(MAR 2022)

(a) Definitions.

"Cultural items" as defined by Native American Graves Protection and Repatriation Act (NAGPRA) include Native American human remains, funerary objects, sacred objects, and objects of cultural patrimony.

"Cultural resources" is a broad term that includes prehistoric, historic, architectural, and traditional cultural properties; specific items include, but are not limited to, human skeletal remains, archaeological artifacts, records, and material remains related to such properties.

"Funerary objects" means Native American items that, as part of the death rite or ceremony of a culture, are reasonably believed to have been placed intentionally at the time of death or later with or near individual human remains.

"Human remains" means the physical remains of the body of a person.

"Native American" means of, or relating to, a tribe, people, or culture that is indigenous to the United States.

"Sacred objects" means Native American items that are specific ceremonial objects needed by traditional Native American religious leaders for the practice of traditional Native American religions by their present-day adherents. These items are specifically limited to objects that were devoted to a traditional Native American religious ceremony or ritual and which have religious significance or function in the continued observance or renewal of such ceremony.

"Objects of cultural patrimony" means Native American items having ongoing historical, traditional, or cultural importance central to the Native American tribe or Native Hawaiian organization itself, rather than property owned by an individual tribal or organization member. These objects are of such central importance that they may not be alienated, appropriated, or conveyed by any individual tribal or organization member.

(b) General. Federal legislation provides for the protection and preservation of cultural resources that may be impacted or altered as a result of any Federal project, activity, or program or federally licensed or assisted project, activity, or program.

(c) Discovery of Resources. Should the Contractor, or any of the Contractor's employees, subcontractors, or parties operating or associated with the Contractor, in the performance of this contract discover evidence of possible cultural resources, the Contractor shall immediately cease work at that location and provide oral notification to the contracting officer, giving location and nature of the findings. The Contractor shall forward a written report of findings to the Contracting Officer within 48 hours.

(i) If a cultural resource is determined by Reclamation to be a Native American cultural item, then the Contractor shall cease the activity in the area of the discovery, make a reasonable effort to protect the items discovered, and wait for written approval from the Contracting Officer before resuming activity.

(ii) If the discovery occurs on tribal lands, the Contractor shall immediately orally notify the responsible tribal official and the Contracting Officer and follow with written confirmation within 48 hours to the responsible tribal official and the contracting officer. (The contracting officer will supply the name and phone number of the tribal official.

(iii) The Contractor shall exercise care so as not to disturb or damage any cultural resources discovered during the execution of this contract and shall provide such cooperation and assistance as may be necessary to preserve the findings for removal or other disposition by Reclamation. The Contractor shall not resume work in the area of a discovery until written notice to proceed is received from the contracting officer.

(d) Approval of Use Areas and Borrow Sources. If the Contractor proposes to use a location other than an approved location (approved locations to be provided by the contracting officer), the location(s) must first be approved for use by the contracting officer. When considering an unapproved use area or borrow source, the Contractor shall submit a map showing the location to the contracting officer at least 45 calendar days in advance of any proposed use. The Contractor or his subcontractors shall take no action to use or alter the proposed location until written approval is provided by the contracting officer.

(e) Compensation for Delays. Where appropriate by reason of discovery, the contracting officer may order changes in the schedule or work. If such delays or changes are ordered, any equitable adjustment under the contract will be provided in accordance with the applicable clauses of the contract.

(f) Subcontractors. The Contractor shall insert this clause in all subcontracts that involve performance of work on job site terrain.

(g) Cost. Except as provided in subsection (e) above, the cost of complying with this contract clause shall be included in the prices offered in the schedule for other items of work.

(h) Government Access. The Contractor's arrangement with landowners shall permit the Government or its representatives access to the land to identify cultural resources and conduct appropriate inspections during the Contractor's use of the area or during material procurement.

(3) The Contractor's employees governed by this contract may need access to sensitive information and/or sensitive areas. The Federal Government (Government) reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine suitability of Contractor personnel and deny access to any sensitive information or project specific area to any personnel for any cause.

Contractor employees are responsible for the safekeeping of all Government-issued identification cards, whether on-site or off-site. Cards that have been lost, damaged, or stolen must be reported to the COR within 24 hours. The Contractor shall return all identification cards and card keys and any other Government property and information upon completion of performance or when personnel depart permanently or for a period of 7 days or more. The Contractor may be required to turn in access control cards or identification cards on a daily basis.

(8) Misuse or loss of access control or identification cards, or failure to comply with required surrender of such cards may, at Government discretion, result in Contractor personnel being denied access to the work site, at no cost to Government. The Contractor may be charged up to $500 for each occurrence for any required replacement of Government-issued access control or identification cards due to loss or misuse. At the end of contract performance, or when a Contractor employee is no longer working under this contract, the Contractor shall ensure that all access control and identification cards are returned to the COR.

