Fort ~North Public Safely Training Center- Indoor Small Anus Ranges
505 Felix Street
Fort Worth, Texas 76155
To whom it may concern:
Carey's Small Arms Range Ventilation has been develop", des'agning and installing successful Indoor
Range projects for 26 years. We have specialized our designs in the control of contaminants created by
indoor ranges and are currently known as a National leader in the field_
Thee are three purposes for properly ventilating indoor small arms ranges:
1. Remove air -dome contaminates from human respira#i'.ot* created by the firing of a gun in an
enclosed range_ These include lean, other heavy metals and carbon monoxide. left
unaddressed, OSHA levels for safe- operation are quickly surpassed.
2 Maintain a negative range pros -sure to the surrounding areas of the building. This keeps
contaminates created in the range from entering adjoining areas. Heavy metals such as least that
are allowed to enter into non -range spaces can cause levels above OSHA allowable limits for
surface contaminations. These high levels are unsafe due to the chance of ingestion.
3. Remove smoke from Ve range for proper vision of the targets.
The design, installation and commissioning of life range ventilation system can be the difference Between an
unsafe range and a range that meets the OSHA, EPA and lvfOSH standards. The critical components are
custom fabricated in ouf facility and are the summation of the lessons learned in cover 1,000 past projects.
Specitically, the radial air diffusers and plenums are custom buR and have been tested to priwide laminar a5r
stow at the firing lane after proper commissioning. `Laminar" flour is a steady, even airpow required to safely
clear contaminates from the range. These special diffuses are not avaisabie from a standard diffuser
suppiieT. The control system and programming uses standard parts from Johnson Control, but the
programming of the equipment is critical_ The programming is done by an experienced programmer who has
worked on aO of the ranges that our oampany has completed. it is also critical to have the control system
Installed and tested to automatically silut down if unsafe conditions are detected. This will protect both the
occupants of the range and tine adjoining offices.
The on site supervision is necessary to ensure guaranteed results in meeting these standards. It has been
our experience that d the project does not have the proper oversight, it can result in unsatisfactory results
and finger pointing. Unlike a standard ventilation project where the system Is installed and the air tes±and
balancer sets the design air flog+ at each system outlet, a range ventilation system is designed for proper air
flow at the firing fine that is ten to fifteen feet from the distribution point. it must be the designer's
responsibility. An installing contractor can only install the project as shorn on the drawings and control the
airflow to the distribution device_
Clue to the potential of over exposure to carbon monoxide, lead and other heavy metals on the range as well
as the potential to contaminate adjoining areas with surface contaminates, the only way to guarantee
peribmiance is to have the system installation and design managed by someone wilth the experience to see
potential problems with the installation. The site reviews also look at the building construction to identify
potential problems such as a breach in the range wafts that could present problems for the end users_
Carey's Small Anns Range Ventilation has completed over 1,000 indoor range ventilation projects at facilities
that have met ail of the required standards, including projects for the US Navy, Air Force, US Marshals,

Police Departments and private ranges. In these projects we have similarly provided the critical components
with a complete design and build to ensure a successful installation. Each range has met the commissioning
requirements of an average air flow of 75 feet per minute with no readings less than 50 feet per minute. Each
range has also maintained a negative condition of .04" of static pressure in the range. Al of the United States
Navy Ranges have been tested by an independent industrial hygienist who has measured and returned
results of less than detectable levels of lead in the respiratory zone. The Ranges have further proven to all
have a negative pressure that contains contaminates.
Carey's Small Arms Range Ventilation is the sole designer and installer of the specialty range ventilation
system for the Fort Worth Police Department weapons range located at the new Public Safety Training
Campus_ The system has been designed, installed, and calibrated by Carey's to ensure sate operation of
each range. The proprietary prooramOm and design make service by any other contractor a risk to the safety
of the ranee environment for the Fort Worth Police Officers.
For the above reasons, we have learned through experience that we must be involved in the installation,
supervision and commissioning of the indoor ranges we design. In addition, any repairs, service,
maintenance or replacement parts not provided by Carey's cannot be supported by Carey's and the
specialized, one -of -a -kind components we have developed are essential to a successful and safe system.
Unique & specialized scone items Carey's currently performs under the current PM agreement:
Carey's provides 2417065 remote technical support via the custom DDC controls graphical
interface - built and programmed in-house by Carey's. This service includes answering
system questions, providing assistance and diagnostics on range operations, and range
remote troubleshooting, supporting the end user in maintaining a safe environment, and
minimizi ng range down -time. No other company would have the ability to perform this
service.
• Carey's performs airflow readings using a Short -Ridge velgrid airflow meter - which is
specialized for reading airflow velocities. By doing this. Carey's can ensure to the owner the
airflow is remaining laminar or even, and the airflow velocities are meeting the original
system design and airflow parameters - which have proven to guarantee exposure levels to
lead below OSHA allowable limits. Carey's snakes any necessary adjustments and
rebalances the airfloW as needed.
• Carey's provides any necessary adjustments to the specialized DDC custom controls while
on site (and also can provide this service via remote connection). This feature is crucial to
:providing a safe environment, maintaining negative range pressure, which is crucial in the
prevention of contaminates from spreading to adjoining spaces and controlling exposure
levels. Carey's is the only provider licensed and able to make these changes.
• Carey's performs all work to verify that the ranges are rnaintaining a negative pressure and
not contaminating the building with lead by pushing contaminate out of range areas.
• Improper maintenance could result in the contamination of the building or worse - exposures
to the occupants of the range to contaminate over allowable levels resulting in lead poisoning
to the occupants of the range and building
