U3.13.2.1U Entry: In order to gain entry onto a facility, Contractor personnel and mission essential Contractor owned/leased/rented vehicles must be listed on an Entry Authority List (EAL), identified by Government inspector/escort personnel, and physically escorted on site by authorized Government inspector/personnel. No privately owned vehicles (POVs) will be permitted on MAFs or LFs.

U3.13.2.2U Thirty (30) working days prior to the initial commencement of work, the Contractor must submit to the Contracting Officer a summarized list of employees and mission essential Contractor owned/leased/rented vehicles along with a legible photocopy of each employee’s government issued credential photo ID. The lists and photocopies will be used to prepare the Contractor’s EAL referenced above. Foremen, supervisors and superintendents must be identified as such on the Contractor’s list of employee information. Deletions to the EAL may be made without preparing a new list but must be requested by the Contractor in writing. However, a new list must be submitted by the Contractor for any addition or change to the EAL. All requested changes in writing to an approved list submitted between the 1st and 15th of the month inclusive shall be in place by the end of that month. All requested changes in writing to an approved list submitted between the 16th and end of the month inclusive shall be in place by the 15th of the following month.

U3.13.2.2.1U The Contractor’s summarized list of employee information must show each employee’s full name exactly as it appears on the credentialed photo ID submitted; date of birth (DOB); full Social Security Account Number (SSAN); citizenship; the government issuing agency name and control number exactly as it appears on the credentialed ID submitted. U.S. government issued credential photo IDs must have a picture of the individual, individual’s DOB and a control number. Acceptable government

01000-5 issued credentialed photo IDs are U.S. Federal passport or passport card, or state, commonwealth, territory, protectorate, District of Columbia, U.S.

sovereign insular area or tribal organization recognized by the U.S.

Department of the Interior cards.

U3.13.2.2.2U The Contractor’s summarized list of vehicle information must include vehicle make; vehicle model; vehicle year;

vehicle primary color; vehicle license plate state of issue and number.

Vehicles include mission essential company owned/leased/rented vehicles driven out to the MAF or LF and brought onsite for use, i.e. pick-up trucks, cars, vans, lineman’s trucks, dump trucks and all trailers being taken onsite. All equipment (i.e. skit-steers, Bobcats, forklifts, loaders/backhoes/ lifts, trenchers, air compressors, welders, etc.), materials, and hand-carried items (i.e. power tools and hand tools) brought out to the site on a trailer are not required to be listed on the EAL. A piece of equipment driven on-site rather than on a listed trailer needs to be listed on the EAL. No privately owned vehicles will be permitted on MAFs or LFs.

U3.13.2.3U Upon arrival at the MAF, Contractor personnel will contact the Flight Security Controller (FSC) using the gate intercom telephone and inform the FSC of their presence at the security gate. Contractor personnel must remain outside of the security fence and in or near their vehicle until the arrival of the Government inspector/escort.

U3.13.2.4U Upon arrival, the Government inspector/escort will identify and search all Contractor personnel. All Contractor personnel will provide the Government inspector/escort with two (2) forms of identification as listed above (one being photo) stating the employee’s full name and SSN.

These two forms of identification shall be the same two forms of ID used to generate the EAL. The Contractor's vehicles will be checked and possibly searched prior to site entry. Contractor vehicles shall be clearly marked identifying each contracting firm.

U3.13.2.5U If Contractor personnel are not listed on the EAL, or those who are listed cannot provide proper identification, they will not be permitted on the site. Delays caused by lack of proper EAL data or proper identification shall be at no cost to the Government.

U3.13.2.6U Restricted Area. The work to be performed is in a restricted area. Therefore, the Contractor shall conform to all requirements of MAFB IDP 31. Workers will be required to have an escort with them at all times. The Using Agency will provide an escort for the Contractor. The Contractor shall allow 60 minutes each day for personnel to process on and off the work site that will not be considered delay time. The Contractor shall bid a crew hourly rate for any delays beyond the 60 minutes. This hourly rate will also apply to Government-caused work stoppages when the entire work crew will be asked to evacuate the work area. All site access delays must be reported by

01000-6 the Contractor, in writing, to the Contracting Officer within 24 hours of occurrence. All Government-caused work stoppages must be documented by Government personnel at the time of occurrence and reported by the Contractor, in writing, to the Contracting Officer within 48 hours of occurrence.

U3.13.3.4U During all on-site work, the Contractor personnel will be accompanied and continuously monitored by one (1) Government inspector/escort. Failure to remain within the area being monitored is a serious breach of security and safety regulations. The Contractor will take all necessary action to ensure compliance. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to deny entry to/or take action with any Contractor personnel who refuse to conform to security and/or safety regulations. Delays resulting from such entry denial shall not result in any cost to the Government or schedule delay.

U3.14 AS-BUILT DRAWINGS:U The Contractor shall maintain a set of red-lined full-size, as-built construction drawings marked-up to fully indicate as-built conditions. These drawings shall be maintained in a current condition at all times until completion of the work and shall be available for review by Government personnel at all times. The location as dimensioned from permanent features, general description, type of material, and approximate depth below finished grade of all new and existing exterior underground utilities encountered shall be indicated. All variations from the contract drawings for the required coordination between trades shall be indicated.

These variations shall be shown in the same general detail utilized in the initial contract drawings. As-built construction drawings shall be furnished to the Contracting Officer for use during the final inspection. The as-built drawings shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer in accordance with Section 01300: SUBMITTALS.

Runoff management practices should be employed in areas where the potential for storm water contamination exists that cannot be addressed by a prevention or source reduction measure. Runoff management procedures may include vegetative swales, reuse of collected storm water, infiltration devices, and detention/sedimentation basins. Any erosion and sediment control measures which are damaged or found to be ineffective shall be remedied by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. Any areas damaged by erosion shall be repaired by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government.
