SECTION 1 - GENERAL INFORMATION

PLACE OF PERFORMANCE:

ACCESS TO THE SITE:

Work Hours The Contractors are responsible for coordinating with the Government an acceptable time and place for delivery of materials. Construction schedule will follow the Host base work schedule. Federal holidays will affect access to the site.

Utilities An approved AF Form 103 is required before beginning any work involving excavation or utility disturbance. The Government must provide at no cost the contractor with reasonable amounts of water and electricity to support the contract. Hooking up will be to existing outlets and will be the contractor’s responsibility.

POINT OF CONTACT (POC):

Contractor:

The contractor must have an active phone number or email address that can be reached during normal business hours. Contractor is responsible for coordinating with the Government an acceptable time and place for delivery of materials. Federal holidays may affect access to the site.

THE GOVERNMENT - 577 SWES/DIFF

Attempts to reach a POC below should be made in the order they are listed. The first individual listed in the table below is the primary point of contact. All remaining individuals are listed for the purpose of increasing the availability of the team.

MILITARY BASE SECURITY AND SAFETY REQUIREMENTS:

EMERGENCY SERVICES:

Should the contractor experience a medical or fire emergency during the delivery process, the contractor must contact local 911 services. The contractor must also notify a member on the 577 SWES/DIF as soon as possible.

ID BADGE:

The contractor may be required to wear a guest ID badge while on a military base. If a military base requires the use of a guest ID badge, the contractor must abide by the rules and requirements of the base.

TRAFFIC LAWS:

Contractor employees must comply with all base traffic regulations. Contractor employees are subject to random vehicle speed control checks. Contractor personnel cited for speeding on the installation may suffer loss of base driving privileges, debarment from the base, or other administrative action.

RANDOM PERSONNEL AND VEHICLE SEARCHES:

Contractor personnel are subject to random personnel and vehicle searches. If contractor personnel refuse to be searched, they will be denied entry to the base, and may result in loss of base driving privileges, debarment from the base, or other administrative action.

WEAPONS, FIREARMS, AND AMMUNITION:

Contractor employees are prohibited from possessing weapons, firearms, or ammunition, on themselves or within their contractor owned vehicle or privately owned vehicle while on base.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS:

Contractor personnel must immediately report to an appropriate government authority any information or circumstances of which they are aware may pose a threat to the security of Department of Defense personnel, contractor personnel, resources, and classified or unclassified defense information.

EMPLOYMENT:

The contractor must not employ person for the delivery of materials if such employee is identified to the contractor as a potential threat to the health, safety, security, general well-being or operational mission of the military base and its population. Employees of the contractor may be subject to a criminal background check and must be legally employed in the United States.

SAFETY

The contractor must comply with all applicable laws and safety regulations. Compliance with OSHA and other applicable laws and regulations for the protection of employees is exclusively the obligation of the contractor, and the government will assume no liability or responsibility for the contractor compliance or noncompliance with such responsibilities.

DELIVERY AREA

Upon delivery, the contractor must leave the delivery area in a clean, neat, safe and workmanlike condition.

EQUIPMENT AND TOOLS

Notify the government project manager prior to delivery of any material or equipment to the site. The contractor must ensure someone is available to receive delivered materials and able to store them safely in an area to be coordinated with the government project manager. Any materials delivered without prior coordination and without having someone to take receipt, must not be accepted and turned away. All equipment and tools needed to accomplish the delivery of materials must conform to applicable federal, state and local safety requirements.

Disposal of materials and cleanup The contractor must not use any government disposal bins, dumpsters or trash receptacles for any reason at any time. The contractor must provide appropriate disposal bins/trash receptacles. Approval of disposal bins/trash receptacle’s location(s) must be coordinated through government project manager. The contractor must not allow debris to leave the work area due to potential damage to aircraft engines. Contractor must coordinate with the base Environmental Management Office (EMO) prior to disposing of any materials off base. All debris or trash must be disposed of off base. All demolition debris must be disposed of at a permitted landfill, with landfill authorization, unless other arrangements have been coordinated through the EMO. Provide proof of landfill disposal from the landfill that accepts the materials. This may be accomplished by providing the government project manager with landfill receipts; waste manifests, or weight tickets from the landfill that accepts the construction debris. Contractor must clean up after each work period and dispose of all debris at the close of each day.

CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

QUALIFICATIONS

The contractor must ensure that affected employees have current professional certifications and/or licenses necessary before starting work. The Government reserves the right to require the contractor to furnish proof of certifications and/or licenses necessary from any employees engaged by the contractor for the accomplishment of work involved under this contract.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST:

The contractor must not employ any person who is an employee of the United States Government if employing that person would create a conflict of interest.

Materials The contractor shall not order, deliver or install any materials without the Governments approval or remove any materials on site, which have not been properly approved.
