Statement of Work Firing Range Services – Atlanta, Georgia

1.1 Scope

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) requires an established/existing shooting range within a fifteen (15) mile radius of Atlanta International Airport (ATL). This is NOT a request to build a range. The range shall be required to provide a minimum of twelve (12) simultaneous firing points, a minimum of four (8) days per month. The range will be indoors and shall meet the criteria in section 1.2.

1.2 Specific Requirements

The indoor 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)

• 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

• 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)

1.2.1 General Requirements

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.

• Equipped with separate male and female washroom/restroom facilities

• A classroom to accommodate a minimum of 24 students

• Firing range area in use by the Government must be closed or limited from view from 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. It is estimated that each student will fire approximately 500 rounds per session. The estimated number of rounds fired per month is 96,000 (based on 24 shooters X 500 rounds X 8 days). TSA personnel or its contractors will use the range an average of 24 days per quarter (8 days X 12 months = 96 days per year/4 quarters) with a maximum of 24 shooters per day;

Under this contract, TSA requires exclusive use of the range in 4-hour block, preferably mornings. This does not include Federal holidays.

1.3 Government Furnished Material

TSA will provide all ammunition, targets and firearms instructors. The range time must be available exclusively to the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel during the hours indicated.