(9) All Contractor personnel, including subcontractor personnel, with access to the work site shall be U.S.

citizens or foreign individuals legally residing in, or legally admitted to, the U.S. For all non-U.S. citizens working under this contract, the Contractor shall provide to the COR, legible and valid copies of the individual's passport and visa (unless individual is on the Visa Waiver Program) a minimum of 14 calendar days prior to beginning work or arriving at the facility. A driver's license is not acceptable identification. In addition, a completed form I-94 shall be submitted to the COR upon the individual's arrival at the work facility and prior to beginning work.

(10) The Contractor shall report all contacts with entities, individuals, and counsel/representatives (including foreign entities and foreign nationals) who seek in any way to obtain unauthorized access to sensitive information or areas. The Contractor shall report any violations of contract provisions, laws, executive orders, regulations, and guidance to the contracting officer. The Contractor shall report any information raising a doubt as to whether an individual's eligibility for continued employment or access to sensitive information is consistent with the interests of National Security and the Public Trust.

(11) Unsanctioned, negligent, or willful inappropriate action on the part of the Contractor (or its employees) may result in termination of the contract or removal of some Contractor employees from Reclamation facilities at no cost to the Government. These actions include, but are not limited to, exploration of a sensitive system and/or information, introduction of unauthorized and/or malicious software, or failure to follow prescribed access control policies and/or security procedures. Failure to comply with Reclamation policies, procedures, or other published security requirements may result in termination of the contract or removal of some contracted employees from Reclamation buildings and/or facilities at no cost to the Government.

(12) All provisions of this clause shall equally apply to all subcontractors. The Contractor shall incorporate the substance of this clause in all subcontracts.

(13) These security requirements apply to all sections of this Contract including Contract Drawings and other Contract Specifications as applicable. Related documents include other general provisions of Construction or Operations and Maintenance type Contracts, including FAR clauses by reference or as amended by related documents.

(b) Information Security Requirements.

(1) Sensitive Information. The term "sensitive information" means any information which warrants a degree of protection and administrative control as defined by Reclamation or that meets the criteria for exemption from public disclosure set forth under Sections 552 and 552a of Title 5, United States Code: the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act. Sensitive information is generally categorized as FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO) information or CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION (CUI), but in some cases may include other unclassified information. (The protection of National Security information is beyond the scope of this clause. If any work on National Security information is required under this contract, it is addressed under other contract clauses.) The Contractor shall protect this type of information from unauthorized release into public domain, or to unauthorized persons, organizations, or subcontractors. Information which, either alone or in aggregate, is deemed sensitive by Reclamation shall be handled and protected in accordance with Reclamation directives and standards for identifying and safeguarding sensitive information (SLE 02-01), which is available from the COR or at http://www.usbr.gov/recman/DandS.html#sle.

(i) Any Government-furnished information or material does not become the property of the Contractor and may be withdrawn at any time. Upon expiration or termination of the contract, all documents released to the Contractor and any material created using data from such documents shall be returned to the COR for final disposition. Government-furnished information residing on any electronic systems (laptops, servers, desktops, media) shall be deleted from those systems using a COR-approved data erasure solution. Only with prior authorization from the contracting officer may the Contractor retain the material. The Contractor or subcontractor shall not disclose or release the materials provided to the Contractor to any individuals of the Contractor's organization not directly engaged in providing services under the contract or that do not have a valid need-to-know. All technical data provided to the Contractor by the Government shall be protected from public or private disclosure in accordance with the markings printed on them. All other information relating to the items to be delivered or the services to be performed under this contract shall not be disclosed by any means without prior approval of the contracting officer. Prohibited dissemination or disclosure includes, but is not limited to:

permitting access to such information by foreign nationals or by immigrant aliens who may be employed by the Contractor, publication of technical or scientific papers, advertising, disclosure to Contractor staff not investigated and deemed acceptable at the appropriate information sensitivity level, and any other public release. The

Contractor shall maintain, and furnish upon request of the contracting officer, records of the names of individuals who have access to sensitive material in its custody. All questions regarding information security, access, and control shall be referred to the COR.

(ii) The Contractor shall not release to anyone outside the Contractor's organization any sensitive, or otherwise protected information, regardless of medium in which it is contained (for example, film, tape, document, electronic), pertaining to any part of this contract or any Reclamation program or activity, unless the contracting officer has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, news releases, marketing promotions, articles, interviews, reports, and any other media releases. Requests for approval shall identify the specific information to be released, the medium to be used, the purpose for the release, and a description of the need-to-know. The Contractor shall submit its request to the contracting officer ten business days before the proposed date for release. Subcontractors shall submit requests for authorization to release through the prime Contractor to the contracting officer.

