H.7 COVID-19 GUIDELINES:

The following guidelines will be adhered to at BIE facilities as a preventive health strategy in response to the COVID-19 health pandemic. These guidelines are based on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) best practices to minimize risk of coronavirus transmission as employees return to the workplace.

a. COVID Symptoms. Any Contractor personnel, employees, subcontractors, partners, or workers who are experiencing symptoms of COVID-19, including but not limited to cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell should not report to work. See CDC guidance on Quarantine & Isolation at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/quarantine-isolation.html. Contractor’s project managers and site superintendents are responsible to monitor employees for symptoms before and during work, and follow appropriate precautions in accordance with CDC and OSHA Guidance – https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/workplaces-businesses/specific-industries.html. If a contractor’s employee is unsure if they are sick, they should consult their supervisor. Visitors exhibiting or reporting COVID-19 symptoms (i.e., cough or shortness of breath or difficulty breathing fever, chills, muscle pain, sore throat, new loss of taste or smell) should be encouraged through notice and signage to leave the facility and reschedule their meeting/visit for a future time when they are in good health.

b. Face Covers. Contractor personnel are required to wear face covers while onsite. Cloth face coverings are not respirators and are not appropriate substitutes where filtering face piece respirators are required. Employees who are performing tasks at elevated risk requiring respirators as identified through the job hazards analysis will be provided with the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to perform their jobs safely.

c. Social Distancing. The CDC guidance includes a primary objective of disease mitigation through good hygiene, staying home when sick, and social distancing. Social distancing is a set of actions taken to stop or slow the spread of a highly contagious disease. The CDC has determined that social distancing is an essential step in preventing the spread of COVID-19. The goal of social distancing is to limit face-to-face contact to decrease the spread of illness among people in community settings. Employees should practice social distancing by putting space (currently six feet) between themselves and others. Visitors that exceed the maximum occupancy for the space should not enter the space. Any waiting area should also be structured to limit aggregation of people to avoid crowding and maintain social distancing. Waiting areas should have suitable floor markings to facilitate social distancing.

d. Hygiene. Contractors will have an overall cleaning schedule that is consistent with CDC cleaning recommendations including using Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommended cleaning and disinfecting solutions (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/clean-disinfect/index.html).

Additionally, the Contractor shall encourage and support frequent hand washing, hand sanitizing and wiping down of surfaces in high traffic, shared spaces (e.g., elevator lobbies, community desk, pantry, nooks, meeting rooms, restrooms, phone booths). Workstation configurations and schedules should accommodate simplified cleaning measures wherever possible.

H.8 BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION:

In accordance with 25 U.S.C. § 3201 et seq. (Pub. L. 101-630), the Indian Child Protection and Family Violence Prevention Act; 34 U.C.C. § 20351, et seq. (Pub. L. 101-647), the Crime Control Act of 1990, as amended; and 441 Departmental Manual, Personnel Security and Suitability Requirements, all positions with duties and responsibilities involving regular contact with or control over Indian children are subject to a background investigation and determination of suitability for employment.

Accordingly, all such positions require a favorable background screening by the Bureau of Indian Education (BIE), Personnel Security and Suitability Program and a favorable background investigation by the Defense Counterintelligence Service Agency (DCSA). The documentation required to initiate a background investigation shall be completed for any Contractor employee that will be onsite during the contract’s performance or have access to Personally Identifiable Information (PII). The complete submittal of the background investigation paperwork to the BIA/BIE will be accomplished within 14 days after contract award for service contracts or, for construction contracts, before a Notice to Proceed (NTP) is issued by the Contracting Officer. Pending the successful completion of a background investigation by the BIA/BIE and/or DCSA, the Contractor who has been granted a favorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination must, at all times, remain within sight and under the supervision of a government employee (or other person designated by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR), who has successfully completed the background investigation. If an unfavorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination is made, an employee shall not be allowed onsite. If the Contractor’s employees are found onsite, without the proper authorization, the employee will face legal liability and the Contractor may have their contract terminated for default.

