SECTION 01 14 00 WORK RESTRICTIONS

A. Perform administrative job related requirements necessary for the proper conduct of the Work as indicated in this section and to comply with the General Conditions.

1.2 SUBMITTALS

A. Project Safety Program: Provide Project Safety Program for review and approval by the COR.

1.3 COORDINATION AND ACCESS TO SITE

A. The work is at a critical facility which must remain operational 24 hours a day 7 days a week.

The Contractor must not interfere with or disrupt air traffic operations. The work shall not discharge static electricity, damage, or interfere with other equipment at the facility, and security shall not be compromised.

B. General Area Requirements: The Contractor must confine operations, activities, storage of materials, and employee parking within the project boundaries and the approved staging and loading/unloading areas. Any additional space the Contractor deems necessary must be submitted to the COR for review and approval, or be obtained off site, at no additional cost to the Government.

C. Security Requirements: This project is on a restricted entry site and no compromise of the security system in any nature or of any duration may be made without prior approval of the Contracting Officer. Generally, such compromises, when approved, will be less than 24 hours in duration.

D. Facility Access Badges: A temporary access badge is required for each person, who must be a U.S. citizen, to access the site. There are two types of temporary access badges available for the Contractor: a security badge, which requires a background check and grants escort privileges, and a visitor's badge, which does not require a background check and requires being escorted while on site. The security badge will be limited in number and is intended for a few lead installers who will routinely be on site supervising the work and escorting their workers, subcontractors, and vendors. The visitor's badge is intended for non-supervisory crew members, delivery drivers, and other support or occasional personnel, who must be escorted while on site.

Badges must be worn by all people in plain sight at all times while on site.

1. Security Badge: In order to conduct work on site, the contractor must obtain security clearances and security badges for the lead project installers. The estimated amount of time necessary to fill in the security clearance application and visit the FAA Security Officer on site (including picture taking and security briefing/training) for photo ID badging is approximately eight hours for each applicant. After the security clearance application is submitted to the FAA, it may take up to three weeks to process the application and approve the person for security badging. Then it will take approximately

WORK RESTRICTIONS 01 14 00 - 2

one hour on site to be entered into the facility security system. Personnel without security badges will not be allowed to work on site unless they are escorted by badged contractor personnel with escort privileges, or by badged FAA personnel with escort privileges as a last resort. Delays caused by the unavailability of FAA personnel for escorting contractor personnel will not be grounds for project cost or schedule adjustments. The Contractor must ensure that all Government issued security badges are returned to the Contracting Officer prior to final acceptance of the project.

2. Visitor Badges: Each work day, the Contractor will be responsible for ensuring that all

Contractor personnel, upon entering the premises, present proper Government-issued photo identification, such as a valid driver’s license, and receive a Government visitor badge from the Facility Security Office and wear the badge in sight when on the premises. The visitor badges are generally issued for up to one day, as determined by the Facility Security Office.

3. The Contractor must ensure that the badges are turned in when they leave the site, or at the end of the day or specified period, and upon termination or completion of the employee’s work on the project. At least five days before the pre-construction meeting and prior to commencement of work, the Contractor must provide the COR with a list of names of all personnel who will be working at the site, in alphabetical order, with their last name, first name, driver’s license number and state, company name and their telephone number. The Contractor must revise the list as required to remain current. The Contractor shall notify the COR in writing when personnel are no longer employed by the Contractor of subcontractor, or when they no longer have work at the site. Prior to receiving their badges, all Contractor personnel must attend a security briefing, up to one hour in length, to be conducted on site by the Facility Security Office. Contractor personnel will not be permitted to enter the site without a badge.

E. Some areas in the facility are classified as controlled areas that require government escort of

Contractor’s personnel. Contractor’s personnel must not violate any security regulations pertaining to the facility. The Contracting Officer has the authority to remove anyone from the site, including anyone who is determined to be a security risk. This authority extends to the entire complex, not just the buildings.

F. The Government has the right to search anything or anyone at any time on the facility. If, in the judgment of facility personnel, there is a cause to search a vehicle, container, or person, such a search will be made.

G. Contractor Deliveries: The Contractor must provide an individual, submitted to and approved by the COR, who will be responsible for arranging site access for periodic or unscheduled Contractor deliveries. This individual must coordinate with the COR and facility security personnel, prior to the delivery, for site access of the delivery vehicle. Facility security personnel must be provided, at a minimum, with the name of the vendor, the driver’s name, and the purpose for site access. Delivery vehicles arriving at the gate without prior notice and acceptance will be denied access. Delivery vehicles shall only contain items being delivered to FAA; if vehicles contain deliveries for recipients other than FAA at the Jacksonville ARTCC, the vehicle will not be allowed on site. The Contractor assumes complete liability for the actions of delivery personnel and vehicles while on site.
