Chandler, County Administrator FROM: James W. Davis, P.E., Public Works Director J SUBJECT: Indian River County Firing Range - Engineering Services Contract DATE: March 4, 1998 The Public Works Department has substantially completed the design of the Indian River County Firing Range. The Range is similar to the Teneroc Firing Range west of Orlando and designed by C. Vargas and Associates, LTD, Consulting Engineers, for the Florida Game and Fresh Water Fish Commission(FGFWFC). The County has been issued a purchase order from the FGFWFC for approximately $740,000 for the design and construction of the Indian River County Firing Range. Since the design of Firing Ranges is a specialty type exercise, the County Public Works and Risk Management Departments are of the opinion that a firm specializing in Firing Range design should perform a Value and Safety Engineering review of the County's design. The Teneroc Range designer, C. Vargas and Associates, LTD, of Jacksonville, F1. Was contacted and was requested to submit a proposal for reviewing County staff's design. The Consultant submitted a proposal to provide up to 130 hours of design review for a not -to -exceed price of $9,700. This is approximately 1.3% of the project cost. MARCH 10, 1998 -66-
