The Contractor is responsible for compliance with these security requirements. Questions regarding security matters shall be addressed to the designated Government representative (e.g., Contracting Officer Representative (COR), Requiring Activity (RA) representative, or Contracting Officer (if a COR or other RA representative is not appointed)). Contract personnel are critical to the overall security and safety of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) installations, facilities and activities, and security awareness training contributes to those efforts. The Department of Defense (DoD) and Army security training requirements specified below, if applicable, are performance requirements; all applicable contract personnel shall complete initial training within 30 days of contract award or the date new contract personnel begin performance on the contract. Within five business days from the completion of training, the Contractor shall provide written documentation (e.g., email or memorandum) to the Government representative. The documentation shall include the names of contract personnel trained and which training they completed; the Contractor shall maintain training records as part of their contract files and be prepared to provide copies of training certificates to the Government representative. Contractor personnel and vehicles are subject to search when entering federal installations. Additionally, all contract personnel shall comply with Force Protection Condition (FPCON) measures, Random Antiterrorism Measures (commonly referred to as “RAMs”), and Health Protection Condition (HPCON) measures. The Contractor is responsible for meeting performance requirements during elevated FPCON and/or HPCON levels in accordance with applicable RA plans and procedures --this includes identifying mission essential and non-mission essential personnel. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the FPCON or HPCON levels at any individual facility or installation change, the Government may implement security changes that affect contract personnel. The Contractor shall ensure all contract personnel are aware of their security responsibilities, including any site-specific requirements identified in local policies or procedures.

10. ANTITERRORISM/OPERATIONS SECURITY:

a) Suspicious Activity Reporting Training (e.g. iWATCH, CorpsWatch, or See Something, Say

Something): The contractor and all associated sub-contractors shall receive a brief/training (provided by the RA) on the local suspicious activity reporting program. This locally developed training will be used to inform employees of the types of behavior to watch for and instruct employees to report suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity. This training shall be completed within 30 calendar days of contract award and within 30 calendar days of new employees commencing performance with the results reported to the COR NLT 5 calendar days after the completion of the training.

b) Pre-screen candidates using E-Verify Program: The Contractor must pre-screen Candidates using the E-verify Program (http://www.uscis.gov/e-verify) website to meet the established employment eligibility requirements. The Vendor must ensure that the Candidate has two (2) valid forms of Government issued identification prior to enrollment to ensure the correct information is entered into the E-verify system. An initial list of verified/eligible Candidates must be provided to the COR no later than three (3) business days after the initial contract award.

a. When contracts are with individuals, the individuals will be required to complete a Form I-9, Employment Eligibility Verification, with the designated Government representative. This Form will be provided to the Contracting Officer and shall become part of the official contract file.

11. SUSTAINABLE OPPORTUNITY:

a) Bio-based: The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) designates certain biobased products for federal procurement and specifies minimum biobased content levels for those products. Any designated product that is being offered or supplied under this contract shall meet USDA BioPreferred’s minimum biobased content level. Visit the BioPreferred web site https://www.biopreferred.gov/BioPreferred/faces/pages/ProductCategories.xhtml for the complete list of designated products and the associated minimum biobased content level requirements.

12. WORK PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS: The Contractor will be responsible for transportation of the cylinder to and from the project. The rehabilitation of the cylinder by the Contractor will include but no limited to the following:

Replacement of seals, cap screws, bronze rod gland, and holding valve cartridge at a minimum.

Cap screws must be torqued down with equipment to reach an accurate torque value.

A full inspection of all parts and the delivery of an inspection report to be provided within two weeks of pick up. The Government will then decide as to what additional repairs are to be made.

The input port at both the rod end and cap end should be made flat and drilled and tapped for a four-bolt flange connection from the hose. This will eliminate the threaded connection that is currently leaking in the field.

Repaint the cylinder and exposed components.

The cylinder must be filled with hydraulic fluid prior to delivery on site.

A technical representative from the factory must be on site to provide guidance during reinstallation of the cylinder into the recess.

The replacement of the hydraulic lines by the Contractor will include the following:

Remove hosing and stainless-steel tubing from the cylinder up to the 90 degree bend of pipe through the lock wall for both the main and auxiliary locks.

Weld on transition pipe to connect new pipe and tubing.

Install new stainless-steel pipe, four bolt flange connections, hose, and both ball valves at the cylinder (rod end and cap end).

All new hose installed should be the same length and a spare provided.

13. SUBMITTALS. Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation; submittals not having a "G" designation are for information only. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government.
