1.4 SPECIFICATIONS AND DRAWINGS FOR CONTRACTOR

A. Drawings and contract documents may be obtained from the website where the solicitation is posted. Additional copies will be at

Contractor's expense.

1.5 CONSTRUCTION SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

A. Security Plan:

1. The security plan defines both physical and administrative security procedures that will remain effective for the entire duration of the project.

2. The General Contractor is responsible for assuring that all sub-contractors working on the project and their employees also comply with these regulations.

B. Security Procedures:

1. General Contractor’s employees shall not enter the project site without appropriate badge. They may also be subject to inspection of their personal effects when entering or leaving the project site.

a. Flash badges are the least restrictive and require a valid

ID to obtain. Flash badge request take approximately three

01 00 00 ‐4 days to process. This badging requirement is the minimum for all employees working at the VA. This badge grants the contractor common physical access. Generally, for contractors working outside of the hospital. Flash badges are good for six months.

b. Non-PIV Card requires two forms of ID and a special agreement check (SAC) background check which includes fingerprints. This takes approximately two weeks to process. This badge grants the contractor restricted physical access. This badge is for contractors working inside of the hospital. Non-PIV is good for one year.

c. PIV card requires NACI and SAC background investigation, fingerprints and training and two forms of ID. This takes approximately 30 days to process. This badge grants the contractor restricted physical access and allows access to more sensitive areas. This will allow access to secure areas such as IT closets. Only a limited number of these badges will be granted, and these will generally be reserved for supervisors only. PIV is good for one year.

2. Before starting work the General Contractor shall give one week’s notice to the Contracting Officer so that security arrangements can be provided for the employees. This notice is separate from any notices required for utility shutdown described later in this section.

3. No photography of VA premises is allowed without written permission of the Contracting Officer. Patients and staff are not to be photographed at any time.

4. VA reserves the right to close down or shut down the project site and order General Contractor’s employees off the premises in the event of a national emergency. The General Contractor may return to the site only with the written approval of the

Contracting Officer.

C. Guards:(NOT USED)

01 00 00 ‐5

D. Key Control:

1. The General Contractor shall provide duplicate keys and lock combinations to the Contracting officers representative (COR) for the purpose of security inspections of every area of project including tool boxes and parked machines and take any emergency action.

2. The General Contractor shall turn over all permanent lock cylinders to the VA locksmith for permanent installation. See

Section 08 71 00, DOOR HARDWARE and coordinate.

3. The construction entrance gate into the facility along

Wellesley uses a Best blue core padlock. This gate is manually operated and must be secured every evening. Use of this gate may be revoked if the contractor cannot manage the security of it.

4. Construction areas will use a Best blue core lock wherever possible. Best blue keys can be purchased locally at AM

Hardware and will not be provided by the VA.

5. If keys are required for spaces with existing locks the contractor will be required to check a key out from the VA’s locksmith during normal operating hours. Any personnel in possession of a VA key will require a contractor PIV card as described in paragraph 1.5.B.1.c. If VA keys are lost or stolen the contractor will be held liable for rekeying any locks that were associated with any keys issued to them. The cost for rekeyingthese locks could be substantial.

E. Document Control:

1. Before starting any work, the General Contractor/Sub

Contractors shall submit an electronic security memorandum describing the approach to following goals and maintaining confidentiality of “sensitive information”.

2. The General Contractor is responsible for safekeeping of all drawings, project manual and other project information. This information shall be shared only with those with a specific need to accomplish the project.

01 00 00 ‐6

3. Certain documents, sketches, videos or photographs and drawings may be marked “Law Enforcement Sensitive” or

“Sensitive Unclassified”. Secure such information in separate containers and limit the access to only those who will need it for the project. Return the information to the Contracting

Officer upon request.

4. These security documents shall not be removed or transmitted from the project site without the written approval of

Contracting Officer.

5. All paper waste or electronic media such as CD’s and diskettes shall be shredded and destroyed in a manner acceptable to the

VA.

6. Notify Contracting Officer and Site Security Officer immediately when there is a loss or compromise of “sensitive information”.
