B. Time Restrictions for Performing Work: The Contractor will be permitted to perform construction work through the hours of 8:00 am and 4:30 PM Mondays through Fridays, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and Federal Holidays. Work performed other than in these periods of time will only be allowed after approval of the Contracting Officer following a 48 hour (72 hours for Sundays and Mondays) advance request.

C. Rapid Gate: In compliance with Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD12) Coast Guard Training Center (TRACEN) Cape May has a standardized entry protocol called the RAPIDGate Program for all vendors, suppliers, and contractors who require access to the Training Center to perform unclassified work for five (5) days or more.

1. The RAPIDGate Program, from Eid Passport, provides a standardized background check, identification badge and entry procedures for vendors, suppliers, and contractors that require access to TRACEN Cape May. Companies and individuals can register for the program at the TRACEN Security Office using the self-service RAPIDGate Registration Station. Based on the information collected the RAPIDGate Program runs a 10-year felony background screen, other criminal screens, validates the individual’s social security number, verifies that the individual is either a U.S. Citizen or is legally eligible to work in the United States. Upon passing the screening process, participants will be issued a personalized RAPIDGate identification badge that when verified by a security officer will allow the participant to enter TRACEN Cape May unescorted. To enroll see the guidelines below.

2. RAPIDGate Program Enrollment:

a. Enroll your company by calling Eid Passport at 877-RAPIDGATE (877-727-4342) and provide a TRACEN Cape May sponsor point of contact that includes a name, phone number, and email address. Once your request is received, final authorization to enroll in the RAPIDGate Program will be granted by the TRACEN Cape May Security Office.

3. Once your company has been approved for enrollment and paid the enrollment fee, instruct your employees who need access to TRACEN Cape May to register for the RAPIDGate Program using the self-service Registration Station in the TRACEN Security Office.

The Registration Station will capture the employees photograph and fingerprints for identity verification and badging during the application process. Subcontractor employees may register under the Prime Contractor’s company enrollment.

4. Once your company has approved each employee for participation, and paid the registration fee, the employee will undergo a background screen. Upon passing the screen, your employees will be contacted by TRACEN Cape May Security Office to pick up their personalized RAPIDGate Badge. The employees can show one form of identification from List A, or two forms of identification from List B when picking up their RAPIDGate Badge.

5. List A (One required if using this list)
