The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) seeks a firearms training range located within 12 miles of downtown Renton, Washington, to facilitate mandatory quarterly qualifications and other firearms training. The facility must comply with applicable local, state, and federal regulations, specifically those concerning lead exposure and OSHA standards. Key requirements include a live-fire training area with at least 10 firing positions, targets compatible with various ammunition, a weapons cleaning area, climate control, and the ability to conduct low-light training. Access must be fleet-friendly, with adequate parking, restroom facilities, and emergency communication options. Furthermore, the range must accommodate specific safety designs to mitigate ricochet risks and ensure proper contaminant disposal. DHS will have priority use of the range, which is required to provide at least 260 hours of use per year. The proposal must include recent lead exposure testing certification; non-compliance will grant the government the right to terminate the contract. This RFP emphasizes the DHS's commitment to maintaining stringent safety and operational standards for its training facilities.
