Flash badges do not require a BI. These requirements also apply to all subcontractor personnel working under the contract. The contractor shall bear the expense of obtaining the BIs.

Upon completion of a project, the contractor shall ensure that all dirt, trash, and debris resulting from the construction operations are removed from the work area. Unless directed otherwise in the contract or by the Contracting Officer, disposal of debris shall be made at the contractor's expense and shall be delivered to a state approved disposal site located off the VA grounds and/or CBOC locations.
