Biosecurity for Construction Contracts Invasive species can be purposefully or inadvertently moved with construction equipment, personal protective equipment and hand tools, foot traffic, vehicles and vessels, raw construction materials, and packing materials. Invasive species can become pests and affect the economy, ecology, and human health.

It is critically important to be aware of ways to prevent the movement of invasive species and implement best management practices. The Contractor shall take all practicable measures to prevent introduction or spread of invasive species in association with contract performance, including importation of supplies, equipment or personnel and movement of supplies, equipment, or personnel between locations. At a minimum, all activities shall comply with U.S. and host nation biosecurity laws and regulations, shall include 100 percent inspection of equipment and supplies.

In addition, the Contractor shall:

a. Comply with all necessary inspections of raw construction materials, equipment, and vehicles for invasive and pest species prior to entering of the project site and prior to moving equipment offsite. The Contractor is responsible for any cleaning or inspection fees.

b. Non-native invasive species can be inadvertently moved with construction equipment, Personal protective equipment, hand tools, foot traffic, vehicles, vessels, raw construction materials, and packing materials.

c. Conduct vehicle washdown and inspection for soil and other material to prevent the inadvertent movement of invasive species from the project site to other locations. Establish appropriate facilities that comply with all environmental laws and regulations, and promptly take corrective or preventative actions for noncompliance. Include these details in a biosecurity/Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) plan and environmental briefs.

d. Submit a biosecurity/HACCP Plan, prepared in accordance with USFWS HACCP Manual for all imported equipment and imported construction materials and supplies. The HACCP plan must address, as a minimum, the identification and control of invasive and non-native species in construction equipment and construction materials and supplies.

e. Implement and update the HACCP plan accordingly to reduce the risk of spreading invasive species. The HACCP development team should include at least two members, one member with biological expertise with invasive species and one member from the project team who has a clear understanding of the project activities and requirements.
