With respect thereto, the Contractor agrees not to assert or authorize others to assert any rights nor establish any claim under the design patent or copyright laws.

H.4 CONTRACTOR SECURITY REQUIREMENTS:

H.5 REAL ID ACT OF 2005:

The Real ID Act of 2005 established minimum security standards for license issuance and production and prohibits Federal agencies from accepting for certain purposes driver's licenses and identification cards from states not meeting the Act's minimum standards. To this purpose there are five states that are not in compliance with the Act nor have they received an extension to come into compliance with the act. Those states are Illinois, Minnesota, Missouri, New Mexico and Washington State. Anyone under this contract, to include subcontractors, who holds a driver's license from any of states without approved licenses and require access to a military facility will be required to provide identification other than a driver's license to gain access. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure that they are in accordance with the Real ID Act and any other requirements for base access. For the states of Washington and Minnesota an enhanced driver's license is acceptable to gain access. Other forms of identification that are acceptable for military facility access are included as an attachment to this modification. Further information on the Real ID Act can be found here: http://www.dhs.gov/real-id-enforcement-brief#.

This shall include but not be limited to the use of sonic, electronic or magnetic detection devices, by noting pull box and utility box locations at the surface, and by potholing. Contractor shall be responsible for repairing any utilities damaged during construction at no additional cost to the Government.

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 http://www.dhs.gov/real-id-enforcement-brief https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/quarantine-isolation.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/quarantine-isolation.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/workplaces-businesses/specific-industries.html https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/workplaces-businesses/specific-industries.html 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.

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

FAR 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.

Critical item means a domestic construction material or domestic end product that is deemed critical to U.S. supply chain resiliency.

The list of critical items is at FAR 25.105.

Domestic construction material means—

(1) For construction material that does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both-

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

(ii) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if– https://www.acquisition.gov/far/2.101#FAR_2_101 https://www.acquisition.gov/far/25.105#FAR_25_105

(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.
