52.24-403-70 Notice of Contractor Personnel Security Requirements (OCT 2005)

Compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12) and Federal Information Processing Standard Publication

201 (FIPS 201) 1 entitled "Personal Identification Verification (PIV) for Federal Employees and Contractors," Phase I.

1. Long-Term Contractor Personnel:

In order to be compliant with HSPD-12/PIV I, the following investigative requirements must be met for each new long-term 2 contract or employee whose background investigation (BI) process begins on or after October 27, 2005:

a. Contractor Personnel must present two forms of identification in original form prior to badge issuance (acceptable documents are listed in Form I-9, OMB No. 1615-0047, "Employment Eligibility Verification," and at least one document must be a valid State or Federal government-issued picture ID);

b. Contractor Personnel must appear in person at least once before a DOJ official who is responsible for checking the identification documents. This identity proofing must be completed sometime during the clearance process but prior to badge issuance and must be documented by the DOJ official;

c. Contractor Personnel must undergo a BI commensurate with the designated risk level associated with the duties of each position. O utlined below are the minimum BI requirements for each risk level:

* High Risk - Background Investigation (5 year scope)

* Moderate Risk - Limited Background Investigation (LBI) or Minimum Background Investigation (MBI)

* Low Risk - National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) investigation

d. The pre-appointment BI waiver requirements for all position sensitivity levels are a:

1) Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;

2) Favorable fingerprint results;

3) Favorable credit report, if required;3

4) Waiver request memorandum, including both the Office of Personnel Management schedule date and position sensitivity/risk level;

and

5) Favorable review of the National Agency Check (NAC) 4 portion of the applicable BI that is determined by position sensitivity/risk level.

A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements.

If the NAC is not received within five days of OPM's scheduling date, the badge can be issued based on a favorable review of the Sec urity Questionnaire and the Federal Bureau of Investigation Criminal History Check (i.e., fingerprint check results).

e. Badge re-validation will occur once the investigation is completed and favorably adjudicated. If the BI results so justify, badges is sued under these procedures will be suspended or revoked.

2. Short-Term Contractor Personnel:

15B61020Q00000005 Page 6 of 32

It is the policy of the DOJ that short-term contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or fewer are subject to the identity proofing requirements listed in items 1a. and 1b. above. The pre-appointment waiver requ irements for short-term contractors are:

a. Favorable review of the security questionnaire form;

b. Favorable fingerprint results;

c. Favorable credit report, if required;5 and

d. Waiver request memorandum indicating both the position sensitivity/risk level and the duration of the appointment. The commen surate BI does not need to be initiated.

A badge may be issued following approval of the above waiver requirements and the badge will expire six months from the date of issuance. This process can only be used once for a short-term contractor in a twelve month period. This will ensure that any consecu tive short-term appointments are subject to the full PIV-I identity proofing process.

For example, if a contractor employee requires daily access for a three or four-week period, this contractor would be cleared accord ing to the above short-term requirements. However, if a second request is submitted for the same contractor employee within a twelve -month period for the purpose of extending the initial contract or for employment under a totally different contract for another three or four-week period, this contractor would now be considered "long-term" and must be cleared according to the long-term requirements as stated in this interim policy.

3. Intermittent Contractors:

An exception to the above-mentioned short-term requirements would be intermittent contractors.

a. For purposes of this policy, "intermittent" is defined as those contractor employees needing access to DOJ information systems and/ or DOJ facilities or space for a maximum of one day per week, regardless of the duration of the required intermittent access. For exam ple, the water delivery contractor that delivers water one time each week and is working on a one-year contract.

b. Contractors requiring intermittent access should follow the Department's escort policy. Please reference the August 11, 2004, and January 29, 2001, Department Security Officer policy memoranda that conveys the requirements for contractor facility escorted acces s.

c. Due to extenuating circumstances, if a component requests unescorted access or DOJ IT system access for an intermittent contracto r, the same pre-employment background investigation waiver requirements that apply to short-term contractors are required.

d. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the contractor will only be issued a daily badge. The daily badge will be issued upon entrance into a DOJ facility or space and must be returned upon exiting the same facility or space.

e. If an intermittent contractor is approved for unescorted access, the approval will not exceed one year. If the intermittent contractor requires unescorted access beyond one year, the contractor will need to be re-approved each year.

