7232/ARMORY AT DYESS AFB, TEXAS

1. Description of Work. The contractor shall provide all necessary labor, personnel, supervision, management, tools, equipment, transportation, materials and any other items necessary for the installation of a Honeywell (Vindicator) alarm system at 7 SFS Building 7232 Armory located on Dyess AFB, TX in accordance with this statement of work, any attached appendices, manufacturer standards, applicable US laws, commercial standards and business practices.

1.1. Installation. This document will define the general requirements for the installation of an Electronic Security System that will provide both an Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and an integrated Access Control System (ACS). The requirement is for the room to have the necessary alarm components to maintain accreditation as an arms, ammunitions and explosives (AA&E) storage facility (secure building). Maintaining this accreditation will require the installers to install the parts and systems made and supported by the Honeywell Vindicator product line. All parts and installation work performed must meet applicable security regulatory guidance to include the most current versions of, Department of the Air Force Instruction GENADMIN (DAFI) 31-101_DAFM2022-01, DoDM 5100.76 AFMAN 31-101 Volume 2, DAFI 31-118 and related standards. This scope of work requires activities to include: site survey, logistics, parts purchasing, programming, installation and test. This project requires the installation of software and hardware for multiple components and peripherals to ensure entire Electronic Security System (ESS) meets minimum standards (DAFMAN 31-101 Volume 2) with backup battery source of a minimum of 8 hours of power. A Honeywell certified technician must be present during installation and testing of phases 1-2. If a false or nuisance alarm is received during phase 2 they must be made available to troubleshoot and correct the issue to ensure phase 2 testing is accomplished accordingly prior to government acceptance. Project could be viewed in phases as outlined below.

a. Phase 1: Installation:

o Install IT cabinets of appropriate size for the facility. The cabinet must account for limited space within involved rooms and should not be overly obstructive. The cabinets will house the Vindicator equipment, network switch and Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) devices.

o Installing the access control badging equipment in and around the rack.

o Installing a dedicated power circuit to serve the IT equipment cabinets.

o Installing a fiber optic patch cable to link the IT equipment cabinet with the existing fiber optic network patch panel. Contractor will work closely with the base Communications Squadron on locating and identifying the available fiber pair and location. Two strands of single mode fiber are required.

o Installing IDS devices in the actual space which includes a Balance Magnetic Switch (BMS) for the main door, motion sensors for the spaces, an IDS keypad and pin pad reader for securing and accessing the IDS.

o Installing card readers with pin pad on the non-secure side of the main door and a card reader without pin pad on the secure side of the door. Install and connect electronic locks to the Vindicator access control system.

o Program and configure Vindicator system both locally and at Base Defense Operations Center (BDOC).

o Ensuring that all installation work is in accordance with DAFI 31- 101_DAFGM2022-01, DoDM 5100.76 DAFMAN 31-101 Volume 2. This includes conduit, wiring and tampering work.

Installing ACS to include:

Card reader with pin pad for non-secure side, card reader without pin pad on the secure side of the door for exit, BMS, 16x16 enclosure above the door which is the door controller, dedicated AC power to the enclosure and communication wiring to the Vindicator panel in main entrance.

Install and connect electronic locks/door striker to the Vindicator system.

o Program, ensure connectivity with and configure the alarm system both locally and at BDOC o Ensuring that all installation work is in accordance with most recent versions of DAFI 31-101_DAFGM2022-01, DoDM 5100.76 AFMAN 31-101 Volume 2.

This includes conduit, wiring and tampering work.

o Fiber connectivity with the BDOC is limited. For this reason, the contract should account for a minimum fiber optic line requirement to link with BDOC (2 strands).

b. Phase 2: Training & Maintenance o Training – Provide end user training to SFS personnel who will operate the

Vindicator system at building 7232. Each training session, if multiple sessions (no more than two) are required, should not take longer than four hours. Contractor will coordinate closely with the Government on scheduling for various shifts, etc.

Total personnel to be trained will be less than 10 and are generally all on multiple shifts. Contractor will notify 5 days in advance to respective personnel of the facility be made available to ensure they receive training for this system.

Training – Ensure users are trained in how to secure/disarm the system, create/add/remove badges, troubleshoot and manage IDS and ACS systems respectively.

o Maintenance: maintenance of system should be accounted for prior to installation.

The government cannot accept the use of a company owned laptop to update the system over the long term. This should be accounted when considering what will be required for system software updates and information transfer.

c. Phase 3: Testing o Perform phase 1, 2 and 3 testing as prescribed in DAFI 31-101_DAFGM2022-01.

Contractor will coordinate closely with the Government on scheduling and testing. Contractor will obtain project completion signoff from the 7 SFS CC at the end of the successful test. Phase 3 will consist of a 30-day continuous test to assess how well the system performs in its normal operating mode on a permanent basis. This will immediately start after phase 2 (72-hour burn-in). 7 SFS must be able to actively see the current alarm state and not experience any down time etc.

