Badges will not be electronically coded for any module or controlled by the Advance Entry Control System (AECS), nor will the individual be granted escort authority. If any other areas are required, the badge will be issued only upon completion of the NAC.

5. Security Forces personnel will verify the identity and authorization of each Contractor employee requesting entry to the installation or restricted area, and may conduct searches of any hand-carried item, container, or vehicle used by the Contractor under this contract.

6. The Contractor shall absorb all costs associated with delays at the installation entry points, restricted area entry points, or any other locations affected by security entry/circulation control measures.

D. Escorts: The Contractor shall be responsible for providing their own security escorts for the duration of this contra ct (including option years). Security escort personnel shall comply with the provisions detailed in "Circulation Control," paragraph 1.3-C in this specification.

E. Contractor Vehicles: All Contractor vehicle operators are required to obtain vehicle entry passes for any vehicles operating on SAFB at Building 15, Pass and ID Facility. The Contractor will be required to present proof of insurance, drivers license, vehicle registration, and other documentation as needed to obtain vehicle entry pass. The company name shall be prominently displayed on all vehicles operated on SAFB.

F. Information Access: Contractor access to classified information is prohibited. When Contractor performance occurs within restricted or controlled areas, or within close physical proximity of classified information, Contractor compliance with various levels of security instructions is required.

G. Government Project Inspector: Government Project Inspector will be assigned to each project and will resolve all security issues/problems between the Contractor and Security Forces.

H. Communications Security (COMSEC) Monitoring: Contractor personnel are advised that any time they place a call or receive a call from a DoD organization, they are subject to COMSEC procedures, such as monitoring. All communications with DoD organizations are subject to COMSEC review.

Telecommunications networks are continually subject to intercept by unfriendly intelligence organizations. The DoD has authorized the military departments to conduct COMSEC monitoring and recording of telephone calls originating from or termination of DoD organizations. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring all contractor employees are informed of the provisions of this paragraph.

I. Free Zones: Free zones are created inside restricted areas when construction projects make normal circulation controls inappropriate. When possible the Contractor will create a free zone corridor between the restricted area entry control point and the project location. If a safe corridor is not possible Contractor security escort personnel will provide escort to and from the project location.

Projects requiring a free zone must be coordinated with the 50 SFS/SFOS at least 6 months prior to project start date.

J. Right to Deny Entry: The Installation Commander or designated representative reserves the right to deny entry to any Contractor whose NAC is unfavorable, and the right to terminate the entry authorization of any Contractor employee upon disclosure of information which indicates the individual’s continued entry to SAFB is not in the best interest of national security. Additionally, SCHRIEVER AIR FORCE BASE SECTION 01 14 13 - PAGE 3 the violation of or any deviation from established security procedures by the Contractor’s employee may result in the confiscation of restricted area badge and the denial of future entry to SAFB.
