Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress,expressed as a percentage of the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. ' Apprentices shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination for the applicable classification. ' If the Administrator determines that a different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance with that determination. In the event the Bureau ' of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate for the work performed until an ' acceptable program is approved.

Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female I personnel, for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through appropriate training, etc., such opportunities. m. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments, and other personnel I practices do not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the contractor's obligations I under these specifications are being carried out. n.

The obligation to comply, however, is the contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an obligation shall not be a defense for the contractor's noncompliance. ' 9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action for all minority groups, both male & female, and all women, both minority&non-minority. ' Consequently,if the particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner(for example, even though the contractor has achieved its goals for women generally,) the contractor may be in violation of the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized. ' 10. The contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. 11. The contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred from Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246. ' 12. The contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination, and cancellation of existing subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any contractor who fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation ' of these specifications and Executive Order 11246, as amended. 13. The contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 7 of these ' specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity. If contractor fails to comply with requirements of Executive Order, the implementing ' regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8. 14. The contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the ' provisions hereof as may be required by Government, and to keep records. Records shall at least include for each employee, name, address, telephone number, construction trade, union affiliation ' if any,employee identification number when assigned,social security number,race,sex,status(e.g., mechanic, apprentice, trainee, or laborer), dates of changes in status,hours worked per week in the indicated trade, rate of pay, and locations at which work was performed. Records shall be ' maintained in an easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this requirement, contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records. 15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws Augusta-Richmond County Contractor Contractual Requirements and Title IV Assurance General Aviation Commission Authority I-37 ' Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT 1 which establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the p p pp q hiring of local or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community Development Block Grant Program).

I Unlisted classifications needed for work not included within the scope of the classifications listed may be added after award only as provided in the labor standards contract clauses (29CFR 5.5 (a) (1) (ii)). I The bodyof each wage determination lists the classification and wage rates that have been g found to be prevailing for the cited type(s) of construction in the area covered by the wage rdetermination The classifications are listed in alphabetical order of "identifiers" that indicate whether the particular rate is a union rate (current union negotiated rate for local), a survey rate (weighted average rate) or a union average rate (weighted union average rate). Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. II Example: I PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014. PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed Augusta-Richmond County Contractor Contractual Requirements and Title IV Assurance General Aviation Commission Authority I-45 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle IWKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT I in the surveyfor this classification, which in this example would be Plumbers. 0198 indicates 111 p local union number or district council number where applicable,i.e.,Plumbers Local 0198.The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014. Union prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement(CBA)governing this classification and rate. Survey Rate Identifiers Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey,it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA indicates the State of 11 Louisiana. 2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. Survey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. I Union Average Rate Identifiers Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of the data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a weighted union average rate. OH indicates the state.The next number, 0010 in the example, is 1111 an internal number used in producing the wage determination.08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. ' A UAVG rate will be updated once a year,usually in January of each year,to reflect a weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based. WAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.)Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: * an existing published wage determination 1 * a survey underlying a wage determination *a Wage &Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter ' * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling Augusta-Richmond County Contractor Contractual Requirements and Title IV Assurance General Aviation Commission Authority I-46 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT I I On survey related matters,initial contact,including requests for summaries of surveys,should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program.If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed.

Write to: Branch of Construction Wage Determinations 111 Wage and Hour Division U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the action) can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator (See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7). Write to: Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor I 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W.

