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.

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”.

Requests shall be submitted two weeks in advance before the date and time of access. Access shall be utilized for active functions with vehicles not left unattended. Vehicles parked or left unattended are not engaged in direct performance of the contract and are subject to ticketing by VAPD.restricted to picking up and dropping off materials and supplies.

2. A number of permits corresponding to the General Contractor oversight individuals (Superintendent, Alternate Superintendent, SSHO, QC Manager) shall be issued to the General Contractor for parking in designated areas for the duration of active construction activities. Permits for subcontractors will be allocated to the general contractor based on requests corresponding to the near-term schedule average number of workers on site. Designated parking available to Contractors is located at USS San Francisco Memorial

Parking Lot on El Camino del Mar. This is approximately 200 due west of the property. It is serviced by a shuttle supporting normal business hours which is available to contractors provided they have an appropriate badge.

1.6 OPERATIONS AND STORAGE AREAS (FAR 52.236-10)

A. The Contractor shall confine all operations (including storage of materials) on Government premises authorized areas as depicted in the plans, including area of work and material storage areas. In the event that such space is unsuitable, the contractor is to utilize the RFI process to request alternatives that are roughly equivalent or less than what is allocated in the plan set. Authorized areas do not address parking space (1.5(F)) or job trailers (1.6(B)) which are addressed separately and are only to be utilized for those functions with written approval from the COR. The government will not authorize additional space after award without consideration as limited space is a factor in the competitive bidding process.
