Frisco City Council approved a contract for the new shooting range as part of its consent agenda at a July 1 meeting.
The details
Several contractors were considered, but city council members awarded a $778,438 contract to Fort Worth-based construction company SEDALCO Inc. for the new range.
The range will be 25,000 square feet and include 4,000 square feet of administrative space, according to city documents. There will be multiple shooting lanes to accommodate shooting distances of up to 100 yards. The range will also feature space for offices, storage, weapons cleaning, a classroom and a break room.
The facility will be built on undeveloped land just south of Frisco Fire Station No. 9. The total construction budget for the new range is estimated to be $13.5 million, including design service fees.
What’s else?
Funding for the project is available from city bond funds. A maximum price for the range will come back to City Council for approval in the summer.
