Tobyhanna Army Depot regulations regarding access, safety, and securi ty, are as follows: SAFETY 1. Tobyhanna Army Depot is an Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Voluntary Protection Program (VPP) site. Tobyhanna Army Depot requires full contractor compliance with all applicable safety regulations and standards. The Contractor is responsible for maintaining, monitoring and enforcing full compliance. SECURITY: NON-RESIDENT/NON-IMMIGRANT ALIENS a. All non-resident/non-immigrant aliens must have approval prior to being permitted access to Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD). Such approval must be obtained by requesting access through the following: apply at the alien-residents embassy; proceed to the U.S. Embassy; proceed to the Department of the Army; p roceed to Army Materiel Command; proceed to U.S. Communications-Electronics Life Cycle Management Command; proceed to TYAD. b. All non-resident/non-immigrant aliens granted access to TYAD are required to be escorted by Government personnel. One Governme nt escort can accommodate a maximum of two non-resident/non-immigrant aliens. c. Due to limited availability of Government personnel, contractors shall not be permitted to employ non-resident/non-immigrant aliens as part of the contractor s on-site work force. Limited exceptions to this restriction may be considered on a case-by-case basis. Such exceptions shall only be considered where a specialized skill or trade is not otherwise available, and even under such circumstances would only be considered for very limited duration, e.g., a few hours/days. However, even if limited exception is considered, access may still be denied. Contractors whose personnel are either denied entry to TYAD or permitted limited entry to TYAD due to the security requirements per taining to non-resident aliens/non-immigrants are not relieved of their obligation to provide the required contract performance and must do so at no additional cost to the Government. Any contractor failing to perform or that fails to perform in a timely m anner under such circumstances may be terminated for default or other contractual remedies as appropriate. d. Due to limited availability of Government personnel, visitors requiring escort may not be permitted access, or access may be limited to a certa in time and duration. SECURITY SEARCHES AND IN-PROCESSING All persons seeking entrance to TYAD must submit to and comply with all security standards and requirements in force at the time such persons are seeking entry. All visitors and contractors, regardl ess of resident status or citizenship, will be subject to vehicle search and intense in-processing by TYAD Security personnel prior to being granted access to TYAD. This security screening process may be time consuming and access may be delayed or denied. CONTRACTOR ON-SITE WORKFORCE A. If a contractor intends to use resident aliens (immigrants) for on-site performance, then prior to the commencement of performance under the contract and within seven (7) workdays of contract award, the Contractor s hall submit to the Chief, Security Division, Tobyhanna Army Depot, a roster of all contractor personnel, inclusive of on-site supervisory or managerial personnel and sub-contractor personnel, that the Contractor anticipates will be performing work on-site. T he roster shall indicate which individuals are U.S. citizens and which are resident aliens (immigrants). The following documentation shall accompany the roster for each individual named on the roster as a resident alien (immigrant): a) a copy of a verif iable form of identification, such as a drivers license or a passport; and b) a copy of a valid Department of Justice Immigration and Naturalization Service Form I-551, Alien Registration Receipt Card (Green Card). B. Within six (6) workdays of the subm ission of the roster and documentation, the Government will have completed the security check and the Contractor shall be notified whether all listed personnel will be permitted to work on-site. However, actual access to Tobyhanna Army Depot by the roster personnel will remain contingent upon such resident alien (immigrant) individuals presenting two (2) forms of identification as they process into the Depot through the Security building: a valid Form I-551, Alien Registration Receipt Card (Green Card ) in addition to at least one other verifiable form of identification. C. The roster which the Contractor submits is amendable. However, up to five (5) workdays w ill be required to perform a security check on any resident alien (immigrant) personnel added to the roster. The Contractor is urged to include contingency or back-up personnel in the original Roster in order to avoid delays due to Roster amendment. D. C ontractors whose personnel are denied entry to TYAD due to the security requirements are not relieved of their obligation to provide the required contract performance and must do so at no additional cost to the Government. Any contractor failing to perform or that fails to perform in a timely manner under such circumstances may be terminated for default or be subject to other contractual remedies as appropriate. E. Contractors who fail to identify any and all resident aliens (immigrants) who will be used for on-site performance and who will seek access to Tobyhanna Army Depot as a worker for o r through the contractor, inclusive of managerial and subcontractor personnel, may be subject to civil and criminal penalties and sanctions as well as contract remed ies. F. Notwithstanding the above requirements, Tobyhanna Army Depot reserves the right to require any contractor to submit an employee roster and to institute security screening of any contractor employees, inclusive of on-site supervisory or managerial personnel and sub-contractor personnel that the Contractor anticipates will be performing work on-site, as determined necessary by the Depot Chief of Security. G. While within the confines of Tobyhanna Army Depot, Contractor employees will adhere to and be governed by all rules, regulations, policies, procedures and directives issued by the Commanding Officer, Tobyhanna Army Depot, and said employees will be required to conduct themselves in the same manner required of Government employees.
