Part 1: GENERAL

1.1 INTRODUCTION:

1. This document is intended to provide the necessary information/requirements for all contractors performing work at

Department of Commerce (DOC) facilities. It is understood all information in this document may not apply for the specific project described in the Statement of Work; however, it is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure the requirements are met when applicable.

2. Specifics of the activities are described in the attached Statement of Work and supporting documentation.

3. Questions about the requirements can be addressed to the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officers Representative

(COR)/Project Manager designated for the specific task order.

1.2 BACKGROUND

The Office of Facilities and Property Management (OFPM) Division manages and provides services to the DOC staff in support of their research, technical, and administrative programs. DOC agencies serviced by OFPM include but may not be limited to: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), The National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), and The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).

1.3 HOURS OF OPERATION

1. DOC hours of operations are from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Monday through Friday, on normal Federal workdays. Should the

Contractor desire to work at times other than those specified above, the dates and hours must be scheduled at least 10 working days in advance and approved in writing by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

2. Use the Main Entrance at the DOC site for materials supply and entry for:

a. Special arrangements may be made through the COR for delivery of material/supplies, and/or overtime beyond these hours or on holidays.

b. Check-in required at DOC Visitor’s Center located at the site main entrance.

3. Employee identification shall include the name, country of citizenship, employer, and green card (if applicable) is needed for each Contractor and Subcontractor's employee working on the DOC site. These shall be submitted to the COR for review 10 days prior to the work date. After hours work will require a hard badge from the General Contractor and a COR/Federal escort 100 percent of time if accessing DOC buildings (see section 3.3). Follow the specific procedures pertaining to security and work hours prescribed by the COR/Security. Contractor vehicles must show current registration and proof of insurance.

4. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Advisory System:

Note: The following paragraphs describe the threat levels that may be changes at any time due to national security issues. If a change is issued by the DHS all changes in procedures/directions for entering and performing work at the site will be communicated to the contractor through the COR. Contractor’s access to the DOC campus grounds may occasionally be restricted as a result of a change in the Nation’s Threat Level when publicly announced by DHS.

5. National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS)

a. The National Terrorism Advisory System, or NTAS, replaces the color-coded Homeland Security Advisory System (HSAS).

This new system will more effectively communicate information about terrorist threats by providing timely, detailed information to the public, government agencies, first responders, airports and other transportation hubs, and the private sector.

b. It recognizes that Americans all share responsibility for the nation’s security and should always be aware of the heightened risk of terrorist attack in the United States and what they should do.

6. NTAS Alerts

a. After reviewing the available information, the Secretary of Homeland Security will decide, in coordination with other

Federal entities, whether an NTAS Alert should be issued.

PAGE 14 OF 78 1333ND23QNB190169

b. NTAS Alerts will only be issued when credible information is available.

c. These alerts will include a clear statement that there is an imminent threat or elevated threat. Using available information, the alerts will provide a concise summary of the potential threat, information about actions being taken to ensure public safety, and recommended steps that individuals, communities, businesses and governments can take to help prevent, mitigate or respond to the threat.

d. The NTAS Alerts will be based on the nature of the threat: in some cases, alerts will be sent directly to law enforcement or affected areas of the private sector, while in others, alerts will be issued more broadly to the American people through both official and media channels.

e. NTAS Alerts contain a sunset provision indicating a specific date when the alert expires - there will not be a constant NTAS Alert or blanket warning that there is an overarching threat. If threat information changes for an alert, the Secretary of Homeland Security may announce an updated NTAS Alert. All changes, including the announcement that cancels an NTAS Alert, will be distributed the same way as the original alert.

f. Contractor coordinates procedures with COR.

g. Threat Levels:

i. Low Condition (Green): A Low Condition is declared when there is a low risk of terrorist attacks.

1. Federal departments and agencies will implement general and agency-specific Protective Measures to assure that all facilities and regulated sectors take reasonable measures to mitigate vulnerabilities to terrorist attack.

2. Contractor coordinates procedures with COR.

ii. Guarded Condition (Blue): A Guarded Condition is declared when there is a general risk of terrorist attacks.

1. In addition to Protective Measures taken in previous Threat Condition, Federal departments and agencies will implement general measures in addition to agency-specific Protective Measures to check communications with designated emergency response or command locations, update emergency response measures, and provide public with information.

2. Contractor coordinates procedures with COR.

iii. Elevated Condition (Yellow). An Elevated Condition is declared when there is a significant risk of terrorist attacks.

1. In addition to Protective Measures taken in previous Threat Conditions, Federal departments and agencies may develop protective measures for the DOC campus grounds such as increased surveillance, coordinating emergency plans as appropriate with nearby jurisdictions, and implementing contingency and emergency response plans.

2. Contractor coordinates procedures with COR.

iv. High Condition (Orange): A High Condition is declared when there is a high risk of terrorist attacks.

1. In addition to Protective Measures taken in previous Threat Conditions, Federal departments and agencies will implement general and agency-specific Protective Measures for the DOC campus grounds.

2. At this Threat Level the Government may restrict access to site and facility to essential personnel only.

3. Contractor coordinates procedures with COR.

v. Severe Condition (Red). A Severe Condition reflects a severe risk of terrorist attacks.

1. Under most circumstances, the Protective Measures for a Severe Condition are not intended to be sustained for substantial periods of time. In addition to Protective Measures for previous Threat Conditions, Federal departments and agencies may close Public and Government sites and facilities as a protective measure.

2. Contractor coordinates procedures with COR.

1.4 UNFORESEEN FACILITY CLOSURES

1. When an unforeseen facility closure occurs, the Contractor will either reschedule the work or perform the work on the next regularly scheduled workday. If the facility is closed, the contractor is not to be on-site unless notified by the contracting officer they are essential. Contractor personnel may be required by the COR to remain on site to handle problems as a result of a closure, e.g., severe weather, national emergency, changes in national security levels.

2. Information about the status of the site may be obtained by calling the switch board at 303-497-3000. Usually the day’s site status is available by 6 AM MST. Contractor can verify site status and sign up for email and text site notifications at the following website:

http://www.boulder.doc.gov/cgi-bin/docstatus.cgi

1.5 SANITARY FACILITIES

PAGE 15 OF 78 1333ND23QNB190169
