The contractor shall provide the KO and COR the name, email address and 24-hour phone number of the designated representative within 10 days of the contract award.

The Contractor shall not hire local nationals (LN’s) to execute any phases of this project. The Contractor shall only hire qualified personnel to execute all phases of this project and be able to present proof of training and experience upon request by the COR. (This includes, but is not limited to, project engineer, on-site manager, materials handling equipment operators (e.g., crane, K-Span, skid loader, mechanic, electricians, welders, and general laborers).

The contractor shall be responsible for providing potable water, food, and transportation for contractor personnel for the duration of this project. The Contractor shall bring enough food and water for their workers to last the entire work day.

The Contractor shall provide delivery drivers with badges for this project. An escort with a badge must be provided by the contractor to supervise workers during construction.

The contractor shall submit a daily by name roster no later than 10:00AM of all employees to the COR.

1.6.4 The contractor shall supply the COR and KO the names of all personnel associated with this project within 10 days of the contract award. The listing shall include the full first and last name, country of origin, and passport number.

It is the responsibility of the Contractor to know and understand the process for Force Protection (FP) screening, badging as site specific, and to know the schedule of events required to ensure enough time is allocated to get employees through the vetting and screening process. Contractors who miss this deadline will be responsible for any delay in the project.

Contractor shall coordinate with the COR to obtain Force Protection (FP) screening, site-specific badging, and to know the schedule of events required to ensure enough time is allocated to get employees through the vetting and screening process.

The Contractor personnel shall comply with all Base Defense Operations Center (BDOC) and Force Protection/Contractor Escort security policies. Violations of these policies may result in termination of the contract. Compliance with security requirements shall not be the basis for failing to complete Work in the required time period. Confine operations to areas within the contract limits indicated. Contractor personnel found outside of the prescribed work area or otherwise in violation of any security requirements shall be detained and removed from the base. Contractor is responsible for providing escorts for their personnel.

Contractor shall comply with all ASP entry/exit and checkpoint security policies. Violations of these policies may result in termination of the contract. Compliance with security requirements shall not be the basis for failing to complete work in the period of performance. The contractor shall coordinate with the COR for security escort requirements for their personnel.

U.S. and NATO Commanders have an “inherent authority” to maintain law and order, security, and discipline necessary to protect the inhabitants of military installations. This authority allows commanders to control access and administration to a military installation and to bar contractors (business entities) and any/all contractor employees from a military installation. A commander’s inherent force protection (FP) authority is independent of an agency’s contracting authority. The vendor acknowledges, by submitting a proposal/offer, that the work requires the prime contractor and all sub- contractors to have access to a U.S. and/or NATO military installation. Contractors and sub-contractors are required to register for installation access in the Joint Contingency Contracting System (JCCS) or the Joint Contingency Interagency Installation Access System (JCIIAS); whichever is operational at the time of proposal submittal. Upon activation of the JCIIAS, Vendors may verify their registration and installation access status at https://www.jccs.gov/OLVRCAC/bta_jccs_login.aspx by selecting the JCIIAS module and logging in with their user name and password. Contractors and subcontractors that have “registered” and obtained a “pending installation access” or an “approved for installation access: status will be authorized access to U.S. and NATO military installations [and project sites] in Afghanistan. Contractors and subcontractors who have a “registered” status and a “barred from installation access” status in JCIIAS will not be authorized access to U.S. and NATO military installations [or project sites] in Afghanistan. Contracting officers may not award contracts to contractors who require but do not have the ability to access the work site. Contracting officers may terminate contractors when contractors lose the ability to access the work site. Contractors must direct subcontractors who have been barred to immediately withdraw from military installations. A prime contractor that fails to take immediate action to remove a barred subcontractor may be terminated for cause or default. A U.S. or NATO Commander’s FP installation access determination is completely unrelated to contracting regulations regarding suspension and debarment authority. Contractor queries related to U.S. installation bar actions must be directed to the USFOR- A Provost Marshal. Contractor queries related to NATO installation bar actions must be directed to the ISAF Joint Command Provost Marshal.

1.7 Safety Requirements

1.7.1 The Contractor shall provide all employees Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to include: hard hats, hearing protection, eye protection, gloves, safety vests, steel-toed boots, and other safety gear as required. The Contractor shall ensure that all subcontractors have the appropriate PPE.

1.7.2 All safety signs shall be in a language that employees understand. Signs warning of the presence of construction hazards shall be posted. They shall be written in Dari, Pashto and English as needed.

1.7.5 In the event work requires excavation and/or trenching, the Contractor, at their own expense, with the approval of the COR, shall submit a plan of operations and schedule to protect and/or avoid damage to existing utilities. The Contractor shall notify the COR prior to any underground trenching and/or excavations, including footer construction (see 1.16 Dig Permits).

1.7.6 Prior to the start of construction, the Contractor shall locate all existing utilities. Any utilities damaged by the Contractor shall be promptly reported to the COR before any repairs made by the Contractor. Should the Contractor damage any unmarked utilities, the Contractor shall notify the COR immediately. The Contractor shall repair all utilities, repair or replace property damaged during construction, and restore services at no cost to the U.S. Government within two days. The Contractor shall notify the COR when service is restored. Any repairs that are made shall be made with like materials or materials that are the same or higher grade than what is being replaced.

1.7.7 Should the Contractor encounter hazardous materials during the construction period of the contract, the Contractor shall immediately stop all work activities in the area where the hazardous material is discovered. The Contractor shall then notify the COR; identify the area of danger; and not proceed with work in that area until given approval from the COR to continue work activities. Hazardous material is considered explosive devices, toxic waste, or material hazardous to health and safety. If the Contractor comes upon unexploded ordnance, chemical/geological weapons, the Contractor shall notify the COR at once.
