d) PRINCIPAL FEATURES: The work to be performed will include, but is not limited to, the following items in accordance with the Contract documents:

1) GENERAL REQUIREMENTS (See Exhibit A Line Item 001): Cost for this ELIN will be computed based on a percent of the total summed construction ELINs combined and be included for each task order.

The contractor shall provide and implement General Requirements that include, but not limited to: progress schedules, construction progress documentation, submittal procedures, quality control for minor construction including density testing and submitted results, temporary environmental controls, environmental protection, temporary storm water pollution control (such as required Best Management Practices (BMPs)), and construction and demolition waste management.

2) CLEAR & GRUBB See Exhibit A, Line Items 002A, 002B, 002C, 002D, and 002E): Cost for these ELINs will be on a per acre (AC) basis for Light, Medium, and Heavy vegetation clearing and grubbing and for select tree clearing and grubbing on a per each (EA) tree basis.

Seed will conform to AMS-01. Weed seed will not exceed 1% by weight of total mixture. Wet, moldy, or otherwise damaged seed will be rejected. The percentage of pure live seed of each kind in each container or bad seed delivered will be computed by multiplying the percent germination by the percent purity and dividing by 100. The percentage of pure live seed of each kind multiplied by the new weight of the container or bag will indicate the number of pounds of pure live seed of each kind in the container or bag.

A RAPIDGate identification credential will only be issued to an employee, at any tier, if the employee requires access to Fort Drum more than twice per week or when the Contract spans more than 30 days. Vendors, Contractors, and sub-contractors are responsible for all costs associated with their enrollment in RAPIDGate. Contractor employees, at any tier, who require access to Fort Drum twice per week or less often will be required to sign in daily. A RAPIDGate identification credential will only be issued to a Contractor’s employees if the Contractor participates in the RAPIDGate Program. The RAPIDGate Program is a mandatory program.

d. The Contractor shall provide information as required by the RAPIDGate Program Contractor (RPC) to enable the Contractor to conduct a criminal history background check (CHBC) on Contractor employees who are to have access to Fort Drum. The Contractor is responsible for paying the RPC the Contractor’s company registration fee and the fee per employee for conducting the CHBC and issuing the RAPIDGate identification credential. If the CHBC is not adverse, a RAPIDGate identification credential will be sent to the Fort Drum Physical Security Division by the RPC where the Contractor’s employee will present the required I-9 documents to be vetted and will then be issued the RAPIDGate identification credential. If the CHBC is adverse, the RPC is prohibited from issuing a RAPIDGate identification credential to the Fort Drum Physical Security Division. If a RAPIDGate identification credential is denied for any reason, the Contractor’s employee may request adjudication or a waiver from the installation. If a Contractor’s employee is denied a RAPIDGate identification credential for any reason, the employee will not be allowed access until the case is adjudicated or a waiver is requested and approved.

If the RAPIDGate identification credential cannot be returned within the required time frame for any reason, the Contractor shall immediately notify the RPC and Physical Security Division verbally, followed up in writing the next work day. Email notification is authorized. An employee’s inability to obtain entrance to a Government installation because they do not have the required identification badge or visitor’s pass shall not excuse timely performance of the requirements of this Contract. RAPIDGate identification credentials are currently issued at the Fort Drum Physical Security Division located in the Fort Drum MP Station. The Government may change the location at which RAPIDGate identification credential are issued or returned, with or without advance notice to the Contractor. Any such changes shall not be a basis for adjusting the Contract price under any clause of this Contract.