Additionally, the individual and/or the company who proposed to employ this individual may be determined to be non- responsible if an unfavorable screening (applicant and suitability) determination is made and may be deemed ineligible for contract award. If an unfavorable final background investigation determination is made, the contract may be terminated and the employee in question shall not be authorized to provide service to the BIA/BIE if the services involve contact with or regular control over Indian children. It is solely the COR’s responsibility to initiate background checks for all Contractors and their employees in the BIE BEARCUBS system, which includes but is not limited to appropriate investigative forms and/or inquiries about their previous investigation; and, obtain a screening (applicant and suitability) determination, and subsequent final background investigation.

The Contracting Officer will consult with the COR when questions arise as to whether or not the scope of work of a contract requires background investigations for contractor personnel. If the Contracting Officer or COR believes the scope of work performed by contract personnel should not require a background investigation, the Personnel Security Officer will be contacted for concurrence and has the final authority to determine if background investigation(s) are required.

H.9 BONDING REQUIREMENTS:

a. Bid Bond – The amount of the bid bond shall be 20% of the original contract price.

b. Performance Bond – The amount of the performance bond shall be 100% of the original contract price.

c. Payment Bond – The amount of the payment bond shall be 100% of the original contract price.

d. Individual Surety – The bidders shall comply with FAR Clause 52.228-11, Pledge of Assets.

This contract is subject to the written approval of the Contracting Officer and shall not be binding until so approved.

52.204-27 PROHIBITION ON A BYTEDANCE COVERED APPLICATION JUN 2023

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

Covered application means the social networking service TikTok or any successor application or service developed or provided by ByteDance Limited or an entity owned by ByteDance Limited.

Information technology, as defined in 40 U.S.C. 11101(6)—

(1) Means any equipment or interconnected system or subsystem of equipment, used in the automatic acquisition, storage, analysis, evaluation, manipulation, management, movement, control, display, switching, interchange, transmission, or reception of data or information by the executive agency, if the equipment is used by the executive agency directly or is used by a contractor under a contract with the executive agency that requires the use—

(i) Of that equipment; or

(ii) Of that equipment to a significant extent in the performance of a service or the furnishing of a product;

(2) Includes computers, ancillary equipment (including imaging peripherals, input, output, and storage devices necessary for security and surveillance), peripheral equipment designed to be controlled by the central processing unit of a computer, software, firmware and similar procedures, services (including support services), and related resources; but

(3) Does not include any equipment acquired by a Federal contractor incidental to a Federal contract.

(b) Prohibition. Section 102 of Division R of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Pub. L. 117-328), the No TikTok on Government Devices Act, and its implementing guidance under Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Memorandum M-23-13, dated February 27, 2023, “No TikTok on Government Devices” Implementation Guidance, collectively prohibit the presence or use of a covered application on executive agency information technology, including certain equipment used by Federal contractors. The Contractor is prohibited from having or using a covered application on any information technology owned or managed by the Government, or on any information technology used or provided by the Contractor under this contract, including equipment provided by the Contractor’s employees; however, this prohibition does not apply if the Contracting Officer provides written notification to the Contractor that an exception has been granted in accordance with OMB Memorandum M-23-13.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in all subcontracts, including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services.

52.225-9 BUY AMERICAN–CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS OCT 2022

a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is–

(i) A commercial product (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition of “commercial product” at Federal Acquisition Regulation

(FAR) 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

"Construction material" means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

Cost of components means—

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

Critical component means a component that is mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States and deemed critical to the U.S. supply chain. The list of critical components is at FAR 25.105.

(i) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States; or

(ii) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if–

(A)The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 60 percent of the cost of all its components, except that the percentage will be 65 percent for items delivered in calendar years 2024 through 2028 and 75 percent for items delivered starting in calendar year 2029. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic. Components of unknown origin are treated as foreign; or

(B) The construction material is a COTS item; or

(2) For construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, a construction material manufactured in the United States if the cost of foreign iron and steel constitutes less than 5 percent of the cost of all components used in such construction material. The cost of foreign iron and steel includes but is not limited to the cost of foreign iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the construction material and a good faith estimate of the cost of all foreign iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners. Iron or steel components of unknown origin are treated as foreign. If the construction material contains multiple components, the cost of all the materials used in such construction material is calculated in accordance with the definition of "cost of components".

Fastener means a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. Examples of fasteners are nuts, bolts, pins, rivets, nails, clips, and screws.

Foreign construction material means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.
