The contractor shall monitor and report the occurrence of fires, explosions, collapses, flooding and other actual or potentially dangerous incidents. If needed/applicable, the contractor shall render first aid as required. In the event of any of these occurrences, the contractor shall summon appropriate emergency response forces (e.g., fire, security forces, rescue and ambulance) and then notify the Construction Security Manager (CSM) or Site Security Manager (SSM) per construction site Standard Operating Procedure (SOP). Additionally, the contractor shall assist emergency response forces and Government personnel in emergency evacuations as required in the CSP, Special Security Instructions (SSIs) and/or SOPs.

The Contractor shall provide a sufficient number of observers to ensure adequate observation and physical control of construction workers regardless of whether observation is of pedestrian construction personnel, construction vehicles or oversight of special construction items/equipment. Observers may also be utilized for oversight of specialty items off/outside the construction zone, to include oversight when transporting specialty items to and from the construction sites/zone. Additionally, observers will assist with construction zone/site badge issue and control for all/any personnel requiring entry to the construction zone/sites. Unforeseen schedule changes, however, may periodically require up to 24-hour a day coverage. Final number of observer personnel and functional policies and procedures shall be coordinated with the COR, SSM and/or SSO prior to construction start.

1.4.1.2. Construction Surveillance Technicians (CST) (ME). If required, CSTs are cleared individuals with specialized knowledge and training in construction trades.

To comply with national directives and standards, CSTs must be citizens of the United States (U.S.) and have, or be able to obtain, a Top Secret clearance with eligibility for Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) access. If required, up to 2 CSTs would be needed throughout different phases of the construction projects.
