Access is limited to those persons who have official business related to the mission and operations of the MWEOC and who are U.S. citizens or have been granted an exception by the Executive Director, or his/her designee. Contractor employees requiring access to the MWEOC facility must receive a favorable police records check. The Government will perform the police records check after receipt of the MOUNT WEATHER ACCESS APPLICATION form. Sponsors of Contractor employees requiring MWEOC access must be U.S. Government personnel. All access requests shall be submitted through the Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) or Government Point of Contact (GPOC) to the MWEOC Emergency Services Division. Visitors shall complete Section C of the MOUNT WEATHER ACCESS APPLICATION form and submit it to the COTR or GPOC who will complete Section A and forward it to the MWEOC Emergency Services Division for processing. Contractors are responsible for arranging for facility access for their delivering transportation companies and advising them of MWEOC's controlled access requirements (see paragraph g. below). Access requests must meet criteria as defined in 44CFR Part 15, Subpart A and HSPD-12. Individuals who do not receive a favorable police records check will be refused access to the MWEOC facility. b. MOUNT WEATHER ACCESS APPLICATION forms must be TYPED and shall be submitted through the COTR or GPOC to the MWEOC Emergency Services Division at least seventy-two (72) business hours prior to the need to enter the facility. c. An original or certified proof of citizenship document is required and must be presented for persons born abroad. Acceptable documents are: Certification of Birth abroad issued by the Department of State, Naturalization Certificate, US Citizen ID Card, or US issued Passport. d. Entry to the facility is controlled by a badge system. A badge will be issued to each Contractor or Subcontractor employee requiring access to the MWEOC facility. The employee must present a verification of identity containing the employee's name and photograph (i.e., Vehicle Operator's License, Government issued ID, passport, etc) before a badge will be issued. Persons inside the facility must prominently display badges, above waist level, at all times. Badges are the property of the Government and must be returned to the Main Gate Visitor's Center (Bldg. 911) when the employee departs the facility. Lost or stolen badges shall be promptly reported to the MWEOC Emergency Services Division by completing a lost badge report which can be obtained at the Main Gate Visitor's Center (Bldg. 911). e.

MWEOC facility access for deliveries: 1) Contractor's shall submit the MOUNT WEATHER ACCESS APPLICATION form through the COTR or GPOC at least seventy-two (72) business hours in advance of all shipments scheduled for delivery to the MWEOC. The COTR or GPOC will forward the access application to the Mt. Weather Emergency Services Division for processing. 2) Deliveries to the warehouse receiving area will be accepted on regular workdays, between the hours of 7:00 AM and 3:00 PM. Deliveries beyond these hours must be coordinated through the COTR or GPOC and will depend on available warehouse personnel. 3) Deliveries to other areas within the MWEOC facility may be made at anytime provided that the COTR, GPOC or Contractor Point of Contact is available and willing to accept delivery. It is the Contractor's responsibility to coordinate deliveries with the COTR or GPOC to ensure MWEOC access is granted and the delivery will be accepted. MWEOC is not responsible for delays or deliveries that cannot be made because the Contractor fails to observe these procedures. 4) Contractor's making deliveries on a fixed schedule may submit a single access application for each delivery employee and provide information for a regular delivery schedule. Delivery schedule changes must be reported immediately to the COTR or GPOC. h. Requesting intermittent unescorted access: MWEOC Emergency Services Division will perform National Crime Information Center (NCIC) checks to screen individuals for intermittent unescorted temporary access. The following requirements apply: 1) The need for intermittent unescorted access must be work related and temporary in nature (less than 180 days) with no Government IT system access. If the need for intermittent unescorted access exceeds 180 days additional security checks must be completed and may include fingerprinting. 2) Intermittent unescorted access exceeding 180 days (not to exceed 1 year) and ANY access to Government IT systems will require a favorable fingerprint check from FEMA Headquarters Security prior to access being granted. This may take one to three weeks. 3) If the NCIC check indicates the applicant meets FEMA established "Pre-Employment Screening Guidance for Suitability" for temporary access, intermittent unescorted access will be granted immediately by the issuance of a "Daily Temporary Visitors" badge. If a prospective visitor has a background or clearance with the Contractor or other Government agency, their Contract Security Office shall fax the information to FEMA Headquarters Security at 202-646-2890 and the MWEOC Emergency Services Division at 540-542-2067 4) Any NCIC check which does not meet the "Pre-Employment Screening Guidance for Suitability" for temporary access is cause for immediate denial of access. An unfavorable NCIC check will require fingerprinting if requested by COTR or GPOC for possible mitigation. Fingerprint submission to FEMA Headquarters Security is necessary for approval determination. If this is required, no access will be granted until the individual is approved by FEMA Headquarters.
