Introduction
The City of Redmond invites qualified individuals or firms to submit proposals to provide an independent,
comprehensive outdoor shooting range safety and compliance inspection for a licensed shooting sports

shooting sports facilities operate safely, meet recognized industry standards, and comply with municipal
requirements governing ballistic containment, environmental management, and operational controls.
The inspection will evaluate current range conditions, management practices, and compliance with
applicable safety and environmental standards. It will culminate in a written report with findings, risk
rankings, and corrective-action recommendations.

sports facilities. The City maintains oversight to ensure continued compliance with range safety,
environmental protection, and public welfare provisions.
This RFP updates and replaces the previous solicitation posted (RFP 10874-24), reflecting an expanded
emphasis on national range safety standards, environmental best practices, and the integration of findings
into the City’s licensing and oversight processes.
The selected consultant will provide a defensible, third-party evaluation suitable for administrative, legal,

• Review safety signage, access controls, and perimeter security.
• Assess environmental conditions related to lead management, soil, and stormwater controls.
• Review facility rules, range safety officer procedures, training documentation, and emergency
plans.
• Examine maintenance practices, range infrastructure conditions, and overall operational
safety posture.
2. Compliance and Standards Review
• Compare range design and operations against recognized industry standards, including the
NRA Range Source Book and related best-practice frameworks.
• Cross-reference inspection findings to applicable City, County, and State regulations,
including RMC 5.80 and other relevant codes.
• Identify potential compliance deficiencies or risks, supported by evidence-based analysis.
3. Reporting and Recommendations
• Provide a written report including: Executive summary and key findings; annotated
photographic documentation; compliance matrix referencing relevant RMC provisions and
standards; prioritized corrective-action plan with cost estimates and implementation timeline;
recommendations for ongoing inspection, monitoring, and training improvements.
