Security of Creech AFB is treated as serious business and full cooperation is required.

1.10.3.5 Once access to the base has been granted, each contractor employee will be expected to proceed to the work site and not go to other facilities except in the performance of their work.

Access to the flightline can only be allowed through additional authorization.

1.10.3.6 Expect some delays in gaining access to the base especially between the hours of 6:30 AM to 8:00 AM due to heavy traffic.

1.10.3.7 Gate Hours: Gate hours are subject to change by the Government at any time due to military activities. Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating with the Contracting Officer for base access.

1.10.4 Unauthorized Activity: The contractor shall inform all personnel working under his/her jurisdiction (including subcontractor and supplier personnel) that access to areas outside of the immediate work area (excluding cafeterias and restrooms near the work site, direct haul and access routes, Contracting and Civil Engineering offices, and points of supply and storage) is prohibited.

Circulation of said personnel will be limited to official business only. Persons engaged in unauthorized reconnaissance of other contractor or government activity will be referred to the Contracting Officer for disposition. Infractions involving possible compromise of national security will be turned over to the FBI for disposition.

1.10.5 FAA Notification: Contractor will submit the required FAA Form 7460-1 to the FAA via https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp for all new construction, work on the exterior of existing facilities, and all crane usage. Contractor will follow any and all requirements dictated by the FAA or Nellis AFB Airfield Operations personnel in response to the FAA Form 7460-1 submittal.

1.10.6 AIRFIELD CONTROLLED AREA RESTRICTIONS:

1.10.6.1 The airfield controlled area is defined as all the areas on and adjacent to airfield features, within a flightline perimeter fence, the flightline side of facilities, or as otherwise defined in specific project documents.

1.10.6.2 CONTROLLED AREA ESCORTS: The Contractor shall provide his own escorts with appropriate security clearance & badges required for work in controlled areas at Nellis AFB and Creech AFB. The Contractor & Subcontractor employees shall be accompanied by their escort at all times in the controlled area jobsites. Line badge areas numbers required are: Nellis AFB – 4 & 20;

Creech AFB – 8. These escorts will be required to obtain a temporary flightline license from the respective Airfield Operations office. Radio contact with the Airfield Control Tower and Security Forces BDOC will be made before entry, monitored while in the controlled area and contacted at departure from the controlled area. Possible escorts may include active duty or retired military or DOD civilian personnel who possess the appropriate clearance and badges and are familiar with the controlled areas and its restrictions.

1.10.6.3 Aircraft and emergency fire department vehicles always have the right of way.

Construction personnel, vehicles and equipment must yield to taxiing aircraft at all taxiway crossing points.

1.10.6.4 The Contractor must only use designated taxiway crossing points, unless otherwise directed.

1.10.6.5 Runways must be cleared of equipment and personnel and be operationally ready within five minutes in the case of In-Flight Emergencies (IFEs), unless the runway is physically unable to accept aircraft. No contractor vehicles, equipment, or personnel shall be on or crossing any active https://oeaaa.faa.gov/oeaaa/external/portal.jsp runway, except during construction period closures as outlined above or when clearance is requested from and granted by the control tower. This must be coordinated through Nellis Contracting and Civil Engineering to the control tower.

1.10.6.6 When performing work on the runway and/or taxiways, the Contractor will be issued a hand held radio by the government in order to be able to communicate with the airfield control tower. The on-site project manager shall be expected to continuously monitor the airfield frequency.

1.10.6.7 Unless authorized by the Contracting Officer, no contractor vehicles, equipment or personnel shall cross the painted red security lines located at various locations on the Airfield.

Security Police are authorized to use deadly force in such breaches of security.

1.10.6.8 Other airfield contracts may be underway at the same time as this contract, and therefore the contractors may have to share haul routes, and work in the proximity of one another.

1.10.6.9 The Contractor may be required to cease project operations on the airfield during In Flight Emergencies (IFEs) or as directed by the Installation Commander. These delays typically are for one to two hours at a time. Every effort will be made by Base Operations, Civil Engineering, and the Contracting Office to minimize all potential delays and to inform the Contractor as early as possible of such delays so that critical work can be effectively scheduled around such events. For bidding purposes, assume work stoppages will occur minimally.

1.10.6.10 All contractor personnel shall be briefed by Base Operations prior to being allowed to drive out onto the airfield. Assume the runway on which the Contractor is scheduled to work will be closed to normal aircraft traffic or shall have one end closed by using a displaced threshold.

However, the Contractor shall clear the runway as directed by the tower for IFE’s or for other circumstances. Assume one occurrence per day on average. Flying activity is minimal on weekends.

The Contractor will have to clear the runway as directed by the tower for inbound and outbound flights.

1.11 COORDINATING AND SCHEDULING

1.11.2.4 In order to assist in evaluating the AF3064, as well as the progress of construction, the contractor shall supplement the AF3064 with a Schedule of Values worksheet which will identify each sub-element of work along with its dollar and percentage values of the project work. A "network analysis system" may be used to supplement the proposed progress schedule.

1.11.3 Progress Reports: The report shall be accomplished on and in accordance with the instructions pertaining to AF Form 3065 (AF3065), Contract Progress Report, and as specified herein.

1.11.3.1 Progress Reports shall be submitted weekly by close of business on the Monday following completion of the previous work period.
