SECURITY REQUIREMENTS--BUREAU OF RECLAMATION (FEB 2011)

(a) General Security Requirements:

(1) This clause addresses security requirements, including general procedural requirements, information security requirements, contractor employee suitability requirements, identification card requirements, site security requirements, and information technology security requirements. Within this clause, COR means Contracting Officer's Representative. If there is no COR appointed and identified to the Contractor, the term instead will mean the Program Manager or any other authorized individual responsible for technical oversight under the contract. "Work site" means the Government facility, office, construction site, and any other area within the Government office or facility that the Contractor must access to accomplish work under this contract.

(2) The work performed under this contract shall only be accomplished by individuals (in the employment of the Contractor or any subcontractors) whose conduct and behavior is consistent with the efficiency of the Federal Service and the requirements of this contract, and who are acceptable to the CO.

If Reclamation finds a Contractor employee to be unsuitable or unfit for his or her assigned duties, the CO will direct the Contractor to remove the individual from the contract and access to the Federal facility at which the contract activities are occurring.

(3) The Contractor's employees governed by this contract may need access to sensitive information and/or sensitive areas. The Federal Government (Government) reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine suitability of Contractor personnel and deny access to any sensitive information or project specific area to any personnel for any cause.

(4) The Contractor is responsible for informing and ensuring compliance by its employees with any applicable security procedures of the Government facility where work may be performed under this contract.

(5) Any Contractor employee that will have access to a Federally-controlled facility or information system will be required to have a Government-issued identification card, consisting of a Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Card, a temporary identification card, or a visitor badge. During performance of the contract, the Contractor shall keep the COR apprised of any changes in personnel, or changes in personnel access or duration, to ensure that performance is not delayed by compliance with credentialing processes.

(6) A Contractor employee will not be provided access to a Government facility or information system until a Government PIV Card, temporary identification card, or visitor identification badge has been issued to the Contractor employee. For those individuals that will be receiving a PIV Card, the Government may, at its discretion, issue a temporary identification card or visitor identification badge after the electronic background investigation forms have been received and the investigation is initiated.

(7) All Contractor employees shall access the facility via the facility's entry screening system and visibly display the Government-issued PIV Card, temporary identification card, or visitor identification badge at all times. Contractor employees must visibly wear the Government-issued identification card at all times they are on Government facilities. Contractor employees are responsible for the safekeeping of all Government-issued identification cards, whether on-site or off-site. Cards that have been lost, damaged, or stolen must be reported to the COR within 24 hours. The Contractor shall return all identification cards and card keys and any other Government property and information upon completion of performance or when personnel depart permanently or for a period of 7 days or more. The Contractor may be required to turn in access control cards or identification cards on a daily basis.

(8) Misuse or loss of access control or identification cards, or failure to comply with required surrender of such cards may, at Government discretion, result in Contractor personnel being denied access to the work site, at no cost to Government. The Contractor may be charged up to $500 for each occurrence for

Solicitation No. R14PS01008, Guided Tour Program Page 8 of 36 any required replacement of Government-issued access control or identification cards due to loss or misuse.

At the end of contract performance, or when a Contractor employee is no longer working under this contract, the Contractor shall ensure that all access control and identification cards are returned to the COR.

(9) All Contractor personnel, including subcontractor personnel, with access to the work site shall be U.S. citizens or foreign individuals legally residing in, or legally admitted to, the U.S. For all non-U.S.

citizens working under this contract, the Contractor shall provide to the COR, legible and valid copies of the individual's passport and visa (unless individual is on the Visa Waiver Program) a minimum of 14 calendar days prior to beginning work or arriving at the facility. A driver's license is not acceptable identification. In addition, a completed form I-94 shall be submitted to the COR upon the individual's arrival at the work facility and prior to beginning work. For those individuals with access to the work site, the Contractor shall also provide documentation that the foreign individual is legally residing in, or has been legally admitted to the U.S.

