A copy of the Army Directive can be found at http://www.apd.army.mil/pdffiles/ad2014_23.pdf. The background check requirements for Contractors can be found in Enclosure 3 – Screening and background checks for appropriated and non-appropriated fund personnel, military personnel, foreign national employees overseas, and contractors.

2. Background checks will be initiated and paid for by the Government. The cost for the pre- employment screening is the responsibility of the Contractor. The Commander Designated Entity (CDE) at the Installation supports IMCOM by coordinating, submitting, tracking child related background checks, and reviewing and compiling the results to identify whether they contain derogatory information to be passed on for a suitability determination. The CDE will advise and assist CONTRACTOR and sub- CONTRACTOR employees completing all required documents required for the background check process. CDE contact information will be provided upon contract award. This is included in the firm fixed price.

3. Additional information on the background check process can be found at:

4. Re-verification (IRC and FBI fingerprint check) is required every 5 years.

CONTAINER STANDOFF AND SEPARATION

DISTANCES (From B-1 of UFC 4-010-01)

B-1.1 Standard 1. Standoff Distances.

The standoff distances apply to all new and existing (when triggered) DoD buildings required to comply with these standards. They address standoff distances to controlled perimeters, parking areas, roadways, and trash containers. The standoff distances are presented in Tables B-1 and B- 2 and illustrated in Figures B-1 and B-2 for new buildings and Figures B-3 and B- 4 for existing buildings.

B-1.1.14 Location of Trash Containers.

For buildings that are required to comply with these standards, provide standoff distances from the nearest points of trash containers or trash container enclosures to the closest points on the building exteriors or inhabited portions of the buildings or to specific building components in accordance with the conventional construction standoff distance from trash containers in Tables B-1 and B-2. Where the applicable conventional construction standoff distance is not available, analyze the building and apply building hardening as necessary to mitigate the effects of the explosives indicated for trash containers in Table B-1 at the achievable standoff distance to the appropriate level of protection.

Alternatively, harden trash enclosures to mitigate the direct blast effects and secondary fragment effects of the explosive on the building if the applicable level of protection can be proven by analysis or testing. As an additional alternative, if trash containers or enclosures are secured to preclude introduction of objects 6-inches (150 mm) or greater in height or width into them by unauthorized personnel, they may be located closer to the building as long as they do not violate the unobstructed space provisions of Standard 2. Openings in screening materials and gaps between the ground and screens or walls making up an enclosure must not be greater than 6 inches (150 mm).

B-1.2.3 Equipment and Trash Container Enclosures.

If walls or other screening devices with more than two sides are placed around trash containers that have been secured, hardened, or located in accordance with the paragraph above, entitled, “Location of Trash Containers” or around electrical, mechanical, or other equipment within the unobstructed space, enclose the trash containers or equipment on all four sides and the top. Openings in screening materials and gaps between the ground and screens or walls making up an enclosure will not be greater than 6 inches (150 mm). Secure any surfaces of the enclosures that can be opened so that unauthorized personnel cannot gain access through them. Where opaque top enclosures are provided, they will have a pitch of at least 1 vertical to 2 horizontal to increase visibility of objects thrown onto them and to increase the likelihood that the objects will slide off. Alternatively, if the vertical surfaces of the enclosures are transparent and at least 7 feet (2.1 meters) high, a top enclosure is not required.

1. See Table B-2 below for standoff distances.

2. For new construction, standoff distances less than those in this column are not allowed for new buildings regardless of analysis or hardening. For existing buildings that are constructed / retrofitted to provide the required level of protection, standoffs less than those in this column are allowed, but discouraged.

3. See UFC 4-010-02, for the specific explosive weights (pounds / kg of TNT) associated with explosive weights I and II. UFC 4-010-02 is For Official Use Only (FOUO).

DISTANCES (From D-2 of UFC 4-010-01)

D-2.1.2.2 Fabric Covered and other Expeditionary Structures.

Measure the standoff distance from the closest point on the structure exterior to the closest edge of parking areas and roadways. The minimum standoff for all expeditionary structures regardless of hardening or analysis is 33 feet (10 meters).

D-2.1.3 Trash Containers.

Measure the standoff distance from the nearest point of the trash container or trash container enclosure to the closest point on the structure exterior. Where the applicable standoff distances in Table D-1are not available, hardening of trash enclosures to mitigate the direct blast effects and secondary fragment effects of the explosives on the structure is acceptable, if the applicable level of protection can be proven by analysis or testing. If trash enclosures are secured to preclude introduction of objects into the enclosures by unauthorized personnel, they may be located closer to the structures as long as they do not violate the unobstructed space provisions of Standard 3 below.
