INSTRUCTIONS AND STANDARDS FOR NAVBASE GUANTANAMO BAY CUBA (COMNAVBASEGTMOINST)

11300.3 Base Energy Conservation Regulations

1.2 SUBMITTALS

**************************************************************************

NOTE: Submittals must be limited to those necessary for adequate quality control. The importance of an item in the project should be one of the primary factors in determining if a submittal for the item should be required.

A “G” following a submittal item indicates that the submittal requires Government approval. Some submittals are already marked with a “G”. Only delete an existing “G” if the submittal item is not complex and can be reviewed through the Contractor’s Quality Control system. Only add a “G” if the submittal is sufficiently important or complex in context of the project.

For submittals requiring Government approval on Army projects, a code of up to three characters within the submittal tags may be used following the "G" designation to indicate the approving authority.

Codes for Army projects using the Resident Management System (RMS) are: "AE" for Architect-Engineer; "DO" for District Office (Engineering Division or other organization in the District Office); "AO" for Area Office; "RO" for Resident Office; and "PO" for Project Office. Codes following the "G" typically are not used for Navy projects.

Submittal items not designated with a "G" are considered as being for information only for Army projects and for Contractor Quality Control approval for Navy projects.

**************************************************************************

Government approval is required for submittals with a "G" designation; submittals not having a "G" designation are [for Contractor Quality Control approval.][for information only. When used, a designation following the "G" designation identifies the office that will review the submittal for the Government.] The following shall be submitted in accordance with Section 01330 SUBMITTAL PROCEDURES:

SD-01 Preconstruction Submittals

Entry Approval for Employees[; G][; G, [_____]]

1.3 INFORMATIONAL DATA

1.3.1 Work Force

Due to the sensitive locale of the U.S. Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, foreign nationals from dissident political areas may be excluded and denied entry approval. In general, foreign nationals may be used. The Contractor agrees to dismiss from the site, when directed by the Contracting Officer, any individual whose continued employment is deemed to be contrary to the public interest or inconsistent with the best interest of the national security.

1.3.1.1 Entry Approval for Employees

No employee or representative of the Contractor will be admitted to the U.S. Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba without prior entry approval. The background of Contractor personnel will be screened prior to entry to the U.S. Naval Base, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Contractor shall submit to the Contracting Officer the full name, date and place of birth, and Social Security number of such persons. This information shall be received by the Contracting Officer 45 calendar days prior to the scheduled or desired arrival at the Naval Base.

1.3.1.2 Identification of Employees

The Contractor shall be responsible for furnishing to each employee and for requiring each employee to display such identification as may be approved and directed by the Contracting Officer. Employees may be fingerprinted prior to employment as a condition of entry onto the Naval Base. Prescribed Government identification cards shall be immediately delivered to the Contracting Officer for cancellation upon release of any employee.

1.3.1.3 Waiver for Workers' Compensation

In addition to "FAR 52.228-4, Workers' Compensation and War-Hazard Insurance Overseas," the Department of Labor has granted a waiver of the requirement to provide Defense Base Act coverage for Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The waiver applies to all employees except the following: (1) Employees hired in the United States; (2) employees who are residents of the United States; and (3) employees who are citizens of the United States. For employees for which Defense Base Act coverage has been waived, worker's compensation coverage shall be provided in accordance with the local law of the country of which such countries may require insurance coverage, may involve a self-insurance system, or may be a Government-operated system. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to research the local laws of countries from which it hires nationals. The Contractor is also responsible for taking necessary steps to implement the required worker's compensation coverage. If the Contractor hires employees from a country which does not have a worker's compensation system or from a country for which the country's worker's compensation system has no extraterritorial effect and does not apply for work accomplished in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, then the Contractor will not be required to provide worker's compensation coverage for employees from such countries.

1.3.1.4 Local Labor

Proselytizing of labor, that is the hiring of Government or Contractor on-base employees by offering higher wages or other amenities, shall not be permitted unless a release from the employer is executed or the employee resigns and leaves the base for a minimum of 90 days. Accordingly, labor which the Contractor proposes to use shall be approved by the Contracting Officer.

1.3.1.5 Management Personnel

The Contractor shall be responsible for furnishing the personnel required, with the necessary skills and qualifications, to perform the work as described. Additionally, the Contractor shall provide an individual on-site, who is authorized to negotiate and financially commit change orders for the Principal.

