2. Personnel List: Contractor must provide the COR/RE with a list of contractor's personnel who will require access to the site within twenty-four (24) hrs of arrival to site. The list must be kept current during project duration.

3. Security Investigation and Identification: Contractor's personnel may be subject to security investigation by FAA. Upon request by the CO, the contractor must promptly complete all security forms provided by the CO. If Contractor's personnel do not hold a “yellow” security badge or a contractor PIV card, then they must report to the FAA security guard at entrance to the facility and submit proper identification when signing in to obtain a “red” FAA visitor badge which will be worn on an outside garment at all times while on the facility premises. This badge must be returned daily to the security guard when leaving the premises, unless otherwise noted.

4. Vehicle Identification: Contractors and contractor's employees' vehicles must park as designated in the staging plans or as directed by the COR/RE.

SUMMARY 01 10 00 - 8

5. Escort Requirement: Work shall be arranged so that contractor's personnel can be escorted, when required by the FAA, in certain areas which are considered to be classified. Contractor's personnel shall not violate any security regulations pertaining to the ARTCC facility.

Contractor employee badging shall be per FAA Order 1600.72. This order defines two types of clearances (or security background checks) “Suitability Agency Clearance (SAC) (yellow badge), and National Agency Check with Inquires (NACI) (blue badge). SAC and NACI background checks may require up to one-hundred twenty (120) days. Typically contractors that are expected to be at the site over forty-five (45) days need to get badged with a SAC background check as a minimum. Other workers not expected to be at the site over forty-five (45) days can obtain a visitor badge on a daily basis, however, only those employees with a NACI Badge (blue) can escort daily visitors. The contractor must obtain the adequate number of NACI badges (blue) to be able to escort daily visitors, or obtain SAC badges (yel-low) for ALL expected workers.

6. Right to Search: Current procedures at FAA facilities include the "right to search." If in the judgment of the FAA a cause to search a vehicle or the person of personnel exists, such search will be made.

7. Replacement of Lost Identification: The FAA will provide personnel badges and vehicle identification tags as described above. It is the contractor's responsibility to return these badges and tags daily and upon completion of the project. The contractor shall be liable to pay for any FAA badge or tag not returned or replaced at the completion of the work. The payment for a lost I.D. shall be $100.00 for each and every tag or badge not returned or replaced.

8. Physical Security: At the end of each workday, the contractor shall secure all construction areas by closing and locking all doors and gates. The contractor is responsible for the security of the staging area, and shall provide the required measures at no additional expense to the government.

9. Weapons: ABSOLUTELY NO WEAPONS in any way, shape, or form are allowed on the job site, facility premises, or inside contractor vehicles (company or personally owned). Any weapons found by Security guards, (Refer to No. 6: Right to Search), may be subject to confiscation.

Security guards also reserve the right to contact local law enforcement and/or Homeland Security.

Contractor will then be banned for life from any access to the ZHU facility.