(10) The Contractor shall report all contacts with entities, individuals, and counsel/representatives (including foreign entities and foreign nationals) who seek in any way to obtain unauthorized access to sensitive information or areas. The Contractor shall report any violations of contract provisions, laws, executive orders, regulations, and guidance to the Contracting Officer (CO). The Contractor shall report any information raising a doubt as to whether an individual's eligibility for continued employment or access to sensitive information is consistent with the interests of National Security and the Public Trust.

(11) Unsanctioned, negligent, or willful inappropriate action on the part of the Contractor (or its employees) may result in termination of the contract or removal of some Contractor employees from Reclamation facilities at no cost to the Government. These actions include, but are not limited to, exploration of a sensitive system and/or information, introduction of unauthorized and/or malicious software, or failure to follow prescribed access control policies and/or security procedures. Failure to comply with Reclamation policies, procedures, or other published security requirements may result in termination of the contract or removal of some contracted employees from Reclamation buildings and/or facilities at no cost to the Government.

(12) All provisions of this clause shall equally apply to all subcontractors. The Contractor shall incorporate the substance of this clause in all subcontracts.

(13) These security requirements apply to all sections of this Contract including Contract Drawings and other Contract Specifications as applicable. Related documents include other general provisions of Construction or Operations and Maintenance type Contracts, including FAR clauses by reference or as amended by related documents.

(b) Information Security Requirements.

(1) Sensitive Information. The term "sensitive information" means any information which warrants a degree of protection and administrative control as defined by Reclamation or that meets the criteria for exemption from public disclosure set forth under Sections 552 and 552a of Title 5, United States Code: the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act. Sensitive information is generally categorized as FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY (FOUO) information or CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION (CUI), but in some cases may include other unclassified information. (The protection of National Security information is beyond the scope of this clause. If any work on National Security information is required under this contract, it is addressed under other contract clauses.) The Contractor shall protect this type of information from unauthorized release into public domain, or to unauthorized persons, organizations, or subcontractors. Information which, either alone or in aggregate, is deemed sensitive by Reclamation shall be handled and protected in accordance with Reclamation directives and standards for identifying and safeguarding sensitive information (SLE 02-01), which is available from the COR or at http://www.usbr.gov/recman/DandS.html#sle.

(i) Any Government-furnished information or material does not become the property of the Contractor and may be withdrawn at any time. Upon expiration or termination of the contract, all documents released to the Contractor and any material created using data from such documents shall be returned to the COR for final disposition. Government-furnished information residing on any electronic systems (laptops, servers, desktops, media) shall be deleted from those systems using a COR-approved data erasure solution. Only with prior authorization from the CO may the Contractor retain the material. The Contractor or subcontractor shall not disclose or release the materials provided to the Contractor to any individuals of the Contractor's organization not directly engaged in providing services under the contract or that do not have a valid need-to-know. All technical data provided to the Contractor by the Government

Solicitation No. R14PS01008, Guided Tour Program Page 9 of 36 shall be protected from public or private disclosure in accordance with the markings printed on them. All other information relating to the items to be delivered or the services to be performed under this contract shall not be disclosed by any means without prior approval of the CO. Prohibited dissemination or disclosure includes, but is not limited to: permitting access to such information by foreign nationals or by immigrant aliens who may be employed by the Contractor, publication of technical or scientific papers, advertising, disclosure to Contractor staff not investigated and deemed acceptable at the appropriate information sensitivity level, and any other public release. The Contractor shall maintain, and furnish upon request of the CO, records of the names of individuals who have access to sensitive material in its custody.

All questions regarding information security, access, and control shall be referred to the COR.

