This entails ensuring that those personnel with a valid need to enter the secure area are appropriately registered and badged by Contractor security staff before entering, that doors to offices in areas through which uncleared personnel must transit are closed, and that occupants present in such spaces are given prior notification of the impending entry of uncleared personnel so as to preclude any inadvertent unauthorized disclosure of classified/sensitive information.

This includes feeding classified waste into the destruction machine, and remaining with the trash until all material is properly disposed. Carts for collection of classified waste will be provided by the Government.

(9) Three people are required to operate the classified waste materials destruction machine. The Contractor will NOT be required to provide additional personnel, however, on the days classified waste is destroyed, even though such document destruction may from time to time impact security escort service. This situation will NOT be considered cause for complaint by the Government. Destruction of classified materials will be accomplished as often as necessary, but no less than twice each week. All safety equipment used while operating the destruction machine will be provided by the Government. In the event of a problem with the destruction machine, wherein Contractor employees are required to remain with it beyond the end of the normal duty day, additional time worked will NOT be paid as overtime. All classified materials destruction and cleanup shall be scheduled for performance during the normal duty hours of 7:00 am to 5:30 pm. Contractor employees are not required to be armed, and uniforms, radios, pagers, and vehicles are NOT required.