Union Rate Identifiers A four letter classification abbreviation identifier enclosed in dotted lines beginning with characters other than "SU" or "UAVG" denotes that the union classification and rate were prevailing for that classification in the survey. Augusta-Richmond County Wage Rates General Aviation Commission Authority I-76 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT 1 I I Example: PLUM0198-005 07/01/2014.PLUM is an abbreviation identifier of the union which prevailed Iin the survey for this classification,which in this example would be Plumbers.0198 indicates local union number or district council number where applicable, i.e., Plumbers Local 0198. I The next number, 005 in the example, is an internal number used in processing the wage determination. 07/01/2014 is the effective date of the most current negotiated rate, which in this example is July 1, 2014. IUnion prevailing wage rates are updated to reflect all rate changes in the collective bargaining agreement(CBA)governing this classification and rate. I Survey Rate Identifiers I Classifications listed under the "SU" identifier indicate that no one rate prevailed for this classification in the survey and the published rate is derived by computing a weighted average rate based on all the rates reported in the survey for that classification. As this I weighted average rate includes all rates reported in the survey, it may include both union and non-union rates. Example: SULA2012-007 5/13/2014. SU indicates the rates are survey rates based on a weighted average calculation of rates and are not majority rates. LA I indicates the State of Louisiana.2012 is the year of survey on which these classifications and rates are based. The next number, 007 in the example, is an internal number used in I producing the wage determination. 5/13/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. ISurvey wage rates are not updated and remain in effect until a new survey is conducted. Union Average Rate Identifiers I Classification(s) listed under the UAVG identifier indicate that no single majority rate prevailed for those classifications; however, 100% of data reported for the classifications was union data. EXAMPLE: UAVG-OH-0010 08/29/2014. UAVG indicates that the rate is a Iweighted union average rate.OH indicates the state.The next number,0010 in the example, is an internal number used in producing the wage determination. 08/29/2014 indicates the survey completion date for the classifications and rates under that identifier. A UAVG rate will be updated once a year, usually in January of each year, to reflect a I weighted average of the current negotiated/CBA rate of the union locals from which the rate is based. IWAGE DETERMINATION APPEALS PROCESS 1.)Has there been an initial decision in the matter? This can be: I * an existing published wage determination Augusta-Richmond County Wage Rates I General Aviation Commission Authority 1-77 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT 1 * a survey underlying a wage determination * a Wage &Hour Division letter setting forth a position on a wage determination matter * a conformance (additional classification and rate) ruling On survey related matters, initial contact, including requests for summaries of surveys, should be with the Wage and Hour Regional Office for the area in which the survey was conducted because those Regional Offices have responsibility for the Davis-Bacon survey program. If the response from this initial contact is not satisfactory, then the process I described in 2.) and 3.) should be followed. With regard to any other matter not yet ripe for the formal process described here, initial contact should be with the Branch of Construction Wage Determinations. Write to: Branch of Construction Wage Determinations Wage and Hour Division U.S.Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. 111 Washington, DC 20210 2.) If the answer to the question in 1.) is yes, then an interested party (those affected by the I action)can request review and reconsideration from the Wage and Hour Administrator(See 29 CFR Part 1.8 and 29 CFR Part 7).Write to: Wage and Hour Administrator U.S. Department of Labor 200 Constitution Avenue, N.W. Washington, DC 20210 The request should be accompanied by a full statement of the interested party's position ' and by any information (wage payment data, project description, area practice material, etc.) that the requestor considers relevant to the issue. 3.)

If, however, the inspection discloses any work, in whole or in part, as being unsatisfactory, the ' Engineer will give the Contractor the necessary instructions for correction of same and the Contractor shall immediately comply with and execute such instructions.Upon correction of the work, another inspection will be made which shall constitute the final inspection, provided work has been satisfactorily completed. In such event, Engineer will make the final acceptance and notify the Contractor in writing of this acceptance as of the date of final inspection. ' 50-16 Claims for adjustment and disputes. If for any reason the Contractor deems that additional compensation is due for work or materials not clearly provided for in the contract, plans, or specifications or previously authorized as extra work, the Contractor shall notify the ' Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-23 ' Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT 1 Engineer in writingof his or her intention to claim such additional compensation before the g p Contractor begins the work on which the Contractor bases the claim.If such notification is not given or the Engineer is not afforded proper opportunity by the Contractor for keeping strict account of actual cost as required, then the Contractor hereby agrees to waive any claim for such additional compensation. Such notice by the Contractor and the fact that the Engineer has kept account of the cost of the work shall not in any way be construed as proving or substantiating the validity of the claim.When the work on which the claim for additional compensation is based has been completed, the Contractor shall, within 10 calendar days, submit a written claim to the Engineer who will present it to the Owner for consideration in accordance with local laws or ordinances. Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as a waiver of the Contractor's right to dispute final payment based on differences in measurements or computations. 50-17 Cost reduction incentive.The provisions of this subsection will apply only to contracts awarded to the lowest bidder pursuant to competitive bidding. On projects with original contract amounts in excess of$100,000, the Contractor may submit to the Engineer, in writing, proposals for modifying the plans, specifications or other requirements of the contract for the sole purpose of reducing the cost of construction.The cost reduction proposal shall not impair, in any manner, the essential functions or characteristics of the project, including but not limited to service life, economy of operation, ease of maintenance, desired appearance, design and safety standards. This provision shall not apply unless the proposal submitted is specifically identified by the Contractor as being presented for consideration as a value engineering proposal. , Not eligible for cost reduction proposals are changes in the basic design of a pavement type, runway and taxiway lighting, visual aids,hydraulic capacity of drainage facilities, or changes in ' grade or alignment that reduce the geometric standards of the project. As a minimum, following information shall be submitted by the Contractor with each proposal: a. A description of both existing contract requirements for performing work and proposed changes, with a discussion of the comparative advantages and disadvantages of each. b. An itemization of the contract requirements that must be changed if the proposal is adopted. c. A detailed estimate of the cost of performing the work under the existing contract and under the proposed changes. d. A statement of the time by which a change order adopting the proposal must be issued. e. A statement of the effect adoption of the proposal will have on the time for completion of the contract. Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-24 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT ' f. The contract items of work affected by the proposed changes, including any quantity variation attributable to them. ' Contractor may withdraw, in whole or in part, any cost reduction proposal not accepted by the Engineer, within the period specified in the proposal.Provisions of this subsection shall not be construed to require Engineer to consider any cost reduction proposal that may be submitted. The Contractor shall continue to perform the work in accordance with the requirements of the contract until a change order incorporating the cost reduction proposal has been issued. If a ' change order has not been issued by the date upon which the Contractor's cost reduction proposal specifies that a decision should be made, or such other date as the Contractor may subsequently have requested in writing, such cost reduction proposal shall be deemed rejected. Engineer shall be the sole judge of acceptability of a cost reduction proposal and of estimated net savings from the adoption of all or any part of such proposal. In determining the estimated net savings, the Engineer may disregard the contract bid prices if, in the Engineer's judgment such prices do not represent a fair measure of the value of the work to be performed or deleted. ' Owner may require Contractor to share in the Owner's costs of investigating a cost reduction proposal submitted by Contractor as a condition of considering such proposal.Where such a condition is imposed, the Contractor shall acknowledge acceptance of it in writing. Such ' acceptance shall constitute full authority for the Owner to deduct the cost of investigating a cost reduction proposal from amounts payable to the Contractor under the contract. If the Contractor's cost reduction proposal is accepted in whole or in part,such acceptance will be by a contract change order that shall specifically state that it is executed pursuant to this ' subsection. Such change order shall incorporate the changes in the plans and specifications which are necessary to permit the cost reduction proposal or such part of it as has been accepted and shall include any conditions upon which the Engineer's approval is based.The ' change order shall also set forth the estimated net savings attributable to the cost reduction proposal.The net savings shall be determined as the difference in costs between the original ' contract costs for the involved work items and the costs occurring as a result of the proposed change. Change order shall also establish the net savings agreed upon and shall provide for adjustment in the contract price that will divide the net savings equally between the Contractor ' and the Owner. Contractor's 50% share of the net savings shall constitute full compensation to the Contractor for ' the cost reduction proposal and the performance of the work. Acceptance of the cost-reduction proposal and performance of the cost-reduction work shall not ' extend the time of completion of the contract unless specifically provided for in the contract change order.

