Should the contractor not process through Tye Gate in that 48-hour period, the contractor will require someone to physically vouch them on base to get a one day pass at the VCC so they may proceed to the Pass and Registration office for their badge. The hold period for these forms at the gate can and will be extended should rain days occur or through prior coordination with any affected agency.
