Contractor requests for exceptions to the below requirements and procedures shall be addressed to the Contracting Officer/designee who will obtain an approval or disapproval from the installation commander who has the final authority on access issues.

2. EMPLOYEE LISITING AND BADGES: The contractor (company representative also known as the site superintendent) shall provide an updated GC Form 698, Contractor Employee Notice, listing each employee that will require access to prior to contract start.

The badges are government property and must be retrieved and turned in upon completion of the contract. These badges must be presented at the gate for entry and displayed on the front of an outer garment and above the waist with the photograph visible at all times within the fenced area. The badge may be worn on a necklace/chain provided the badge remains visible outside the outer garment, above the waist, and the picture is shown outward.
