The Bermuda Police Service has their sights set on a new gun range.

An invitation to tender for the project in Fort Prospect in Devonshire was printed in The Royal Gazette yesterday.

The notice said: “The work involves the preparation of the proposed New Gun Range location at Fort Prospect, including excavation, grading, concrete works, trenching, foundations, roofing, and installation of a bullet trap and baffle system as outlined in the Scope of Work.

“Contractors submitting a tender for this work will be required to provide a health and safety plan and method statement, as well as provide sufficient information to demonstrate their technical and financial capability to complete the works in accordance with the specification and contract drawings.”

A government spokeswoman said the new range would replace the one at Cooper’s Island.

She added that it would be inappropriate to provide a cost estimate “because we are in the tender submission stage”.

Completed tenders should be returned no later than 3pm on October 11.

For more information or to arrange a site visit, interested contractors should contact Allanette Hayward at 501-3121 or abhayward@gov.bm.
