1.0.3 Government / Contractor Relationship

(a) The services to be delivered under this Contract are non-personal services and the parties recognize and agree that no employer-employee relationship exists or will exist under the

Contract between the Government and the Contractor's personnel. Therefore, it is in the best interest of the Government to provide both parties a full understanding of their respective obligations.

(b) The Contractor employees shall identify themselves as Contractor personnel by introducing themselves or being introduced as Contractor personnel and displaying distinguishable badges or other visible identification for meetings with Government personnel. In addition, Contractor personnel shall appropriately identify themselves as Contractor employees in telephone conversations and in formal and informal written correspondence

(c) Contractor personnel under this Contract shall not engage in any of the inherently

Governmental functions listed at FAR Subpart 7.5 or DFARS Subpart 207.5.

(d) Employee Relationship:

1) The services to be performed under this Contract do not require the Contractor or its personnel to exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the Government. Rather the

Contractor's personnel will act and exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the

4.0 DATA REQUIREMENTS

Not applicable.

5.0 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

5.1 In cases where maintenance is needed during the rental period, the contractor shall be escorted onto the site, observed while they perform the work, and escorted off the site. For the deliveries and pickup of the forklifts, the contractor will not be required to be escorted on-site.

The contractor shall follow the procedures of section 5.5 to ensure proper base access to perform the delivery.

5.2 Escorted visit. Escorted visits are required for any person who is not assigned to

NNSY/NFPC and/or does not have a valid clearance. Visitors will be escorted at all time by an

NFPC employee and no exposure to any classified open storage areas or material. Requests for escorted access must be submitted 5 working days prior to arrival. If it is service or maintenance that needs to be done or an emergency the request needs to be submitted immediately in order to allow for ample time for proper vetting of individual/individuals requesting access.

The requesting NFPC code/shop will coordinate the visit and verify proof of US citizenship. The responsible code shall provide escort during the contractor’s visit.

Acceptable documents for proof of Citizenship are;

1. US Birth Certificate (original)

2. US Voters registration

3. US Passport

4. (Home Land security), Transportation Workers Identification Credential (TWIC)

5. Naturalization paperwork

NFPC code requiring visit must request for the contractor to submit a visit request to CNRMA on their Company letterhead. Requests are required to include: SECNAV 5512

Code 1122 will review request and when acceptable notify requesting NFPC code/shop to arrange visit.

5.3 Contractor Vehicle Parking: (OPNAV 5530.14E) All contractor commercial vehicles must be visually inspected prior to entry into any NFPC buildings and are subject to random inspections anywhere on the compound. While on the compound, vehicles must visibly display vehicle parking pass (contact C1122). Vehicles must clearly display an authorized company sign or logo including a company phone number. Vehicles must only be allowed in the compound for transportation of contractors' tools, parts, and materials to and from the work site with the exception of MILCON scope projects. Vehicles must be registered to the company and not to an individual. Parking of POV's is available at “S” lot which is approximately one mile from the work site. Contractor shall ensure that their vehicles, including delivery trucks, have valid and current vehicle registration and insurance upon arrival to NFPC. Non-valid and outdated or missing vehicle registration and insurance shall result in denied facility access requiring the

Contractor to reschedule delivery immediately at the contractor’s expense.

5.4 Camera cell phones are not allowed in areas where NAVSEA work is being performed.

Camera cell phones are PROHIBITED:

In the CAA (Controlled Access Area), In Restricted Areas (Open Storage Confidential Areas, Secure Rooms, Vaults, etc.) and any location (office, trailer, shop, work area, etc.) where

NAVSEA business is conducted.

Cell phones with the camera features disabled are no longer considered to be “camera” cell phones, and none of the restrictions for camera cell phones apply.

- “Disabled” means physical removal/destruction of the lens (drilling out, for instance) and filling the void with a permanent epoxy.

o The “acceptance criteria” is that it must be visually obvious to untrained personnel that the camera feature has been disabled. Accordingly, claiming that the camera feature or function has been “deprogrammed”, “inactivated” (or similar) would NOT be acceptable, since this cannot be readily verified by untrained personnel. Also, the camera feature or function could be reprogrammed or re-activated after inspection.

