MCAGCC Access/Security Requirements-Contractor and Contractor-Employee Access Conditions: 1. Access Procedures Are Mandatory: The contractor shall comply with all current access procedures throughout all performance periods under this contract, and changes to these procedures shall not constitute grounds for contractor claims or request for equitable adjustment. All contractor employees are required to obtain business access or permanent business access. Daily access procedures must not be used to circumvent background check requirements outlined below. Attempts to improperly use daily access procedures may result in denial of access to the involved employees. 2. Business Access: Required for contractor employees requiring access for periods from one day to one year. Submit the following: - A valid form of Federal or state government I.D. - If driving a motor vehicle, a valid driver's license, vehicle registration and proof of insurance. - Proof of employment on a valid Government contract (e.g., a letter from the prime contractor including contract number and term). - Proof of an employee background check conducted within the past year covering the previous two years. Contractor employee background checks are conducted at contractor expense. The background check: (a) must establish the employee's citizenship or legal alien status. Acceptable documents include birth certificate, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) forms and passports. (b) must include proof of a criminal records check from the county or state where the employee resided for the previous two years (or length of legal residence for foreign nationals in the U.S. for less than two years). (c) will be subject to Government verification via the FBI National Crime Information Center (NCIC) Interstate Identification Index (III). If the background check is selected for verification, the employee will be required to submit fingerprint records to the FBI Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) database. NCIC checks and fingerprinting will be performed at Government expense. Note: All contractor personnel performing work under this contract requiring access to the military installation shall obtain personal entry and a vehicle pass from the Provost Marshal's Office (PMO) of the Combat Center. For the MCAGCC/MAGTFTC, this process includes the completion of a COMBAT CENTER ACCESS AUTHORITY letter issued by the Regional Contracting Office (NW). 3. Permanent Business Access: Required for contractor employees requiring access for periods from one to three years. Submit all items listed above under "business access." NCIC check and fingerprint of all contractor employees will be conducted at Government expense. Contractor-provided background checks will be reevaluated annually, and will be updated by the contractor as required at the contractor's expense. 4. Emergency Access: Each Marine Corps installation develops its own procedures which allow the contractor quick access without compromising installation security for situations in which contractor response is crucial in order to preserve and/or restore critical facilities. The contractor is responsible for ascertaining and complying with the procedures established by each installation on which it does business. 5. Installation Access Badges: Each Marine Corps installation develops its own procedures for readily identifying contractor employees working on the installation. The installation may either provide access badges to individual contractor employees at government expense or it may require the contractor to provide badges to its employees, at its expense. The contractor is responsible for ascertaining and complying with the procedures established by each installation on which it does business. 6. Denial of Access: The Commanding General of each installation has broad authority to remove or exclude any person in fulfilling his responsibility to protect personnel and property, to maintain good order and discipline, and to ensure the successful and uninterrupted performance of the Marine Corps mission. In the exercise of this authority, the Commanding General may refuse to grant access or may bar contractor employees, including employees who have previously been granted access. Refusal to grant an employee access or barment of an employee does not relieve the Contractor of the responsibility to continue performance under this contract. Among other reasons, access may be denied if it is determined that an employee: a. is on the National Terrorist watch List. b. is illegally present in the United States. c. is subject to an outstanding warrant. d. has knowingly submitted an employment questionnaire with false or fraudulent information. e. has been issued a debarment order and is currently banned from military installations. 7. Employee Identification: Contractor personnel performing work under this contract shall be readily identifiable as an employee of the contractor through the use of uniforms or nametags, or via an alternate method approved by the Contracting Officer. 8. Employee Compliance. The Contractor's employees shall observe and comply with all MCAGCC/MAGTFTC rules and regulations applicable to contract personnel, including those applicable to the safe operation of vehicles, and shall not be present in locations not required for the proper performance of this contract. Contractor personnel and equipment entering a military installation are subject to security checks. Contractor personnel shall follow any direction given by military police, law enforcement, or other security or safety personnel. 9. Contract Termination: The Contractor is responsible for ensuring clearances, permits, passes, or security badges are promptly returned to the issuing activity upon termination of an employee, completion of a project, or termination of a contract or subcontract.
