1.2.3 Background Checks: The Contractor shall be required to provide background checks on all employees who must access Government secure facilities. Examples are Dams, offices, Welcome Visitor Centers, etc.

General Requirement

Prior to onboarding any employee, subcontractor, or agent for performance under this contract, and strictly prior to initiating any U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) security requirements

(including but not limited to background investigations, e-QIP/NBIS submissions, or Common Access Card (CAC) processing), the Contractor shall conduct an independent, comprehensive pre-employment security and suitability screening. The Contractor is solely responsible for ensuring that only individuals of sound character and conduct are proposed for work on USACE facilities or systems.

Scope of Contractor-Conducted Screening

The Contractor's internal pre-employment screening must be completed at the Contractor's expense. At a minimum, the screening shall include the elements detailed in the table below:

Screening Component and Minimum Requirements:

Criminal History Check: National and local jurisdiction criminal record searches covering a minimum of the past seven (7) years.

Sex Offender Registry: Verification against the Department of Justice National Sex Offender Public Website (NSOPW).

Employment Verification: Confirmation of the previous five (5) years of employment, including inquiries into any terminations for cause or workplace misconduct.

Reference Checks: Minimum of two (2) professional references to assess general character, reliability, and past behavioral conduct.

Suitability and Disqualifying Factors

The Contractor shall review the results of the screening to determine the candidate's suitability for performance under this contract. The Contractor shall not present any candidate for USACE security processing if the pre-employment screening reveals "bad behavior" or derogatory information that would logically preclude the individual from obtaining federal facility or network access.

Disqualifying Category and Description of Derogatory Information:

Criminal Conduct: Felony convictions, pending felony charges, or recent (within 5 years) misdemeanor convictions involving violence, theft, fraud, or drug-related offenses.

Domestic Violence: Any conviction of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence (Lautenberg Amendment compliance).

Workplace Misconduct: Documented history of workplace violence, sexual harassment, gross negligence, or insubordination.

Suitability and Disqualifying Factors

Prior to submitting any candidate's information to the USACE Security Office or the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for official government background processing, the Contractor must provide a written certification.

The certification must state: "The Contractor certifies that a comprehensive pre-employment background and conduct screening has been completed for [Candidate Name] in accordance with contract requirements. No derogatory information or criminal history was identified that would preclude the candidate from performing duties under this contract or meeting USACE security standards."

Government Right of Refusal

Compliance with this pre-screening requirement does not guarantee that the individual will successfully pass the official USACE security adjudication process. The Government retains the absolute right to deny access to USACE facilities, networks, or information to any Contractor employee based on the results of the official government investigation, regardless of the Contractor's preliminary screening results.

1.2.4 Removal of Contractor's Employee(s): All contract employees shall always conduct themselves in a proper manner. The Contractor shall remove or reassign from work under this contract any employee who, in the opinion of the COR, is objectionable or incompetent. The COR may require the Contractor to immediately remove from the work site any employee of the Contractor who is considered incompetent, or who endangers people or property, or whose physical or mental condition is such that it would impair the employee's ability to satisfactorily perform the work. Contractor employees found to be under the influence of any drug or alcohol, mental or physical impairment, negligent in the use of personal safety equipment or established safety policies or procedures, may be subject to immediate removal from the Ouachita, Greeson, and DeGray Lakes Site, depending on the nature of incident. Repeated or continual ongoing safety infractions shall be grounds for removal from all Government facilities related to this solicitation.

Notification of objection by the COR will be made promptly to the Contractor in writing if time or circumstances permit. Otherwise, notification shall be made by telephone and shall be confirmed in writing as soon as possible. These requirements shall not be the basis of any claim for compensation and/or damages against the United States and/or any of its officers or agents. In addition, no such removal will reduce the Contractor's obligation to perform all the work under this contract, and immediate replacement will be made as required.

1.2.5 Management and Administrative Personnel Scope of Work: The Contractor shall provide adequate personnel to conduct appropriate management and administrative duties for all work performed under this contract. These functions include, but are not limited to supervision, personnel management, work planning and scheduling, quality control, maintenance, data entry, recordkeeping, safety, and property management. Multiple responsibilities can be held by single employees. For purposes of this contract, crew leader responsibilities are not considered managerial in nature and are not covered by this Technical Provision (TP). Any general management and or administrative costs (to include Facilities and Equipment Maintenance (FEM) system support) are to be applied to the work being performed as part of the fully burdened CLIN amounts.

1.2.6 Supervision: The Contractor shall establish a defined chain of command including superintendent, contractor representative, and quality control personnel. It is intended that these positions are administrative in nature and required to ensure compliance with contract specifications.

1.2.7 Superintendent: The Contractor shall have a superintendent on site to provide adequate supervision, management, coordination, and work performance management. The superintendent shall possess full authority to act on behalf of the Contractor on all matters related to the contract.

Superintendent shall have a minimum of 2 years experience performing management duties.

