SCOPE OF WORK / SPECIFICATIONS – MOBILE SHOOTING RANGE

Requirement: The Veterans Administration Police Department in Amarillo, TX has a requirement for a two-lane mobile (moveable) shooting range with a maximum 25-yard target distance in which to safely conduct live-fire firearms training and required periodic qualification/requalification, using handguns, rifles, and shotguns. Due to close proximity of other activities and personnel on the VA complex, the range must have a zero-surface danger zone (Zero SDZ) and be capable of containing all fired projectiles. The contractor shall provide a ‘turnkey project,” including the complete mobile range, required supporting concrete pad(s) including all necessary excavation and site restoration, and line voltage electric shore power extended from the nearest available electric service, etc. Provide all labor, materials, supplies, tools and equipment, supervision and services necessary for the install and setup of the Mobile Range.

Current VA specifications, guidelines, design alerts, manuals, details, criteria, instructions, procedures, standards, etc. Refer to the VA Technical Information Library at http://www.cfm.va.gov/TIL/ The work is to conform to attached specification Table of Contents.

If there is a discrepancy in any condition affecting work, it shall be brought to the attention of the VA Representative before proceeding with the work.
