Military Base Requirements
Most often, when working on a military base, you will be
required to show your personal identification (drivers license
if you are driving); the current registration paperwork on
your vehicle; and current vehicle insurance paperwork.
In addition to these three items, your name must be on a
list, of expected visitors, at the guard shack. Without all
of these items you might find yourself denied access, which
can throw you into breach of contract with your general.
Chances are that included with your contract was a request
for information on each employee (and vehicle) that would
be on the base for your portion of the project. If such a
request is not part of your contract paperwork, it would still
behoove you to submit the information to head off trouble
at the pass.
Typically, the requested items
of information are as follows:
- Full Name Of Each Employee
- Social Security Number Of Each Employee
- Address Of Each Employee
- Drivers License Number Of Each Employee
- Vehicle License Number Of Each Vehicle
- Vehicle Insurance Policy Number For Each VehicleIn addition
to the above information, you should also include the following:
- Name, Address And Phone Number Of Your Company
- Title Of The Project (such as: Court Building #202)
- Name Of The Military Base (such as: Ft. Irwin)
- Anticipated Dates Of Performance Of Your Portion Of The
Project
Type all of this information onto your letterhead and send
it to your general contractor. Your general contractor should
then forward the information to the Resident Officer In Charge
Of Construction (ROICC).
For peace of mind, you can also send the information to the
ROICC yourself. I have had experiences where the general contractor
remembered to send the information to the ROICC and times
when the general contractor has forgotten to send the information
to the ROICC.
If you have guys show up at the gate without this information
having been provided to the ROICC, there is a very good chance
that they will be denied.
Also, even though all the information may have been provided
to the ROICC, if your guys don't have their Drivers License/I.D.,
Vehicle Registration Paperwork, and Vehicle Insurance Paperwork,
they will probably be denied admission.
I found myself at the guard shack of a base once without
my insurance paperwork. I had to sit outside of the gate (for
two and one-half hours!) until my insurance office opened
at 9:00 am and my agent faxed a copy of my insurance paperwork
to the guard shack. Since then I always keep my paperwork
with me!
