In executing this mission RTLP contracted services and conducts periodic lead remediation on USAREUR-AF ranges. The purpose of this contract is to provide lead remediation at specified ballistic rubber equipped ranges.

1.3 Scope: The Contractor shall provide non-personal services for range maintenance to include services to the ballistic rubber and rubber coverings on ranges. The contractor shall accomplish remediation of lead, reinstallation of ballistic rubber material, and installation of rubber blocks for designated range target pits. The Contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items necessary to perform services as described in the PWS and associated contract documents. The Contractor shall perform to the standards and acceptable quality levels identified in this PWS and associated contract documents.

1.4 Objectives:

· Conduct unscheduled services or refurbishments of bullet catch impact media.