The Owner shall have the authority to suspend the ' work wholly, or in part, for such period or periods as the Owner may deem necessary, due to unsuitable weather, or such other conditions as are considered unfavorable for the execution of the work, or for such time as is necessary due to the failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out orders given or perform any or all provisions of the contract. Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-41 ' Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT 1 In the event that the Contractor is ordered by the Owner, in writing, to suspend work for some unforeseen cause not otherwise provided for in the contract and over which the Contractor has no control, the Contractor may be reimbursed for actual money expended on the work during the period of shutdown. No allowance will be made for anticipated profits. The period of shutdown shall be computed from the effective date of the Engineer's order to suspend work to the effective date of the Engineer's order to resume the work. Claims for such compensation shall be filed with the Engineer within the time period stated in the Engineer's order to resume work. The Contractor shall submit with his or her claim information substantiating the amount shown on the claim. The Engineer will forward the Contractor's claim to the Owner for consideration in accordance with local laws or ordinances. No provision of this article shall be construed as entitling the Contractor to compensation for delays due to inclement weather, for suspensions made at the request of the Owner, or for any other delay provided for in the contract, plans, or specifications. 1 If it should become necessary to suspend work for an indefinite period, the Contractor shall store all materials in such manner that they will not become an obstruction nor become damaged in any way.The Contractor shall take every precaution to prevent damage or deterioration of the work performed and provide for normal drainage of the work. The Contractor shall erect temporary structures where necessary to provide for traffic on, to, or from the airport. 80-07 Determination and extension of contract time. The number of calendar or working days allowed for completion of the work shall be stated in the proposal and contract and shall be known as the CON 1'1ZACT TIME. , Should the contract time require extension for reasons beyond the Contractor's control, it shall be adjusted as follows: a. CON TRACT TIME based on WORKING DAYS shall be calculated weekly by the Engineer. The Engineer will furnish the Contractor a copy of his or her weekly statement of the number of working days charged against the contract time during the week and the number of working days currently specified for completion of the contract(the original contract time plus the number of working days, if any, that have been included in approved CHANGE ORDERS or SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS covering EXTRA WORK). The Engineer shall base his or her weekly statement of contract time charged on the ' following considerations: (1) No time shall be charged for days on which the Contractor is unable to proceed with the principal item of work under construction at the time for at least six(6)hours with the normal work force employed on such principal item.Should the normal work force be on a double-shift, 12 hours shall be used.Should the normal work force be on a triple-shift, 18 hours ' shall apply. Conditions beyond the Contractor's control such as strikes, lockouts,unusual delays in transportation, temporary suspension of the principal item of work under Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-42 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT construction or temporary suspension of the entire work which have been ordered by the Owner for reasons not the fault of the Contractor, shall not be charged against the contract time. ' (2) The Engineer will not make charges against the contract time prior to the effective date of the notice to proceed. ' (3) The Engineer will begin charges against the contract time on the first working day after the effective date of the notice to proceed. ' (4) The Engineer will not make charges against the contract time after the date of final acceptance as defined in the subsection 50-15 titled FINAL ACCEPTANCE of ' Section 50. (5) The Contractor will be allowed one (1)week in which to file a written protest setting forth his or her objections to the Engineer's weekly statement. If no objection is filed within such specified time, the weekly statement shall be considered as acceptable to the Contractor. e The contract time (stated in the proposal) is based on the originally estimated quantities as described in the subsection 20-05 titled INTERPRETATION OF ESTIMATED PROPOSAL QUANTITIES of Section 20. Should the satisfactory completion of the contract require ' performance of work in greater quantities than those estimated in the proposal, the contract time shall be increased in the same proportion as the cost of the actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the originally estimated quantities in the proposal. Such increase in contract time shall not consider either the cost of work or the extension of contract time that has been covered by change order or supplemental agreement and shall be made at the time of final payment. b. Contract Time based on calendar days shall consist of the number of calendar days stated ' in the contract counting from the effective date of the notice to proceed and including all Saturdays, Sundays,holidays, and non-work days.All calendar days elapsing between the effective dates of the Owner's orders to suspend and resume all work, due to causes not the ' fault of the Contractor, shall be excluded. At the time of final payment, the contract time shall be increased in the same proportion as the cost of the actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the originally estimated quantities in the proposal.Such increase in the contract time shall not consider either cost of ' work or the extension of contract time that has been covered by a change order or supplemental agreement. Charges against the contract time will cease as of the date of final acceptance. ' c.When the contract time is a specified completion date, it shall be the date on which all contract work shall be