The new system is an electric motor driven auger that will physically move the expended ammunition and other items that are expended when discharging firearms. The old trap for the vacuum system will be removed from the back of the existing steel plates. The current vacuum system will be removed and all equipment associated with it. The new auger system will be attached to the existing steel plates and the drive motor will be installed per design in a new attached structure on one side of each existing Range. No abatement or remediation is required as part of this work. This is a Lead-Free range. The Government will provide both air sample tests and swipe tests results. The contractor is responsible for testing the air where work is taking place at the time of the work to ensure proper protection is provided for all workers. The equipment to be removed will be cleaned with a HEPA vacuum. The equipment will be tested to ensure the residue remaining is within safe limits defined by the EPA, OSHA, and other applicable state and national standards. The removed equipment will be turned over to the Government. The equipment will be deposited in Government provided bins and disposed of by the Government. The Government will clean the ammunition debris collection systems before the start of work and dispose of contents. The Government will provide 55 gallon barrels for the purpose of collecting debris and dust that is a result of the work. Once the contractor has placed the material in the barrels and filled them, the Government will dispose of the barrels and material.
