WORK RESTRICTIONS

11/11

PART 1 GENERAL

Government approval is required for all submittals.

1.2 CONTRACTOR ACCESS AND USE OF PREMISES

1.2.1 Activity Regulations

Ensure that Contractor personnel employed on the Activity become familiar with and obey Activity regulations including safety, fire, traffic and security regulations. Keep within the limits of the work and avenues of ingress and egress. Wear hard hats in designated areas. Do not enter any restricted areas unless required to do so and until cleared for such entry.

Mark Contractor equipment for identification.

1.2.1.1 Subcontractors and Personnel Contacts

Provide a list of the Contractor and subcontractors including addresses and telephone numbers for use in the event of an emergency. As changes occur and additional information becomes available, correct and change the information contained in previous lists.

1.2.1.2 Identification Badges and Installation Access

Two-step process:

A visit request is required to visit NUWC. The preferred method is JPAS. If the company does not have JPAS, then they must fax or email a visit request with the information required in the visit request form. You may also use AMRDEC SAFE to send your visitor request(https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/SAFE/).

Incomplete visits will be rejected. There is a minimum of 3 business days to process.

Naval Station requires one of the following in order to enter the base, along with your NUWC visitor badge:

(a) CAC card

(b) DBIDS card

(c) Retired Military ID

To obtain a DBIDS card a vetting spreadsheet is required and can be acquired from Naval Station to conduct the vetting. You will need a DBIDS card if you do not have the other required IDs. The spreadsheet should be submitted to Visitor Control (group email is nuwc_npt_access_control@navy.mil). The other option is to use AMRDEC SAFE (https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/SAFE/).It is certified toprotect Privacy Act information. You must use our individual emails(keith.p.arnold@navy.mil;Deanna.l.monell.ctr@navy.mil;gina.fleming.ctr@ navy.mil; robin.spradling.ctr@navy.mil). DBIDS requests are consilidated and

Section 01 14 00 Page 2 submitted each day. Naval Station will not accept DBIDS vetting spreadsheets directly from the companies requiring vetting.

Naval Station requires 5 days to process a vetting spreadsheet. This 5-day period does not include the day of submission nor does it include weekends and holidays. The results except for denials are not returned, if it has been more than five days excluding day of submission and weekends/holidays, and there has been no response, then vetting has been approved.

Also, visitors must stop at B-80 and get their NUWC visitor pass before going to Naval Station Gate 1 to get a DBIDS card. Visitors must not try to enter NUWC with only their visitor pass and no DBIDS (or CAC) as the gate guard will confiscate their NUWC visitor pass and you will be turned around at the gate.

Please keep in mind, DBIDs is only good for 179 days. The company must resubmit their DBIDS vetting spreadsheet every 170 days in order to stay active with their DBIDS card. 170 days is requested so that the vetting can be sent and cleared before the 179 day expiration. If DBIDS isn't sent every 170 days, when the 179 day period expires, they will be denied access to the base and will have to wait 5 business days in order for their vetting to clear again. DBIDS is separate from the visitor request.

If you have any questions on the DBIDS portion, please contact NAVSTA Pass & ID at 401-841-3126.

If you have questions on the visitor request portion, please contact NUWC Visitor Control at 401-832-2152.

Facility Access Determinations (FAD): The program above allows contractors to work on the NUWC grounds outside of buildings. In order to perform work within existing buildings, a FAD must be submitted. The FAD is a process whereby commanding officers, in their responsibilities under the Internal Security Act of 1950 to protect persons and property under their command against the actions of untrustworthy persons, may request personnel scrutiny investigations and review the results to determine whether to allow the identified person(s) access to facilities under their control. The FAD program also complies with the requirements of Homeland Security Presidential Directive 12 (HSPD-12) to have a background investigation on all individuals who access federal facilities. FADs are required when: Unescorted access to the installation is required for a non-classified contract. A request for a photo ID is submitted. Photo ID’s are only given when the contractor will be on site for a minimum of 3 days per week for a period not less than 90 days. When there is no other background investigation that meets the requirement of HSPD-12 such as a prior NAC, NACI, or TWIC.

The FAD Process consists of the following:

Company submits a complete visit request for the individual. Visit request forms are available from the Security Department or NUWC Website.

The NUWC POC submits a badge card for the individual after verifying that the individual needs access for a minimum of three days per week for a period of at least 90 days.

