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 mailto:IPPCustomerSupport@fiscal.treasury.gov http://www.councilfortribalemploymentrights.org/tero-faq/ 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#.

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 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 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 https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/community/clean-disinfect/index.html 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.
