General Information

1. General. The Contractor shall operate ranges and provide services, support and down range maintenance seven days a week, 24 hours a day including weekends and holidays to support training on Fort Hood. A two hour mandatory shut-down period at dawn and a two hour mandatory shut-down period before dusk is provided each day for down range activities. Tasks requiring more time down range shall be coordinated with and approved by Range Operations. The Contractor shall operate and/or support 230 training ranges, facilities and areas, covering an estimated 196,797 acres (Refer to TE H, Detailed Range Listing and TE Q, Installation Range Map).

Provide logistical support and down range repairs for the Instrumented Ranges at Fort Hood, TX. Provide support for equipment tests, range overhaul and upgrades as well as incorporate new ranges and range technologies as they evolve over the life of the contract.

1.1 Mission. The Contractor shall provide support, maintenance and operate selected ranges (see TE H, Detailed Range Listing) in support of Range Operations, Training Division, Directorate of Plans, Training, Mobilization and Security (DPTMS), United States Army Garrison, Fort Hood (USAGFH), Texas.

1.1.1 The Contractor shall provide resources and management necessary to perform tasks associated with range operations, maintenance and repair and Supply and Support Services at Fort Hood, Texas. On order from the Contracting Officer in writing, the Contractor shall provide additional services in support of III Corps Regionalization at other III Corps Installations. The major functional areas of work to be performed under this PWS are:

● Range Operations

Automated Multi-Use Ranges (MUR) Automated Small Arms Ranges Non-Automated Ranges Instrumented Ranges Scaled Ranges Pilot Knob Rifle Zero Range (PKRZ) Underground Training Facilities Training Areas Seasonal Requirements

Special Projects

1.2 Background. Fort Hood (FH) Range Operations offers a variety of training facilities; Automated Multi-Use Ranges (MUR), Automated Small Arms Ranges, Non-Automated Ranges, Underground Training Facilities, Training Areas and Scaled and Instrumented Ranges. MUR’s are commonly referred to as "Roll On-Roll Off" ranges, which are large acreage firing ranges with automated targets that are operated and monitored by personnel in control towers. These ranges support a wide variety of training exercises that can include small arms, Bradley, Tank, Howitzer, Aviation and a variety of other weapon systems. Automated targets range from stationary pop-up infantry and vehicle targets to rail mounted moving targets that simulate enemy fire and/or being destroyed by igniting pyrotechnics. Automated MUR are the most labor intensive range type due to the geographical distribution, number of automated ranges, complexity of equipment and staffing requirements. The number, complexity and configuration of the ranges may increase or decrease as future training requirements dictate and as range modifications and updates are implemented. Mandatory shutdown, a period of two hours twice a day when all ranges cease fire at dawn and dusk, is the time when most of the maintenance and target scenario set-up is done for the planned day and night training events.
