1‐10 BASE ACCESS AND SECURITY
| 1‐10.1 CRIMINAL | BACKGROUND | INVESTIGATION | CHECK | | | | | | | |
| a. All | contractors/subcontractors | seeking | to | enter | Laughlin | AFB | (LAFB) | for | employment | must |
| submit | to | a | criminal | history | background | check | prior | entering | LAFB. | | A | release | form | and | |
| spreadsheet | template | will | be | provided | and | must | be | completely | filled | out. | | Individuals | will | | |
| fill | out | one | release | form | per | person | and | the | Contractor | shall | compile | all | copies | and | provide |
| them | with | a | completed | spreadsheet | to | 47 | SFS/S5 | through | the | Contracting | Officer. | | | | | | |
| Contractor | personnel | convicted | of | the | following | crimes | (but | not | limited | to) | will | not | be | | | | |
| allowed | to | work | on | LAFB: | | espionage, | sabotage, | treason | or | terrorism; | felony | convictions; | | | | | |
| violent | crimes | against | persons; | sex | crimes; | drug | crimes | related | to | distribution | or | intent | to | | | | |
| distribute; | or | firearms/explosives | violations. | | Other | grounds | for | exclusion | for | working | on | | | | | | |
| LAFB | include, | but | are | not | limited | to: | | unable | to | provide | proof | of | U.S. | citizenship, | outstanding | | |
| warrants, | individuals | identified | on | Federal | terrorist | watch | lists, | and | incarceration | for | 12 | | | | | | |
| months | or | longer | within | the | past | three | years. | | Deviations | from | this | guideline | are | permitted | | | |
| on | a | case | by | case | basis | as | determined | by | 47 | SFS/CC | and/or | the | 47 | FTW/CC. | | Any | release |
| form/spreadsheet | not | correctly | filled | out | will | be | considered | incomplete | and | that | contractor | | | | | | |
| employee | will | not | be | granted | access | onto | LAFB. | | | | | | | | | | |
| b. Background | checks | may | take | up | to | 4 | weeks | to | process | and | will | be | considered | valid | for | a | | |
| period | of | 12 | months | for | contractors | without | a | break | in | service | working | on | LAFB | during | that | | | |
| time. | | However, | if | there | is | a | break | in | service | (work | on | base) | for | longer | than | 6 | months, | the |
| Contractor | will | have | to | resubmit | to | a | criminal | background | check. | | | | | | | | | |
| c. All | contractor/subcontractor | personnel | obtaining | a | satisfactory | criminal | history | | | | | | | | | |
| background | check | must | obtain | a | long | (24 | hrs‐2 | yrs) | or | short | term | (less | than | 24 | hrs) | AF |
| Form | 75 | or | contractor | badge | to | enter | the | installation. | | The | Contractor | must | provide | a | valid | |
| US | Government | issued | identification. | Identification | must | have | person’s | picture | at | time | of | | | | | |
| obtaining | AF | Form | 75 | and/or | contractor | badge. | | If | the | contractor/subcontractor | is | | | | | |
| requesting | a | vehicle | pass | he/she | must | provide | a | valid | drivers | license, | vehicle | registration | | | | |
| and | insurance | meeting | the | minimum | Texas | liability | coverage. | | Contractor/subcontractor | | | | | | | |
| will | report | all | lost, | stolen | or | missing | AF | Form | 75s | and/or | contractor | badges | to | 47 | SFS | |
| immediately | upon | discovery. | | All | AF | Form | 75 | and/or | contractor | badges | will | be | turned | in | at | |
| the | completion | of | stated | contract, | termination | of | employee, | debarment | from | base, | released | | | | | |
| from | contract, | and/or | Government | terminates | contract. | | Failure | to | follow | stated | procedures | | | | | |
| may | prevent | contractor/subcontractor | from | further | qualifying | for | base | access. | | | | | | | | |
| d. Short‐notice | passes | may | be | considered | on | a | case‐by‐case | basis | and | are | subject | to | approval |
| by | the | Contracting | Officer | with | coordination | of | 47 | SFS/S5 | and | 47 | FTW/ATO | personnel. | |
| Contractors | are | expected | to | do | advance | planning | to | the | maximum | extent | practicable | to | |
| minimize | short | notice | pass | requests. | | | | | | | | | |
| e. The | retention | pond | repair | area | is | within | a | designated | Laughlin | AFB | controlled | area. | | |
| Therefore, | the | contractor’s | work | area | will | be | designated | a | “Free | Zone”. | | Free | zones | are |
| established | within | controlled | areas | when | projects | and/or | similar | activities | make | it | | | | |
| inappropriate | or | impractical | to | apply | normal | circulation | controls. | | The | Air | Force | establishes | | |
| such | free | zone | corridors | to | permit | access | of | contractor | personnel | and | equipment | to | project | |
| sites | located | within | controlled | areas. | | | Upon | award | of | the | contract, | appropriate | actions | will |
| be | initiated | to | obtain | the | required | approvals | for | this | designation. | Contractor | supervisory | | | |
| representatives | will | be | required | to | attend | a | pre‐construction | meeting | prior | to | mobilization, | | | |
| where | applicable | Free | Zone | requirements | and | local | base | access | procedures | will | be | | | |
discussed.
| f. At | the | close | of | each | work | period, | facilities, | equipment | and | materials | shall | be | secured. | If | any |
| government | property | is | provided | the | contractor | shall | be | responsible | for | safeguarding | said | | | | |
property.

