FROM: Warren E. Rupf, Sheriff-Coroner Contra
DATE: August 17, 2001 Costa
SUBJECT: Approve Contract for Bangemaster �. County
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I. RECOMMENDATION ACTION:
APPROVE AND AUTHORIZE the Sheriff, or designee, to sign a contract on behalf of the County
with John A. Montagh, in an amount not to exceed $52,000 for Rangemaster/Armorer/Instructor
services for the period of September 1, 2001 through August 31, 2002.
II. FINANCIAL IMPACT:
NONE. No additional funds are requested; funding for this service is included in the Office of
the Sheriffs budget.
III. BACKGROUND/REASON(S) FOR RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
The Office of the Sheriff contracts with police agencies and with Martinez Adult School for the use
of the Sheriffs Range. These contracts depend on an on-site coordinator for the realization of their
goals. The safety of persons and property is the responsibility of the Rangemaster.
The Sheriffs Office safety personnel must train and qualify with firearms on a semi-annual basis.
Each year, the Training Division schedules over 150,000 hours of firearms training. This training
occurs at the Sheriffs Range using four separate shooting ranges. When firearms are being used
simultaneously on more than one range, the services of a Rangemaster are critical. Mr. Montagh
has been a firearms instructor for the Office of the Sheriff for more than eleven years, is a certified
armorer, and has served as Rangemaster for over four years.
IV. CONSEQUENCES OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Failure to approve this request would lessen the Sheriffs ability to meet mandated legal
requirements for Peace Officers in regards to firearms training and would increase the county's
liability for daily activities conducted at the Sheriffs Range. Funds provide by outside agency
contracts would be reduced or lost.