substantially complete. ' If the Contractor finds it impossible for reasons beyond his or her control to complete the work within the contract time as specified, or as extended in accordance with the provisions of this subsection, the Contractor may, at any time prior to the expiration of the contract time as ' Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-43 ' Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT extended, make a written request to the Owner for an extension of time setting forth the reasons which the Contractor believes will justify the granting of his or her request.Requests for extension of time on calendar day projects, caused by inclement weather, shall be supported 111 with National Weather Bureau data showing the actual amount of inclement weather exceeded what could normally be expected during the contract period. The Contractor's plea that insufficient time was specified is not a valid reason for extension of time. If the supporting documentation justify the work was delayed because of conditions beyond the control and without the fault of the Contractor, the Owner may extend the time for completion by a change 1 order that adjusts the contract time or completion date. The extended time for completion shall then be in full force and effect, the same as though it were the original time for completion. 80-08 Failure to complete on time. For each calendar day or working day, as specified in the contract, that any work remains uncompleted after the contract time (including all extensions and adjustments as provided in the subsection 80-07 titled DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF CON TRACT TIME of this Section) the sum specified in the contract and proposal as liquidated damages will be deducted from any money due or to become due the Contractor or his or her surety.Such deducted sums shall not be deducted as a penalty but shall be considered as liquidation of a reasonable portion of damages including but not limited to additional engineering services that will be incurred by the Owner should the Contractor fail to complete the work in the time provided in their contract. Schedule Liquidated Damages Cost Allowed Construction Time I $200 60 Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the work or any part of it after the time fixed for its completion,or after the date to which the time for completion may have been extended, will in no way operate as a wavier on the part of the Owner of any of its rights under the contract. 80-09 Default and termination of contract. The Contractor shall be considered in default of his or her contract and such default will be considered as cause for the Owner to terminate the contract for any of the following reasons if the Contractor: a. Fails to begin the work under the contract within the time specified in Notice to Proceed, or b.Fails to perform the work or fails to provide sufficient workers,equipment and/or ' materials to assure completion of work in accordance with the terms of contract,or c. Performs the work unsuitably or neglects or refuses to remove materials or to perform 1 anew such work as may be rejected as unacceptable and unsuitable, or d.Discontinues the execution of the work, or e.Fails to resume work which has been discontinued within a reasonable time after notice to do so, or f. Becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt, or commits any act of bankruptcy or insolvency, or Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-44 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT i g. Allows any final judgment to stand against the Contractor unsatisfied for a period of 10 days, or h. Makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or i. For any other cause whatsoever, fails to carry on the work in an acceptable manner. Should the Engineer consider the Contractor in default of the contract for any reason above, the Engineer shall immediately give written notice to the Contractor and the ' Contractor's surety as to the reasons for considering the Contractor in default and the Owner's intentions to terminate the contract. ' If the Contractor or surety,within a period of 10 days after such notice, does not proceed in accordance therewith, then the Owner will, upon written notification from the Engineer of the facts of such delay, neglect, or default and the Contractor's failure to comply with such notice, ' have full power and authority without violating the contract, to take the execution of the work out of the hands of the Contractor. The Owner may appropriate or use any or all materials and equipment that have been mobilized for use in the work and are acceptable and may enter into 1 an agreement for the completion of said contract according to the terms and provisions thereof, or use such other methods as in the opinion of the Engineer will be required for the completion of said contract in an acceptable manner. All costs and charges incurred by the Owner, together with the cost of completing the work under contract, will be deducted from any monies due or which may become due the Contractor.If such expense exceeds the sum which would have been payable under the contract, then the Contractor and the surety shall be liable and shall pay to the Owner the ' amount of such excess. 80-10 Termination for national emergencies. The Owner shall terminate the contract or portion thereof by written notice when the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the construction contract as a direct result of an Executive Order of the President with respect to the execution of war or in the interest of national defense. When the contract, or any portion thereof, is terminated before completion of all items of work in the contract, payment will be made for the actual number of units or items of work completed at the contract price or as mutually agreed for items of work partially completed or not started.No claims or loss of anticipated profits shall be considered. Reimbursement for organization of work, and other overhead expenses, (when not otherwise included in the contract) and moving equipment and materials to and from the job will be considered, the intent being that an equitable settlement will be made with the Contractor. Acceptable materials, obtained or ordered by the Contractor for the work and that are not ' incorporated in the work shall, at the option of the Contractor, be purchased from the Contractor at actual cost as shown by receipted bills and actual cost records at such points of ' delivery as may be designated by the Engineer. Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-45 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT I 1 Termination of the contract or a portion thereof shall neither relieve the Contractor of his or her responsibilities for the completed work nor shall it relieve his or her surety of its obligation for I and concerning any just claim arising out of the work performed. 80-11 Work area,storage area and sequence of operations. The Contractor shall obtain approval 1 from the Engineer prior to beginning any work in all areas of the airport. No operating runway, taxiway, or air operations area(AOA) shall be crossed,entered, or obstructed while it is operational. The Contractor shall plan and coordinate his or her work in such a manner as to ensure safety and a minimum of hindrance to flight operations. All Contractor equipment and material stockpiles shall be stored a minimum or 250 feet from the centerline of an active runway. No equipment will be allowed to park within the approach area of an active runway at any time. No equipment shall be within 250 feet of an active runway at any time. END OF SECTION 80 1 1 1 I Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-46 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT SECTION 90 MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT ' 90-01 Measurement of quantities. All work completed under the contract will be measured by the Engineer, or his or her authorized representatives, using United States Customary Units of ' Measurement or the International System of Units. The method of measurement and computations to be used in determination of quantities of material furnished and of work performed under the contract will be those methods generally recognized as conforming to good engineering practice. Unless otherwise specified, longitudinal measurements for area computations will be made horizontally, and no deductions will be made for individual fixtures(or leave-outs)having an ' area of 9 square feet(0.8 square meters) or less.Unless otherwise specified, transverse measurements for area computations will be the neat dimensions shown on the plans or ordered in writing by the Engineer. Structures will be measured according to neat lines shown on the plans or as altered to fit field conditions. Unless otherwise specified, all contract items which are measured by the linear foot such as electrical ducts,conduits, pipe culverts, underdrains, and similar items shall be measured ' parallel to the base or foundation upon which such items are placed. In computing volumes of excavation the average end area method or other acceptable methods will be used. The thickness of plates and galvanized sheet used in the manufacture of corrugated metal pipe, ' metal plate pipe culverts and arches, and metal cribbing will be specified and measured in decimal fraction of inch. The term"ton" will mean the short ton consisting of 2,000 lb(907 km) avoirdupois.All materials that are measured or proportioned by weights shall be weighed on accurate, approved scales by competent, qualified personnel at locations designed by the Engineer.If material is shipped by rail, the car weight may be accepted provided that only the actual weight of material is paid for.However, car weights will not be acceptable for material to be passed through mixing plants. Trucks used to haul material being paid for by weight shall be weighed empty daily at such times as the Engineer directs, and each truck shall bear a plainly legible identification mark. ' Materials to be measured by volume in the hauling vehicle shall be hauled in approved vehicles and measured therein at the point of delivery.Vehicles for this purpose may be of any size or ' type acceptable for the materials hauled, provided that the body is of such shape that the actual contents may be readily and accurately determined.All vehicles shall be loaded to at least their ' water level capacity, and all loads shall be leveled when vehicles arrive at the point of delivery. Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-47 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT 1 1 When requested by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer in writing, material specified to be measured by the cubic yard(cubic meter) may be weighed, and such weights will be ' converted to cubic yards (cubic meters) for payment purposes. Factors for conversion from weight measurement to volume measurement will be determined by the Engineer and shall be agreed to by the Contractor before such method of measurement of pay quantities is used. Bituminous materials will be measured by the gallon(liter) or ton (kg). When measured by volume, such volumes will be measured at 60°F(16°C) or will be corrected to the volume at 60°F (16°C)using ASTM D1250 for asphalts or ASTM D633 for tars. Net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes in the case of rail shipments ' will be used as a basis of measurement, subject to correction when bituminous material has been lost from the car or the distributor, wasted, or otherwise not incorporated in the work. When bituminous materials are shipped by truck or transport, net certified weights by volume, subject to correction for loss or foaming, may be used for computing quantities. ' Cement will be measured by the ton(kg) or hundredweight(km). Timber will be measured by the thousand feet board measure (MFBM) actually incorporated in the structure. Measurement will be based on nominal widths and thicknesses and the extreme length of each piece. , The term "lump sum" when used as an item of payment will mean complete payment for the work described in the contract. I When a complete structure or structural unit(in effect, "lump sum" work) is specified as the unit of measurement, the unit will be construed to include all necessary fittings and accessories. , Rental of equipment will be measured by time in hours of actual working time and necessary traveling time of the equipment within the limits of the work. Special equipment ordered by the Engineer in connection with force account work will be measured as agreed in the change order or supplemental agreement authorizing such force account work as provided in the subsection 90-05 