4. An individual transferring from another department or agency shall not be re-adjudicated provided the individual has a current (w ithin the last five years), favorably adjudicated BI meeting HSPD-12 and DOJ's BI requirements.

5. The DOJ's current escorted contractor policy remains unchanged by this acquisition notice.

Notes:

1. FIPS 201 is available at: www.csrc.nist.gov/publications/fips/fips201/FIPS-201-022505.pdf

2. Under HSPD-12, long-term contractors are contractors having access to DOJ information systems and/or DOJ facilities or space for six months or longer. The PIV-I identity proofing process, including initiation and adjudication of the required background inve stigation, is required for all new long-term contractors regardless of whether it is the current practice to issue a badge. The second p hase of HSPD-12 implementation (PIV-II) requires badge issuance to all affected long-term contractors.

3. For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-ap pointment waiver package.

4. In order to avoid a delay in the hiring process, components should request an Advance NAC Report when initiating investigations t o OPM. Per OPM ' s instructions, to obtain an Advance NAC Report, a Code " 3" must be placed in block " B " of the " Agency Use Only " section of the investigative form. This report is available for all case types.

5.For contractors in position sensitivity/risk levels above level 1, a favorable review of a credit check is required as part of the pre-app ointment waiver package.

52.218-000 CONTINUING CONTRACT PERFORMANCE DURING A PANDEMIC INFLUENZA OR OTHER NATIONAL EMERGENCY (May 2008)

During a Pandemic or other emergency we understand that our contractor workforce will experience the same high levels of absente eism as our federal employees. Although the Excusable Delays and Termination for Default clauses used in Government contracts list epidemics and quarantine restrictions among the reasons to excuse delays in contract performance, we expect our contractors to make a reasonable effort to keep performance at an acceptable level during emergency periods.

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has provided guidance to federal managers and employees on the kinds of actions to be taken to ensure the continuity of operations during emergency periods. This guidance is also applicable to our contract workforce. Co ntractors are expected to have reasonable policies in place for continuing work performance, particularly those performing mission c ritical services, during a pandemic influenza or other emergency situation.

The types of actions a federal contractor should reasonably take to help ensure performance are:

* Encourage employees to get inoculations or follow other preventive measures as advised by the public health service.

* Cross-train workers as backup for all positions performing critical services. This is particularly important for work such as guard services where telework is not an option.

* Implement telework to the greatest extent possible in the workgroup so systems are in place to support succe ssful remote work in an emergency.

* Communicate expectations to all employees regarding their roles and responsibilities in relation to remote work in the event of a pandemic health crisis or other emergency.

* Establish communication processes to notify employees of activation of this plan.

* Integrate pandemic health crisis response expectations into telework agreements.

* With the employee, assess requirements for working at home (supplies and equipment needed for an extende d telework period). Security concerns should be considered in making equipment choices; agencies or contract ors may wish to avoid use of employees' personal computers and provide them with PCs or laptops as appro priate.

* Determine how all employees who may telework will communicate with one another and with management to accomplish work.

* Practice telework regularly to ensure effectiveness.

* Make it clear that in emergency situations, employees must perform all duties assigned by management, even i f they are outside usual or customary duties.

* Identify how time and attendance will be maintained.

It is the contractor's responsibility to advise the Government Contracting Officer if they anticipate not being able to perform and to w ork with the Department to fill gaps as necessary. This means direct communication with the Contracting Officer or in his/her absence, another responsible person in the contracting office via telephone or email messages acknowledging the contractor's notification. The incumbent contractor is responsible for assisting the Department in estimating the adverse impacts of nonperformance and to work di ligently with the Department to develop a strategy for maintaining the continuity of operations.

The Department does reserve the right in such emergency situations to use Federal employees, employees of other agencies, contract s upport from other existing contractors, or to enter into new contracts for critical support services. Any new contracting efforts would be acquired following the guidance in the Office of federal Procurement Policy issuance "Emergency Acquisitions", May, 2007 and Subpart 18.2. Emergency Acquisition Flexibilities, of the Federal Acquisition Regulations.

[End of Clause]

2852.223-70 Unsafe Conditions Due to the Presence of Hazardous Material (June 1996)

(a) "Unsafe condition" as used in this clause means the actual or potential exposure of contractor or Government employees to a haza rdous material as defined in Federal Standard No. 313, and any revisions thereto during the term of this contract, or any other material or working condition designated by the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) as potentially hazardous and requiring safety controls.

