Also, Contractor shall provide Bioenvironmental Engineering (7 OMRS/SGXB) a copy of Contractor’s radioactive materials permit and training certificates, if radioactive material will be brought onto Dyess AFB.

8. Security Requirements.

8.1. Levels of Security. 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.

8.1.1. 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.

8.1.2. “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.

8.1.3. 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.

8.2. Closed Base. Dyess AFB is considered a closed base. All personnel entering must have specific permission of the installation commander for entry. The Contracting Officer will provide information necessary to obtain identification badges. Upon completion of the work or termination of an employee, the Contractor shall be responsible for the turn in of identification badges 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.

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

8.2.1.1.1. 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. The VCC will verify the identity of all individuals on the form by checking the information against a valid State/Federal Identification card. The VCC 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 VCC 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.

8.2.1.1.2. 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.

9. EAL Submission Process. In the event the Contractor requires an Entry Authorization Letter, the contractor shall request the appropriate form from the Contracting Office and return the form no later than seven (7) business days prior to the start of work.

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

11. Other Vehicle and Licensing Requirements:

11.1. 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.

11.2. 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.

11.3. Any Contractor employee who will be operating heavy equipment or specialized equipment that requires a license or certification shall be so licensed and/or certified with proof presented to the contracting officer prior to work start.
