When required by these specifications, such verifications shall be mandatory, and an allowance for these verifications shall be made in the Contractor's Contract Progress Schedule. The Contractor shall provide notification that work is ready for verification in accordance with the requirements outlined on the Mandatory Verification Schedule. Required mandatory verifications are as listed by the schedule.

1.7 CONTRACTOR COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION: The contractor shall keep the Government abreast of all work activities on a routine basis. The Contractor shall coordinate the work of subcontractors and shall ensure the coordination of the work between the various trades. In many instances the contract drawings indicate only the general location and arrangement of equipment, fixtures, piping, conduit, or outlets and may not in all cases show, identify or detail all materials or components that are necessary, usual and customary for proper installation, connection or attachment. The Contractor shall study, examine and evaluate the contract drawings to establish the work, coordination, or materials required and necessary to provide a product complete in the usual and customary manner, and shall provide for all such requirements as though expressly detailed herein or on the drawings.

1.7.1. On a daily basis, the contractor shall call or email (preferred) the designated inspector of all work in-progress. Likewise the contractor will notify the inspector when there is no work in-progress (i.e. due to adverse weather conditions).

1.8 SECURITY, SAFETY AND ACCIDENT PREVENTION:

1.8.1 General: The Contractor shall conform to base regulations and directives pertaining to security, safety, traffic, fire and personnel clearances, insofar as they pertain to the Contractor's activities as directed by the Contracting Officer. Compliance with current regulation AFR 127-101, Ground Accident Prevention Handbook and Public Law 91-156 Occupational Safety and Health Act Standards is mandatory.

1.8.2 Security: Restricted and Controlled Areas. Restricted and Controlled Areas on Dover AFB have a higher level of security and require additional entry authorization and procedures.

1.8.2.1 Restricted Area (RA). The contractor shall implement and comply with all local base procedures and those contained in AFI 31-101. The contractor will use one of the following methods to gain access and perform project work in the RA:

1.8.2.1.1 Unescorted Entry. This method of entry is the most preferred in which all the contractor’s work force personnel possess a valid RA Badge (Entry Control Card). The contractor must make every effort to obtain RA Badges (RAB) for all his personnel that will work in the RA. Suitability determinations are in accordance with AFI 31-501. The RAB will be prominently displayed at all times while working in the RA.

Project Number: 111099 Contract Number:

01000-4

1.8.2.1.2 Escorted Entry. Contractor personnel possessing a RAB may escort other members of the work force that do not possess a RAB. Escorts are fully responsible for the whereabouts and actions of the individuals they are escorting. This method of entry is intended for smaller projects with limited elements of work and the escort may perform work so long as they can maintain positive surveillance and control of individuals they are escorting at all times.

1.8.2.1.3 Free Zone Monitors. On large projects where it is not practical or possible for the contractor to use the 2 above methods of entry (due to large area worked, large work force, use of subcontractors and delivery truck drivers without badges, etc.) the contractor will request a Free Zone and haul route be established, and will provide full time personnel with RAB to monitor the boundaries of these areas. These monitors are referred to as Immediate Visual Assessment (IVA) monitors and will read and comply with procedures for performing this task. The IVA will checkout a Government radio from SFS and maintain radio contact with SFS at all times. The IVA will be equipped with a vehicle and cell phone provided by the contractor. Since the IVA’s sole responsibility will be to monitor boundaries (they will not be permitted to perform any work) for security purposes the Government will pay for this service. Method and amount of payment will be negotiated and built into the contract.

1.8.2.2 Controlled Area (CA). Contractor personnel with a RAB are also authorized to enter and escort other contractor personnel in a CA. On larger projects in a CA, where the contractor will have personnel without RABs the contractor will gain authorization to work from the user/owner of the CA. Similar to the request for a Free Zone, the contractor will provide a work plan and schedule, sketch of the work location, and a list of personnel and vehicles for approval.

1.9.1.1 All personnel employed by the contractor in the performance of this contract, or any representative of the contractor entering the governmental installation shall abide by all security instructions and directives of Dover AFB. Employees are responsible for safeguarding all government property provided for contractor use.

1.9.1.3 The contractor and, as applicable, subcontractor shall not employ persons for work on this contract if such employee is identified as a potential threat to the health, safety, security, general well being or operational mission of the installation and its population, nor shall the contractor or subcontractor employ persons under this contract who have an outstanding criminal warrant as identified during the Criminal Background Investigation

(CBI).

1.9.1.4 Contractors shall ensure their employees and those of their subcontracts have the proper credentials allowing them to work in the United States. Employees and

1.9.1.5 The contractor shall not be entitled to any compensation for delays or expenses associated with complying with the provisions of this clause. Furthermore, nothing in this clause shall excuse the contractor from proceeding with the contract as required.

1.9.1.6 All contractors and subcontractors when working in a Controlled, Restricted or other sensitive areas must be escorted at all times. The military agency or unit responsible for the project or work is responsible for providing the escorts. The Contractor shall follow existing procedures and instructions for obtaining entrance to restricted or controlled areas.

1.9.2 Contractor Badge Policies:

1.9.2.1 All requests for contractor badges will be submitted through the Base Contracting Squadron Office and/or the requesting agencies Base point of contact. The contractor must provide the name, date of birth, Social Secutiry number, driver’s liscense number and state of issue, for each individual requesting a contractor badge. The Contracting Squadron Office or Base point of contact will then fill out an Operational Risk Management Assessment Form (ORM) for the requesting agency and submit it to the Pass and Registrations section for approval IAW DAFBI 31-101. As a minimum the ORM will be submitted 72-hours prior to the requested date of employment.

1.9.2.2 All contactor employees who’ll be granted unescorted access to the installation are required to consent to a Criminal Background Investigation (CBI) prior to being granted entry to the installation. Continued employment is contingent upon successful completion and favorable reporting of the criminal background check.

1.9.2.3 Contractor badges will be issued for a maximum period of one year. Prior to reissuing new badges, all old badges must be returned to Pass and Registration for destruction. Also before a new badge will be issued an ORM must be resubmitted to the Pass and Registration section for approval again. In the event a badge is lost or stolen, the badge holder must accomplish the Loss/Theft of Identification Worksheet and provide it to his/her supervisor. The supervisor of the contractor will investigate the loss and report in writing the circumstances in which the badge was lost to the 436th Contracting Squadron and 436th Security Forces Squadron and submit a new request for badge renewal per paragraph 1.9.2.1. before a new badge can be reissued.

1.9.2.4 Base Contracting Office or base point of contact will immediately notify Security Forces, Pass and Registration when a contractor’s employment has been terminated. The Agency Chief or Site Supervisors are responsible for notifying and returning the contractor’s badge to Pass and Registration when this occurs. At no time will a contractor contact Security Forces directly regarding badge denial; they need to contact the Contracting Squadron.

Call Miss Utility prior to submitting the request to the Government Inspector.
