TOP SECRET/SCI-indoctrinated U.S. citizens are present on a 24-hour basis in the SCIF or the SCIF can be properly secured and alarmed. Prescribed post security resources are in to monitor the SSA. Construction Security Requirements Prior to awarding a construction contract, a CSP for each project shall be developed by the SSM and approved by DoS/DS and DoS/OBO and the tenant AO. Construction plans and all related documents shall be handled and protected in accordance with the CSP. For SCIF renovation projects, barriers shall be installed to segregate construction workers from operational activities. These barriers will provide protection against unauthorized access and visual observation. Specific guidance shall be contained in the CSP. When expanding existing SCIF space into areas not controlled at the SECRET level, maximum demolition of the new SCIF area is required. For areas controlled at the SECRET level that meet OSPB pre-conditions, or when performing renovations inside existing SCIF space, maximum demolition is not required. All requirements for demolition shall be documented in the CSP. Periodic security inspections be conducted by the SSM or designee for the duration of the project to ensure compliance with construction design and security standards. Citizenship and Clearance Requirements for SCIF Construction Personnel Use of workers from countries identified as critical for Technical or Human Intelligence threat, or listed on the DoS Prohibited Countries Matrix, is prohibited. General construction and finish work is defined by OSPB standards. General construction of SCIFs shall be performed using U.S. citizens and U.S. firms. Use of foreign national citizens or firms to perform general construction of SCIFs may be authorized in accordance with OSPB standards. In this situation, the CSP shall prescribe mitigating strategies to counter security and counterintelligence threats. SCIF finish work shall be accomplished by appropriately cleared personnel as directed by OSPB standards for CAA construction. All non-cleared construction personnel provide the SSM with biographical data (full name, current address, SSN, DPOB, proof of citizenship, etc.), and fingerprint cards as allowed by local laws prior to the start of construction/renovation. Two forms of I-9 identification are required to verify U.S. persons.