Cell phone owners should consider locations into which they intend/desire to carry cellphones before permanently modifying them. Modifications to cell phones are solely the decision and the responsibility of the owner.

Personnel camera cell phones are permitted in Personally Owned Vehicles parked outside of the

Controlled Access Area. (General parking lots across the street)

Personal camera cell phones are permitted in areas outside of the CAA and where Naval Sea

Systems Command (NAVSEA) business of a sensitive nature is NOT conducted.

This means that camera cell phones are PROHIBITED in Secure Rooms (regardless of where any of these areas are located), and in any meeting, discussion or forum where NAVSEA business of a sensitive nature is carried on.

Cellphone lockers/boxes will be placed at the entrance to facilities, or as close to the entrance as possible in order to facilitate this policy.

*******CAA-Controlled Access Area is anywhere within the fenceline*******

Not applicable. The contractor shall be escorted onto the site, observed while they perform the work, and escorted off the site.

5.5. The contractor shall adhere to the facility/base access guidance per the following website:

https://www.cnic.navy.mil/regions/cnrma/om/contractor_verification_system/faqs.html

5.6. The contractor shall ensure that only contractor employees who meet the security requirements stated below perform under this contract at the Government site (e.g. delivery drivers and passengers, etc.). The contractor shall propose and maintain a list of employees whom meet these requirements and be willing to submit this list to the Government, along with the necessary documentation to prove they meet them (e.g. the results of a contractor conducted background check, etc.), for the Government’s security vetting, to include any Government background check, and approval. Once vetted and approved, a list of approved contractor employees must be maintained for the entire period of performance of the contract (i.e. propose new employees, replace existing employees or provide updates to existing employees’ records, as necessary). A minimum of two employees, primary and backup, should be cleared by the

Government to perform the necessary functions under this contract (e.g. proposed drivers of a delivery vehicle) throughout the entire period of performance of the contract. Contractors must have the ability to be granted access by ensuring current documentation is available at the submission of their proposal to allow background checks for any proposed driver and passenger under the following criteria:

Felony conviction of any type within 10 years, or felony arrest that has not been adjudicated yet (includes "deferred findings").

Misdemeanor conviction or on-base arrest within 5 years, for any of the following types of crimes (includes "deferred findings"): Crimes of violence, sexual assault, larceny, drugs, or a habitual offender.

On the Sex Offender Registry.

Is barred from any Navy installation.

If a contractor’s employee is denied entry at delivery due to inaccurate or outdated personal and/or vehicle documentation, the Government is absolved of any costs accrued as a result of the denial and the contractor is still pledged to fulfill the contract requirements. Failure to fulfill the contract requirement may result in a termination for default pursuant to FAR 49.4.

Government oversight requires that a Government employee be present in the same building/facility whenever Contractor employee(s) are performing work under this contract.

6.1.4 Early Dismissal and Closure of Government Facilities

When a Government facility is closed and/or early dismissal of Federal employees is directed due to severe weather, security threat, or a facility related problem that prevents personnel from working, onsite Contractor personnel regularly assigned to work at that facility should follow the same reporting and/or departure directions given to Government personnel. The Contractor shall not direct charge to the contract for time off, but shall follow its own company policies regarding leave. Non-essential Contractor personnel, who are not required to remain at or report to the facility, shall follow their parent company policy regarding whether they should go/stay home or report to another company facility. Subsequent to an early dismissal and during periods of inclement weather, onsite Contractors should monitor radio and television announcements before departing for work to determine if the facility is closed or operating on a delayed arrival basis.

When Federal employees are excused from work due to a holiday or a special event (that is unrelated to severe weather, a security threat, or a facility related problem), on site Contractors will continue working established work hours or take leave in accordance with parent company policy. Those Contractors who take leave shall not direct charge the non-working hours to the contract. Contractors are responsible for predetermining and disclosing their charging practices for early dismissal, delayed openings, and closings in accordance with the FAR, applicable cost accounting standards, and company policy. Contractors shall follow their disclosed charging practices during the contract period of performance, and shall not follow any verbal directions to the contrary. The PCO will make the determination of cost allowability for time lost due to facility closure in accordance with FAR, applicable Cost Accounting Standards, and the

Contractor's established accounting policy.
