6.2 Additional Contractor Responsibilities:

6.2.1 Equipment: The Contractor shall be responsible for providing the proper attire, uniforms and personal protective equipment (PPE) for its employees. Hi-Viz Camelbaks for High Risk Training, personal protective equipment (in accordance with range regulations), ground vehicle transportation, specifically, four (4x4) King-cab pickup trucks capable of transporting 4 passengers and training aids, fuel, computers, printer and independent internet access for the Contractor’s personnel.

6.2.2 Conduct of High Risk Training: The Contractor shall execute training in accordance with established safety guidelines and directives. The Contractor is responsible for adhering to ORM guidelines and ensuring they review the ORM worksheet for each training evolution that is identified as HRT. During live fire evolutions in which the Contractor is taking an active role in training, the Contractor will attend safety briefs delivered by the Range Safety Officer (RSO).

The Contractor will be held to the same range standards as all users. Safety violations will not be tolerated and, depending on severity, may result in immediate dismissal from a training event and/or breach of contract.

6.2.3 Conducting Drug Screenings to ensure drug-free environment: Due to the fact that this contract revolves around the execution of HRT, it is imperative that the Contractor ensures the Government that it is actively taking steps to prevent, deter, and identify any cases of illegal drug use or unauthorized alcohol consumption. Specifically, the Contractor must:

(a) Conduct Urinalysis Screenings: All Contractor personnel must meet the requirements contained in DoD Instruction 1010.09 (DoD Civilian Employees Drug Abuse Testing Program).

The Contractor is responsible for providing the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) with the general results of a Urinalysis Screening completed within 30 days prior to contractor personnel reporting for duty. The pre-employment urinalysis screening shall be conducted using an Enzyme Immunoassay (EIA) screening technique or equivalent. This process tests urine samples using an automated chemical analyzer. If the test produces a positive result, the urine sample should be retested. If the second test also produces a positive result, a Gas Chromatography or Mass Spectrometry test must be performed to identify the specific substance.

The Government reserves the right to request a new urinalysis screening on contractor personnel to determine fitness for duty. Urinalysis screenings are the responsibility of the Contractor.

(b) Promote a Drug Free Environment: 1st EOTG periods of instruction are considered HRT. In order to ensure a safe training environment, the Government has a reasonable expectation for all contractors to be drug-free, as described in DoD Instruction 1010.09 (DoD Civilian Employees Drug Abuse Testing Program) at all times. Therefore, the Contractor is responsible for establishing internal procedures to ensure its employees are drug free. If the Government suspects a contractor employee is unfit to perform services, the 1st EOTG Branch OIC may relieve that employee from any HRT evolutions until such time as a medical service provider certifies the individual as fit for duty as outlined in BUMEDINST 6120.20B (Competence for Duty Examinations, Evaluations of Sobriety, and Other Bodily Views and Intrusions by Medical Personnel). This evaluation must be performed at Contractor’s expense.

(c) Alcohol Guidelines: The contractor shall not conduct any training while drunk or inebriated (defined as having a blood alcohol content (BAC) of .08 or greater). Additionally, the contractor shall not consume alcohol within 8 hours of any field training evolutions. The Government reserves the right to require the Contractor to relieve an employee from their duties in the event that they reasonably appear to be drunk. If the Contractor refutes this assessment, this Contractor must independently provide a BAC screening within a reasonable time, which shows the employee’s BAC is below .08.

(d) Ensure compliance with Lautenberg Act: The provisions of the Lautenberg Amendment to the Gun Control Act of 1968 make it illegal for anyone convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence to ship, transport, possess, or receive firearms or ammunition. This stipulation disqualifies any affected individual from performing instructional duties in accordance with this PWS. All Contractors will sign a statement which acknowledges that they understand the provisions and consequences of the Lautenberg Amendment, and that they have not been convicted of any covered offense. Additionally, in order to ensure that 1st EOTG complies with 18 U.S.C. § 922(s) (4), the contractor will attach a copy of a print-out from the National Crime Information Center (NCIC) supporting the Contractor’s statement. The DD Form 2760 may be used in lieu of a locally created statement. An Adobe eForm can be found at:

http://www.cnic.navy.mil/content/dam/cnic/cnrsw/NBVC/pdfs/about/10%20DD2760form.pdf

(e) Ensuring compliance with the Privacy Act of 1974: The Contractor may be in contact with data and information subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 (Title 5 of the U.S. Code Section 552a). The Contractor will ensure that contractors assigned to this contract understand and adhere to the requirements of the Privacy Act and to Department of Defense and Marine Corps regulations that implement the Privacy Act.

6.2.4 The Contractor will identify and safeguard data, information and reports accordingly. In addition, the Contractor will ensure Contractors are trained on properly identifying and handling data and information subject to the Privacy Act prior to commencing work.

All clothing items will be neat, clean, and presentable, with no rips, holes, fraying, or excessive fading.