(iii) The Contractor shall notify the COR immediately when known or suspected loss/compromise of sensitive information or other documents, notes, drawings, sketches, reports, photographs, exposed film or similar information which may affect the security interests of Government has occurred. This requirement extends to employees and other personnel working on behalf of the Contractor and expands responsibility to include prompt reporting of security issues, including observed or subsequently discovered efforts by unauthorized persons to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.

(2) Classified Information.

(i) The disclosure of U.S. Government documents by third parties can result in damage to our national security. While this contract may not deal directly with classified information, each contractor is obligated to protect classified information pursuant to all applicable laws and to use Government information technology systems in accordance with agency procedures so that the integrity of such systems is not compromised.

(ii) Unauthorized disclosures of classified documents (whether in print, on a blog, or on websites, or other electronic or non-electronic media) do not alter the documents' classified status or automatically result in declassification of the documents. To the contrary, classified information, whether or not already posted on public websites or disclosed to the media, remains classified, and must be treated as such by Federal employees and contractors, until it is declassified by an appropriate U.S. Government authority. Executive Order 13526, Classified National Security Information (December 29, 2009), Section 1.1.(c) states, "Classified Information shall not be declassified automatically as a result of any unauthorized disclosure of identical or similar information." Although the Department has taken steps to secure access to publicly published classified materials from Departmental computers, it is important to understand our continuing duties and responsibilities in this regard.

(iii) Contractors (which include all employees of the contractor, as well as subcontractors and its employees performing work for the contractor) are reminded of the following obligations with respect to the treatment of classified information and the use of non-classified government information technology systems:

(iv) Except as authorized by agency procedures, the contractor shall not, while using Government issued computers or other devices (such as Blackberries or Smart Phones) access the web on non-classified Government systems, or access documents that are marked classified (including classified documents made publicly available by a third party), as doing so risks that material still classified will be placed onto non-classified systems. This requirement applies to access that occurs either through agency or contractor computers, or through employee or contractor personally owned computers that access non-classified Government systems. This requirement does not restrict contractor access to non-classified, publicly available news reports (and other non-classified material) that may in turn discuss classified material, as distinguished from access to underlying documents that themselves are marked classified (including if the underlying classified documents are available on public Web sites or otherwise in the public domain).

(v) Contractors are reminded that only Department of Defense (DoD) facility clearances and personnel with appropriate security clearances will be issued for any bureau or office entering into a contract where classified information may be obtained. Only those personnel granted a security clearance by DoD will be acceptable to the Department of the Interior for access to classified information. Consequently, any classified contracts will be coordinated through the Reclamation Chief Security Officer, or for IT requirements, the Bureau

Chief Information Security Officer (BCISO). Therefore, no contractor shall access classified information unless proper clearances have been obtained.

(vi) Classified information shall not be removed from official premises or disclosed without proper authorization.

(vii) Contractors who believe they may have inadvertently accessed or downloaded classified or sensitive information on computers that access the web via non-classified government systems, or without prior authorization, should contact their Contracting Officer immediately.

(e) Site Security Requirements

(1) General Description. This section provides provisions to ensure the full security integrity of the facility and personnel working at the facility. The work of this section may involve interfaces with a number of Government security personnel, normally coordinated through the designated COR. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that activities are accomplished in a manner that complies fully with applicable security statutes, regulations, policies, directives, and standards.

(2) Government Security Personnel. When and where applicable, personnel may be assigned to control access, secure materials or activities at the work site, or escort Contractor personnel in sensitive areas. Personnel may include security managers, security guards, security contractors acting as agents of the Government, law enforcement personnel, or other contractors or employees. These individuals may be used to ensure the overall security and integrity of the site or building and provide controlled access. These individuals may conduct inspections of all workers, vehicles, equipment, or materials entering, or re-entering the work site. The inspection may be done visually, with walk-through and/or hand-held metal detectors, or by other means as may be deemed necessary by Reclamation.

(3) Contractor Guard Force. At the Contractor’s sole discretion, and at the Contractor’s own expense, with prior written Government approval, a Contractor may be authorized to hire its own guards to secure Contractor-owned equipment and/or to protect Contractor employees or subcontractors. If such a relationship is permitted, the Contractor shall be exclusively liable for all guard activities to include action or inaction of Contractor’s guard personnel. The Government will not offer nor provide any indemnification. Contractor shall be solely responsible for guards at all times to include any supervision, oversight, and for the development of local guard orders and/or procedures. The Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating all guard activities with the COR and shall develop and submit to the COR, for advance approval, any guard orders and/or guard procedures.
