- Because of the unique weather patterns specific to Minnesota, the range may be indoors or outdoors during the summer months and exclusively indoors during the winter, early spring, and late fall months.

- If outdoor, the range shall be covered or available for all weather use and have proper drainage controls as well as a safe usable all weather surface during rainy conditions, (i.e.

pea gravel, blacktop, concrete).

- If indoor, the range shall possess a ventilation system that conforms to OSHA standards http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/CFR-2014-title29-vol6/pdf/CFR-2014-title29-http://www.access.gpo.gov/nara/cfr/waisidx_10/29cfr1910a_10.html http://www.osha.gov/Reduction_Act/TAGS-SUP.html http://www.osha.gov/Reduction_Act/TAGS-SUP.html

Whether outdoor or indoor the range must meet the following criteria:

• Must allow for target placement a minimum distance of 1.5 feet from the firing line, and a maximum distance of 75 feet from the firing line.

• Must have distinct firing line indicators (i.e. concrete or blacktop sidewalks for outdoor, firing line for indoor).

• Range must have the ability to facilitate barricaded shooting positions at 21, 45, and 75 feet on all lanes.

• All covering supports, barricades or barricade holders on the range shall be constructed of a material that does not deflect/ricochet rounds that inadvertently strike it (Example: wood).

• Must possess or provide target base stands that are compatible with 1"x2" fir strips to hold fixed targets.

• The range must be able to accommodate all handgun and shotgun calibers.

• The range must have reduced-light or no-light firing capabilities.

• The range cannot disallow the shooting of DHS/TSA/FAMS approved steel targets, provided frangible ammunition is used and the shooter is at least twenty-one (21) feet away from the steel targets.

• Range rules cannot disallow students from drawing and firing from the holster or students turning and then drawing and firing from the holster.

• Range rules cannot disallow students from multiple and rapid-fire drills.

• Range rules cannot disallow a student from firing and moving in front of the firing points with an instructor present (i.e. tactical movement and shooting drills).

In addition to the range requirements above, the facility must have the following within close proximity (walking distance) to the firing range:

• Firearms cleaning area

• 240 square feet of secure storage that can be provided on-site for safeguarding of targets, ammunition, and other training devices and equipment.

• Parking available on site for a minimum of 10 vehicles at one time.

• Equipped with separate male and female washroom/restroom facilities.

• Have a classroom or break room to accommodate a minimum of 15 students

• Firing range area in use by the Government shall be closed or limited from view form the public during the corresponding hours of use

A bullet trap shall exist on the range. The range owner will be responsible for lead recovery at the range.

Scope:

The estimated number of rounds fired per month is 20,000.

TSA will provide all ammunition, targets and firearms instructors.

TSA estimates that it will require 1044 hours of range time per year. Additional hours may be necessary for a variety of reasons (e.g. hiring surges, changes in training requirements, etc.). Any additional hours are inherently considered to be within the scope of the contract, as the contract is intended to provide for all firearms training needs of the field office. However, this is NOT a requirements contract. Any increase in the number of contracted hours can only be made by the Contracting Officer and will be done via written contract modification. No on-site changes are authorized.
