7.

STORAGE AREA (I.E. TEMPORARY FIELD OFFICE, STAGING AREAS, TOOL/JOB SHACKS,

AND OTHER CONSTRUCTION FACILITIES):

There are no Government furnished covered or secure storage areas. Limited on-base, off site storage will be permitted on a space available basis. The location on Dyess AFB of the Contractor’s temporary field office, storage, and other construction buildings required temporarily in the performance of the work, shall require written approval of the Contracting Officer. Plans showing temporary field office, storage, and other construction

01 14 00 - 4 buildings shall be submitted for approval (GA) of the Contracting Officer. Utilities at the storage area may or may not be available for Contractor use. The Government implies no responsibility for lost or stolen materials, equipment or tools, the security of which lies solely with the Contractor. Contractor shall keep his storage areas clean, neat and orderly and will keep grass mowed to a maximum height of 4 inches. Temporary fencing used by the Contractor to delineate constructor sites shall be securely anchored with tension wires and posts as required to prevent sagging and an unsightly appearance. Fencing shall be maintained by the Contractor in this manner throughout the life of the contract. Due to high winds in west Texas, Contractor shall take every precaution to preclude trash from blowing off site.

8. TOILET FACILITIES

There are no toilet facilities available for Contractor use. Contractor shall provide his own portable/temporary toilet facilities.

9. CLEAN-UP

: The Contractor shall, at all times, keep the construction site and storage area(s) free from accumulation of waste, rubbish, or construction debris.

13. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

Dyess AFB security may be viewed as being one of three broad levels, the level in effect being dependent on the location or area of Dyess AFB in question.

a. The lowest level of security exists in general access areas. These areas are all of Dyess AFB outside of the "USAF Controlled" and "USAF Restricted" areas.

b. USAF controlled access areas are the mid-level security areas. Presence within the controlled access area is by authorization; however, the movement of authorized personnel in and out of these areas is generally not impeded. Contractor personnel are given access to these areas.

01 14 00 - 5

c. The third and highest level of security on Dyess AFB is that within the USAF Restricted areas. These areas are further subdivided to be known as Priority A, Priority B, or Priority C areas.

13.1 Referencing the above, the work on this contract will be in the following classifications:

USAF Controlled Access Area

USAF Restricted Area

All of the airfield except the 3-Bay 3-Bay parking apron, the B-1B/C-130 parking Parking apron, the B-1B/C-130 apron, and occasionally the Transient Apron.

Parking apron, and occasionally The Transient Apron.

13.2 Requests for changes to the work schedule for work in USAF restricted areas, must be submitted a minimum of 7 calendar days in advance for approval and coordination of Dyess AFB Security Forces.

13.3 Dyess Air Force Base is a closed base

. All personnel entering must have specific permission of the installation commander for entry. This permission is granted when a Contractor employee is issued an identification card.

Information necessary to obtain identification cards will be provided by the Contracting Officer at the pre-performance conference. The Contractor shall be responsible to ensure that all of its employees obtain, and keep on their person at all times while working on the base, a USAF identification card. Upon completion of the work or termination of an employee, the Contractor shall be responsible for turn in of identification cards no longer needed to the Contracting Officer or to the Pass and Registration Office of the Security Forces. Failure to turn in badges will result in last payment of payroll to be withheld and revocation of any future badges issued by Pass and Registration Office to the employee and the contractor.

DYESS FORM 173:

Effective 1 Nov 04, a completed signed original Dyess Form 173 (Mar 04) must be delivered to Pass & ID by 0900 on the duty day prior to the desired day of entry onto Dyess AFB. The Visitor Control Center will no longer issue temporary passes to contractor personnel unless they have already been previously identified on an executed Dyess Form 173.

All information on the Dyess Form 173 must be typed and the authorizing signature must be in blue or black ink.

Personal information provided on the Dyess Form 173 will be cross-referenced against state and federal criminal databases to identify those individuals possessing outstanding warrants. Those individuals with outstanding warrants will be detained at the Visitor Control Center on the desired day of entry, and turned over to Abilene Police Department.

If any errors are noted on the form, the approving authority (individual on the 577) can make ink changes in red ink.

All changes have to be initialed by the approval authority. (Effective Date: Immediately)

All individuals with Dyess Form 173’s will still continue to be processed via the Texas Law Enforcement Terminal System (TLETS—police wants/warrants check). Once it is determined the individual is cleared from any wants or warrants, a copy of the Dyess Form 173 will be placed at the Tye Gate entry point. The Tye Gate Guard will use this form as an Entry Authority List (EAL) allowing contractors onto the installation. The contractor will then be able to go to the Gate directly (not the Visitor Control Center (VCC) or Arnold Gate) and verify if their Dyess Form 173 is there. Should their Dyess Form 173 not be there, they will be directed to the VCC for issuance of an AF Form 75. At this time someone will physically have to meet them there to sponsor them onto the installation.

(Reasons why the form would not be at the guard shack would be erroneous driver’s license number, erroneous information, warrant, or identified as illegal alien). (Effective Date: Immediately)

Should their Dyess Form 173 be at the Tye Gate entry point, the contractor will be told to proceed directly to the Pass and Registration Section for the 7 SFS Contractor Badge issue. The Pass Section will have the original Dyess Form 173. Once a badge is obtained, they need only show the badge at the installation gate for entry onto the installation. Please note that neither the Security Forces Control Center nor the Tye Gate Guards will check the

01 14 00 - 6

Dyess Form 173 for errors. This is the responsibility of the Pass and Registration Section. (Effective Date:

Immediately) The Dyess Form 173 will be maintained at the Tye Gate entry point for 48 hours (two business days). After the specified time has expired, it will be destroyed. Should the contractor not process through Tye Gate in that 48 hour period, the contractor will require someone to physically vouch them on base to get a one day pass at the VCC so they may proceed to the Pass and Registration office for their badge. The hold period for these forms at the gate can and will be extended should rain days occur or through prior coordination with any affected agency. (Effective Date: Immediately)

TRUSTED AGENT LETTER FOR DAY LABOR REQUESTS:

Purpose of Letter: To provide sponsoring authority to specific contractor individuals as identified by their sponsoring agency (7 CONS, Army Corp of Engineers, etc) to sponsor day laborers on for one day periods.