(b) The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is responsible for issuing and administering regulations that require c ontractors to apprise its employees of all hazards to which they may be exposed in the course of their employment; proper conditions and precautions for safe use and exposure; and related symptoms and emergency treatment in the event of exposure.

(c) Prior to commencement of work, contractors are required to inspect for and report to the contracting officer or designee the presenc e of, or suspected presence of, any unsafe condition including asbestos or other hazardous materials or working conditions in areas in which they will be working.

(d) If during the performance of the work under this contract, the contractor or any of its employees, or subcontractor employees, d iscovers the existence of an unsafe condition, the contractor shall immediately notify the contracting officer, or designee, (with written

15B61020Q00000005 Page 8 of 32 notice provided not later than three (3) working days thereafter) of the existence of an unsafe condition. Such notice shall include the contractor's recommendations for the protection and the safety of Government, contractor and subcontractor personnel and property th at may be exposed to the unsafe condition.

(e) When the Government receives notice of an unsafe condition from the contractor, the parties will agree on a course of action to mitigate the effects of that condition and, if necessary, the contract will be amended. Failure to agree on a course of action will cons titute a dispute under the Disputes clause of this contract.

(f) Nothing contained in this clause shall relieve the contractor or subcontractors from complying with applicable Federal, State, and local laws, codes, ordinances and regulations (including the obtaining of licenses and permits) in connection with hazardous material including but not limited to the use, disturbance, or disposal of such material.

(End of Clause)

FAO-0001 Bonds

(2) An irrevocable letter of credit (ILC);

(3) A tripartite escrow agreement;

(4) A Certificate of Deposit; or

(d) Individual Sureties.

15B61020Q00000005 Page 9 of 32

(1) Bidders may elect to furnish individual surety bonds. If individual surety bonds are furnished for bid guarantees, payment or performance bonds, the individual sureties must submit their bonds proof of ownership and value of the assets which they claim in t heir net worth at time of bid opening. The Government's preferred method of proof is to have a statement of net worth prepared by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Statements from a CPA that contain disclaimers are not acceptable. The statement of net worth on the Standard Form 28, Affidavit of Individual Surety, is insu fficient and will not be accepted without additional proof of value and ownership.

(2) Bidders are cautioned that individual sureties must provide complete and detailed information in Block 9 of Standard Form 28 concerning other contracts on which they have provided bonds. This information shall include contract number, contract location, amo unt, and type of bond and telephone number of the involved contracting office. Failure to provide the proof and information required may result in rejection of the bid or termination of the contract for failure to provide adequate bonds.

(a) Bid Guarantee. Each bidder shall submit with his bid a Bid Bond (Standard Form 24) with good and sufficient surety or sureti es acceptable to the Government, or other security as provided in provision 52.228-1, in the form of twenty percent (20) of the bid pric e or not to exceed $3,000,000. The bid bond penalty may be expressed in terms of a percentage of the bid price or may be expressed in dollars and cents. A bid bond is not required for bids of $150,000 or less. (FAR 28.102-1)

(b) Performance and Payment Bonds. Within 10 days after award the contractor shall execute and submit to the Contracting Off icer two bonds, each with good and sufficient surety or sureties acceptable to the Government, as follows; a Performance Bond (Stand ard Form 25) and a Payment Bond (Standard Form 25A). The penal sums of such bonds will be as follows: (Not required for contracts of $150,000 or less)

(1) Performance Bond: The penal sum of performance bonds at the time of contract award shall be 100 percent of the original contract price.

(2) Payment Bond: The penal amount of payment bonds at the time of contract award shall be 100 percent of the original contract price.

(c) For construction contracts greater than $30,000 but not greater than $150,000, the Contracting Officer shall select two or more of the following payment protections, giving particular consideration to inclusion of an irrevocable letter of credit as one of the sele cted alternatives (FAR 28.102-1(b)(1)):

(1) A Payment Bond;

(2) An irrevocable letter of credit (ILC);

(3) A tripartite escrow agreement;

(4) A Certificate of Deposit; or

(5) A deposit of the types of security listed in 28.204-1 and 28.204-2.

15B61020Q00000005 Page 10 of 32

(d) Individual Sureties.

