Approval of this Professional Services contract will provide a Technical Consultant to the HCSO for a new Active shooter Facility. Design, programming and construction of an active attack training facility metal building approximately 80' x 125' with classroom & catwalk. Building to be climate-controlled with roll up bay doors. To include small classroom and storage room for securing weapons and ammunition.

Based on recent data, over 800 personnel would be trained annually at this facility.