(ii) The Contractor shall not release to anyone outside the Contractor's organization any sensitive, or otherwise protected information, regardless of medium in which it is contained (for example, film, tape, document, electronic), pertaining to any part of this contract or any Reclamation program or activity, unless the CO has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, news releases, marketing promotions, articles, interviews, reports, and any other media releases. Requests for approval shall identify the specific information to be released, the medium to be used, the purpose for the release, and a description of the need-to-know. The Contractor shall submit its request to the CO ten business days before the proposed date for release. Subcontractors shall submit requests for authorization to release through the prime Contractor to the CO.

(iii) The Contractor shall notify the COR immediately when known or suspected loss/compromise of sensitive information or other documents, notes, drawings, sketches, reports, photographs, exposed film or similar information which may affect the security interests of Government has occurred. This requirement extends to employees and other personnel working on behalf of the Contractor, and expands responsibility to include prompt reporting of security issues, including observed or subsequently discovered efforts by unauthorized persons to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.

(2) Classified Information.

(i) The disclosure of U.S. Government documents by third parties can result in damage to our national security. While this contract may not deal directly with classified information, each contractor is obligated to protect classified information pursuant to all applicable laws and to use Government information technology systems in accordance with agency procedures so that the integrity of such systems is not compromised.

(ii) Unauthorized disclosures of classified documents (whether in print, on a blog, or on websites, or other electronic or non-electronic media) do not alter the documents' classified status or automatically result in declassification of the documents. To the contrary, classified information, whether or not already posted on public websites or disclosed to the media, remains classified, and must be treated as such by Federal employees and contractors, until it is declassified by an appropriate U.S.

Government authority. Executive Order 13526, Classified National Security Information (December 29, 2009), Section 1.1.(c) states, "Classified Information shall not be declassified automatically as a result of any unauthorized disclosure of identical or similar information." Although the Department has taken steps to secure access to publicly published classified materials from Departmental computers, it is important to understand our continuing duties and responsibilities in this regard.

(iii) Contractors (which include all employees of the contractor, as well as subcontractors and its employees performing work for the contractor) are reminded of the following obligations with respect to the treatment of classified information and the use of non-classified government information technology systems:

(iv) Except as authorized by agency procedures, the contractor shall not, while using Government issued computers or other devices (such as Blackberries or Smart Phones) access the web on non-classified Government systems, or access documents that are marked classified (including classified documents made publicly available by a third party), as doing so risks that material still classified will be placed onto non-classified systems. This requirement applies to access that occurs either through agency or contractor computers, or through employee or contractor personally owned computers that access non-classified Government systems. This requirement does not restrict contractor access to non-classified, publicly available news reports (and other non-classified material) that may in turn discuss classified material, as distinguished from access to underlying documents that themselves are marked classified (including if the underlying classified documents are available on public Web sites or otherwise in the public domain).

(v) Contractors are reminded that only Department of Defense (DoD) facility clearances and personnel with appropriate security clearances will be issued for any bureau or office entering into a

Solicitation No. R14PS01008, Guided Tour Program Page 10 of 36 contract where classified information may be obtained. Only those personnel granted a security clearance by DoD will be acceptable to the Department of the Interior for access to classified information.

Consequently, any classified contracts will be coordinated through the Reclamation Chief Security Officer, or for IT requirements, the Bureau Chief Information Security Officer (BCISO). Therefore, no contractor shall access classified information unless proper clearances have been obtained

(vi) Classified information shall not be removed from official premises or disclosed without proper authorization.

(vii) Contractors who believe they may have inadvertently accessed or downloaded classified or sensitive information on computers that access the web via non-classified government systems, or without prior authorization, should contact their Contracting Officer immediately.

(c) Contractor Employee Suitability and Issuance of Government Identification Cards:

(1) Performance of this contract requires Contractor personnel to have a Federal Government-issued HSPD-12/FIPS-201 compliant Personal Identification Verification Card (PIV Card) before being allowed unsupervised access to a Federally-controlled facility or information system. (Note: within the Department of the Interior this card is known as a DOI Access Card.) An active PIV Card issued by another Federal Government agency will be accepted by Reclamation if the associated background investigation is sufficient for the work and access to facilities and information systems required under this contract, as determined solely by Reclamation.

