D. SECURITY ISSUES

All Vendor’s personnel and delivery drivers are required to complete a medical screening each day they come onto FCC Coleman property. As of the date of this Description of Requirement, the medical screening consists of three medical questions and a temperature reading. More intense medical screenings may be imposed at a future date, which cannot be known at this time. Any personnel that fail the medical screening currently in effect for the designated work day will not be allowed on the property to work for that day. The decision of the screening staff is final and not open for discussion or exceptions.

Furthermore, should a Vendor or their personnel begin to develop typical symptoms related to COVID-19 during the work day, they must immediately inform the escorting FBOP staff. The Vendor will be assessed by FBOP Medical staff. If the FBOP Medical staff determine the Vendor is highly likely to be infected with COVID- 19, they will immediately be escorted from the property. That vendor will not be allowed back on the property for a minimum of 15 calendar days. The decision of the Medical staff is final and not open for discussion or exceptions.

Protecting our staff, inmates, and the introduction of COVID-19 into FCC Coleman is our top priority. As this is a fluid situation with regular changes, more intense medical screenings and/or restrictions may be imposed at a future date, based on guidance from the Center for Disease Control (CDC), the World Health Organization (WHO), and/or the Central Office of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. Any future medical required Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), as with current non-pandemic related PPE, will be the responsibility of the Contractor to provide for their staff. The vendor will ensure their staff have adequate PPE and required training, and will maintain required documentation as required by OSHA, CDC, or any other Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ).