The total time for the testing phases is a minimum of 33 days if there is no failures and therefore no reason to restart the testing phases.

d. Infrastructure & Tools o The contractor shall furnish and install all necessary infrastructure and incidentals required within the facility to support installation, testing and operation including, but not limited to, cabling (with the exception of the single-mode fiber connection running from 7232 to the Base Defense Operations Center (BDOC), tools, conduits, wiring, interior junction boxes, grounding, shielding, foundations and supports, mounting brackets, environmental protection barriers, lockable, security bolts or screws, tamper resistant screws, hardware, software and any other equipment, parts, and items required to complete the installation and turnover to the user.

The Contractor shall be responsible for scheduling access/escorts/badges by contacting the facility manager/requester at the Entry Control Point of the restricted/controlled area.

7.1 Restricted/Controlled Areas. Contractor performance within restricted/controlled areas shall require Contractor compliance with various levels of security and established personnel security entry control procedures. The Contractor shall ensure all contractor employees performing services in secured areas are processed for a controlled area, limited access, or visitor badge by the Entry Controller of the restricted/controlled area. Dyess AFB security may be viewed as being one of three broad levels, the level in effect being dependent on the location or AREA of Dyess AFB in question.

The lowest level of security exists in “GENERAL ACCESS” areas. These areas are all Dyess AFB outside of the "USAF Controlled" and "USAF Restricted" areas.

“USAF Controlled” access areas are the mid-level security areas. Presence within the CONTROLLED ACCESS AREA is by authorization; however, the movement of authorized personnel in and out of these AREAS is generally not impeded.

The highest level of security on Dyess AFB is that within the “USAF RESTRICTED AREAS”.

These areas are subdivided to be known as Protection Level 1, 2 or 3 AREAS. Work schedule requests or changes to existing schedules for work to be performed in a “USAF RESTRICTED AREA” shall be submitted at least 7 calendar days in advance for approval and coordination of Dyess AFB Security Forces.

7.1.1. Any electronics necessary for the installation must be announced, inspected and approved by the government before entry is allowed.

7.1.2. The contractor shall implement a security program that safeguards program information IAW contractor’s approved internal security processes. The security program shall be consistent with the DoD 5220.22M and DoDM 5100.76.

8. Installation Access. Dyess AFB is considered a closed base. All personnel entering must have specific permission of the installation commander for entry. This permission is granted when a contractor employee is issued an identification card. The Contractor shall coordinate with the 7 CS Plans and Programs office to ensure compliance with security requirements, and with the base security section for installation access. The Contractor shall contact the Government POC seven (7) business days before arriving on Dyess AFB to make arrangements for Visitors Passes. The contractor shall be responsible to ensure that all of its employees obtain and keep on their person at all times while working on the base, a USAF identification card.

Upon completion of the work or termination of an employee, the contractor shall be responsible for turn in of identification cards to the Contracting Officer or to the Pass and Registration Office of the Security Forces.

NOTE: Failure to turn in badges will result in WITHHOLDING OF FINAL PAYMENT and revocation of any future badges issued by Pass and Registration Office to the employee and the contractor.

8.1. Dyess Form 173. The Dyess AFB Form 173 is subject to the privacy act of 1974, Authority: 10 U.S.C. 8012 and 5 U.S.C. 552a (b) (7). Disclosure is Mandatory: Failure to provide the information and Social Security Number (SSN) could result in denied access to the Dyess AFB installation.

8.1.1. Effective 1 Nov 04, a completed signed original Dyess Form 173 (Mar 04) must be delivered to Pass & ID by 0900 on the duty day prior to the desired day of entry onto Dyess AFB. The Visitor Control Center no longer issues temporary passes to contractor personnel unless they have already been previously identified on an executed Dyess Form 173. All information on the Dyess Form 173 must be typed and the authorizing signature must be in blue or black ink. Personal information provided on the Dyess Form 173 will be cross-referenced against state and federal criminal databases to identify those individuals possessing outstanding warrants. Those individuals with outstanding warrants will be detained at the Visitor Control Center on the desired day of entry and turned over to Abilene Police Department.

8.1.2. The approving authority (individual on the 577) can make “ink changes” in red ink to correct any errors noted on the form. All changes must be initialed by the approval authority.

8.1.3. All individuals with Dyess Form 173’s will still continue to be processed via the Texas Law Enforcement Terminal System (TLETS—police wants/warrants check). Once it is determined the individual is cleared from any wants or warrants, a copy of the Dyess Form 173 will be placed at the Tye Gate entry point. The Tye Gate Guard will use this form as an Entry Authority List (EAL) allowing contractors onto the installation. The contractor will then be able to go to the Gate directly (not the Visitor Control Center (VCC) or Arnold Gate) and verify if their Dyess Form 173 is there. Should their Dyess Form 173 not be there, they will be directed to the VCC for issuance of an AF Form 75. At this time, someone will physically have to meet them to sponsor them onto the installation. (Reasons why the form would not be at the guard shack would be erroneous driver’s license number, erroneous information, warrant, or identified as illegal alien).