| searching | of | all | vehicles. | | Longer | wait | times | may | occur | in | the | event | of | an | emergency. |
| d. Contractors, | subcontractors, | and | all | personnel | who | report | for | work | and | do | not | know | the | | | |
| location | of | the | jobsite | will | be | held | at | the | main | gate | to | await | escort | service | from | the |

a. Variations from contract requirements require Contracting Officer and will be considered where advantageous to Government.
| b. Discussion | with | the | Contracting | Officer | prior | to | submission | will | help | ensure | functional | and |

| requirements | of | the | contract | and/or | specific | delivery | order. | | | | |
| (2) Describe | the | nature | and | features | of | the | variation | and | why | the | variation | is | desirable |

| 2‐1.3.2 Approval | and | Disapproval | | | | | | | | | |
| a. Approved | submittals | authorize | the | Contractor | to | proceed | with | the | work | covered. | The |
| Contractor | shall | review | the | submittal | for, | and | comply | with, | any | conditions | or | other | | |
| information | indicated | on, | or | attached | to, | the | approved | submittal. | | | Approval | of | a | separate |
| material, | product, | or | component | does | not | imply | approval | of | an | assembly | in | which | item | |
functions.
| b. The | Contracting | Officer's | approval | of | submittals | shall | not | be | construed | as | a | complete | check, | |
| but | will | indicate | only | that | the | general | method | of | construction, | materials, | detailing | and | other | |
| information | appear | to | meet | the | Solicitation | and | Accepted | Proposal. | | Approval | will | not | | |
| relieve | the | Contractor | of | the | responsibility | for | any | error | which | may | exist, | as | the | Contractor |
| is | responsible | for | the | satisfactory | construction | of | all | work. | | After | submittals | have | been | |
| approved | by | the | Contracting | Officer, | no | resubmittal | for | the | purpose | of | substituting | | | |
| materials | or | equipment | will | be | considered | unless | accompanied | by | an | explanation | of | why | a | |
| substitution | is | necessary. | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| c. Disapproved | submittals | indicate | submittal | is | incomplete | or | does | not | comply | with | design | | | | |
| concept | or | requirements | of | the | contract | documents | and | shall | be | resubmitted | with | | | | |
| appropriate | changes. | | No | work | shall | proceed | for | this | item | until | resubmittal | is | approved. | | If |
| the | Contractor | considers | any | correction | indicated | on | the | submittals | to | constitute | a | change | | | |
| to | the | contract, | a | notice | in | accordance | with | the | clause | 52.243‐4 | shall | be | given | promptly | to |
| the | Contracting | Officer. | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