3. Have minimum experience of five (5) years in quality control work.

4. The CQCO's time shall be utilized at Ouachita, Greeson, and DeGray Lakes.

The CQCO shall provide inspection of all items of work and rework to ensure conformance to specifications and drawings. Inspection activities performed should also include monitoring of subcontractor performance. The CQC plan shall provide for ongoing inspections of the CQC functions described herein. Government QA inspectors will assure that the CQC plan is being implemented and is effective, but the presence or absence of a Government inspector shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the proper execution of work in accordance with the specifications. All contractor documentation developed to monitor quality control, to include records of deficiencies observed and corrective action(s) taken shall be furnished to the Government monthly. If recurrent deficiencies indicate that the quality control system is inadequate, corrective action will be taken. The COR must approve any proposed changes to the plan prior to its implementation.

2. Identification of declines in quality of product and how substandard performance and deficiencies will be corrected.

3. Employee health and hygiene.

4. Maintenance of facilities and equipment.

5. Preparation and submission of required reports to appropriate Government personnel.

Inspections shall also include subcontractor performance. Government QA inspectors will assure that the CQC plan is being implemented and is effective, but the presence or absence of a Government inspector shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for the proper execution of work in accordance with the specifications.

Compliance inspections shall be documented, and records of deficiencies observed, and corrective actions taken shall be furnished to the Government. If recurrent deficiencies indicate that the quality control system is inadequate, corrective action will be taken. The COR must approve any proposed changes to the plan prior to its implementation.

1.3.5 Accident Prevention/Hazardous Analysis Plan to include Hazard Control Plan and Confined Space Entry Plan in compliance with EM 385-1-1.

The Contractor shall develop, submit, and maintain a comprehensive Accident Prevention Plan (APP) and Activity Hazard Analyses (AHA) in strict accordance with the USACE Safety and Occupational Health Requirements Manual (EM 385-1-1). This safety plan must be tailored to the specific operation, maintenance, and repair activities conducted at Ouachita, Greeson, and DeGray Lakes.

The Contractor shall also be required to complete all appropriate reports and submit them within 24 hours of the accident or 48 hours under unusual circumstances. The COR will provide the Contractor with guidance regarding the proper forms to submit for each type of accident which might occur on the job.

The Contractor shall submit accident exposure and experience incidental to this work in accordance with Section 2, EM-385-1-1.

The Contractor shall be responsible for safeguarding all work sites in all areas. Appropriate signs, warning devices, and barriers will be used to protect the public, Contractor employees, and Government employees where work is being accomplished.

1.3.6 Invoicing: Will be in accordance with the instructions provided in each task order.

1.3.7 ANTITERRORISM AND OPERATIONS SECURITY (AT/OPSEC)

In accordance with OPORD 2013-74, Annex A, the following paragraphs apply to this requirement:

a. General security requirements and guidance: The security requirements described below apply to all contract personnel (including employees of the prime Contractor ("Contractor") and all subcontractor employees) supporting the performance requirements of this contract. 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, to include 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.

b. Antiterrorism (AT) Level 1 training: All contract personnel requiring routine access to Army installations, facilities, and controlled access areas, or requiring network access shall complete initial and annual refresher AT Level I awareness training.

Contract personnel requiring unescorted access to meet contract performance requirements on a DoD installation in the US shall be vetted by the installation/facility Provost Marshal/Directorate of Emergency Services/Security Office using the National Crime Information Center-Interstate Identification Index (commonly referred to as "NCIC-III") and Terrorist Screening Database (commonly referred to as "TSDB"). Contract personnel shall comply with all personal identity verification requirements specified in installation/facility policies and procedures. Contract personnel who do not meet requirements for unescorted access to USACE facilities shall coordinate escorted access with the Government representative, as needed. Contract personnel who receive keys, access cards, or lock combinations that provide access to government-owned property shall comply with key and lock control procedures of the RA.

d. Contract personnel requiring a common access card (CAC): Contract personnel will be issued a common access card (CAC) only if duties involve one of the following: (1) both physical access to a DoD facility and access to DoD information systems or networks; (2) remote access to a DoD information system or network using DoD-approved remote access procedures; or (3) physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple non-DoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of 6 months or more. Before CAC issuance, contract personnel must have at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated Tier 1 investigation or an equivalent or higher investigation in accordance with applicable Army regulations and Homeland Security Presidential Directive-12 (HSPD-12). At the discretion of the RA, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of a fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled Tier 1 investigation with the National Background Investigations Bureau. The RA provides contract personnel with additional information and forms to initiate the CAC issuance process, and/or to initiate background investigations, when required. Contract personnel shall complete these processes within established timelines to avoid delays.

e. Suspicious Activity Reporting training (e.g., iWATCH, CorpsWatch, or See Something, Say Something): All contract personnel shall receive initial and annual refresher training from the RA representative on the local suspicious activity reporting program. This locally developed training provides contract personnel with general information on suspicious behavior, and guidance on reporting suspicious activity to the project manager, security representative or law enforcement entity.

f. Contract personnel requiring access to Government information systems: All contract personnel with access to a government information system (including USACE business systems and CAC-enabled websites) shall comply with applicable DoD and Army regulations and shall use the organization's UserID-Password Administration and Security System (U-PASS) at commencement of services to request network user accounts.
