6.0 Project Communications

6.1 General

OBO has an accredited a web-based Extranet that enhances the security associated with the exchange of DOS design/construction data and provides business applications that improve the communication between OBO and partner contracting activities. The service name is ProjNet (Project Extranet). This service is available to support the Project Communication needs of both the Contractor and the USG.

6.2 System Capabilities

ProjNet has been developed to support web-based USG-to-Business applications related to the DOS’s facility engineering, design and construction projects worldwide. In general, ProjNet supports four generic types of business processes: document collaboration, work product evaluation, contract monitoring, and information dissemination. The following applications are available to support the contract. While there are additional applications being developed, current and active applications are described below.

Document Number: 19AQMM26R0279 PROCESSED Page 3 of 4

6.2.1 FILER

FILER is a collaborative application that allows authorized project participants to exchange documents among a specific work group.

ProjNet will support document collaboration among project teams. In FILER, drawings and related documents may be transmitted among business partners. FILER provides permission framework and access designations to files stored on the ProjNet server. As required, audit information may also be tracked. ProjNet’s FILER meets the FPS-140 USG requirement to electronically encrypt SBU data. FILLER is one DOS approved method for transmitting Sensitive BUT Unclassified (SBU) information across the Internet.

6.2.2 DrChecks

Contract deliverables (typically plans and specifications) will be reviewed for contract compliance utilizing a document review and checking tool called DrChecks. DrChecks assists the team (both contractor and USG) in collecting, organizing, and tracking issues to resolution. DrChecks is the tool that supports the Request for Information (RFI) process.

6.3 Classification and Sensitivity of Data Processed

ProjNet will support Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU) data only. Classified and SBU/NOFORN (No Foreign Dissemination) information is not allowed on ProjNet. It is the responsibility of all ProjNet users to understand the Department of State’s classification guidelines, and to limit the distribution of data on the ProjNet site to unclassified and SBU information only. Movement of unclassified and SBU electronic project files across the web will be limited to ProjNet (or Other Governmnet-provided or approved applications) in order to protect data from interception. The Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security will have complete access to all ProjNet data and logs with the purpose of policing classification guidelines. The hosting website and equipment supporting ProjNet are USG owned; all data passing across the website shall be construed as the property of the USG, subject to enforcement of its classification guidelines.

6.4 Service Operation

ProjNet uses secure socket layer (SSL) technology to transmit data between client and server. This technology is built into the site so it is accessible from any Internet connection. Access to ProjNet begins with a request from the prime contractor to the OBO Project Executive. Each Prime Contractor’s Facility Security Officer will be responsible for validating and approving their sub-contractors and vendors access requests before forwarding them to OBO. OBO’s Project Executive will be responsible for the review and approval of all requests, and certifying access as necessary to the Department’s mission.

6.4.1 USG’s Role

The USG will support the use of the SSL technology to all Contractors and their sub-contractors. The USG will assist users with login, program usage support, and management of server hardware and software. The USG will support the Contractor’s implementation of ProjNet by providing an online training course, available via the Foreign Service Institute (FSI), at the Contractor’s expense.

Instructions for completing the training will be provided by the COR.

6.4.2 Accounts and Passwords

It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure authorized training has been given to all personeel who wish to access ProjNet prior to assigning a password. All new ProjNet users, or those requiring remedial training, will be required to complete the Foreign Service Institute's (FSI) distance learning course PA526-ProjNetSM (Facilitationg Design and Construction Communication Utilizing the ProjNet Extranet technology) in advance of being issued a new user account. The cost per person is approximately $125 ( Contractor's exspense).

Once users have a connection to ProjNet, they identify themselves to the application using a unique password. OBO will be responsible for creating and setting up all user accounts. A unique password for each user is automatically generated for that user by the system. Using their unique password, user login to the appropriate ProjNet Application.

6.4.3 Contractor’s Role

It will be the Contractor’s responsibility to send the COR a complete list of all required users for the system from each company, including subcontractors required for the project. Requests for ProjNet access for any subcontracting firms or vendors owned by, or operated in, any country on the Prohibited Countries List, will not approved. The USG will provide the contractor with a registration form requiring the name, telephone number, email address, and verification of US Citizenship for each ProjNet user. For requests involving non-US Citizens, the contractor must also provide country of citizenship, passport number, passport issue place and date, passport expiration, birth date and place, birth name and other names used, and name in the local language characters for each user.

Requests for ProjNet access by citizens of any country on the Prohibited Countries List will not approved. It will be the responsibility of the Contractor’s Facility Security Officer to monitor and ensure their personnel are following the Business Rules associated with ProjNet.

6.4.4 Design Professional and Contractor Hardware Requirements

Document Number: 19AQMM26R0279 PROCESSED Page 4 of 4

All Architectural/Engineering/Construction project team members are required to have broadband Internet service and a compatible web browser to gain access and use ProjNet. Browser compatibility can be tested and confirmed on the ProjNet website.

6.5 Business Rules

The Contractor is restricted from transporting unencrypted SBU data electronically across the Internet using email, FTP sites, or commercial web sites. OBO encourages contractors to handle all contract drawings and documents as if they are SBU, in order to minimize risk.

ProjNet supports up to Sensitive but Unclassified (SBU) data only. It is the responsibility of all ProjNet users to understand the Department of State’s classification guidelines, and to limit the distribution of data on the ProjNet site to unclassified information.

Classified or SBU/NOFORN information shall not be transmitted via the ProjNet site, or any other electronic transmission using the Internet.

Contractor personnel with access to ProjNet must be U.S. citizens or may be non-US Citizens that have obtained approval to operate the system from the Department of State (DOS). The contractor cannot grant non-U.S. citizens access to ProjNet without prior DOS approval. Contractors wishing to nominate non-US citizens for access must also provide country of citizenship, passport number, passport issue place and date, passport expiration, birth date and place, birth name and other names used, and name in the local language characters, if applicable, for each user to the COR and DS for registration/approval. Requests for ProjNet access by citizens of any country on the Prohibited Countries List will not approved. Government denial of non-U.S. Citizens or subcontractors for security reasons can be made without providing rationale for denial.

It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor’s Facility Security Officer to register, maintain, and delete all user accounts to the system on a need to know basis.

Individual users in each office will be provided with a system-generated password that will enable access to that user only.

Users shall protect their passwords as SBU information, and refrain from sharing their access into the ProjNet system.

ProjNet workstations should not be left unattended while an active ProjNet work session is ongoing. Users should logout of ProjNet after each work session.

6.6 ProjNet Connectivity

ProjNet is utilized in a web-based environment and therefore subject to the inherent speed and connectivity problems of the Internet.

The Contractor is responsible for its own connectivity to the Internet. ProjNet response time is dependent on the Contractor's equipment, including processor speed, Internet access speed, current traffic on the Internet, bandwidth, and hardware latency. The Government will not be liable for any delays associated from the usage of ProjNet including, but not limited to: slow response time, down time periods, connectivity problems, or loss of information. The contractor should ensure that connectivity to the ProjNet system is accomplished through DSL, cable or other broad band connection. Under no circumstances shall ProjNet usage be grounds for a time extension or cost adjustment to the contract.