Section 01 14 00 Page 3

During the badge card review process, the individual does not have a background investigation that meets the requirements of HSPD-12.

The individual, and the individual’s company, are provided the SF-85 form through the electronic Questionnaire for Investigation Processing (eQip) The eQip is reviewed and the individual is fingerprinted to verify citizenship through a valid birth certificate or US Passport.

OPM conducts the NAC or NACI. Only a determination of Favorable will result in the individual’s unescorted access to NUWCDIVNPT.

If derogatory information occurs after the badge is issued, the contractor will be advised that the issuance of a NUWC badge is the sole prerogative of the commanding officer. If the commanding officer determines, upon review of the facts, that allowing a person to perform certain duties or to access certain areas, would pose an unacceptable risk, that decision is final. No due process procedures are required.

1.2.1.3 No Smoking Policy

Smoking is prohibited within and outside of all buildings on installation, except in designated smoking areas. This applies to existing buildings, buildings under construction and buildings under renovation. Discarding tobacco materials other than into designated tobacco receptacles is considered littering and is subject to fines.

1.2.2 Working Hours

a. Each TIA must be in both narrative and schedule form. The narrative must define the scope and conditions of the change; provide start and finish dates of impact, successor and predecessor activity to impact period, responsible party, describe how it originated, and how it impacts the schedule. The schedule submission must consist of three native files:

(1) Fragnet used to define the scope of the changed condition

(2) Most recent accepted schedule update as of the time of the proposal or claim submission that has been updated to show all activity progress as of the time of the impact start date.

(3) The impacted schedule that has the fragnet inserted in the updated schedule and the schedule "run" so that the new completion date is determined.

Section 01 32 16.00 20 Page 3

b. For claimed as-built project delay, the inserted fragnet TIA method must be modified to account for as-built events known to occur after the data date of schedule update used.

c. All TIAs must include any mitigation, and must determine the apportionment of the overall delay assignable to each individual delay.

The associated narrative must clearly describe the findings in a chronological listing beginning with the earliest delay event.

(1) Identify types of delays as follows:

(a) Excusable Delay: Force-Majeure (e.g. weather) - Contractor may receive time extension, but time will not be compensable.

(b) Inexcusable Delay: Contractor Responsibility - Contractor will not receive time extension.

(c) Compensable Delay: Government Responsibility - Contractor may receive compensable time extension.

(2) If a combination of delay types occurs, it is considered Concurrent

Delay, which is defined in the following combinations:

(a) Excusable Delay and Compensable Delay results in Excusable Delay

(b) Excusable Delay and Inexcusable Delay results in Inexcusable Delay

(c) Compensable Delay and Inexcusable Delay results in Excusable Delay

d. Submit Data disks containing the narrative and native schedule files.

e. Unless the Contracting Officer requests otherwise, only add conformed contract modifications into the Project NAS.

1.6 3-WEEK LOOK AHEAD SCHEDULE

Prepare and issue a 3-Week Look Ahead schedule to provide a more detailed day-to-day plan of upcoming work identified on the Construction Schedule.

Key the work plans to activity numbers when a NAS is required and update each week to show the planned work for the current and following two-week period.

Additionally, include upcoming outages, closures, preparatory meetings, and initial meetings. Identify critical path activities on the Three-Week Look Ahead Schedule. The detail work plans are to be bar chart type schedules, maintained separately from the Construction Schedule on an electronic spreadsheet program and printed on 8-1/2 by 11 inch sheets as directed by the Contracting Officer. Activities must not exceed 5 working days in duration and have sufficient level of detail to assign crews, tools and equipment required to complete the work. Deliver three hard copies and one electronic file of the 3-Week Look Ahead Schedule to the Contracting Officer no later than 8 a.m. each Monday, and review during the weekly CQC Coordination or Production Meeting.

1.7 CORRESPONDENCE AND TEST REPORTS:

Section 01 32 16.00 20 Page 4

All correspondence (e.g., letters, Requests for Information (RFIs), e-mails, meeting minute items, Production and QC Daily Reports, material delivery tickets, photographs) must reference Schedule Activities that are being addressed. All test reports (e.g., concrete, soil compaction, weld, pressure) must reference Schedule Activities that are being addressed.

1.8 ADDITIONAL SCHEDULING REQUIREMENTS
