PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 SECURITY/TRAFFIC CONTROL

A. General: Rhode Island Air National Guard facilities are controlled access Federal Military Reservations. As such, there are strict controls over access to these facilities. Procedures instituting these controls have been developed and will be delineated and explained in these specifications and/or in the pre-construction conference.

1. All vehicles entering Rhode Island Air National Guard Bases do so with the understanding that they will be subject to periodic inspections for contraband or Government property. Any person found with unauthorized Government property in his/her possession will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

2. In the event an employee of the Contractor terminates employment with the Contractor, or is no longer assigned to a construction job on a Rhode Island National Guard Installation, the Contracting Officer should be notified immediately to be aware of potential unauthorized access.

3. Should the contract requirement necessitate being on the flight line at the Rhode Island Air National Guard Base, vehicle passes with authorized flight line access will be required. However, unless the passes state flight line access and the Contractor has business in the flight line area, Contractor employees are not allowed anywhere near aircraft operating areas.

4. In order to facilitate issuance of vehicle passes, the Contractor shall provide to the Contracting Officer, a list of individuals who will be working on this contract and the length of time they are expected to be working. This list shall include all subcontractors working on the contract.

5. Material suppliers are normally given one day passes, however, if the supplier will be making frequent deliveries, notify the Contracting Officer and a pass to accommodate the situation will be issued. The Contractor is cautioned to give suppliers the exact title of the job and location of where materials are to be delivered. Do not send supplies to a military warehouse. The Contractor is cautioned to also instruct suppliers that gate guards, if applicable, will not sign for deliveries. Contractor personnel shall be present to receive deliveries.

6. Blocking of Streets: In the event the Contractor or any subcontractor finds it necessary to barricade any street or road on base, the Contracting Officer must be notified at least 24 hours in advance. Adequate notification must be given in order to coordinate rerouting of emergency vehicles.

7. Material and Tool Safety: The Contractor is solely responsible

SECTION 01 14 00 Page 1 for the securing of its tools, equipment and materials. The U.S.
