The Government may request advanced notification of the time and date of the above AHA Tool Box safety meeting for Contractor employees so that the Government may attend such reviews.

2. The Government will require the Contractor to prepare an AHA for any jobs for which an adequate

AHA does not already exist. A copy of this AHA shall be submitted to the COR and must be accepted before the Contractor starts the job. This copy of the AHA will become the property of the Government. Guidance is included in Attachment 3, which shall be used by the Contractor as a guide for the preparation of required AHA's.

3. A copy of an approved AHA is required for each Task Order issued by the Government. A copy of the approved AHA’s shall be available at all times to workers at each associated job site and a copy shall be provided to the Government.

h. Security Requirements. In an effort to protect the public from criminal activity, e.g., theft, child abuse or molestation, drug trafficking, etc., the Contractor will have state background checks conducted for employees who will be working on site. Since background checks are limited to state information, the Registered Offenders List, a national registry, should also be searched. The results of the background checks and Registered Offenders List search will be submitted to the Contracting Officer within four weeks of contract award and every two years thereafter. The Corps' Pittsburgh District Security Officer will make the final determination on an employee's suitability for work on Government property.
