Council directed staff to proceed with the proposed project and include $225,658 in the FY 2024 budget for the implementation of the project. The range rebuild project will consist of two phases. The first phase will includethe removal of the existing lead-filled rubber blocks and some miscellaneous structure materials from the site. A qualified hazardous materials company must complete the work. The Police Department contacted three different hazardous materials vendorswho each visitedthe range siteseparately so that they were aware of the quantity and type of materials to be removed and so that each had a complete understanding of the scope of work. Quotes were subsequently sent to the vendors. Upon receipt of the quotesfor the first phase,the low bid was from Haz Mat Special Services, LLC, in the amount of $13,990.The cost is substantially less than projected originally. The second phase of the project will be the range rebuild. As discussed during the retreat, the Department exploredother types of range systems becausethe current rubber block system proved unsustainable for the Departmentstructurally andeconomically. After research, a bullet trap system offered byAction Target was recommended. The Department has received a quote from Action Target for$144,000.00 under a GSA contract number GS07F0482Y. Action Target is also a sole source for this type of range system due to the nature of the products used to build the bullet trap system. The Police Department projects an additional $8,000 in materials, such as lumber, that will be needed to finish the project.
