1.3 Ground Rules and Constraints

1. 3.1 Persons Excluded from the Premises-The Contractor shall not allow a person that has been banned by any authority from the premises to have access to terminal facilities, equipment, or other material related to terminal operations.

1.3.2 Persons with Restricted Duties-The Contractor shall not allow a person restricted by any authority from certain equipment or areas to operate that equipment or enter those areas.

2.0 SECURITY

2.3 Personnel working IAW this PWS who do not require IA administrative privileges/ system monitoring capability but do require access to Non-Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (NIPRNET) applications, must successfully complete a National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI). Favorable NACI investigation results must be posted in the Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) before a contractor is allowed access to the NIPRNET.

2.5 Once the contract is awarded, names of the contractor employees needing a CAC to specifically access and use Government automated systems i.e. Transportation Finance Management System (TFMS) as required by the Government, will be submitted to SDDC for vetting through JPAS to ensure investigative and clearance requirements have been obtained before the start date of the contract. This will be completed prior to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) / Trusted Agent (TA) submission of contractor employees’ names for the Common Access Card(s) (CAC) in the DoD Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS). If a contractor’s employee does not have the appropriate investigative or security clearance requirement the contractor’s employee will be denied the ability to work in support of this PWS and will not be loaded into the TASS. Contractor employees will be loaded in TASS and will have an expiration date on their CAC for the initial contract period.

Upon approval of each option period a new CAC will be issued with new dates for the subsequent option period only.

2. 6 The contractor shall ensure the roles/privileges assigned to contractor employees on the Government computing platforms are limited to the roles/privileges essential to that individual’s performance of his/her assignments.

4.1.1 Detention and minimum time, computed to the nearest 5 minute multiple, are payable to the contractor, in lieu of commodity or extra labor (XL) rates specified elsewhere in this contract, at the applicable man-hour rates, subject to the following:

4.1.2 When detention occurs during a commodity operation, the Contractor shall absorb each detention of fifteen

(15) minutes or less. The government shall pay the Contractor at detention rates for persons or gangs, including clerks and equipment operators (drivers) for each detention in excess of fifteen minutes including the first fifteen minutes thereof.

4.1.2.1 Detention shall not be authorized for any part of a gang that is not required on commodity operations or when certain classes of labor on commodity operations are required to stand by because of another class of labor performing a commodity operation. For example, commodity vessel load is inclusive of loading and lashing cargo.

Gangs conducting the load & lash are inclusive of each other under one commodity rate; therefore, drivers or lashers during the process of load and lash may be waiting for the other to perform or complete their job. Neither party will be placed on detention while the other is performing commodity work.

4.1.2.2 Differentials: The commodity rates set forth in Schedule 1 are based on work performed during the first shift (day shift) from Monday through Friday. Work performed during other shifts shall be compensated by the commodity rate plus the applicable shift differential rates identified in Schedule 2 for each man in the gang. Extra Labor should be compensated as identified in Schedule 3.

4.1.2.3 Extra Labor: Extra Labor is defined as work not covered in the standard commodity rates. Extra Labor will be compensated by the hourly rates identifier in Schedule 3 for each man in the gang.

4.1.3 Whenever detention occurs prior to or during extra labor operations, the Government shall pay the Contractor on a detention rate basis for the time of each detention. In the event part of a gang is required to perform an extra labor operation, the balance of the gang standing by shall be paid for at detention rates. In the event certain classes of labor are required to standby because of another class of labor performing an extra labor operation, such certain classes of labor shall be paid at detention rates.

4.1.4 In accordance with applicable collective bargaining agreements, minimum time shall be payable to the Contractor when work fails to materialize or when work is completed prior to the minimum time and shall not be payable (i) for checkers working in conjunction with longshoremen until completion of the longshoreman commodity activity; and (ii) for any part of a gang not required on a commodity activity. For example, rail unload operation is inclusive of unlash and unload of cargo under one commodity rate. Lashers finish the unlash portion are still on commodity until the drivers are complete with unload and stage to point of rest. During rail load, after drivers complete the load, they remain on commodity until lashers have completed all lashing. While one portion of the gang is on commodity, all are listed as commodity.

4.1.5 The Contractor must obtain pre approval to work overtime authorized by the COR.
