All contractor employees shall always carry contractor photo identification. Contractor employees shall comply with any base security measures implemented at all times, to include, but not limited to, vehicle and goods searches, and identification checks during times of increased security. The contractor shall not be entitled to any compensation for delays or expenses associated with complying with the provision of this clause. Furthermore, nothing in this clause shall excuse the contractor from proceeding with the contract as required.

Strict security and personnel access control is enforced at March ARB. All employees desiring access must be identity proofed and vetted. All Contractors and sub-contractors must pass a Criminal History Report Inquiry [CHRI] through National Crime Information Center [NCIC], National Law Enforcement Telecommunication System [NLETS], state and local law enforcement databases.

The primary contractor will ensure all employees are U.S. citizens or possess proper credentials allowing them to work in the United States. The use of E-Verify is mandatory IAW E.O 12989. Identification required for identity proofing is as follows but not limited to:

Those employees that are foreign nationals must present (2) forms of identification. Foreign passports with a current arrival-departure record (Form I-94) bearing the same name as the passport and containing an endorsement of the alien’s nonimmigrant status, if it authorizes the alien to work for the employer. In the case of a nonimmigrant alien authorized to work for a specific employer incident to status, a foreign passport with Form I-94 or Form I-94A bearing the same name as the passport and containing an endorsement of the alien’s nonimmigrant status, as long as the endorsement has not yet expired and the proposed employment is not in conflict with any restrictions or limitations identified on the form. Please allow an additional 5 days to process.

The application for a pass/credential if driving must be accompanied by a valid REAL ID compliant driver’s license, state vehicle registration and proof of insurance. Contractor vehicles and equipment may be escorted during exercise operations and may be rendered immobile when not in operation by the removal of ignition keys or by other readily reversible means. All contractor vehicles are subject to search prior to entering and exiting the base and while on the base. Contract personnel are subject to random personal and vehicle searches. If contract personnel refuse to be searched, they will be denied entry to the base. Denial of entry to personnel who refuse to be searched, or detention of personnel found to be in possession of contraband or weapons may result in loss of base driving privileges, debarment from the base, or other administrative or criminal actions.

Valid forms of identification include:

a. United States Passport

b. Permanent Registration Card/Alien Registration Receipt Card [Fm I-551]

c. Foreign Passport with a temporary [I-551] stamp or temporary [Fm I-551] printed notation on machine readable immigrant visa

Chlorine Residual Comments

Delivery to dry water points and unit- level storage containers (for example, water buffaloes, 5-gal containers)

1 mg/L FAC If between 0.2 and 1 mg/L, rechlorinate to 1 mg/L and deliver.

If less than 0.2 mg/L, rechlorinate to 2 mg/L and ensure that at least 1 mg/L FAC remains after 30 mi

Table 2-8. Potable Water Tank Disinfection Methods [13]

Methods for disinfecting potable water tanks1

METHOD 1

Use when both water and the required amount of chemicals are plentiful

METHOD 2

Use if either water or the required chemicals are in short supply

METHOD 3

This is a less corrosive method using a lower concentration of chlorine

Fill tank to overflow level Prepare 5 gal of 100-mg/L FAC water

Fill tank to overflow level

Add calcium hypochlorite solution to achieve 100 mg/L FAC throughout the tank2

Add calcium hypochlorite solution to achieve 10 mg/L FAC residual

Mix or slosh the solution so it contacts all the surfaces

Swab the interior walls of the tank every 10 min or as often as necessary to keep the walls wet with the solution for 1 hour

Mix or slosh the solution so it contacts all the surfaces

Run some of the solution through valves and spigots

Run some of the solution through valves and spigots

Run some of the solution through valves and spigots

Keep interior surfaces wet for at least 60 minutes

Keep disinfected surfaces wet with chlorine solution for a minimum of 30 minutes

Hold this solution for 24 hours

Drain disinfecting solution to sanitary sewer or other approved location (not a lake, stream, or storm drain)3

Refill the tank with potable water with required chlorine residual and rinse the spigots twice

Perform bacteriological testing of the water in the tank

Upon satisfactory bacteriological test results, water may be distributed/delivered to the system

Notes:

1Table reads from top to bottom, not right to left.

2Do not add calcium hypochlorite granules directly to the water in metal containers. The chemical may not dissolve before contacting the metal, and it becomes very corrosive as it sits on the bottom of the container and dissolves. Always dissolve the required amount of chemical in a bucket or other smaller container of water and then add the resulting solution to the water in the container to be disinfected.

3Local requirements may require dechlorination prior to discharging. Dechlorination can be accomplished using several chemicals. If dechlorination is required, contact higher level PM support for assistance.

When there is no residual chlorine found in water trailers, trucks, tanks or in other storage and distribution points, personnel will need to add chlorine. To do this, chlorine dose calculations and measurements will need to be determined. Tables 2 - 9 and 2 - 10 provide various measurable volumes of liquid bleach, dry HTH, and a concentrated HTH solution that, when added to the indicated volume of water, will provide the approximate chlorine dose (in mg/L) indicated [13]. Keep in mind, the chlorine residual achieved using these values will depend on the chlorine demand exerted by the water that is chlorinated. The greater the chlorine demand, the lower the residual will be.

1 These tests (except for coliforms) are conducted by water point operators.

2 These tests are performed by the supporting PM element.

3 Tests performed by personnel collecting and submitting the AWT sample.

4 Includes representative points in piped systems and all water storage tanks (for example, trucks, trailers, hard- wall tanks, and onion-skin tanks). Statistical sampling representative of a large number of tanks is acceptable such that all tanks are sampled at least annually (for example, X percent/week/month/etc.).

5 Microbiological testing should be performed weekly, if possible, during the initial phase of field operations, and monthly as the theater matures and the water system is stabilized. Sampling should occur at the point of production and representative points within the distribution system to include 10% or more of storage containers, on a rotating basis.

6 These parameters should be monitored daily at the point of production and representative points within the distribution system to include up to 10% of storage containers, on a rotating basis. Where test equipment is not available, at a minimum, measure and document the chlorine residual.

7 Collect and analyze if using municipal water system as the source, where chlorine residual is expected.

8 AWT samples are collected using the appropriate deployment field water sample kit, untreated or treated, available from APHC and submitted to a fixed facility laboratory for analysis. Both treated and untreated water annually.

9 See Chemical Agent Testing Frequencies, Table 2-21. Chemical Agent Testing Frequencies based on Threat and MOPP.

-Total Chlorine and pH needs to be checked daily to ensure that the tank is holding a chlorine residual, to ensure that no bacteria is growing

-A Bac-t test needs to be conducted after all buffalos are sanitized, filled and ready for operational use.
