JAXPORT reserves the right to award this contract to the lowest, responsive, responsible bidder, whose bid is fully conforming to the requirements of the bid documents.

Nevertheless, JAXPORT reserves the right to waive informalities and minor irregularities in any bid, to reject any or all bids, and to accept the bid, which in its judgment, will be in the best interest of JAXPORT. JAXPORT will be the sole judge of which proposal will be in its best interest, and its decision will be final.

JAXPORT reserves the right to award this contract to the bidder offering the lowest price consistent with meeting all specifications, terms, conditions, and delivery requirements set forth on this bid. No award will be made until all necessary inquiries have been made into the responsibility of the lowest conforming bidder and JAXPORT is satisfied that the lowest bidder met all the requirements, is qualified and has the necessary organization, capital and resources required to perform the work under the terms and conditions of the contract.

21. SECURITY IMPLEMENTATION PROCEDURE

JAXPORT’s rigid security standards include the Federal Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) program, which is administered by the Transportation Security Administration. TWIC is required for unescorted access to all JAXPORT terminals.

It is your responsibility as the Prime Contractor to ensure that all of your employees and sub-contract personnel working for your company have been properly screened and credentialed with TWIC, and the JAXPORT Business Purpose Credential.

Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC)

The TWIC is required for all Prime Contractor/Sub-Contractor employees working on the job site for this Contract. This credential is for all personnel requiring unescorted access to secure-restricted areas of Maritime Transportation Security Act (MTSA)-regulated facilities. TSA will issue a tamper-resistant “Smart Card” containing the person’s biometric (fingerprint template) to allow for a positive link between the card and the individual.

The fee for obtaining each TWIC® is $125.25, and the credential is valid for five years.

The pre-enrollment process can be initiated online at https://universalenroll.dhs.gov/ or at an IdentoGo TSA’s Universal Enrollment Service Center.

Individuals without TWIC may not enter restricted areas without having an individual who holds a TWIC as a side-by-side companion.

Significant Designations on Terminals

The terms “secure area” and “restricted area” do not mean the same thing. A secure area is defined as “the area over which an owner/operator has implemented security measures for access control.” A restricted area is defined as” the infrastructure or locations identified in an area, vessel or facility security assessment or by the operator that require limited access and a higher degree of security protection.”

Entry through the main gates at Blount Island Terminal (BIT) constitutes entry into a secure area; tenant-controlled properties are designated as restricted areas per their individual FSPs.

Entry into the main gates at Talleyrand Marine Terminal (TMT) and Dames Point

Marine Terminal constitutes entry into a restricted area.

Entry into the cruise terminal provisions gate, crew gate or terminal doors constitutes entry into a restricted area.

Escorts

Truck drivers, vendors, labor may not conduct escorts. The only exception will be given to the ILA President, Vice President and Business Agent when escorting for purposes other than labor.

Truck Drivers: Truck drivers at the gate with no TWIC and/or no escort into a restricted area, will be turned around and will be assisted by security traffic control to safely park until such time as the escort arrives. Truck drivers are responsible for making contact with their approved escort; JAXPORT security is not responsible for arranging or providing escorts. Escort must assume written custody of the driver. For cargo trucks, escorts may be in a vehicle providing the escort is able to visually observe the escorted at all times. This policy DOES NOT apply to POVs.

Contractors: Contractors without a JAXPORT badge and TWIC to access the port will be under escort as defined in this policy.

Contract Security (performing security duties): Must have a JAXPORT credential and a TWIC badge and may not be escorted.

Hired Escorts: Hired escorts would be commercial companies providing escort services for tenants in restricted areas; they must be sponsored by a tenant and may be vetted and approved with additional training and an administrative fee.

Vendors: Vendors without a TWIC will be turned away unless they have a dedicated & approved TWIC escort.

Visitors: JAXPORT visitors without JAXPORT credentials may only visit five times in a 90-day period; this policy will remain in effect. Visitors should be vetted at

R/10/2013 Jacksonville Port Authority Page No.: SIB-16

EQ-2039A SUPPLEMENTAL INSTRUCTIONS TO BIDDERS

Vessel Crewmembers: When a vessel visits a JAXPORT terminal, the vessel’s crew commonly needs to work in the immediate vicinity of their vessel (handling lines, taking draft readings, etc.). Some vessel crew may not have a TWIC, or they may not be U.S. Merchant Mariners. Although the dock, pier, or platform the vessel is moored to, is defined as a restricted area. There is no requirement to escort any of the vessel crewmembers that do not have a TWIC while they work alongside their vessel. The area of dock directly adjacent to the vessel and extending in shore 18 feet from the vessel shall be designated the Crewmember Confinement Area (CCA).

Vessel crewmembers may be escorted by JAXPORT approved escorts provided they complete the and escort under no more than a 1 to 5 ratio (excluding labor, contractors, and vendors). Prior to and upon completion of the escort, they are to contact the JAXPORT SOC at 904.357.3360.

Vessels, in coordination with the calling facility, shall ensure all crewmembers do not access Restricted Areas without approved escort. Any crewmember found outside the Crew Confinement Area (CCA) without a TWIC or approved escort may be considered a security breach under the JAXPORT FSP.

Seamen Center workers, ship’s agents, etc who may pick up crewmembers outside the CCA must have TWIC Escort forms on hand and deliver them to the nearest facility gate once completed.

New Hire Provision: If a new hire moves from a secured to a restricted access area, they require side-by-side escort by a TWIC holder at all times. If an individual is a newly hired vessel or facility employee who has applied for but not yet received a TWIC, the owner/operator may grant the individual accompanied access to secure areas of the vessel or facility. This accompanied access may be granted for a period of up to 30 consecutive calendar days from the date of TWIC enrollment, after notification through Homeport that the individual has passed the name-based check. Accompanied access may be extended for an additional 30 days by the local COTP if TSA has not yet issued the new hire’s TWIC.

Company/tenant/operator is responsible for reporting and verifying new hires via Homeport.

This provision be used to grant temporary accompanied access to an individual being hired as a CSO, VSO, or FSO or any individual being hired to perform security as a primary duty.

Rail Access
