Bid Notice-ILEA Range Horizontal Ricochet Catcher.pdf

This Bid Notice solicits construction services for the Indiana Law Enforcement Academy (ILEA) Range, requiring the fabrication and installation of a horizontal ricochet catcher system, berm reconstruction, and sidewall extensions. The horizontal ricochet catcher involves the design and placement of new overhead structural steel and/or baffle framework intended to intercept upward-trajectory ricochets and safely deflect them back into the range floor or berm. Additional work includes sectional rebuilding and re-grading of the existing earthen backstop to enhance impact absorption capabilities and structural extension of existing concrete or masonry sidewalls to expand lateral containment. The solicitation establishes specific response deadlines and bid submission requirements for interested contractors to participate in this range safety improvement project.

The bid notice establishes the procedural requirements for submission of proposals, including specified due dates for bid submissions and any associated site visit or bidder conference information. Pricing terms, set-aside provisions, and funding source details are to be submitted in accordance with Indiana procurement regulations and the specific requirements outlined in the complete solicitation documents. Contractors should review all technical specifications and drawings provided with the bid notice to ensure accurate cost estimation and feasibility assessment for the three primary components of work: ricochet catcher installation, berm reconstruction, and sidewall extension.
