The Contractor is responsible to satisfy itself that what the Government provided does so, and to resolve any uncertainty as to this before committing to do the Work. Thereafter, any omission of express reference to specific services or materials reasonably inferred to fall within the project scope, or that are commonly understood within the applicable design profession or building trade as necessary to properly complete a project, will not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to perform or provide such at no additional cost to the Government.

1.1.3 Location

Facilities to be constructed or altered are located at Pope Army Airfield, Fort Bragg, North Carolina. The Base is located approximately 10 miles northwest of Fayetteville, North Carolina. The work shall be accomplished on the Pope Army Airfield.

1.1.4 Free Zone for Construction on Airfield

The Contractor shall coordinate with the Contracting Officer and Fort Bragg's Department of Emergency Services to establish a "FREE ZONE" to accomplish construction activities on the airfield. Contractor shall be required to sign a Free Zone Procedures Agreement outlining the responsibilities associated with operating a Free Zone on the Airfield.

1.1.4.1 Example Free Zone Procedures Agreement

An agreement between _ {Insert Contractor Name} _ and the United States.

1. Intending to be legally bound, I hereby accept the obligation contained in this Agreement and its attachments in consideration of my being grated access to a Military Construction Project on Pope Army Airfield involving a Free Zone. Free Zones (zones containing no protection level resources) are areas established within a Restricted/Controlled area when construction projects and similar

SECTION 01 00 00 Page 1 activities make it in appropriate or impractical to apply normal circulation controls. I understand and accept that by being granted access to a Free Zone and having knowledge of Security Procedures, special confidence and trust shall be placed in me by the United States Government.

2. I understand that all personnel requiring unescorted access to the installation that does not possess a credential authorized to facilitate access must be vetted against government authoritative databases (AFI 31-113).

3. I hereby acknowledge that I have received security indoctrination concerning the procedures applicable to the Free Zone for the project that I am working on.

4. I have been advised that crossing a Free Zone boundary is prohibited unless specific written approval is granted or an escort is present. This boundary constitutes a legal "No Trespassing" area IAW Sec. 21 Internal Security Act of 1950; 50 U.S.C 797. If a "Restricted Area" boundary is crossed, the use of force, up to and including, deadly force or apprehension by Security Forces is authorized. Any breach of the Agreement may result in termination of access to the Free Zone and/or base barment. I recognize that nothing in this Agreement constitutes a waiver by the United States of the right to prosecute for any statutory violation.

5. I have read this Agreement carefully and my questions, if any, have been answered.