(2) At the Government's sole discretion, the Government may issue a temporary identification card or visitor identification badge, in lieu of a PIV Card, under one of the following conditions:

(i) The individual will only be associated with Reclamation for a period of 180 days or less, will not have access to sensitive information, and any access to a sensitive area or Federal-controlled information systems will be fully supervised. The 180 calendar day period begins on the first day of the individual's affiliation with Reclamation (in this case, the date that the individual's contract performance begins) and ends exactly 180 days later, regardless of the number of times the individual actually accesses a Government facility or information system.

(ii) The individual will only have sporadic access to Federal facilities and information systems; will not have access to sensitive information, and any access to a sensitive area or Federal-controlled information system will be fully supervised.

(iii) The individual will work exclusively outdoors, will not have access to sensitive information, and any access to a sensitive area or Federal-controlled information system will be fully supervised. (iv) In paragraphs (i) through (iii), supervised access means the individual's access to, and movement within, a facility is monitored and controlled sufficiently to prevent access to any unauthorized areas, equipment, or information; and the individual's access to an information system is monitored and controlled sufficiently to ensure appropriate use of the system and information, and to prevent access to any unauthorized systems or information. Supervision must be performed by an individual with an active Government-issued PIV Card.

(3) The Contractor shall furnish to the COR an alphabetical list of contract personnel, to include subcontractors, who will require access to a Government facility or information system. The list shall provide the full name, social security number, date of birth, place of birth, purpose or job title, and the estimated duration of access. If the Contractor believes an individual should be issued a temporary identification card or visitor identification badge in lieu of a PIV Card based on the conditions in paragraph (4), then the Contractor must also submit a sufficient written justification as to why the specific individual or individuals will not need a PIV Card. The Contractor shall provide this information before the start of contract performance, or before the start of an individual's performance when there is a change or addition of personnel, with sufficient time to ensure that performance is not delayed by compliance with credentialing processes.

(4) Any contract employees that will be issued a temporary identification card or visitor identification badge, in lieu of a PIV Card, at the Government's sole discretion, will be subject to the following credentialing procedures:

Issuance of a temporary access card until receipt of HSPD 12

(5) Any contract employees that will be issued a PIV Card will be subject to the following credentialing procedures: (i) The CO or COR will initiate the e-Qip electronic background investigation process, and give the Contractor instructions for completing the background investigation and PIV Card process. As part of the PIV Card process, each Contractor employee shall be required to appear in person at a

Solicitation No. R14PS01008, Guided Tour Program Page 11 of 36

Government PIV Enrollment Station to have personal identity verification documents verified, have a photograph taken, be fingerprinted, and to pick up and activate the PIV Card when completed. The Contractor must make its personnel available at the place and time specified by the COR in order to initiate this process.

(ii) At least two weeks before start of contract performance, the Contractor must identify all contractor and subcontractor personnel who will require (insert as appropriate physical and/or logical) access for performance of work under this contract. Physical Access means routine, unescorted or unmonitored access to non-public areas of a Federally-controlled facility. Logical Access means routine, unsupervised access to a Level 3 or 4 Federally controlled information system. The Contractor must make their personnel available at the place and time specified by the COR or DOI Access Card Sponsor in order to initiate screening and background investigations. The following electronic or paper forms and inquiries, or their equivalent, shall be used to initiate the credentialing process:

(a) OPM Standard Form 85 or 85P

(b) OF 306

(c) National Criminal History Check (NCHC) (local procedures may require the fingerprinting to be done at a police station; in this case, any charges are to be borne by the contractor)

(d) Release to Obtain Credit Information

(e) PIV Card application (web-based)

(f) Fingerprint Card FD-258 or electronic fingerprints (local procedures may require the fingerprinting to be done at a police station; in this case, any charges are to be borne by the Contractor)

(iii) The cost of completing the above processes and submitting the above forms, including any charges for obtaining fingerprints and traveling to a Credentialing Center for card enrollment and activation, shall be borne by the Contractor. The cost of suitability and PIV-related background investigations shall be borne by Reclamation. For contracts that require a national security clearance, the cost of obtaining the national security clearance, including any associated background investigation, will be borne by the Contractor.

