• Terminology

(a) Visitor – A person who has been authorized entry to GPO facilities via a visitor’s pass.

Visitors are a type of non-badged personnel.

(b) Visitors Pass – An ID distributed by GPO security in exchange for the visitor’s valid government-issued ID. IDs are returned once the visitor returns the visitor’s pass at their original point of entry

(c) Affiliate – A person who requires prolonged or special access to GPO and as such, undergoes a screening process by GPO Security. Any visitors who intend to make modifications to the building must become affiliates prior to the start of work. Affiliates can be badged or non-badged.

(d) Affiliate Badge – A form of GPO ID issued to select affiliates at the sponsorship of a GPO

Employee. Typically reserved for affiliates of higher standing such as supervisors or specialists.

An affiliate badge grants a person the authority to access GPO facilities without supervision so long as they comply with GPO entry protocols. These access privileges are maintained while the Affiliate badge is in good standing (not expired or terminated). Affiliate badges are to be returned to GPO security once terminated.

(e) Badged Individual – Anyone issued a unique GPO ID as part of their duties. This classification includes not just GPO employees but also affiliates or authorized GPO tenants. Badged individuals are granted an expedited entry into GPO facilities and the ability to escort non-badged personnel, such as visitors.

• GPO Security Requirements

(a) Non-Badged Personnel (Visitors, Non-badged affiliates, etc) must always be escorted by

Badged Individuals.

(b) Badged individuals can escort up to five (5) non-badged personnel.

(c) In larger groups, the ratio of 1:5 (1 badged: 5 non-badged) is not to be exceeded. This ratio must be monitored and maintained at all times.

• Contract Requirements

(a) The general Contractor bears full responsibility for upholding GPO Security requirements, including:

(i) Submitting paperwork for their staff to become affiliates in a timely manner.

(ii) Submitting paperwork for select members of their staff to receive affiliate badges in a timely manner.

(iii)Not depending on GPO or other independent parties to fulfill their escorting requirements under any circumstances.

(b) The general contractor must demonstrate the ability to meet GPO security requirements through the following:

(i) Acquiring a sufficient roster of affiliates to properly staff the project.

(ii) Maintaining a consistent, daily site presence of badged-to-non-badged affiliates according to the 5:1 ratio.

INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION (AUG 1996)

(a) Definition. “Work" includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.

(b) The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. The

Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to

Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

(c) Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not-

(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) of this- section.

(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer’s written authorization.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

(g) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may-

(1) By contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor; or

(2) Terminate for default the Contractor’s right to proceed.

(h) If before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government’s rights under any warranty or guarantee.
