I-29 (Revised) violations of established security requirements, after investigation, are found not to be the fault of the Contractor.

(x) Briefings. Contractor personnel who will be assigned to this project, and who will have access to the work site, may be required to attend Government-conducted security briefings. The Government reserves the right to conduct security briefings for Contractor personnel and visitors at all levels of involvement in performance of work and maintenance of security. Required briefings may include, but are not limited to, the following: Information Security, Site Security Requirements and Procedures, Delivery Methods and Inspections, Storage Requirements, Reporting Requirements, Supervisory Procedures, Contractor Employee Conduct, Visitor Control, and Threats.

(xi) Key Control. Control of keys/access codes and lock combinations is essential for the Government's project security. The Contractor shall not allow keys or access codes to be duplicated or removed from the work site, nor allow lock combinations to be divulged without specific written advanced authorization from the COR. Such loss of control, observed or suspected, may result in a requirement to change locks involved at the Contractor's expense. At the direction of the COR, the Contractor shall provide duplicate keys and lock combinations to Government security personnel when requested for the purpose of security inspections and emergency actions, including keys, combinations, and access codes needed for unrestricted access to every area and element of the project. The Contractor may be required to establish a key control program that is acceptable to the Government for Government-issued keys and for heavy machinery parked at the construction site (if this is a construction contract).

(xii) Vehicle Control. In general, parking of vehicles on the work site shall not be permitted, except for tractors, cranes, and similar equipment used directly in performance of work, for delivery of materials/supplies, and for removal of waste and surplus material. The Government may designate an approved contractor employee parking area. Upon entering the work site, vehicles and drivers may be subject to search and inspection. The Contractor shall obtain authorization from the COR to park the Contractor's official vehicles and motorized vehicular construction equipment that are required/desired to be parked on the work site. Vehicles in violation may be towed off the work site at the Contractor's expense. Where Government-designated employee parking is not available, parking of construction employees' automobiles and similar transportation vehicles may be excluded from the work site. It is the Contractor's responsibility to arrange for suitable accommodation for these vehicles.

(xiii) Prohibited/Restricted Items. Prohibited/restricted items and activities on the work site include but are not limited to the following: firearms and other weapons, except as specifically authorized by the COR in compliance with state and Federal laws and regulations; drugs, including narcotics, barbiturates, marijuana, alcoholic beverages, and similar substances, except for use with valid medical prescription; and explosives.

(xiv) Exceptions for Explosives. When needed for use in specifically limited amounts and controlled circumstances for construction work, explosives may be brought onsite with written prior authorization from the COR. As a hazardous material, the Contractor shall treat the use of explosives in accordance with regulations and guidance provided by Federal, State, and local authorities. The storage of explosives shall be in accordance with requirements of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms or the State in which they are stored. If onsite storage of explosives is necessary, explosives shall be stored at a pre-designated, secure site approved by the COR. Prior to Government approval of storage, the Contractor shall develop and submit to the COR a complete storage/security/retrieval plan for approval. The storage/security plan can be included in a "Blasting Safety Plan." The plan shall make accommodations for surveillance, detection, and response.

Explosives firing systems shall be stored off-site and under no circumstances shall be stored together with explosives.

(xv) Photography. The use of photographic equipment and taking of photographs shall only be allowed as authorized by the COR.

If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of--or in connection with-- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract.

Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.
