For work to be accomplished at the "Gov't Site", the Government may direct these labor hours to be performed at the Government site or full-time telework at a contractor approved location where the Government provides the same workstation and materials that are provided at a Government site.

Telework is a work arrangement that allows a contractor employee to perform work, during any part of regular, paid hours, at an alternative worksite (e.g., home). Notwithstanding the requirement for onsite work as stated in paragraph

4.2 herein, the Government may request the contractor implement telework procedures for certain positions and/or under certain conditions; therefore, the contractor must have established telework policies and agreements in place with their employees. Upon contract award, a copy of the contractor's telework policies and a sample employee agreement must be submitted to the Contracting

Officer for review.

During times of telework, the contractor is wholly responsible for their employees and shall ensure they are productive and are in compliance with security and safety requirements. The contractor shall provide necessary hardware and/or IT equipment needed for employees to perform their duties in a telework environment other than Government provided laptops and Skype equipment. During periods of telework, contractor employees may occasionally be required to enter the Government facility for classified meetings or work.

Telework of contractor employees shall not result in increased cost to the

Government. Contractor telework under this contract falls into three general categories:

1. Regular/Recurring Telework. Examples of situations when this may be appropriate are when an employee is located at a geographic location outside of the commuting area of the Government work location or when workspace at the Government facility is unavailable.

2. Situational Telework. Situational or infrequent work done at an alternate work location may be implemented at the contractor's discretion to meet short-term requirements. Examples of situations when situational telework may be appropriate are when an employee needs to complete discrete portions of projects or work assignments, recovery from an injury, or when office space is unavailable due to renovations.

3. Unscheduled Telework. Unscheduled telework serves as a means for MDA to continue operations and maintain productivity during an emergency event involving inclement weather or other emergency situations that may result in the closure or restricted access to Government installations and/or MDA facilities. Unscheduled telework is only authorized when a Government official declares an installation or facility closure/restriction that impacts the contractor's ability to perform onsite work. During periods of extended, unscheduled telework, the Contracting Officer will provide additional guidance regarding contractor activities during the event.

4.2. Work Schedule (to include holidays and installation closures)
