In the performance of work required under this contract, all Design-Build Contractor personnel must present proper identification to gain access to occupied building areas housing federal operations. Design-Build Contractor personnel means Design-Build Contractor employees and subcontractor employees at all tiers.

Design-Build Contractor personnel requiring daily/weekly access to occupied building areas housing federal operations, over a period of 180 days or more, shall undergo the HSPD-12 background investigations conducted by the United States Government, and will be issued Government-wide standard secure and reliable forms of identification issued by the federal Government (i.e., federal personal identity verification (PIV) credentials) as required under Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12). Credentialed Design-Build Contractor personnel must wear their PIV credential cards visibly above the waist at all times while in occupied building areas housing federal operations.

All other Construction Contractor personnel requiring access to occupied building areas housing federal operations will be issued visitor badges upon entry, must wear their visitor badges visibly above the waist, and must surrender their visitor badges upon exit.

All non-PIV credentialed Design-Build Contractor personnel must be escorted at all times (including after hours) while in occupied building areas housing federal operations. The escort must be a PIV credentialed individual who has been found suitable after completion of the required background investigation. An exception to this requirement will be provided for Design-Build Contractor personnel requiring daily/weekly access to occupied building areas housing federal operations, over a period exceeding 10 days but less than 180 days. These individuals shall undergo a law enforcement check. Those who receive favorable results will be granted unescorted access to specified building areas.

2.13.1 Law Enforcement Checks and Background Investigations

The GSA will designate a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Federal Protective Service (FPS) representative to coordinate the required law enforcement checks and background investigations. The Design-Build Contractor shall justify the need for and obtain the GSA approval of all requests for Design- Build Contractor personnel law enforcement checks or background investigations, before initiating further action.

For each Design-Build Contractor employee (including subcontractor employees) required to undergo a law enforcement check, the Contractor Contractor shall provide a legible ten-print fingerprint submission.

For each Design-Build Contractor employee (including subcontractor employees) required to undergo a background investigation, the Construction Contractor shall provide the following documents:

• A completed Questionnaire for Non-Sensitive Positions (Standard Form 85)

• A legible ten-print fingerprint submission

• A Declaration for Federal Employment (Optional Form 306) with items 1, 2, 8 through 13, 16, and 17a completed (or a document containing the same information)

The required forms may be downloaded from the GSA website at: www.gsa.gov/forms .

The GSA will provide fingerprinting at no cost for Design-Build Contractor personnel requiring law enforcement checks or background investigations. Alternatively, fingerprinting may be obtained from local or state law enforcement agencies. Any fees charged by these agencies shall be non-reimbursable.

The Design-Build Contractor shall provide the documents required above to the GSA or directly to the designated DHS FPS representative, at least 30 days before the subject individuals will require daily/weekly access to building areas housing federal operations. The documents required for each applicant shall be provided in a separate sealed and secure envelope.

Design-Build Contractor personnel for whom background investigations have been requested must appear at least once in person before the designated DHS FPS representative and present two acceptable original identity source documents. One of these documents must be a valid (unexpired) picture ID issued by a state government or the federal government. [Note: the list of acceptable documents to establish identity is contained in Appendix G to the GSA HSPD-12 Personal Identity Verification and Credentialing SOP.]

Design-Build Contractor personnel requiring daily/weekly access to building areas housing federal operations may be in possession of previously issued valid federal PIV credentials. For each such Design- Build Contractor employee (including subcontractor employees), the DB Contractor shall provide evidence verifying that the employee: (1) possesses a valid (unexpired) federal PIV credential; and (2) has undergone the required suitability or national security level investigation comparable to or higher than that required on this contract. If both of these conditions cannot be met, a new background investigation shall be required.

2.13.2 Credentialing and Return of Credentials

A federal PIV credential may be issued after an initial background check has been completed. If the ensuing further background investigation results in a preliminary finding that the subject individual is unsuitable to occupy a position at the designated sensitivity level, the PIV credential may be revoked and the subject individual denied access to building areas housing federal operations pending completion of any adjudication and/or appeal process or final determination. Unsuitable individuals may be escorted out of building areas housing federal operations by DHS FPS, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), or other law enforcement entities, if necessary to protect government employees, property, and interests.
