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 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 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.

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

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.
