3.4.4. In processing. Prior to the commencement of performance under the contract and within seven (7) workdays of contract award, the Contractor shall submit through the COR to the Chief, Security Division, TYAD, a roster of all Contractor personnel, inclusive of on-site supervisory or managerial personnel and sub-contractor personnel, that the Contractor anticipates will be performing work on-site.
3.4.4.1. Roster. The roster shall indicate which individuals are U.S. citizens and which are resident aliens (immigrants). Due to limited availability of Government personnel, Contractors shall not be permitted to employ non-resident/non-immigrant aliens as part of the Contractor’s on-site workforce. The COR will forward an ELTY Form 648-C, “Request for Access to Tobyhanna Army Depot”, to be completed by each contractor employee seeking to gain access. Upon completing the forms, the contractor shall return them to the COR for processing and obtaining access to TYAD.
3.4.4.2 Non Resident/Non Immigrant Personnel. All non-resident/non-immigrant aliens must have approval prior to being permitted access to TYAD. Such approval must be obtained by requesting access through the following: apply at the alien-resident’s embassy; proceed to the U.S. Embassy; proceed to the Department of the Army; proceed to Army Materiel Command; proceed to U.S. Communications-Electronics Command (CECOM); proceed to TYAD. All non-resident/non-immigrant aliens granted access to TYAD or assigned duty location are required to be escorted by Government personnel. One Government escort can accommodate a maximum of two non-resident/non-immigrant aliens. Due to limited availability of Government personnel, visitors requiring escort may not be permitted access, or access may be limited to a certain time and duration. The following documentation shall accompany the roster for each individual named on the roster as a resident alien (immigrant): a) a copy of a verifiable form of identification, such as a driver’s license or a passport; and b) a copy of a valid Department of Justice Immigration and Naturalization Service Form I-551, Alien Registration Receipt Card (“Green Card”). Contractors who fail to identify any and all resident aliens (immigrants) who will be used for onsite performance and who will seek access to TYAD or assigned duty location as a worker for or through the Contractor, inclusive of managerial and subcontractor personnel, may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and sanctions as well as contract remedies.
3.4.4.3. ELTY 648-C Processing. After the ELTY Form 648-C and required documentation have been processed (usually five days), the Government will notify the contractor of the personnel permitted to work on-site. However, actual access to TYAD will remain contingent upon being cleared. Resident alien (immigrant) individuals must present two (2) forms of identification in order to process into the Depot through the Security building: a valid Form I-551, Alien Registration Receipt Card (“Green Card”) in addition to at least one other verifiable form of identification.
3.4.4.4. Planning. It is understood that there is a strong likelihood that personnel changes may be necessitated. As a result, it is recommended that the contractor include access requests for those who may require access as a contingency or “backup” in order to avoid a processing delay and negative impact performance. Security screening shall be completed on all contractor and all subcontractor personnel requesting access TYAD. No contractor personnel will be granted access to the worksite until security screening is completed and access approved. Personnel who the fail the screening will not be permitted further access to TYAD. Badges will not be issued to personnel unless they have been adequately vetted through the security screening process.
3.4.4.5. Accessibility Issues. Contractors whose personnel are denied entry to TYAD or assigned duty location due to the security requirements are not relieved of their obligation to provide the required contract performance and must do so at no additional cost to the Government. Any Contractor failing to perform or that fails to perform in a timely manner under such circumstances may be terminated for default or be subject to other contractual remedies as appropriate.
3.4.4.6 Secure Areas. If work requirements dictate that contractor personnel require access to secured locations/buildings, it is the responsibility of the contractor to coordinate with the POC to obtain the escort(s) required and any associated elevated security clearances.
3.4.4.7. Hours of Operation. All contractor services shall be performed between the hours of 7:00 AM and 4:30 PM Monday through Friday, excluding federal holidays and hard closures. The Tobyhanna Army Depot operates on both an alternate and regular work schedule.

UFC 3-601-02
2-2.8 Fire Pumps.
Technical guidance on these tasks is contained in NFPA 20, Standard for the Installation of Stationary Pumps for Fire Protection, and NFPA 25. When generators are installed specifically to meet fire protection requirements, or generators are used to provide standby power for fire pumps, conduct all the requirements related to the engine drives on the generator engines. These requirements must not supersede requirements for generators serving demands other than fire protection. Generators serving both fire protection and other demands must conform to the most stringent guidance.
WARNING
Fire pump systems with redundant pumps must have all pumps and pump drivers in-service to meet redundancy requirements. Redundant pumps are not spare or stand-by pumps. Redundant pumps ensure the minimum number pumps will start if any minimum required pump fails to start. A redundant pump out-of-service means the pumping capacity is degraded- /impaired and any supported fire protection features downstream are also degraded/impaired. Two or more pumps out-of-service where redundancy means the pumping system is out-of-service as is all the supported fire protection features downstream. (Table 2-7, Tasks - Monthly 6.1)
7 October 2021
Fire pump stations without redundant pumps must have all pumps and pump drivers in-service. A pump or pump driver out-of-service means the pumping capacity is out-of-service and any supported fire protection features downstream is out-of-service. (Table 2-7, Tasks - Monthly 6.1)
