5.6.3 Pick up of Deliverables. The Contractor is responsible for picking up all deliverables no later than 24 hours after end of the PoP at the same locations where they were delivered. The COR will inform the Contractor of any change to the Pick up location no later than 24 hours from the end of the PoP. The Government is not responsible for any losses, damages, or fees incurred due to Contractor failure to pick up all deliverables from the specified time. If a delay would lead to the Contractor being unable to pickup equipment on the specified date, the Contractor will notify the COR as soon as possible. The Government will not be charged for any delays in picking up deliverables nor will this be considered an extension to the PoP.

5.6.4 Claims Process: If a claim is submitted, it requires the joint pre-inspection and post-inspection sheets to accompany the claim form. Both must be provided to the KO at the time of claim submission. The pre and post-inspection sheets must only be signed by the COR that is indicated on the contract, or the appointed representative.

5.7 Quantity: In the event changes occur, the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) will notify the Contractor within 24 hours to make adjustments accordingly.

5.8 NTC Maneuver Area Control Plan

5.8.2 Purpose: The National Training Center (NTC) and Fort Irwin have established Maneuver Area Control Operational Procedures and Activities within the NTC Training Area to ensure training fidelity, safety and compliance with NTC and Army Regulations. The Maneuver Area Control Operational Procedures ensure that NTC has control over personnel entering and using the NTC maneuver area for tactical, training and support purposes.

5.8.3 Applicability: Maneuver area control procedures are applicable to all personnel (both military and civilian) who enter the training area in a non-tactical vehicle.

5.8.4 Responsibility: Organizations and activities requiring military, civilian or Contractor access to the range complex are responsible for all approvals required by range regulations, SOPs and this directive. Sponsors will ensure that users understand requirements and have required equipment. Sponsors are the first source of Range Communications Systems (RCS) radios. If RCS radios are not available, Range Support will issue an RCS for the duration of the requirement only.

5.8.5 Range Passes: Range Access passes will be issued only when the following criteria are met, and only for the duration of the requirement (See Attachment 1).

5.8.6 NOTE: Increased security may delay Contractors’ delivery time. It is the Contractors’ responsibility to plan and prepare prior to the beginning of the POP to gain access to the installation.

(a) Valid driver’s license for type vehicle used.

(b) Valid range briefing and safety card.

(c) Possession of training area access handbook.

(d) Proof of need to go down range (contract number and POP (not the contract work order, etc.)

5.8.7 Range Safety Briefings and Range Cards: All users of the training area are required to have received the range safety briefing within the last year and must carry and present the range card on demand. Range cards are valid for the calendar year from 1 January to 31 December. Personnel who do not have a range safety card must be escorted in the maneuver area by a range safety cardholder who accepts the responsibility for their control while down range.

5.8.8 NTC Vehicle Markings: All Non-Tactical Vehicles (NTVs) that enter the training area are required to have the required Physical Markings. Vehicles will be marked on the left and right door and the front with markings that are clearly legible from 100 feet and indicate the parent or sponsor of the vehicle. Markings can be permanent, magnetic or other type signs that are temporarily used. Range Support will also have generic vehicle ID signs for vehicle not having other required markings. Rotation markings (such as UN or IP) may be used in addition to the identifying signs.

5.8.9 Range Communications: Range communications downrange must be maintained in one of two ways. FM communication may be used on the Range control frequency (38.90). The Range Communications System (RCS) radio is the other permissible means. Cell phones are not permissible communications means unless specifically approved by the NTC Chief of Staff. NTVs will not be allowed into the training area without an operating RCS or an escort of a vehicle with an operational RCS.

5.8.10 Checkpoints: Checkpoints will serve as the entry control points to the maneuver area for all non- tactical vehicles (NTV) entry into the maneuver area. The checkpoints may not be bypassed by non-tactical vehicles. All NTVs will be physically checked for compliance (marking, range pass, range safety card, common means) before admittance to the maneuver area. All checkpoints will be clearly marked with warning signs and access instructions. Common bypass routes will be clearly marked with instructions to use the nearest checkpoint.

Checkpoint Locations:

(1) North -- Barstow Road at the water tower.

(2) East -- Langford Lake Road east of the cantonment area.

(3) West -- NASA Security Checkpoint (on the tank trail)

(4) South -- Fort Irwin Road tank trail vicinity NU233967

5.9 Violators and Enforcement: Military personnel and range patrols are authorized to require violators to leave the maneuver area. Other personnel are encouraged to report violations to Range Support for action. The Range Control Officer will withdraw or suspend installation training area privileges upon determination that any person, organization or agency willfully violated this directive, local range regulations and procedures; or from any person whose ability or conduct is incompatible with the safe use of Government range facility.
