(e) JOB SITE AVAILABILITY:

The work site will be available for performance during normal business hours:

Monday through Thursday Business Hours: 7:00 a.m. EST to 4:00 p.m. EST

Friday Business Hours: Every other Friday from 7:00 a.m. EST to 3:00 p.m. EST

Fridays will be staggered with every other Friday being a closed business day. The first Friday of 2023 to be closed is January 13, 2023.

Based on the above, service contractors should call contract/purchase order administrator in advance if service is scheduled for a Friday to determine if the Arsenal will be open for business.

When a federal holiday is normally observed on Friday, the Arsenal may be closed on the preceding Thursday. In this case, contact the contract/purchase order administrator in advance if scheduling service to determine if the Arsenal will be open for business.

Work at other than the above hours won’t be allowed unless the contractor makes an application at least 48 hours in advance and gets written contracting officer approval. No guarantee is made that the job site will be made available other than as stated above.

(f) CONTROL OF FOREIGN VISITORS TO WATERVLIET ARSENAL:

Offerors are advised that any employee or representative of their company who is not a U.S. citizen, (or is representing a foreign company) and is a U.S. citizen), planning on visiting the Watervliet Arsenal for the purpose of attending: bid conferences, bid openings, site visits, engineering services, or any other visit related to this solicitation will be escorted at all times by an arsenal representative while on the installation grounds.

Therefore, offerors must notify the Contracting Officer in advance (a minimum of two [2] weeks) of any proposed visit by a non-U.S. citizen or U.S. citizen representing a foreign firm, to assure proper clearance for entry into the arsenal. Failure to comply, or disclose a foreign national visitor, may subject the Contractor to the penalties set forth in 18 U.S.C.A. Section 1001, Chapter 14.

Due to manpower constraints, Watervliet Arsenal is often unable to provide escort services during contract performance. Therefore, if the resulting contract requires performance on Watervliet Arsenal property, employees, individuals or subcontractors representing the successful offeror who are not U.S. citizens may not, depending on staffing levels and the availability of escorts, be allowed access to the Arsenal for purpose of contract performance.

Be further advised that the inability of the Arsenal to provide escorts resulting in denial of access to Watervliet Arsenal of the aforementioned personnel will not be considered an excusable delay to contract performance as defined in the contract clause “Default” contained in the contract. Therefore, offerors should consider the above contingencies during offer preparation.

(h) CONTRACTOR IDENTIFICATION:

Contractor employees shall identify themselves as contractor personnel by introducing themselves or being introduced as contractor personnel and displaying distinguishing badges or other visible identification for meetings with Government personnel.
