9 SENSITIVE SECURITY INFORMATION ( SSI ) DOCUMENT PROTECTION REQUIREMENTS The contract documents for this Project, which include any means by which project information is preserved, including, but not limited to, plans, specifications, sketches and drawings, any other documents provided to the contractor, any documents prepared by the contractor, and in any format including paper, film, photograph, or electronic media, may contain Sensitive Security Information, and, therefore, in accordance with 49 CRF part 1520, such documents shall be considered SSI, and are, therefore, privileged and confidential. Drafts, proposed changes, addendums etc. are also defined as contract documents, and also are considered SSI. The contractor, referring to either a shortlisted contractor participating in the bidding phase or the selected contractor participating in the construction phase, shall maintain the confidentiality of the contract documents and shall not use such contract documents for any purpose other than for the performance of services relative to this project. In addition, the contractor shall strictly adhere to the following Document Protection Requirements: 1. Confidentiality Agreement. Each contractor shall be required to execute a Confidentiality Agreement covering the contractor and any parties for whom the contractor is responsible, including subcontractors, before the contractor can receive contract documents for the Project. In summary, the Confidentiality Agreement, a copy of which is attached to these requirements, provides that the contractor recognizes that the contract documents may contain SSI and, therefore, must be maintained in a confidential manner. Furthermore, it requires that the contractor inform all persons to whom the contract documents may be released of the confidential nature of such documents, and to confirm that all necessary steps will be taken to ensure that such persons treat the documents in a confidential manner. 2. Unauthorized Reproduction. Each contractor shall receive five (5) sets of contract documents for its use during the bidding phase. Massport shall appropriately mark each set as SSI and shall number each set, probably with a sequential numbering system, so that the documents can be properly tracked. The contractor shall not be allowed to reproduce the contract documents or any part thereof. Any unauthorized reproduction of the contract documents, or any part thereof, may result in a civil penalty or a criminal penalty or other action by Massport. If the contractor becomes aware of any unauthorized reproduction, he shall notify Massport immediately. 3. Unauthorized Distribution. The contractor shall identify where each set of contract documents will be housed during the bidding phase. The contractor must ensure that only those individuals with a Need to Know will be allowed access to the contract documents. For purposes of this Project, the definition of a Need to Know is limited to an individual who needs the information in order to provide services relative to preparing the contractor s bid. If the contractor has any questions as to whether or not a particular individual can be considered a person with a Need to Know, the contractor should Capital Programs and Environmental Affairs Department Rev. 6/08/ P age

10 request authorization from Massport before providing access to that particular individual. Any unauthorized distribution of the contract documents, or any part thereof, may result in a civil penalty or a criminal penalty or other action by Massport. If the contractor becomes aware of any unauthorized distribution, he shall notify Massport immediately. 4. Unauthorized Disclosure. The contractor must take reasonable steps to safeguard the contract documents from unauthorized disclosure when the contract documents are being used by a person with a Need to Know. However, when the contract documents are not in the physical possession of a person with a Need to Know, such documents shall be stored in a secure container such as a locked desk or file cabinet or a locked room. Under no circumstances should the contract documents be left unattended in a non-secure area. If the contractor loses or misplaces a set of contract documents or any part thereof, the contractor shall notify Massport immediately. Any unauthorized disclosure may result in a civil penalty or a criminal penalty or other action by Massport. If the contractor becomes aware of any unauthorized disclosure, he shall notify Massport immediately. 5. SSI Compliance Officer. The contractor shall identify an SSI Compliance Officer, who shall distribute these SSI Document Protection Requirements to anyone handling the contract documents and shall conduct training sessions, as necessary, to inform team members of their responsibilities with respect to the contract documents. The SSI Compliance Officer shall be the primary contact for Massport with respect to SSI issues. 6. Return of Contract Documents. The contractor shall return all five (5) sets of contract documents to Massport as a condition precedent to Massport accepting the contractor s bid for this Project. 7. Construction Phase. Massport shall provide the selected contractor with a sufficient number of sets of contract documents for use during the construction phase of the Project. Massport shall appropriately mark each set as SSI and shall number each set, probably with a sequential numbering system, so that the documents can be properly tracked. The contractor will be subject to document protection requirements, similar to those discussed above, in order to protect against the unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or disclosure of SSI. During the construction phase of the Project, a person with a Need to Know shall be defined as an individual who needs to have access to the documents in order to perform in accordance with the contract. It should be understood that during the construction phase, locking the documents in a jobsite trailer overnight will not satisfy the Project requirements. Finally, the contractor shall be required to return all sets of construction documents to Massport before the final payment will be issued for the Project.

