Discrepancies observed in the checklist or which may be found associated with the contractor's vehicles shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor to correct prior to shipment.

3.7.8 The Contractor shall be responsible for any costs associated with delays resulting from the

Contractor's failure to comply with statutory, regulatory, or contractual requirements; detention and demurrage charges will not apply as a result of any such delays.

3.7.9 The Contractor shall sign for and accept transport responsibility as the carrier as soon as each shipment is loaded on/in the vehicle. The Contractor shall ensure that recipients authorized to accept radioactive material have in their possession an up-to-date emergency response plan that includes actions required in the event of an accident.

The above recipients shall also have in their possession personnel dosimetry and radiation monitoring equipment to be utilized as required by the Contractor’s NRC or Agreement State license, emergency response plan, law, regulation, etc. The Contractor shall ensure that NNPP site approved routes for transport of radioactive material within the NNPP site are followed. The Contractor shall provide the NNPP site with off-site routes prior to each shipment, if requested. The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that routes meet the requirements of Title 49 CFR and applicable federal, state, and local regulations.

3.7.10 Prior to departing the NNPP site, the Contractor’s representative (i.e., broker (if required by the NNPP site)), shall sign a certification to the effect that they have received the listed radioactive material for transportation, certify for compliance with DOT regulations and that they are a designated representative of a licensee of the NRC or an agreement state, to receive such material and shall furnish the duly assigned license number.

3.7.11 Unless otherwise specified in the task order, the Contractor’s driver shall transport the material directly to the licensed disposal facility upon departure from the NNPP site. In addition, the driver shall notify the NNPP site POC (noted in the shipping papers) at the NNPP site making the shipment of any problems encountered, such as mechanical problems with the equipment, adverse weather conditions, or any other conditions which would result in a delay in delivering the material to the disposal site. Contractor personnel shall contact the COR and NNPP site personnel (as listed in the shipping paperwork) immediately of any delay in the shipment.

3.7.12 The Contractor must be capable of responding to emergencies that may occur during transportation of radioactive materials over public highways between the NNPP site and the radioactive waste disposal site. At a minimum the Contractor shall:

REQUIREMENTS FOR ACCESS TO NAVY INSTALLATIONS

Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC), has established the Defense Biometric Identification System, (DBIDS), a standardized process for granting unescorted access privileges to vendors, contractors, suppliers and service providers not otherwise entitled to the issuance of a Common Access Card (CAC) who seek access to and can provide justification to enter Navy installations and facilities. Participation in the DBIDS is not mandatory, and if the Contractor chooses to not participate, the Contractor's personnel will have to obtain daily passes, be subject to daily mandatory vehicle inspection, and will have limited access to the installation. The Government will not be responsible for any cost or lost time associated with obtaining daily passes or added vehicle inspections incurred by non-participants in the DBIDS. Alternatively, if the vendor so chooses, it may voluntarily elect to obtain long-term credentials through enrollment, registration, background vetting, screening, issuance of credentials, and electronic validation of credentials. Further information regarding DBIDS can be found at www.cnic.navy.mil/om/dbids.html NOTE: Bldg 276 TELEPHONE: 757-396-5815 (or 5095)