(1) Bidders may elect to furnish individual surety bonds. If individual surety bonds are furnished for bid guarantees, payment or performance bonds, the individual sureties must submit their bonds proof of ownership and value of the assets which they claim in thei r net worth at time of bid opening. The Government's preferred method of proof is to have a statement of net worth prepared by a Cer tified Public Accountant (CPA) in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP). Statements from a CPA that contain disclaimers are not acceptable. The statement of net worth on the Standard Form 28, Affidavit of Individual Surety, is insuffi cient and will not be accepted without additional proof of value and ownership.

(2) Bidders are cautioned that individual sureties must provide complete and detailed information in Block 9 of Standard Form 28 concerning other contracts on which they have provided bonds. This information shall include contract number, contract location, amo unt, and type of bond and telephone number of the involved contracting office. Failure to provide the proof and information required may result in rejection of the bid or termination of the contract for failure to provide adequate bonds.

The minutes shall be signed by the contractor and the Contracting Officer, and a signed copy placed in the contract file.

(b) The Contractor shall familiarize himself/herself with all procedures involved in normal institution routines. Any requirements which may constitute a problem or result in conflict, will be brought to the attention of the Contracting Officer or his representative fo r determination.

FAO-0005 Submittals

Within 10 calendar days after commencement of work or as otherwise established by the Contracting Officer, all materials and articles requiring approval, as contemplated by the Materials and Workmanship clause, shall be submitted by the contractor.

The submittal process is in place to allow the Government the opportunity to determine whether materials or procedures used by the contractor are in accordance with contract requirements. It is ultimately the Contractor's responsibility via the quality control process to ensure submittal items installed under the contract and work performed on site are in accordance with industry standards and gen eral practices.

(a) The types of submittal requirements specified in this contract may include, but is not limited to; shop drawings, product data, samples, certificates of conformance or compliance, certified test or inspection reports, equipment, materials, and miscellaneous wor k related submittals for construction. Individual submittal requirements are generally specified in applicable sections for each unit of work in the specifications and/or as a whole in one section in the statement of work.

(b) The Bureau of Prisons (BOP) Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) shall act for the Contracting Officer in the review and acceptance of all submittals. The Contractor shall submit submittals as required by the contract/specifications to the COR for tra nsmittal to the Contracting Officer. Fabrication of any work or purchase or use of any submittals (such as materials for which samples are required or equipment, etc.) shall not take place until written acceptance is given by the COR, except at the Contractor's own risk.

(c) The Contractor shall submit all shop drawings and submittals sufficiently in advance (unless otherwise specified in the speci fications) of the construction requirements to allow ample time for checking, re-submitting, and re-checking.

(d) Failure of any materials to pass their specified tests shall be sufficient cause for refusal to consider, under this contract, any fur ther samples of the same brand or make of that material. The Government reserves the right to disapprove any material or equipment which has previously proven unsatisfactory in service.

(e) The Contracting Officer’s or designee’s approval or acceptance of submittals is not to be construed as a complete check. Appr oval or acceptance will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility for any error which may exist, as the Contractor is responsible for the satisfactory construction of all work. The Contractor is responsible for delivering a final product/system that is operational as i ntended by the contract requirements, regardless of any Government approvals or acceptance of submittals. The Government assumes no liability during the submittal approval/acceptance process. It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to deliver a properly funct ioning product or system.

Work hours and work days may be altered only with a 48 hour advance appro val of the Contracting Officer.

NOTE: Access to the site will be available during normal working hours except during emergencies. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to familiarize himself, his employees, and his subcontractors of the working hours and conditions in the correctional fac ility, as working hours may not constitute a full eight hour day. The Government assumes no responsibility to the Contractor, nor to any of his subcontractors, for shorter hours due to institutional emergencies or entry and/or exit of workers necessitated by normal in stitution routines. The procedures and institutional entrance/exit routines applicable to this project will be explained at both the pre-bid conference/site visit and the pre-construction meeting.

52.225-9 Buy American-Construction Materials (May 2014)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

"Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item"--

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is--

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

"Construction material" means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or su pplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discr ete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and dis tinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the const ruction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

"Cost of components" means--

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free e ntry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportat ion costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

"Domestic construction material means"--

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if--

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its compo nents. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

"Foreign construction material" means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

"United States" means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

15B61020Q00000005 Page 17 of 32

(1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the component test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS it

em. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as prov ided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or componen ts listed by the Government as follows:

_________NONE_____________________

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that--

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American statute is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American statute to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inco nsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American statute.

(1)(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adeq uate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this c lause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award.