11 CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT The Contractor, on behalf of itself and the parties for whom the Contractor is responsible, including, but not limited to, subcontractors, relative to services associated with MPA Project No. A359-C1, FAA NextGen ATC Tower Space Consolidation Project at Logan International Airport, East Boston, MA ( the Project )understands and acknowledges that the Contractor is being provided contract documents which may contain Sensitive Security Information ( SSI ), and that in consideration of the Contractor being granted access to SSI, the Contractor understands and agrees that: (1) the contract documents may contain SSI and, therefore, must be maintained in a confidential manner; and (2) that the Contractor is required to inform all persons to whom the contract documents may be released of the confidential nature of such documents, and to confirm that all necessary steps will be taken to ensure that such persons treat the documents in a confidential manner. 1. Sensitive Security Information (SSI). SSI includes, but is not limited to, (a) any and all Massport business information being made available to the Contractor in connection with the project, and (b) the contract documents and other technical information, security studies, threat correspondence, research and development activities, operating procedures, emergency services plans, studies, reports, and other information, that is provided to, or developed, learned, or generated by the Contractor, by or on behalf of the Massport relative to the Project. The contract documents for the Project, which include any means by which project information is preserved, including, but not limited to, plans, specifications, sketches and drawings, any other documents provided to the Contractor, any documents prepared by the Contractor, and in any format including paper, film, photograph, or electronic media, may contain SSI, and, therefore, in accordance with 49 CRF part 1520, such documents shall be considered SSI and are, therefore, privileged and confidential. Drafts, proposed changes, addendums, etc., are also defined as contract documents and are also considered SSI. 2. Nondisclosure of SSI. Maintaining the confidentiality of SSI is vital to the protection of critical transportation infrastructure and public safety. Accordingly, it is not for public dissemination or disclosure to any unauthorized individual. Such information shall only be used by the Contractor solely in the performance of preparing a proposal for the Project, and the Contractor shall not make use of the SSI for any other purpose, or in any other manner. The Contractor agrees that, from the date of receipt of the contract documents until such time as the information may no longer be considered SSI, the Contractor shall hold and treat the SSI in the strictest confidence in order to prevent the unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or disclosure of the SSI, and to prevent any compromise to the security of civil aviation, as provided in 49 CFR Part 1520 et seq. Any unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or disclosure of the contract documents, or any part thereof, may result in a civil penalty or a criminal penalty or other action by Massport. If the Contractor becomes aware of any unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or disclosure, he shall notify Massport immediately. Capital Programs and Environmental Affairs Department Rev. 6/08/ P age

12 The Contractor also agrees that, except as required by law, he shall not, either directly or indirectly distribute or disclose, or permit anyone else to distribute or disclose, any SSI to any persons other than those persons who have a Need to Know in connection with the performance of services for the project. For purposes of the Project, a Need to Know is defined as an individual who needs the information in order to provide the necessary services to the Project. Furthermore, any authorized distribution or disclosure shall only be made to the extent that the information is required for use in connection with the services provided for the Project, and the contract documents, or any part thereof, shall not be reproduced by the Contractor or any party for whom the Contractor is responsible, including, but not limited to, subcontractors. 3. Protection of SSI. If the Contractor is served with a subpoena or a discovery request of any kind in a judicial or administrative proceeding, or receives a Freedom of Information Act request, or is otherwise required by law to respond to a request for, or to disclose, any SSI, the Contractor shall immediately notify Massport in order to permit Massport to seek a protective order, or take such other action as it may deem appropriate. The Contractor also shall cooperate in any effort by Massport to obtain a protective order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the SSI. If a protective order is not sought or is sought but not granted, the Contractor will: (a) disclose only such portion of the SSI as is responsive to the request and is necessary to fully respond; (b) disclose it only to the person compelling disclosure, in which case, prior to such disclosure, the Contractor will advise and consult with Massport and its counsel as to such disclosure and the nature and wording of the such disclosure; and (c) use its best efforts to obtain the confidential treatment thereof by others. 4. Return of Information. Upon the earlier of Massport s written request or the completion of the Contractor s need for such information, any and all sets of contract documents obtained by the Contractor shall be returned to Massport. The selected contractor may retain copies of such information after completion of its services only if its written agreement with Massport authorizes such retention, or if such selected contractor obtains express written permission to retain from Massport. Any final payments due the Contractor will not be processed until all sets of contract documents are returned by the Contractor to Massport in a manner that is acceptable to Massport. 5. Term. The Contractor s obligations with regard to the terms of this Agreement shall be perpetual or until such time that the information may no longer be considered SSI. 6. Severability. Each provision of this Agreement is severable. If a court of competent jurisdiction should find any provision of this Agreement to be unenforceable, all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect. Capital Programs and Environmental Affairs Department Rev. 6/08/ P age

13 7. Acknowledgements. The Contractor acknowledges receipt of Massport s SSI Document Protection Requirements and agrees to strictly adhere to such requirements. The Contractor acknowledges that the unauthorized reproduction, distribution, or disclosure of SSI could cause substantial damage, could expose Massport and its customers and facilities to significant dangers, and could result in civil or criminal fines and penalties and/or other actions by Massport. The Contractor also acknowledges that the obligations of confidentiality required hereunder are vital to the safety, security, and well-being of Massport, its customers, its facilities and operations, and the general public. The Contractor further acknowledges that damages at law may be an inadequate remedy for any breach or threatened breach of the terms of this Agreement, and that Massport may, in addition to all other rights or remedies, seek an injunction in order to restrain any breach or threatened breach, without being required either to show actual damage or to post an undertaking or other security. By signing this Confidentiality Agreement, the Contractor, on behalf of itself and all parties for whom the Contractor is responsible, agrees to be strictly bound to the provisions of this Agreement, and that the person signing below on behalf of the Contractor has the authority and power to execute this Agreement and to bind the Contractor to the obligations contained herein.
