2.9 Protection of Classified and/or Sensitive Materials. All contract employees, including subcontractor employees who are not in possession of the appropriate security clearance, will be escorted in areas where they may be exposed to classified and/or sensitive materials and/or sensitive or restricted areas.

3.0 SPECIFIC SERVICES.

3.1 Initial and Follow-on Equipment Acquisition and Configuration. Because of the relative newness of employing robotic techniques to perform MMRP services and conduct OMRS one of the initial contract requirements will be for the Contractor to procure and configure as necessary equipment including, but not limited to robotic equipment to complete the objectives described herein and in subsequent task orders. The Government prefers robotic equipment that minimizes capital cost utilizing commercially available off-the-shelf components and technology to the greatest extent practical and economically advantageous. Additionally, it is envisioned that with Contracting Officer approval, the acquisition and configuration of long term leased equipment to augment GFP inventories would be supported under this contract and subsequent task order(s). It is envisioned that Contractor cost incurred for short term equipment rentals would be included in Contractor prices for work of specific projects as project requirements dictate. All acquired robotics equipment should employ industry standard robotics safety features (to be specified as a task order requirement). In any event the Contractor is not precluded from using rented or leased equipment or from using Contractor owned equipment in lieu of, or to augment GFP to provide services and meet contract/task order objectives.

3.2 Storage, Maintenance and Transportation of Government Furnished Property. The Contractor shall store, maintain (i.e., perform preventative and corrective maintenance) and transport as necessary all GFP including robotics equipment acquired under this Contract and as described by subsequent task orders.

3.3 Corporate UFP-QAPP and Corporate Accident Prevention Plan. The Contractor shall prepare and maintain a Corporate UFP-QAPP approved by the Contracting Officer that addresses all of the typical conventional MEC and MPPEH related operations contemplated under Section 1.0 Objective and subsections. This Corporate UFP-QAPP will be structured IAW Data Item Description (DID) HNC-001.02, EM 200-1-15; EM 385-1-1; EM 385-1-97 including Errata Sheets and Changes; Intergovernmental Data Quality Task Force Uniform Federal Policy (UFP)- QAPP Manual: and other Interim Guidance and DIDs as appropriate. The Corporate UFP-QAPP shall additionally include as an appendix a Corporate Geophysical Investigation Plan prepared generally IAW DID HNC-003.02. The Corporate UFP-QAPP/QAPP shall also include as an appendix a Corporate Property Management Plan (PMP) which prepared IAW FAR 52.245-1 shall address Government Furnished Property (GFP) issuance and Contractor acquisition of Contractor Acquired Property (CAP). The Contractor shall prepare and maintain a Corporate Accident Prevention Plan (APP) in accordance with EM 200-1-15. The Corporate APP shall be approved by the Contracting Officer and shall address all the typical hazards associated with conventional MEC and MPPEH related operations that may be encountered during work within the 50 States. Site Specific UFP-QAPP and APP addenda designed to complement the Corporate UFP-QAPP and APP will normally be required for each individual work location. It is envisioned, however, that for some projects sufficient site/project information may be known which would permit the submission of such project/site specific UFP-QAPP and APP information as part of the Contractor’s Task Order proposal with Task Order award constituting acceptance of the UFP-QAPP and APP addenda. However, for projects identified by the Government as requiring a rapid response, and/or projects which require a Contractor conducted initial site assessment to facilitate proposal preparation, submission of these addenda with the Contractor’s proposal may not be necessary, but rather would be made available on-site by the Contractor, and shall be subject to quality assurance (QA) review and ultimate acceptance. Additionally, it is envisioned that collectively, the Corporate APP and Contractor prepared addenda for the project site of concern would contain information (as well as additional information) which normally would be submitted as a separate Abbreviated Site Safety and Health Plan (ASSHP) thus permitting site assessment and other Contractor conducted site activities.

3.4 Task Orders. Task orders issued under this Contract may be Firm-Fixed Price, and/or Cost Plus Fixed Fee incorporating Service Contract Act wages, as applicable, depending on the type of work being performed in each individual task order.