8.1.4 Should their Dyess Form 173 be at the Tye Gate entry point, the contractor will be told to proceed directly to the Pass and Registration Section for the 7 SFS Contractor Badge issue. The Pass Section will have the original Dyess Form 173. Once a badge is obtained, they need only show the badge at the installation gate for entry onto the installation. Please note that neither the Security Forces Control Center nor the Tye Gate Guards will check the Dyess Form 173 for errors. This is the responsibility of the Pass and Registration Section.

8.1.5. The Dyess Form 173 will be maintained at the Tye Gate entry point for 48 hours (two business days). After the specified time has expired, it will be destroyed. 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.

8.2 Trusted Agent Letter for Day Labor Requests. The purpose of this letter is to provide sponsoring authority to specific contractor individuals as identified by their sponsoring agency (7 CONS, Army Corp of Engineers, etc.) to sponsor day laborers on for one day periods.

8.2.1. The sponsoring agency, in coordination with their contractor, will identify contractor individuals that require sponsoring/vouching authority. This authority is given to the contractor for the purpose of sponsoring day laborers/job site personnel sub-contracted because of an unexpected or new requirement not previously identified in the current contract. This authority will not be given to contractors for convenience only but should be limited to the smallest group of manager or foreman contractor personnel needed to complete their assigned contract. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring agency to ensure the Trusted Agent Letter remains current.

Additionally, all reasonable actions should occur to prevent use of this process when a known laborer/sub-contractor was required well in advance of the day labor/sub-contractor request.

(Effective Date: Immediately)

8.2.2. The sponsoring agency will provide this letter to the Pass and Registration Section who will maintain it on file. The Pass and Registration section shall post a copy of the letter at the VCC, as a reference, to verify which contractor personnel have sponsoring/vouching authority.

8.2.3. The Process to get Day Labors/Job Site Personnel Sub-Contracted onto the Installation:

The contractor individuals identified in the Trusted Agent Letter will provide a typed or hand-written form (form will be provided by the 7 SFS) with all individuals they will sponsor onto the installation to the VCC Guard. The VCC Guard will verify the identity of all individuals on the form by checking the information against a valid State/Federal Identification card. The VCC Guard will randomly check a percentage of the individuals via the TLETS. Should any individual not possess a valid identification card, they will be turned away at the VCC and entry to the installation denied. Pen and ink changes can be made to the form, but all information must be validated by the guard before the contractor will be allowed to proceed onto the installation with the sponsored individuals. No AF Form 75/Visitor Pass will be issued to any individual who is sponsored by the Trusted Agent Contractor, unless the sponsored individual will be driving a vehicle onto the installation. Trusted Agent Contractors are encouraged to consolidate all sponsored individuals into the smallest number of vehicles as possible to avoid the issuance of multiple AF Forms 75. Should an AF Form 75 be issued, the driver will be required to produce a valid driver’s license, current insurance card, and current registration for the vehicle being operated. Once on the installation, the Trusted Agent Contractor will be responsible for the actions of the sponsored individuals. Should an incident occur with a sponsored guest, and negligence be proven on the part of the Trusted Agent Contractor, their vouching/sponsoring authority will be revoked. The Trusted Agent Letter can be adjusted to add and delete names of Trusted Agent Contractors as needed, as long as the provisions of this paragraph are followed.

Although the 7 SFS form is used in lieu of the AF Form 75, it carries the same authority and responsibilities. Additionally, the 7 SFS Form will expire at 0001 daily or at the end of the contractor duty day, whichever occurs first. At no time will the Trusted Agent Contractor depart the installation and leave any of his/her sponsored individuals with another contractor that does not have the same vouching/sponsoring privileges.

8.2.4. All contractors must attend a contractor briefing given to the contractors by Pass and Registration who will provide a more detailed explanation regarding contractor badges and their uses. Pass and Registration reserves the right to not issue a contractor badge due to erroneous information or failure to disclose information on the Dyess Form 173. Any derogatory information received from the background check will result in the non-issuance of the contractor badge.

8.3 Identification of Contractor Vehicles. Contractor vehicles must be marked on each side with company name with either permanent or semi-permanent/magnetic signage.

8.4. Other Vehicle and Licensing Requirements:

8.4.1. All Contractor employees who will be driving a vehicle on Dyess AFB shall have a current driver’s license with them at all times while on Dyess AFB. Additionally, all contractor employees will refrain from driving and texting on base.

8.4.2. All Contractor vehicles to be operated on Dyess AFB will have a valid state registration, vehicle inspection, and insurance. Proof of registration and vehicle insurance must be physically available at all times while the vehicle is on Dyess AFB.
