1.5.4.1 Government Facility Office Hours: The Government facility office hours are 0700 to 1600, Monday through Friday except U.S. Holidays identified in paragraph 1.5.3.1 above or when the Government facility is closed due to local or national emergencies, administrative closings, or similar Government directed facility closings.

1.5.4.3.1 Contractor Work Plan: RESERVED

1.5.5 Training Holidays: USAREUR has historically granted military personnel training holidays as compensation for time that they spent in field training. These are typically combined with regular holiday leave schedules (for example, Christmas half days or day on day off schedules). Training holidays may affect access to military operated facilities. If scheduled work or access to facilities is required, coordination with occupants will be necessary or the work in affected facilities shall be rescheduled after the training holiday. However, announced training holidays or exodus of military personnel may provide the Contractor with an opportunity for unrestricted access to facilities and areas. The Contractor shall take full advantage of such opportunities by planning maintenance or actions that are better accomplished when such areas are vacant.

1.5.6 Place of Performance: The services to be performed under this contract will be performed at various locations throughout the USAG Wiesbaden footprint. Specific tank locations are identified in the inventory list in Attachment 1.

Failure to submit required information/data and obtain required documentation or clearances in accordance with Army in Europe (AE) Regulation 190-16 (AE Reg 190-16) Installation Access Control or (AE) Regulation 604-1 for Germany specific contracts, will be grounds for denying access to U.S. installations and controlled areas. The Contractor shall ensure that any subcontractors used in performance of this contract complies with these requirements and that all employees, of both the Contractor and any subcontractor utilized by the Contractor, are made aware of and comply with these requirements. Should anything in this paragraph conflict with AE Reg 190-16 or (AE) Regulation 604-1, the regulation takes precedent.

The Contractor shall be aware of and comply with the requirements associated with Installation Access Control. The Government is not liable for any costs associated with performance delays due solely to a firm’s failure to comply with Installation Access Control System (IACS) processing requirements.

The Contractor shall return installation passes to the issuing IACS office when the contract is completed or when a Contractor employee no longer requires access.
