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.

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)
