Description

NOTE: THE ORIGINAL SYNOPSIS STATED "PRICING SHALL BE PERMITTED ON A PENDING BASIS" - IT IS CORRECTED VIA THIS MODIFICATION/AMENDMENT TO STATE "PRICING SHALL BE PERMITTED ON A PER DAY BASIS". This is a combined solicitation/synopsis for commercial items prepared in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued. The solicitation number is HSCEAM-06-R-00009, which is issued as a Request for Proposal (RFP). This requirement is an UNRESTRICTED acquisition. The North American Industry Classification Code (NAICS) is 611699. The proposed range must meet the following standards to qualify for consideration: The range time must be available exclusively to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) during the hours indicated. The range must be closed to the public during the corresponding hours and the hours for use should be scheduled. The range may be indoor or outdoor. The range must possess a minimum of 10 firing points and must be able to accommodate a qualification course distance minimum of 1.5 yards and a maximum of 25 yards. The range must possess moveable barricades for the 25- and 15-yard line courses of fire. The barricades shall be constructed of a material that does not deflect or ricochet rounds that inadvertently strike it. (Example: wood). The range shall possess adequate exterior lighting in both public and work areas. The range shall possess drinking fountains located near the range facilities for DHS use. The range shall be equipped with an eye wash station. The range shall be equipped with men and women's restroom facilities with running water located near the range facilities for DHS use. The range shall provide sufficient trash receptacles for used targets, target backings, and empty ammunitions boxes. The range shall provide adequate on-site parking to accommodate 15 vehicles. The range shall be located within a 40 minute commute from I-280 exit 8a in West Orange NJ. Commute will be assessed during peak traffic times associated with morning and evening ?rush hours?. The range must possess an on-site classroom facility with chalkboard or marker board to accommodate 25 students. The range must be able to accommodate the following calibers: 9mm, .40, 45,.357 and .223 caliber ammunition. The range shall possess rifle and shotgun capabilities. The range rules must allow movement between firing points and shall not restrict movement-oriented firearms training by students (i.e. standing to kneeling transitions.). The range rules shall allow shooters to draw and fire from the holster. The range rules cannot disallow a student from moving in front of the firing points with an instructor present, (i.e., tactical move and shoot type drills where instructor/student ratio would be too restrictive). Indoor ranges must possess air conditioning, heating, and an approved ventilation system that conforms to existing OSHA standards. DHS personnel will use the range an average of 8 days per month and approximately 85,000 rounds are anticipated to be shot per quarter. The proposals set forth shall price a minimum of 96 days per year. Pricing shall be submitted on a PER DAY basis. The contractor will be paid per the actual number of days used not to exceed total available per year. DHS will have priority scheduling as long as it is done 30 days in advance. The range must be closed or concealed from the public during the corresponding hours. Under this contract, DHS requires exclusive use of the range from 0700 to 1630 hours, and some blocks in the evening for night/low shooting. This does not include weekends or holidays, however, there are may occasionally be circumstances wherein a day of the weekend may be needed. Should weather (i.e, rainout) or unforeseen circumstances prevent the use of the range, DHS will have priority in re-scheduling those missed days within the same month, if possible, or the following month if not possible. PROPOSED SITE INSPECTION As part of the proposal evaluation process, DHS reserves the right to inspect all proposed sites to ensure compliance with all requirements set forth above.
