This is in support of detection and apprehension of illegal alien/undocumented workers. To this end, base access procedures for badge issuance include on-site verification of base sponsorship and supporting documentation. Contractors who choose not to participate in the program will be required to obtain daily business passes at the pass office. Badges/passes are the property of the Government and must be displayed as required by the Installation Security Department. It is the sole responsibility of the Contractor to see that all badges issued to their employees are returned in accordance with these provisions. Upon expiration of the contract, all employees' passes and badges shall be deactivated and the base access privileges revoked until such time base access is again required/authorized. Due diligence on your part in screening employees is required because the Government is not responsible for work Delays or Stoppages caused by the Contractor/sub-contractor's failure to comply with registration and access requirements, nor is the Government responsible for program fees lost due to ineligible personnel. Also be aware, that the Contracting Officer is required to consider debarment proceedings where repeated or egregious violations of access control requirements are found. In addition to these provisions the Contractor shall also comply with all additional base procedures for applying to obtain commercial passes for entry to this facility. To obtain additional information regarding base access, please contact the pass and ID office at 361-961-1356.

It should be recognized that requirements for security and base access varies between bases as well as between various locations within individual bases. It is incumbent on the Contractor to ascertain the current security and base access requirements appropriate to the project location and incorporate the cost, if any, for compliance to said requirements into Contractor's proposal. Lack of knowledge of current requirements does not constitute a basis for an adjustment to the contract. Should requirements change during the construction timeframe, Contractor may be eligible, subject to documentation acceptable to the Government, for an adjustment to the contract.

Contractor personnel employed on the Activity shall become familiar with and obey Activity regulations including safety, fire, traffic and security regulations. A Safety, fire, traffic, and security required information/regulations will be provided at Kick-off meeting. 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. The Contractor's equipment shall be conspicuously marked for identification.

2.4. Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS):

The Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) is a DoD-owned and operated system developed by Defense Manpower Data Center as a force protection program to manage personnel identity and access at DoD installations. DBIDS is a network database system designed to easily verify access authorization of personnel entering military installations by using barcodes and fingerprint biometric identifications.

In order to obtain base access, an individual need to acquire DoD sponsorship, have a thorough identity check, be properly vetted, and have a legitimate reason for base access. Identity checks require a passport or a Real ID Act-compliant state driver's license. Vetting occurs when the individual's background and ID are compared against authoritative criminal justice data bases, and the individual has a letter or official document from the sponsoring organization which articulates the reason for access. When the above criteria are satisfactorily met, DBIDs credentials are issued.

3.2. DEFINITIONS:

The significance of the following definitions is to provide situational awareness to the Contractor.

3.2.1. Safety Precaution Areas:

“Safety Precaution Areas” means those portions of approach-departure clearance zones and transitional zones where placement of objects incident to contract performance might result in vertical projections at or above the approach-departure clearance, or the transitional surface.

a) The “approach-departure clearance surface” is an extension of the primary surface and the clear zone at each end of each runway, for a distance of 50,000 feet, first along an inclined (glide angle) and then along a horizontal plane, both flaring symmetrically about the runway centerline extended.

1. The “inclined plane” (glide angle) begins in the clear zone 200 feet past the end of the runway (and primary surface) at the same elevation as the end of the runway. It continues upward at a slope of 50:1 ((1) one foot vertically for each 50 feet horizontally) to an elevation of 500 feet above the established airfield elevation. At that point the plane becomes horizontal, continuing at that same uniform elevation to a point 50,000 feet longitudinally from the beginning of the inclined plane (glide angle) and ending there.

2. The width of the surface at the beginning of the “inclined plane” (glide angle) is the same as the width of the clear zone. It then flares uniformly, reaching the maximum width of 16,000 feet at the end.

b) The “approach-departure clearance zone” is the ground area under the approach-departure clearance surface.

c) The “transitional surface” is a sideways extension of all primary surfaces, clear zones, and approach departure clearance surfaces along inclined planes.

1. The “inclined plane” in each case begins at the edge of the surface.

2. The “slope of the incline plane” is 7:1 ((1) one foot vertically for each (7) seven feet horizontally). It continues to the point of intersection with the —

i. “Inner horizontal surface” (which is the horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airfield elevation); or

ii. “Outer horizontal surface” (which is the horizontal plane 500 feet above the established airfield elevation), whichever is applicable.

d) d. The “transitional zone” is the ground area under the transitional surface. (It adjoins the primary surface, clear zone, and approach-departure clearance zone.)

3.2.2. SUBMITTALS:

The “G” designation stands for Government. Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation; submittals not having a "G" designation are for Contractor Quality Control approval. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government. Submit the following in accordance with DOD UFGS, Section 01 33 00: The "G" designation identifies the submittals that need to be reviewed by the Government (the TPOC) for approval prior to proceeding with work. The following Submittals are to be submitted to the Government for approval within 30 days of contract award. If the Government disapproves a Submittal by the Contractor, the Contractor shall submit a revised submittal within 30 days of rejection notification by the Government.

If different quantities are recommended, a total and a unit price must be quoted for applicable items. An economic purchase quantity is that quantity at which a significant price break occurs. If there are significant price breaks at different quantity points, this information is desired as well.

(c) The information requested in this provision is being solicited to avoid acquisitions in disadvantageous quantities and to assist the Government in developing a data base for future acquisitions of these items. However, the Government reserves the right to amend or cancel the solicitation and resolicit with respect to any individual item in the event quotations received and the Government's requirements indicate that different quantities should be acquired.

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.
