After the initial 90-day period, the Contractor shall submit the information required by paragraph (c) to the Contracting Officer at least 15 days prior to making any permanent substitutions.

(c) The Contractor shall provide a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitutions, complete resumes for the proposed substitutes, and any additional information requested by the

The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor within 15 calendar days after receipt of all required information of the decision on substitutions. The contract will be modified to reflect any approved changes of key personnel.

2.5 AGAR 452.237-75 RESTRICTIONS AGAINST DISCLOSURE (FEB 1988)

(a) The Contractor agrees, in the performance of this contract, to keep all information contained in source documents or other media furnished by the Government in the strictest confidence. The Contractor also agrees not to publish or otherwise divulge such information in whole or in part in any manner or form, or to authorize or permit others to do so, taking such reasonable measures as are necessary to restrict access to such information while in the Contractor's possession, to those employees needing such information to perform the work provided herein, i.e., on a "need to know" basis. The Contractor agrees to immediately notify in writing, the Contracting

Officer, named herein, in the event that the Contractor determines or has reason to suspect a breach of this requirement.

(b) The Contractor agrees not to disclose any information concerning the work under this contract to any persons or individual unless prior written approval is obtained from the Contracting Officer. The Contractor agrees to insert the substance of this clause in any consultant agreement or subcontract hereunder.

2.6 REPORTING ALLEGED CHILD ABUSE

Pursuant to the spirit and requirements of P.L. 101-647, Section 225 and 226, the following applies:

Any employee or representative of the Contractor who becomes aware of allegations that a child in the program covered by this contract is (a) a victim of a crime of physical abuse, sex abuse, or exploitation; or (b) a witness to a crime committed against another person; shall make a report of the suspected abuse to the Contracting Officer’s

Representative within 24 hours. The initial report shall be made by phone and shall be followed-up in writing, providing salient points of the allegations.

When such allegations about a contractor employee occur as covered by this clause, the Contractor employee who is the subject of the allegations will immediately be required to vacate the work site and will be replaced by another contactor employee. The subject employee will remain away from the work site until an investigation is completed. The Government will not incur additional costs by the Contractor who must provide a replacement employee.

The Contractor shall limit disclosure of documents concerning alleged child abuse to the persons who by reason of their participation in the proceeding have reason to know such information.

Any conviction of a sex crime, an offense involving a child victim or drug felony, will be grounds for denying employment or for dismissal of an employee in any position-serving children. Conviction of a crime other than a sex crime may be considered if it bears on an individual’s fitness to have responsibility for the safety and well-being of children. The consideration of another crime bearing on an individual’s fitness will be mutually agreed upon between the NTC and agency involved.
