E. Security

1. General: The security requirements described below apply to all contract personnel (including employees of the prime Contractor (“Contractor”) and all subcontractor employees) supporting the performance requirements of this contract. The Contractor is responsible for compliance with these security requirements. Questions regarding security matters shall be addressed to the designated Government representative (e.g., Contracting Officer

Representative (COR), Requiring Activity (RA) representative, or Contracting Officer (if a COR or other RA representative is not appointed)). Contract personnel are critical to the overall security and safety of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) installations, facilities and activities, and security awareness training contributes to those efforts. The Department of Defense (DoD) and Army security training requirements specified below, if applicable, are performance requirements; all applicable contract personnel shall complete initial training within 30 days of contract award or the date new contract personnel begin performance on the contract. Within five business days from the completion of training, the Contractor shall provide written documentation (e.g., email or memorandum) to the Government representative. The documentation shall include the names of contract personnel trained and which training they completed; the Contractor shall maintain training records as part of their contract files and be prepared to provide copies of training certificates to the Government representative. Contractor personnel and vehicles are subject to search when entering federal installations. Additionally, all contract personnel shall comply with Force

Protection Condition (FPCON) measures, Random Antiterrorism Measures (commonly referred to as “RAMs”), and

Health Protection Condition (HPCON) measures. The Contractor is responsible for meeting performance requirements during elevated FPCON and/or HPCON levels in accordance with applicable RA plans and procedures—this includes identifying mission essential and non-mission essential personnel. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the FPCON or HPCON levels at any mailto:daniel.rennaker@usace.army.mil individual facility or installation change, the Government may implement security changes that affect contract personnel. The Contractor shall ensure all contract personnel are aware of their security responsibilities, including any site-specific requirements identified in local policies or procedures.

2. AT Level 1 Training: Contractor(s) will be working within a government facility for more than 30 days ,in this case collective days Block #2 applies. “All contractor and subcontractor employees, requiring access to Army installations, facilities, controlled access areas, OR require network access, shall complete AT Level I Awareness

Training within 30 calendar days after contract start date. The contractor shall submit certificates of completion for each applicable contract employee and subcontractor employee, to the Contracting Officer (COR), within 5 calendar days after completion of training.

https://jko.jten.mil/courses/AT-level1/launch.html

Physical security and access control requirements: All contract personnel requiring physical access to a federal installation or facility shall comply with the access control procedures of that location. Contract personnel requiring unescorted access to meet contract performance requirements on DoD property in the US shall be vetted by the District Security Office using the National Crime database and Terrorist Screening Database. Contract personnel shall comply with all personal identity verification requirements specified in facility policies and procedures. Contract personnel who do not meet requirements for unescorted access to USACE facilities shall coordinate escorted access with the Government representative, as needed. Contract personnel who receive keys, access cards, or lock combinations that provide access to government-owned property shall comply with key and lock control procedures of the RA.

Guidance and forms for the requirements are available on the Nashville District Public Website:

https://www.lrn.usace.army.mil/Business-With-Us/Contract-Security-Requirements/. Contract and sub-contract employees are not authorized to begin work on any contract until investigation requirements have been completed and notification has been made by the COR or the District Security Office.

Nashville District Public Website:

https://www.lrn.usace.army.mil/Business-With-Us/Contract-Security-Requirements/. Contract and sub-contract employees are not authorized to begin work on any contract until investigation requirements have been completed and notification has been made by the COR or the District Security Office.

Because the work is being performed in a restricted area, there are restrictions on use of persons either imprisoned or previously convicted of a felony. The Contractor shall not employ in the performance of this contract any person undergoing a sentence of imprisonment imposed by any court of a State, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, the

Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands, or the US Federal Government. The

Program. This training identifies behavioral indicators and provides guidance reporting suspicious activity.
