2.2 Restricted Areas
BWI Marshall requires that the Primary Contractor develop and submit a Project Security Plan for approval to the BWI Marshall Security Division for all work performed within one of the Airport’s Restricted Areas. The Project Security Plan must include all work performed by the Primary Contractor and all subcontractors that were hired under each separate MAA contract. The Project Security Plan shall be submitted for review and approval thirty (30) calendar days prior to commencement of work to allow the Airport Security Division time to submit a changed condition request to the Transportation Security Administration for approval (49 CFR 1542.107D). It must detail all measures that the Primary Contractor will undertake to implement the following:
A. Identify a Security Liaison for each work site who will be responsible for ensuring compliance by all Primary Contractor and subcontractor personnel to all Airport Security Division and Transportation Security Administration security rules and regulations. Each work site’s Security Liaison (or a designated alternate) shall be present at the work site at all times while work is in progress and be available to respond to the Airport Security Division or Transportation Security Administration or their authorized representatives upon demand. The Project Security Liaison shall be available by telephone during non-working hours for the entire duration of the subject MAA contract.
B. Issue all non-badged personnel under escort hard hats of a single uniform red color and all Contractor personnel, acting as escort, shall have hard hats of a separate, single uniform blue color. All other personnel may use any color hardhat except red and blue.
C. Procure and deploy all fencing, gates, and barriers indicated in the Project Security Plans for the purpose of enveloping, enclosing and securing the work site during both working and non-working hours (see Attachment 1).
D. Identify the number of BWI Marshall ID badge holders with Escort Authority that will be responsible for escorting non-badged employees. Escorts may be conducted by the Contractor’s own personnel (with Escort Authority), an Airport Security Division Approved Private Security Contractor or by the current Airport Security Contractor; however, all escort related costs, of both equipment and personnel, is the sole responsibility of the Primary Contractor. Under normal circumstances, one (1) badge holder with Escort Authority may escort no more than five (5) non-badged workers. Contractor personnel acting as escorts for non-badged personnel shall have no other work-related responsibilities while performing escort duties.
E. All Contractor self-propelled equipment and machinery shall be inspected and shall display a valid airfield registration decal. All other (unregistered) vehicles shall remain under continuous escort while in the work site and while traveling in the restricted areas or to and from the work site.
F. An airfield registered vehicle, driven by a badge holder with appropriate Escort, Power Gate and AOA driving privileges, shall lead all escorted unregistered vehicles, while in any restricted area, to and from the work site at all times and in accordance with established escorting procedures. For convoys of five (5) or more vehicles in number, a second airfield registered vehicle shall be provided by the Contractor to exercise control of the rear of the convoy. The second vehicle shall also be driven by an authorized badge holder with Escort, Power Gate, and AOA driving privileges.
G. All work requiring access through a non-power/unguarded perimeter gate shall be included in the Project Security Plan. Otherwise, a written amendment to the Project Security Plan shall be submitted for approval to the Airport Security Division a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days prior to the commencement of such work. All non-power/unguarded perimeter gates used by escort vehicles and equipment into any of the Airport’s restricted areas shall be staffed by Airport Security Contractor personnel. A minimum of three Airport Security Contract officers shall be present at each perimeter gate being utilized in order to conduct the required searches and logging-in of escorts for both vehicles and individuals. All costs related to Airport Security Contractor personnel and equipment needed to comply with the security requirements of the Airport Security Division for use of non-power/unguarded perimeter gates are the sole responsibility of the Primary Contractor.
H. All work performed within ten feet (10’) of the security perimeter fence shall be included in the Project Security Plan. Otherwise, a written amendment to the Project Security Plan shall be submitted for approval to the Airport Security Division a minimum of thirty (30) calendar days prior to the commencement of such work. If, at any point, the work being performed requires the opening, re-positioning or dismantling of any portion of the security perimeter fence where access into the airport’s restricted area may be gained, the Contractor shall provide an adequate number of security Contractor personnel to maintain security at the work site as determined by the Airport Security Division. If any damage to the security perimeter fence is discovered at any time during the project, the Contractor shall immediately notify Airport Operations at 410-859-7018 and make arrangements to provide Airport Security Contractor personnel to maintain security at the work site of the damage until the damage is repaired by the Contractor and inspected and approved by the Airport Security Division.
I. The Primary Contractor should make provisions to obtain BWI Marshall ID badges for all Contractor personnel working on the project at least three weeks prior to the commencement of work. All individuals who require access into the restricted areas and who are, or believe they will be, unsuccessful in obtaining a BWI Marshall ID badge shall remain under close and continuous escort at all times while in the restricted areas in accordance with D above. All escorted construction personnel shall also provide to the Airport Security Division his/her full name, date of birth and social security number, as required by the Airport Security Division for screening purposes, at least seven (7) calendar days prior to actual date the escort is to be conducted. The information will be utilized to run the individual’s name against the Federal “No-Fly/Selectee List”.
Individuals will be issued an Escort Badge after successful comparison against the No-Fly/Selectee List. Individuals with a positive hit on the No-Fly Selectee List will be denied escorted access into a restricted area until they have successfully cleared their names from the No-Fly/Selectee List.
