No contractor representative(s) will be allowed to travel within the government facility unescorted at any time, due to the current building security regulations.

All work shall be performed by competent technicians, experienced and qualified to work on the specific equipment listed herein, and all work performed shall be of good quality in accordance with good commercial practice.

The Contractor must supply all tools, equipment, etc. necessary to perform maintenance as specified herein or as may be required or specified in the Operation and Maintenance manual.

Product Improvements

As product improvements are generated which are applicable to the equipment covered in this contract, the contractor shall provided a detailed explanation and installation pricing information to the COR for review for future installation.

Upon approval by the COR, the contractor shall make suitable modification kits available for retrofit installation into the equipment on a scheduled basis.

The cost for such modifications and installations are not included under the provisions of this contract and shall be billed individually upon completion of such modifications.

Facility Access and Security

Contractor personnel shall satisfy all security requirements as specified below. Failure to meet these requirements within a reasonable time period, unless otherwise explicitly specified, will be grounds for suspension or termination of al building and/or computer privileges and removal from work on this Contract until such time as the requirement is fulfilled.

Contractor personnel requiring unescorted physical access to the Government facilities will be required to submit personal identifying information (full legal name (first, middle, and last), date of birth, state-issued driver's license or identification card number and the state that issued it, and name as it appears on the card) and may be subject to a criminal history check. Visitors who are not subjected to the criminal history check will be escorted at all times by someone who has been issued a permanent Government Identification Badge. The cost of conducting the criminal history check is the responsibility of the Government. The contractor shall pre-screen all personnel requiring physical access to the property to ensure they are legally able to work in the U.S. and are not currently sought by law enforcement authorities. Adjudication of information discovered during or after the criminal history check is solely the responsibility of the Physical Security Officer. Being admitted entry into a Government facility based on a finding of no criminal history does not convey any security clearance. Contractor personnel's physical access privileges may be revoked at any time because of personal misconduct, including any type of safety or security-related misconduct, criminal conduct, Psychological instability, including illegal use or possession of controlled substances or financial irresponsibility.

If authorized access to a Government facility, each contractor representative shall have their picture taken and a permanent badge issued. Contractor personnel shall conspicuously display, on his/her person, a Government-provided identification badge while on-site. The identification badge and associated data shall be kept in a Government-maintained computer database for security purposes. All contractor personnel must provide photo identification when requested by any Government security personnel. Badges issued to the contractor's personnel remain the property of the Government, must be protected from loss or damage, and must be relinquished to any Government security personnel when requested, or upon completion of the Contract work.

Contractor employees performing on this Contract are required to complete the VA's on-line Security and Privacy Awareness Training courses annually. Contractors must provide signed certification of completion to the COR during each year of the Contract. This requirement is in addition to any other training that may be imposed by the Government.

When contractor personnel are on-site at the Government facility, contractor personnel shall follow all established regulations, policies and standard operating procedures applicable to the facility. Violations of Government regulations and policies may result in the contractor's personnel being removed from the premises and may result in termination of the Contract for default. The Government shall not be responsible for any of the contractor's costs for replacement of personnel removed from the premises for reasons associated with safety, security, and unprofessional or inappropriate conduct.

The contractor shall obtain all necessary licenses and/or permits required to perform the work. The contractor shall take all reasonable precautions necessary to protect persons and property from injury or damage during the performance of this Contract.

Failure to complete the work by the required completion date, caused by delays in requesting security clearances, or due to revocation of access privileges resulting solely from the actions of the contractor or their personnel, is not sufficient reason to warrant an extension in the Contract time or amount.

The Government reserves the right to order contractor personnel off the premises and take other security precautions in the event of an emergency, Government shutdown, times of elevated security risk, or any other reason deemed necessary by Government management or security staff. Contractor personnel must immediately leave the site and may not return until authorized by the COR.

Only business directly related to this Contract may be conducted at the Government facility. Contractors may only be on-site when conducting business actually associated with the performance of this Contract.

The contractor, when notified of an unfavorable determination by the Government, shall withdraw the employee from consideration from working under this Contract.

Failure to comply with the personnel security requirements may result in termination of the Contract for default.
