES

PURCHASE AND INSTALL TARGET CURTAIN BACKINGS

Background: The United States Secret Service training facility has outdoor shooting ranges of various lengths and widths utilizing escalating steel plate bullet traps. It is desired that an innovative solution be indentified for a rubber-like curtain to be placed in front of the traps to prevent backsplash from the ammunition listed below.

Scope: The purpose of this contract is the purchase and installation of new target curtain backings for the outdoor pistol range on a tri-annual (every four months) basis.

Period and Place of Performance: The period of performance of this contract is base year plus 4 one-year options. Work shall be performed on site at James J. Rowley Training Center, 9200 Powder Mill Road, Laurel, MD 20708.

Type of Contract: This will be a firm fixed price contract.

Performance Objectives:

1. Target curtain backing material shall be self-sealing and shall be a rubber like material. Consideration should be given to selecting a product that is made of recycled content; and, that if it was not hazardous material due to lead contamination when disposed of that it could be recycled.

2. Target curtains shall be able to withstand shooting over a 4-month period or be able to withstand a minimum of 50,000 rounds per curtain. The 4-month period or 50,000 round usages will start one calendar day after installation date.

3. These curtains will be considered defective if holes larger than five inches in diameter occur within the 4-month period or 50,000 rounds per curtain usage. If this failure occurs, affected curtains will be fully replaced at no cost to the government.

4. These curtains must prevent splashback from the mentioned ammunition:

357 sig and 357 frangible

12 Gauge Shotgun: Slug and “00” buckshot; and #71/2, 8 buckshot

Rifle: 5.56 and 5.56 frangible; 5.56F, 308, 300 win mag and 22 caliber.

SUB MACHINE GUN----- 5.7 x 28 and 9 mm.

5. Curtains may require minor adjustment or realignment during and/or after installation of new curtains.

6. Curtains should have a specialized surface treatment (SST), ultra-violet light protective coating, light gray in color. Treatment solution should consider Low VOC material and coating method should also take into consideration low VOC application methodology.

7. Contractor shall provide new target curtain backings for the outdoor rifle range on a tri-annual (every four months) as follows:

· Twelve (12) primary target curtain backings, four (4) feet wide by seven (7) feet long.

· Eleven (11) intermediate target curtain backings thirty (30) inches wide by seven (7) feet long.

8. Curtains must be able to withstand low temperatures and high heat temperatures ranging from 0° to 100°.

9. Contractor shall provide new metal hangers and straps to hang the new curtains. All primary and intermediate curtains shall have a reinforced backing applied in the area of the new hanger straps.

10. Contractor is responsible for transportation of new curtains to the site and for installing the new curtains. Due to U.S. Secret Service’s rigid training schedule, removal of existing curtains and installation of new curtains will be accomplished on a weekend or at a time other than normal duty hours, as scheduled by the Contracting Officer’s Technical Representative.

11. Contractor is responsible for compliance with all Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Department of Transportation (DOT), Maryland Occupational Safety and Health (MOSH), Maryland Department of Environment (MDE) standards, and other applicable standards pertaining to the removal of existing curtains and proper disposition. The waste stream has been characterized to contain lead (D008). Unless the contractor can provide documentation to the contrary, the material must be treated accordingly. The Secret Service has not accomplished initial lead-in-air monitoring for work such as changing the used curtains; accordingly, the responsibility for that action rest with the contractor and includes the interpretation, risk assessments, and determination for use of Personal Protective Equipment to protect workers. In that the work will be exposing contractor employees to lead which is a hazardous substance and considered a Persistent Bioaccumulative and Toxic material, the contractor shall follow the requirements as stated in this SOO (See Item 13 – Lead Compliance Plan.)

12. Contractor shall be provided thirty (30) business days from date of award to manufacture and install the new target curtains.

13. The Contractors shall develop a lead compliance plan to describe the procedures to be followed in order to protect workers from lead hazards while performing the work of removing the existing rubber-type curtains used to prevent back splatter of lead projectiles on the outdoor ranges. The plan will also ensure protection of the environment and assist in compliance with environmental protection requirements.

a. The Lead Compliance Plan will address the following:

i. Instructions to employees on the hazards associated with lead and the mitigation procedures in place by the employer (contractor). A description of each work activity where exposure to lead is possible: i.e. on the range, handling the old/used rubber-type curtains, handling the curtain holders and fixtures, etc. The description should include such topics as equipment and materials used, controls in place, crew size, job responsibilities, operating procedures, and maintenance practices; and shall also include work activity locations and lead-containing components keyed to the project drawings.

ii. Description of means to be used to achieve exposure compliance, including any engineering controls, use of personal protective equipment, housekeeping, hand-washing, etc.

b. Worker exposure assessment procedures to monitor and document worker lead exposure.

i. Exposure monitoring shall include:

1. Initial determination (monitoring for the initial determination may be omitted if there is sufficient objective or historical data showing action level compliance according to the requirements), and

2. Continued exposure monitoring required as a result of initial exposure determinations, as necessary.

3. Protective clothing to protect workers from lead exposure, housekeeping procedures to prevent the spread of lead contamination both in and beyond the lead hazard control area, and hygiene facilities and practices to prevent workers from inadvertent ingestion of lead.

4. Administrative controls to limit worker exposure to lead, if necessary, to including worker rotation schedule to be employed, if engineering controls or PPE precautions fail to eliminate exposures exceeding the action level or permissible exposure limit (PEL).

5. Medical surveillance procedures to monitor worker lead exposures if appropriate and assure fitness for wearing respiratory protection devices if required.

6. Competent person and worker training required assuring workers understand the significance of the lead hazards and how to protect themselves.

7. A Uniform Hazardous Waste Manifest will be used to document and control the waste stream(s). A properly licensed disposal company will be used transport / dispose of the used curtains in accordance with EPA, MDE, and DOT regulations. The JJRTC ID number and address will be placed on the form as the generator to ensure proper tracking and return of the designated facility copy of the waste manifest.