(Effective Date: Immediately)

The Letter Process:

The sponsoring agency, in coordination with their contractor, will identify contractor individuals that require sponsoring/vouching authority. This authority is given to the contractor for the purpose of sponsoring day laborers/job site personnel sub-contracted as a result of an unexpected or new requirement not previously identified in the current contract. This authority will not be given to contractors for convenience only, but should be limited to the smallest group of manager or foreman contractor personnel needed to complete their assigned contract. It is the responsibility of the sponsoring agency to ensure the Trusted Agent Letter remains current. Additionally, all reasonable actions should occur to prevent use of this process when a known laborer/sub-contractor was required well in advance of the day labor/sub-contractor request. (Effective Date: Immediately)

The sponsoring agency will provide this letter to the Pass and Registration Section who will maintain it on file. A copy of the letter will be posted by the Pass and Registration Section at the Visitor Control Center as a reference to verify which contractor personnel have sponsoring/vouching authority. (Effective Date: Immediately)

The Process to get Day Labors/Job Site Personnel Sub-Contracted onto the Installation:

The contractor individuals identified in the Trusted Agent Letter will provide a typed or hand-written form (form will be provided by the 7 SFS) with all individuals they will sponsor onto the installation to the VCC Guard. The VCC Guard will verify the identity of all individuals on the form by checking the information against a valid State/Federal Identification card. The VCC Guard will randomly check a percentage of the individuals via the TLETS. Should any individual not possess a valid identification card, they will be turned away at the VCC and entry to the installation denied. Pen and ink changes can be made to the form, but all information must be validated by the guard before the contractor will be allowed to proceed onto the installation with the sponsored individuals.

No AF Form 75/Visitor Pass will be issued to any individual who is sponsored by the Trusted Agent Contractor, unless the sponsored individual will be driving a vehicle onto the installation. Trusted Agent Contractors are encouraged to consolidate all sponsored individuals into the smallest number of vehicles as possible to avoid the issuance of multiple AF Forms 75. Should an AF Form 75 be issued, the driver will be required to produce a valid driver’s license, current insurance card, and current registration for the vehicle being operated. Once on the installation, the Trusted Agent Contractor will be responsible for the actions of the sponsored individuals. Should an incident occur with a sponsored guest, and negligence be proven on the part of the Trusted Agent Contractor, their vouching/sponsoring authority will be revoked. The Trusted Agent Letter can be adjusted to add and delete names of Trusted Agent Contractors as needed, as long as the provisions of this paragraph are followed. Although the 7 SFS form is used in lieu of the AF Form 75, it carries the same authority and responsibilities. Additionally, the 7 SFS Form will expire at 0001 daily or at the end of the contractor duty day, whichever occurs first. At no time will the Trusted Agent Contractor depart the installation and leave any of his/her sponsored individuals with another contractor that does not have the same vouching/sponsoring privileges.

All contractors must attend a contractor briefing given to the contractors by Pass and Registration who will provide a more detailed explanation regarding contractor badges and their uses. Pass and Registration reserves the right to not issue a contractor badge due to erroneous information or failure to disclose information on the Dyess Form 173.

Any derogatory information received from the background check will result in the non-issuance of the contractor

01 14 00 - 7 badge. The Dyess AFB Form Letter 173 is subject to the privacy act of 1974, Authority: 10 U.S.C. 8012 and 5 U.S.C. 552a(b)(7).

Principle purposes: To provide the 7th Security Forces Squadron, and other authorized agencies, with a listing of personnel authorized access to Dyess Air Force Base, Texas as Contractors or Contractor employees.

Routine Uses: To verify the identity of personnel entering Dyess AFB as Contractors.

Disclosure is Mandatory: Failure to provide the information and Social Security Number (SSN) could result in denied access to the Dyess AFB installation.

13.4 Contractor shall enclose his contract work area, with airport barriers similar to model MS4202-5, color “safety orange”, manufactured by MARKSTAAR or approved equal. Supplement the barriers with red lights, either flashing or steady-burning. Flashing lights shall be at least five candelas effective intensity and flash at a rate of from 55 to 160 flashes per minute. Continuous burning lights shall have an effective intensity of 10 candelas.

Lighted barricades used in close proximity shall all be the same type (flash rate) and color. Place barricades at maximum intervals of 50 feet and use dual barricades and lights on corners and ends. The intent of this requirement is to comply with UFC 3-260-01”Airfiel and Heliport Planning and Design”, section 14 “Construction Phasing Plan and Operational Safety on Airfields During Construction” and FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-2E “Operational Safety on Airports During Construction” and that all personnel (Contractors', Air Force, and visitors) will know the authorized boundary of each Contractor's area and thereby minimize unauthorized movement, and to help promote safety. The contractor shall provide a point of contract (Person’s name and phone number) on-call 24 hours a day for emergency maintenance of airport hazard lighting and barricades and for coordinating immediate response to construction related issues that might adversely affect the airfield.
