Include all wiring diagrams and parts lists.

13. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS:

13.1 Goodfellow Air Force Base is a closed/controlled access base. As an effort to minimize peak traffic flows at the entry gates, the Contractor, his employees, and his subcontractors are highly encouraged to avoid scheduling deliveries through the entry control gates from 7:00 A.M. to 8:00 A.M. Monday through Friday as there could be significant delays.

The Government will conduct security/background checks on all construction personnel as required. Security requirements will be briefed at the pre-construction conference and handouts outlining specific requirements will be provided. Screening measures are in place and suitability for employees to access the installation will be determined during the conference. Requirements are subject to change dependent upon current world situations, potential threats, and base exercises. Full cooperation by Contractor work forces is required. Contractor should anticipate certain notification and reporting requirements, preparation of forms, and lists for pass and identification of employees and their vehicles, entry restrictions, key/lock control, and compliance with all base traffic rules and regulations. The Jacobson Gate Visitor Control Center 325-654-4122 is the OPR for passes.

13.2 Goodfellow AFB security may be viewed as being one of two broad levels, the level in effect being dependent on the location or area of project.

a. The lowest level of security exists in general access areas. These areas are all of Goodfellow AFB outside of the “USAF Controlled” areas.

b. “USAF Controlled” access areas are the higher-level security areas. Presence within these controlled access areas are by authorization and/or escort. The movement of authorized personnel in and out of these areas may be limited. Contractor personnel are permitted access to these areas on a need basis only. Access to controlled areas will require the Contractor to coordinate all requests through the Government organization occupying the project site. The Contractor is advised there may be delays gaining access to controlled areas. No delay less than one hour in duration will be considered for down time, nor will delays of less than one hour be cumulative over several time periods.

13.3 Referencing the above, the work on this contract will be in a general Access area.

13.4 BASE ACCESS SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: The Contractor shall comply at all times with base law enforcement and security requirements to include base pass requirements.

13.4.1 Contractor Installation Access Pass. Before arrival, a Government identification card-holding person from the sponsoring agency, Base Contracting office/administrator or applicable local project manager will submit a request for base access using the 17 Training Wing’s Base Access List (BAL) memorandum as a form of registration for each credential applicant. The base sponsor/sponsoring agency/Contracting Officer and the contracted management team should establish an accountability process to account for each applicant, to oversee the BAL process, and to retrieve installation passes when access is no longer required. Base sponsors/sponsoring agencies or contract officers will ensure the BAL is accurate, it is signed and forwarded to the 17 SFS Pass & Registration section for completion of the vetting and fitness determination processes. The BAL should be delivered to Pass & Registration, located at the Visitor Control Center (VCC). When delivery is not possible, the BAL may be forwarded to Pass & Registration via a “.mil” email account located on Goodfellow AFB. The BAL will include pertinent visitor information, reason for entry, frequency of entry, destination, times each day requiring entry, and duration of request.

Contractor Initial (and periodic) Installation Access Screening. The Contractor shall provide Pass and Registration with two forms of identification, one of which will be a state issued photo identification. Prior to being allowed access, a minimum of a background/National Crime Information Center (NCIC) check will be completed on all contractors, requesting unescorted access for official business. This screening process will validate the contractor's suitability to visit Goodfellow and certify that the contractor does not pose an increased threat to the base populace. The contractor will then be issued a temporary Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) pass or AF Form 75A through the expiration date on the BAL request. Possession of an authorized access pass does not automatically authorize or guarantee access to the installation. The individual must still have a valid purpose to be on the installation and properly sponsored, as applicable.

13.4.2 Access Denial. If it is determined a Contractor requesting access has been convicted of a felony or pled guilty to a felony charge within the past 10 years, or is considered not fit to obtain authorized access based on the information obtained during the identity vetting, or criminal history indicates the individual may present a threat to the good order, discipline and morale of the installation, Security Forces personnel will deny entry. The contractor will be informed of the access denial, will be issued an Access Denial Letter, and will be informed on how they may appeal this order.

Access Denial Appeal Process. When denied access, contract visitors will be informed to report back their manager. If the contract worker and management are considering an appeal, it will be submitted by letter to the 17 SFS Commander, within 30 days of access denial. The contract manager should first contact the military contract officer/administrator or on-base sponsor for additional guidance and clarification. The appeal may be delivered to the installation Visitor Control Section or mailed to Security Forces, addressed to 17 SFS/CC, 361 Apache Trail, Goodfellow AFB, 76908. The Contractor's appeal should discuss all facts and reasons to support rescinding access denial. The 17 TRW/CC will approve/disapprove all appeals for entry.

13.4.3 For installation access on non-duty hours or down days:

Identify which workers need access on weekends, federal holidays/family days, and down days.

Ensure only workers that are already vetted are on the Extended-Hours request (no new personnel). New personnel require a new BAL and formal vetting.

Complete the “After Hours” BAL for workers requiring down day access to the installation.

Identify the vehicle requirements. If operations cannot support the search procedures for large vehicles/special purpose equipment, the request may be declined unless arrangements are made to deliver the vehicle/equipment prior, during normal duty hours.

During the above-mentioned days, the Contract officering, contract representative sponsoring ID cardholder is required to be present during hours of the work request.

13.4.4 All BALs are accomplished each time employees or personnel change, not to exceed 180 days. Oversight for BAL updates and establishment of procedures to ensure Physical Access Control System (PACS) credentials and locally created access credentials from individuals who no longer require installation access is the responsibility of the contracting officer/contract administrator.

When an employee (regardless of position) is no longer employed by the contractor or subcontractor all DBIDS passes are to be returned to the Contract Officer/Administrator or to the Visitor Control Center. If a local issued access credential/pass is not returned, the contract officer may withhold funds or the Installation Commander may consider permanent debarment to the installation. Immediate access denial may be initiated by Pass & Registration updating the DBIDS database until disposition of the DBIDS pass is resolved.

13.4.5 TRAFFIC LAWS. Contractor and employees shall comply with Texas transportation code, base traffic regulations and posted signs while on the installation.

13.4.6 WEAPONS, FIREARMS, AMMUNITION. Contractor employees are prohibited from possessing weapons, firearms, or ammunition on themselves or within their contractor-owned vehicle or privately-owned vehicles while on base.

14. IDENTIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR VEHICLES:

Contractor vehicles should be marked on each side with company name with either permanent or semi-permanent/magnetic signage to aide the Security Forces in identifying and permitting them exemption from basewide exercises.

15. WARRANTIES:

Any warranties given to the Contractor or subcontractor at any tier from a manufacturer of equipment or other items, which are provided under this contract, shall be transferred to the Government upon final acceptance in accordance with the clause contained in the basic contract, Section I.
