1.2 RAPIDGate:

(a) MCAS Cherry Point NC has implemented a Contractor-managed security service, RAPIDGate ™. As per the Commanding Officer’s letter dated 24 November 2015 (Attachment 09), all contractors, subcontractors, vendors, suppliers, and service providers requring access to MCAS Cherry Point for a period of more than 30 calendar days must be enrolled in the RAPIDGate Program in accordance with RAPIDGate Program Enrollment Information (included in the Commanding Officer’s letter). During the enrollment process, vendors may obtain a one-time 30-day pass followed by 4-day passes until enrollment is complete.

(c) All gates will be open to RAPIDGate registered Contractor personnel.

(d) Under the RAPIDGate program, Contractor personnel are vetted through a series of national and local record checks to determine whether they meet MCAS Cherry Point’s criteria for access. The determination of whether to authorize a pass (badge) is made by the Government. The badges have Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) capability, and will be scanned upon entry onto the installation. Contractor personnel departure from the installation will be recorded by passive RFID receivers. Contactor personnel who have been screened and are determined to be eligible for access will be required to self register at kiosks located at the Main Gate.

(e) The cost of the RAPIDGate program can be found on the RAPIDGate website, as referenced by the Commanding Offer’s letter.

(f) Contractor personnel who are issued a Common Access Card (CAC) as a requirement for their positions (specifically access to the Navy Marine Corps Intranet), do not need to participate in RapidGate.

4.0 VERIFICATION

4.1 Contractor Performance Measures. The Contractor shall conduct on-site meetings with the Government to demonstrate that they are meeting the goals of this contract and document using the Water Analysis and Service Reports. The Contractor shall conduct monthly meetings (mid-month) and present a formal written report indicating the current condition of each system based on data from the previous month. Authorization for payment will be withheld until all reports are submitted as required. The Contractor shall provide three (3) copies of the report to the Government one (1) week prior to conducting each meeting. The report shall include, as a minimum, the following information on each system reported:

a. Water Analysis and Service Report data for the report period.

b. The Contractor’s estimate of system condition in meeting the goals of this contract, using the 0 to 5 point measure defined below. The Contractor shall rate each system’s condition in one (1) point increments (i.e. 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5).

5 points OL, HCL, CCL, CCLG - Water analysis readings on the system were stable and in the mid-range of the limits during the month prior to the report. Adequate amounts of chemicals were maintained in the system throughout the month.

OL - The tower is free of biological growth. The tower basin is free of sediment and debris. The tower packing and downspouts are clean with no obvious sign of mineral deposits.

CCLG – Glycol percentage is maintained at between 75% to 100% of the original glycol percentage measured as per Section 3.3.1.1 c

(NOTE: For glycol rating ONLY. If original glycol measurement at the first measurement is read as 40% and in the fifth month glycol percentage is read as 33% then calculate as 33/40*100 = 83% and the grade is 5 points)

3 points OL, HCL, CCL, CCLG - Water analysis readings varied slightly or were approaching the limits during the month prior to the report. Chemicals almost ran out before being replenished.

OL - The tower has a small amount of biological growth. The tower basin has a small amount of sediment and debris. The tower packing and downspouts have a small amount of mineral deposits.

CCLG – Glycol percentage is maintained at between 25% to 75% of the original glycol percentage measured as per Section 3.3.1.1 c

(NOTE: For glycol rating ONLY. If original glycol measurement at the first measurement is read as 40% and in the fifth month glycol percentage is read as 29% then calculate as 29/40*100 = 73% and the grade is 3 points)

0 points OL, HCL, CCL, CCLG - Water analysis readings varied significantly and/or were beyond the limits during the month prior to the report. Chemicals ran out before being replenished.

OL - The tower distribution headers are covered in biological growth. The tower basin has significant buildup of sediment and debris. The tower packing and downspouts are obstructed by significant mineral deposits.

CCLG – Glycol percentage is less than 25% of the original glycol percentage measured as per Section 3.3.1.1 c.

(NOTE: For glycol rating ONLY. If original glycol measurement at the first measurement is read as 40% and in the fifth month glycol percentage is read as 9% then calculate as 9/40*100 = 23% and the grade is 0 points)

c. Explanation for each system rated below “3 points”, along with changes the Contractor has made or will make to improve the rating of the system. If the Contractor believes the Government caused a system to fall below the “3 point” rating, then the Contractor shall provide specific documentation on the system indicating what the Government did or failed to do.

d. Statement that the areas immediately adjacent to the system “are” or “are not” clean as defined in Section 3.0 of this contract.

e. Statement that applicable Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), for each chemical used to treat the system, “are” or “are not” posted near the chemical feed equipment.

4.2 Field Inspections. Immediately after the Contractor conducts his scheduled meeting with the Government, the Government will randomly select two (2) systems for field inspection with the Contractor to confirm the Contractor’s rating of the system. If the Government determines from the inspection that the Contractor’s rating was too high, the Government and Contractor shall mutually agree to a new rating for the system.
