Visitor Badges are valid only on the day of issue, and a new Visitor Badge must be issued for any subsequent visit. Flash, Non-PIV, and PIV Badges will be issued by the PIV Office in Human Resources. These badges will be issued following sponsorship and credentialing procedures detailed below: The COR will initiate the process for Flash, Non-PIV, and PIV Badges by submitting a request to the PIV Manager to complete Form OMB No. 2900-0673, Request for Personal Identity Verification Card, for the contractor requiring a badge. For Flash and Non-PIV Badges, the COR will ensure that the contractor is appropriately sponsored by the PIV Manager, who will sponsor the contractor by certifying the completed Form OMB No. 2900-0673 (in Section 3), establishing the need for a credential to be issued to the contractor. For PIV Badges, the COR will serve as the sponsor by certifying the completed Form OMB No. 2900-0673 (in Section 3), establishing the need for a credential to be issued to the contractor.

At no time shall vehicles be parked on roadways, patient parking areas, the loading dock, etc. Coordinate use of the loading dock for loading/unloading material with the COR. Materials shall not be deposited on the loading dock for any length of time. There is no guarantee for laydown of testing equipment. The CVVAMC shall not provide an extensive area for storage of testing equipment. Again, scheduling and coordination with the CVVAMC will be critical. Interim Life Safety Measure (ILSM) Permit may be required for staged testing equipment due to increased combustible loading. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to ensure their testing equipment remain secure.

Utility Shutdowns: The Contractor must coordinate and request a shutdown with the VA prior to shutting down or interrupting any utility system. The Contractor shall provide a minimum of 21 calendar days of notice for a utility shutdown. The Contractor shall make every effort possible to reduce the amount and duration of impacts of utility shutdowns. Requests to shutdown utilities are dependent upon the Medical Center's ability to maintain normal operations. Should a request be denied due to clinical needs, the COR shall inform the contractor of alternate dates and times that meet the Medical Center's needs. Before initiating any work or portion thereof, a specific work plan, which is to include procedures to be used on and near the energized electrical equipment, barriers to be installed, safety equipment to be provided and exit paths identified shall be developed. This plan shall be reviewed by CVVAMC staff and documented.
