5. BIDDERS QUESTIONS:

5.1. Question: In the table of contents Division 26, there is no mention of building raceways. The drawings mention conduit and MC cable. Which will be allowed for branch circuits?

Answer: Refer to added specification 260533 – Raceways and Boxes for Electrical Systems

5.2. Question: Specification section 114860 paragraph 2.1 describes a much different trap from that depicted on A452, Detail 10 (self-feeding hopper, vertical 3/8” AR500 plate, etc). Can you please confirm which has precedence?

Answer: See Addendum 3, Detail 10, sheet A452. These are recommendations for the bullet trap design. The selected range equipment provider and installer are responsible for ensuring that the bullet trap and baffle configuration meets all safety requirements and is appropriately constructed within field conditions

5.3. Question: Please confirm the closet firing line (e.g. 3 ft, 3 yards, etc) and the lowest firing position

(standing, waist, prone) for the range. This is necessary to evaluate the “no blue sky” conditions and ensure that the target mechanisms are adequately protected. As shown, the bottoms of the target mechanisms are exposed to bullet strikes AND rounds can escape the range between the targets.

Answer: Trainees shoot only standing from the 2-yard line. This would not change elevation in shooting a kneeling position until past the 7-yard line. Unlike DOCJT’s current system where the student cannot get any closer to the targets than 2 yards due to a physical barrier, the new system being open at the bottom should allow for contact shooting for the student to be all the way to the 0-yard line with the target.

5.4. Question: The baffle and wall cladding details and specifications call for 3/8” AR500, 2x4 furring, ½” plywood and 1-1/2” thick rubber tiles. While this is adequate ricochet protection and provides some reduction in noise reverberation, it adds considerable weight to the roof loading. Would Troy Board with Troy Wool be an acceptable alternative to the rubber & plywood? Troy Board has been tested and approved by the DOD for use as ricochet protection. Combined with 1-1/2” Troy Wool, it has an NRC of .89 and provides superior absorption of the sound waves generated by gun fire.

Answer: Troy Boards with Troy wool are an acceptable alternate manufacturer to rubber and plywood baffle and wall cladding.

5.5. Question: What is the purpose of the additional AR500 plate and rubber tiles on the back wall above the suspended ceiling? Properly arranged baffles should necessarily prevent any rounds from hitting this wall. Rounds exiting at the target area would strike the wall above this plate.

Answer: The final bullet trap and baffle design is up to the selected range equipment provider. This item may be removed if it is not part of your planned design.

5.6. Question: What is the width of the steel plate added to the ceiling at the targets in Addendum 3?

Answer: The width of plate will need to be field verified to ensure that all safety requirements have been met with the proposed baffle layout.

5.7. Question: Are the target specifications descriptive or prescriptive? Different manufacturers provide 360° turning targets, each assembled in a different manner. Are other manufacturers acceptable provided they provide a target system that meets or exceeds the functionality and quality of the Artic Shell mechanism?

Answer: Other manufacturer’s are acceptable as long as they can meet the performance requirements of the specifications.

5.8. Question: What type of target backers are going to be used? The industry standard is cardboard.

Some agencies don’t use full length target backers, choosing instead to staple the paper target to a cardboard top piece that fits into the target clamp. This reduces the operating cost of the system.

Answer: Cardboard Backers are preferred.

5.9. Question: Please confirm the extent of the steel and rubber wall cladding. The floor plan implies that it is on all walls except behind the trap.

Answer: There is a steel panel behind the bullet trap that extends from the top of the bullet trap frame upwards past the bottom of the hopper baffle. This panel serves as a secondary bullet stop behind the granular rubber coming out of the hopper baffle and should be a part of the range contractors bullet trap design. The entire back and side walls have steel and rubber cladding per plans and addendums.

5.10. Question: Drawing S406, Section C requires that the CMU wall be grouted solid to an elevation of 12’ 8” which is a common method of constructing containment for small arms ranges.

That said, what is the function of the 3/8” AR500 steel plate depicted on A551, Detail 2 and in other details? The steel plating will add considerable cost to the project (almost 50 tons of fabricated plate) and complicate the construction process considerably since it is shown going tight to the bottom chord of the OWBJs. If the concern is wall strikes, during normal training, the wall plates could be 1/8” or ¼” mild steel. At the target line area, it’s not uncommon to use AR500 plate as you could have harder angle strikes when shooting at the running man target.

Answer: The proposed range requires 3/8” AR-500 steel plate for proper ballistic containment capabilities.

5.11. Question: Most manufacturers fabricate their baffles on a 4’ module – either 48 or 96 inches wide – which is the most cost effective use of 96” wide steel plates. Hangers would typically be at 48” centers across the range. Numerous structural details show the P1001 installed at 30” centers. Is it possible to reduce the number of Unistrut runs by installing them at 48” centers?

Answer: The baffles and structural loading were designed with the baffles at 30” centers to provide the greatest flexibility in installation of panels.

5.13. Question: Metal Lockers: Locker Benches are called out in the specs but not shown on the plans. Please advise.

Answer: Locker Benches are not to be included as part of this project.

5.14. Question: Dimensional Letter Signage: Specs state Mounting is as indicated on drawings.

Plan Page A106 does not call out mounting method. Please advise.

Answer: Refer to revised sheet A106 for additional information.

5.15. Question: Wall Protection: Corner Guard locations are not shown on plans or on the Finish Schedule on Plan Page A800. Please advise.

Answer: Refer to revised sheet A800 for locations. Specification 102600 Wall and Door Protection section 2.3 CORNER GUARDS – delete section A. Surface mounted, Plastic corner Guards. All corner guards are to be type B. Surface -mounted , Metal Corner Guards.

5.16. Question: Room Identification Panel Signage: Is a signage schedule available with signage examples? Please advise

Answer: Refer to revised sheet A800 FINISHES – for signage schedule and signage types.

5.17. Question: Fire Protection:

5.17.1. Question: Spec not provided for Fire Extinguishers. Are these to be OFCI? Please advise.

Answer: Owner to provide and install fire extinguishers. Contractor responsible for providing fire extinguishers necessary during the course of construction activities.

5.17.2. Question: Plan Page G100 calls for Semi-Recessed Fire Extinguisher Cabinet. Specs call for Recessed Fire Extinguisher Cabinets. Please advise.

Answer: Provide recessed Fire Extinguisher Cabinets per specification.

5.18. Questions: Emergency Aid Specialties: Not shown on plans. Please advise locations.

Answer: Please refer to revised sheet G100 for location for AED location.

5.19. Question: On drawing P200, keynote #5 points to a detail on drawing P801. This detail has a note that says, “SUPPORT IS TYPICAL FOR ALL PIPING UNDER BUILDING FLOOR SLAB.” However, keynote #5 only appears in Firing Range 116 and Mechanical Room 140. Please clarify where this detail applies, whether its just where noted OR if it’s for the complete underground sanitary system.

Answer: Drawing P801: On “UNDERFLOOR PIPING SUPPORT DETAIL,” eliminate note reading “SUPPORT IS TYPICAL FOR ALL PIPING UNDER BUILDING FLOOR SLAB.” This detail to apply only for underfloor piping in Firing Range 116 and Mechanical Room 140.

Also reference structural drawings for coordination of structural slab in these areas.
