ACCESS TO JBLM

1.1. Each contractor employee who requires access to JBLM to perform work under any contract, at any tier, must obtain either a Fast Access identification badge or a visitor’s pass to obtain access. Contractors and its employees shall adhere to all applicable JBLM security and traffic laws. Procedures for commercial vehicle access to JBLM are subject to change without prior notice. Current information concerning road conditions may be obtained by calling (253) 967-1733.

1.2. FAST ACCESS PROGRAM

1.2.1. A Fast Access identification badge will only be issued to an employee, at any tier, if the employee requires access more than twice per week. A Fast Access identification badge will only be issued to contractor employees if the contractor participates in the Fast Access Program. The Fast Access Program is a voluntary program. Companies must be listed on the Contractors Authorized List (CAL).

1.2.2. The contractor shall provide information as required by the Fast Access Program Contractor, Eid Passport, Inc. (EID), to conduct a criminal history background check (CHBC) on contractor employees needing access. The contractor is responsible for paying all fees for conducting the CHBC and issuing the Fast Access identification card. If the CHBC is not adverse, a Fast Access identification badge will be issued to the contractor employee. Contractor employees with an adverse CHBS are prohibited from being issued a Fast Access identification badge. Contractor employees denied a Fast Access identification badge may only enter JBLM by obtaining a visitor’s pass; however, if the contractor employee does not meet the criteria for being issued a Fast Access identification badge, the Government may, at its sole discretion, decide not to issue a visitor’s pass to the contractor employee.

1.2.3. Contractors participating in the Fast Access Program may enter the installation through any Fast Access lane except during Force Protection (FP) Level Charlie or Delta. During FP Level Charlie or Delta, all contractor vehicles must enter through a commercial vehicle inspection point (CVIP). All passengers in the contractor vehicle must have a Fast Access identification card; otherwise, the contractor vehicle must enter through a CVIP and obtain visitor’s passes.

1.2.4. Fast Access is valid at the gates specified in the contractor access gates table below. The contractor may use any lane.

1.2.5. If the Fast Access Program is terminated for any reason, the contractor will be allowed access only through the Logistics Center Gate, the D St. Gate, and the McChord Field CVIP Gate or, when they are closed, the Madigan Gate.

1.2.6. If an employee no longer performs work under the contract, the contractor shall return the identification badge to the Visitor Center within two (2) calendar days of such change. If the identification badge cannot be returned within the required time frame for any reason, the contractor shall immediately notify both Fast Access Program contractor and the Visitor Center verbally, followed up in writing the next work day. Email notification is authorized. An employee’s inability to obtain entrance to JBLM because he/she does not have the required identification badge or visitor’s pass shall not excuse timely performance of the requirements of this contract. Badges are currently issued at the JBLM-Lewis Main Visitor Center. The Government may change the location at which identification badges 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.

1.2.7. Fast Access identification badges shall not be reproduced or copied by the contractor, its subcontractors, or its employees. If an identification badge is lost, stolen, or reproduced, the contractor shall verbally report the loss, theft, or reproduction to both the RPC and the Visitor Center on the day such loss, theft, or reproduction is discovered, followed by a written report of the circumstances to both the Fast Access Program contractor and the Visitor Center within one (1) calendar day after the loss, theft, or reproduction is discovered.

1.2.8. The Fast Access identification badge shall not be used for access to any Government installation except for performance of work under the contract for which it was issued.

1.2.9. The contractor shall, upon expiration or termination of the contract, collect all identification badges and return them in to the COR.