(iv) Contractor employees are required to complete all forms and to give, and to authorize others to give, full, frank, and truthful answers to relevant and material questions needed to reach a suitability determination. Refusal or failure to furnish or authorize provision of information may constitute grounds for denial or revocation of credentials. Government personnel may contact the Contractor personnel being investigated in person, by telephone, or in writing, and the Contractor agrees to make them available for such contact.

(v) For each Contractor employee that will be issued a PIV Card, the Government will conduct a background investigation. The level of background investigation for each Contractor employee will be determined by the Government based on the risk and sensitivity levels as described in Reclamation's Personnel Security and Suitability Directives and Standards," SLE 01-01, which is available at http://www.usbr.gov/recman/DandS.html#sle. At a minimum, each Contractor employee that will be issued a PIV Card will receive a National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI) Background Investigation. The minimum standards which will be used in suitability determinations are contained in the DOI Departmental Manual Part 441, Chapter 5, which is available at http://elips.doi.gov/app_dm/act_getfiles.cfm?relnum=3862.

(vi) Each Contractor employee in a position designated as higher than Low Risk Non-Sensitive shall be reinvestigated on a periodic basis as described in Reclamation's Personnel Security and Suitability Directives and Standards. A reinvestigation may also be initiated when the Contractor or the Government believes that a particular individual's continued ability to meet the contract's minimum standards is in question; or if it is determined that the position has changed and a higher level investigation is warranted.

(vii) If a Contractor employee has worked under a Federal agency contract within the past two years, and that contract required a successfully-adjudicated background investigation at the same risk level as (or higher than) this contract, further investigation may not be necessary. The Contractor shall provide the COR with documentation that supports the individual's previous contract work and any information, Solicitation No. R14PS01008, Guided Tour Program Page 12 of 36 including name and social security number, date of birth, and place of birth, needed for Government verification of previous background investigation.

(viii) Contractor employees who have been successfully adjudicated will be issued DOI Access Cards, which must be activated at a USAccess Credentialing Center. Those Contractor employees not located within a reasonable travel time of a USAccess Credentialing Center will be screened and issued alternate credentials, such as temporary access badges.

(ix) If the final adjudication is unfavorable on a Contractor employee, or if Reclamation finds a Contractor employee to be unsuitable or unfit for his or her assigned duties, the CO will direct the Contractor to remove the individual from the contract and access to the Federal facility at which the contract activities are occurring. In the event of a disagreement between the Contractor and the Government concerning the suitability of a particular employee to perform work under this contract, the Government shall have the right of final determination. Determinations under this requirement are subject to the Disputes Clause. Failure of the Conttractor to comply with the requirements of this clause could constitute grounds for termination for default.

(x) Reclamation will not allow a Contractor employee access to their investigation files. An individual may request, under the provisions of the Privacy Act and/or Freedom of Information Act, copies of their files from the investigative agency (Office of Personnel Management). Reclamation will not release a copy of any investigative file, in whole or part, to the Contractor or any Contractor representative.

(xi) During performance of the contract, the Contractor must keep the COR apprised of changes in personnel to ensure that performance is not delayed by compliance with credentialing processes. Cards that have been lost, damaged, or stolen must be reported to the COR and Issuing Office within 24 hours. If reissuance of expired credentials is needed, it must be coordinated through the COR.

(xii) At the end of the contract performance, or when a contractor employee is no longer working under this contract, the Contractor must ensure that all identification cards are returned to the COR.