1.3.1.6 Work outside Regular Hours

Normal working hours are 0730 to 1630, Monday through Friday (except holidays). The Government recognizes that, because of the isolation of the Naval Base and the added cost to house and feed a work force, there are mutual benefits in allowing Contractors to work outside normal working hours. For example, Contractors often work six ten-hour days per week. Contractor requests to work outside normal working hours, including blanket request, are often approved. However, the Contracting Officer has full discretion to approve or disapprove, or withdraw approval of, request. If the Contractor desires to work outside normal hours (including Saturdays, Sundays and holidays), he shall submit his request to the Contracting Officer. Some typical constraints on working outside normal working hours are:

a. The Contractor's request must be made at least two days in advance (e.g., request received by Government by close of business Wednesday for work on following Saturday). Prior to submitting the request, the Contractor must coordinate as needed (such as utility outages) and have all required people and materials for the work that will be performed.

b. A Contractor with quality or safety (including camp and material storage site) problems (as determined by the Contracting Officer) will usually be restricted to normal working hours.

c. A Contractor who fails to correct deficiencies within a reasonable time (as determined by the Contracting Officer) usually will be restricted to normal working hours or may be allowed to work outside normal working hours only to correct those deficiencies. d. The Contractor shall schedule his work to cause the least amount

of interference to normal activities. Conflicts, such as disturbing housing occupants after working hours, may be cause for limiting work to normal working hours.

1.3.2 Storage of Materials

**************************************************************************

NOTE: On large jobs, a laydown area shall be identified on the contract drawings (by ROICC or PWD at 100 percent review) and described herein.

**************************************************************************

The Contractor shall store materials only in places where directed. No fire-hazardous materials or flammable liquids shall be stored or otherwise maintained within a building or structure, except as approved, in accordance with the local fire regulations.

1.3.3 Access Roads

The Contractor shall refrain from the use of roads, grounds, or other facilities which have not been specifically authorized for his use.

1.3.4 Availability and Cost of Government Materials and Services

**************************************************************************

NOTE: Prices of services and items shown herein shall be updated by ROICC at 100 percent review.

**************************************************************************

The availability of Government materials, equipment, and services indicated in this specification may vary subject to local supply priority requirements for operations and maintenance of the base. Non-availability will not be considered as an excusable delay under the General Conditions Clause entitled "Changes." The cost of Government materials, equipment, and services reflected in this specification are subject to fluctuation, revision, and adjustment. Changes in rates or prices for goods and services in this and following paragraphs shall not be used as a basis for a change to the contract. However, should the actual rate required to be paid by the Contractor vary by more than 15 percent from that specified, the contract price will be adjusted to reflect the amount by which the rate actually paid varies by more than 15 percent from that specified. Some materials and equipment may be furnished to the Contractor by the Government at current rates subject to 3 days' advance notice in writing. Request shall be made to the Contracting Officer. Equipment will not be available for long-term rental. Short-term equipment rental (1 to 2 days), one-time hauling service, and one-time crane service may be available if there is no conflict with Government workload. Government equipment will not be provided without Government operators.

It is suggested that an employee be appointed as energy monitor by the Contractor for buildings under the jurisdiction of the Contractor.

1.3.19 Drug Abuse by Contract Employees

The Secretary of the Navy has determined that the illegal possession and use of drugs and paraphernalia by civilian and contract employees in the military setting contributes directly to military drug abuse and undermines command efforts to eliminate drug abuse among military personnel. The policy of the Department of the Navy, including the Marine Corps, is to deter and detect drug offenses by civilian and contract employees on military installations. Measures to be taken to identify drug offenses on military installations, and to prevent introduction of illegal drugs and paraphernalia include routine, random inspections of vehicles and personnel possessions on entry or exit, with drug detection dog teams, when available. Where there is probable cause to believe that a civilian or contract employee on board a Naval or Marine Corps installation has been engaged in use, possession, or trafficking of drugs, that employee may be restricted or detained for the period necessary until that employee can be removed from the installation or can be turned over to local law enforcement authorities having jurisdiction, as appropriate. When illegal drugs are discovered during an inspection or search of a vehicle operated by a civilian or contract employee, the employee and vehicle may be detained for a reasonable period of time necessary to turn the employee and the vehicle over to appropriate civil law enforcement officials; action may be taken to suspend, revoke, or deny installation driving privileges. Implicit with the acceptance of this contract is the Contractor's agreement to comply with Federal statutes, laws, and regulations, including those regulations issued by the commander of the military installation.
