7. Restricted Area/Access Coordination. The GR is responsible for coordinating with the facility manager/user/occupant/requester to provide access, escorts, or temporary visitor access badges for contractor personnel while performing SOW duties. The Contractor shall be responsible for scheduling access/escorts/badges by contacting the facility manager/requester at the Entry Control Point of the restricted/controlled area.

7.1 Restricted/Controlled Areas. Contractor performance within restricted/controlled areas shall require Contractor compliance with various levels of security and established personnel security entry control procedures. The Contractor shall ensure all contractor employees performing services in secured areas are processed for a controlled area, limited access, or visitor badge by the Entry Controller of the restricted/controlled area. Dyess AFB security may be viewed as being one of three broad levels, the level in effect being dependent on the location or AREA of Dyess AFB in question.

The project area of security exists in “GENERAL ACCESS” areas. These areas are all of Dyess AFB outside of the "USAF Controlled" and "USAF Restricted" areas.

8. Installation Access. Dyess AFB is considered a closed base. All personnel entering must have specific permission of the installation commander for entry. This permission is granted when a Contractor employee is issued an identification card. The GR will provide information necessary to obtain identification cards. The contractor shall be responsible to ensure that all of its employees obtain, and keep on their person at all times while working on the base, a USAF identification card. Upon completion of the work or termination of an employee, the contractor shall be responsible for turn in of identification cards to the Contracting Officer or to the Pass and Registration Office of the Security Forces.

NOTE: Failure to turn in badges will result in WITHHOLDING OF FINAL PAYMENT and revocation of any future badges issued by Pass and Registration Office to the employee and the contractor.

8.1. Dyess Form 173. The Dyess AFB Form 173 is subject to the privacy act of 1974, Authority: 10 U.S.C. 8012 and 5 U.S.C. 552a (b) (7). Disclosure is Mandatory: Failure to provide the information and Social Security Number (SSN) could result in denied access to the Dyess AFB installation.

8.1.1. Effective 1 Nov 04, a completed signed original Dyess Form 173 (Mar 04) must be delivered to Pass & ID by 0900 on the duty day prior to the desired day of entry onto Dyess AFB. The Visitor Control Center no longer issues temporary passes to contractor personnel unless they have already been previously identified on an executed Dyess Form 173. All information on the Dyess Form 173 must be typed and the authorizing signature must be in blue or black ink. Personal information provided on the Dyess Form 173 will be cross-referenced against state and federal criminal databases to identify those individuals possessing outstanding warrants. Those individuals with outstanding warrants will be detained at the Visitor Control Center on the desired day of entry, and turned over to Abilene Police Department.

8.1.2. The approving authority (individual on the 577) can make “ink changes” in red ink to correct any errors noted on the form. All changes have to be initialed by the approval authority.

8.1.3 .All individuals with Dyess Form 173’s will still continue to be processed via the Texas Law Enforcement Terminal System (TLETS—police wants/warrants check). Once it is determined the individual is cleared from any wants or warrants, a copy of the Dyess Form 173 will be placed at the Tye Gate entry point. The Tye Gate Guard will use this form as an Entry Authority List (EAL) allowing contractors onto the installation. The contractor will then be able to go to the Gate directly (not the Visitor Control Center (VCC) or Arnold Gate) and verify if their Dyess Form 173 is there. Should their Dyess Form 173 not be there, they will be directed to the VCC for issuance of an AF Form 75. At this time, someone will physically have to meet them to sponsor them onto the installation. (Reasons why the form would not be at the guard shack would be erroneous driver’s license number, erroneous information, warrant, or identified as illegal alien).

8.1.4 Should their Dyess Form 173 be at the Tye Gate entry point, the contractor will be told to proceed directly to the Pass and Registration Section for the 7 SFS Contractor Badge issue. The Pass Section will have the original Dyess Form 173. Once a badge is obtained, they need only show the badge at the installation gate for entry onto the installation. Please note that neither the Security Forces Control Center nor the Tye Gate Guards will check the Dyess Form 173 for errors. This is the responsibility of the Pass and Registration Section.

8.1.5. The Dyess Form 173 will be maintained at the Tye Gate entry point for 48 hours (two business days). After the specified time has expired, it will be destroyed. Should the contractor not process through Tye Gate in that 48-hour period, the contractor will require someone to physically vouch them on base to get a one day pass at the VCC so they may proceed to the Pass and Registration office for their badge. The hold period for these forms at the gate can and will be extended should rain days occur or through prior coordination with any affected agency.

8.2. Identification of Contractor Vehicles. Contractor vehicles must be marked on each side with company name with either permanent or semi-permanent/magnetic signage.

8.3. Other Vehicle and Licensing Requirements:

8.3.1. All Contractor employees who will be driving a vehicle on Dyess AFB shall have a current driver’s license with them at all times while on Dyess AFB.

8.3.2. All Contractor vehicles to be operated on Dyess AFB will have a valid state registration, vehicle inspection, and insurance. Proof of registration and vehicle insurance must be physically available at all times while the vehicle is on Dyess AFB.

8.3.3. Any Contractor employee who will be operating heavy equipment or specialized equipment that requires a license or certification shall be so licensed and/or certified with proof presented to the contracting officer prior to work start.

9. Security Danger Warning, Accident Prevention, Fire Prevention and Fire Protection Requirements. All Contractor operations shall be conducted and performed in accordance with the Department of Labor, OSHA requirements found in 29 CFR 1910 and 29 CFR 1926, project identified national standards, military manuals, instructions, pamphlets, standards and handbooks, and the US Army Corps of Engineers’ Safety and Health Requirements Manual 385- 1-1, dated 03 Sep 96 at https://www.publications.usace.army.mil/USACE-Publications/Engineer- Manuals/. The Contractor shall keep the work site clean and clear of any work debris, materials, supplies, tools, or equipment when work is not taking place.

9.1. Security Police and Fire Protection. The Government will provide general on-base security police and fire protection service. Security police phone extension is (325)696-2131 for emergencies, and (325)696-4100 for routine calls. Fire protection emergency phone is 117 (from on-base phone only), or (325)696-2117 from a cell phone.

10. Contract Manager. The contractor shall provide a contract manager who shall be responsible for all requirements in this SOW. The name of this person and an alternate(s) who shall act for the contractor when the manager is absent, shall be designated in writing to the Contracting Officer (CO). The contract manager or alternate shall have full authority to act for the contractor on all matters relating to this contract. The contractor shall provide the contract manager’s names, addresses, and telephone numbers. The contractor shall maintain a current listing of employees, providing updates as changes occur. The contract manager or alternate shall be available during Mon-Fri at 0800-1500. The contract manager or alternate shall have a good understanding of the requirements pertaining to this contract for interpretation and implementation of directives (written and oral) issued in English by the CO or GR.
