1.1 Problem Statement: The firing berm emplacements on Devens RFTA South Post Range Complex Automated Record Firing Ranges (ARFR) has a cover over the last iteration of the Army ARFR firing pits.

This berm is to reach a height of the existing concrete to ensure a constant height across of the range. The top of the berm is to be level and have the sides of the berm not to exceed a seventeen (17) degree slope. Six (6) composite 4x4 posts need to be placed into the ground at a depth of four (4) feet with two (2) post extending twenty (20) inches above the berm and one (1) post extending fifty-four (54) inches above the berm and to act as a barricade holder to hold the required barricades on each side of the new berm construction.