titled PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK of this section. When standard manufactured items are specified such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduit, etc., and these items are identified by gauge, unit weight, section dimensions, etc., such identification will be considered to be nominal weights or dimensions.Unless more stringently controlled by tolerances in cited specifications, manufacturing tolerances established by the industries involved will be accepted. Scales for weighing materials which are required to be proportioned or measured and paid for by weight shall be furnished, erected, and maintained by the Contractor, or be certified permanently installed commercial scales. Scales shall be accurate within 1/2% of the correct weight throughout the range of use. The Contractor shall have the scales checked under the observation of the inspector before beginning work and at such other Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-48 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT 1 1 times as requested. The intervals shall be uniform in spacing throughout the graduated or marked length of the beam or dial and shall not exceed one-tenth of 1% of the nominal rated ' capacity of the scale,but not less than 1 pound(454 grams). The use of spring balances will not be permitted. Beams, dials, platforms, and other scale equipment shall be so arranged that the operator and the inspector can safely and conveniently view them. Scale installations shall have available ten standard 50-pound(2.3 km) weights for testing the weighing equipment or suitable weights and devices for other approved equipment. Scales must be tested for accuracy and serviced before use at a new site.Platform scales shall be installed and maintained with the platform level and rigid bulkheads at each end. ' Scales "overweighing" (indicating more than correct weight) will not be permitted to operate, and all materials received subsequent to the last previous correct weighting-accuracy test will be reduced by the percentage of error in excess of one-half of 1%. In the event inspection reveals the scales have been underweighing (indicating less than correct ' weight), they shall be adjusted, and no additional payment to the Contractor will be allowed for materials previously weighed and recorded. All costs in connection with furnishing, installing,certifying, testing, and maintaining scales;for furnishing check weights and scale house;and for all other items specified in this subsection, for the weighing of materials for proportioning or payment, shall be included in the unit contract prices for the various items of the project. ' When the estimated quantities for a specific portion of the work are designated as the pay quantities in the contract,they shall be the final quantities for which payment for such specific portion of the work will be made, unless the dimensions of said portions of the work shown on the plans are revised by the Engineer.If revised dimensions result in an increase or decrease in the quantities of such work, the final quantities for payment will be revised in the amount represented by the authorized changes in the dimensions. 90-02 Scope of payment.The Contractor shall receive and accept compensation provided for in the contract as full payment for furnishing all materials, for performing all work under the contract in a complete and acceptable manner, and for all risk, loss, damage, or expense of whatever character arising out of the nature of the work or the execution thereof, subject to the provisions of the subsection 70-18 titled NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS of Section 70. tWhen the "basis of payment" subsection of a technical specification requires that the contract price (price bid) include compensation for certain work or material essential to the item, this same work or material will not also be measured for payment under any other contract item which may appear elsewhere in the contract, plans, or specifications. ' 90-03 Compensation for altered quantities.When the accepted quantities of work vary from Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-49 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT the quantities in the proposal, the Contractor shall accept as payment in full, so far as contract items are concerned, payment at the original contract price for the accepted quantities of work actually completed and accepted. No allowance,except as provided for in the subsection 40-02 titled ALTERATION OF WORK&QUANTITIES of Section 40 will be made for any increased expense, loss of expected reimbursement, or loss of anticipated profits suffered or claimed by Contractor which results directly from such alterations or indirectly from his or her unbalanced allocation of overhead and profit among the contract items, or from any other cause. 90-04 Payment for omitted items. As specified in the subsection 40-03 titled OMITTED ITEMS of Section 40, the Engineer shall have the right to omit from the work (order nonperformance) any contract item,except major contract items, in the best interest of the Owner. Should the Engineer omit or order nonperformance of a contract item or portion of such item from the work, the Contractor shall accept payment in full at the contract prices for any work actually completed and acceptable prior to the Engineer's order to omit or non-perform such contract item. Acceptable materials ordered by the Contractor or delivered on the workp rior to the date of the Engineer's order will be paid for at the actual cost to the Contractor and shall thereupon become the property of the Owner. In addition to the reimbursement hereinbefore provided, the Contractor shall be reimbursed for all actual costs incurred for the purpose of performing the omitted contract item prior to the date of the Engineer's order. Such additional costs incurred by the Contractor must be directly related to the deleted contract item and shall be supported by certified statements by the Contractor as to the nature the amount of such costs. 90-05 Payment for extra work. Extra work, performed in accordance with the subsection 40-04 titled EXTRA WORK of Section 40,will be paid for at the contract prices or agreed prices specified in the change order or supplemental agreement authorizing the extra work. 90-06 Partial payments.Partial payments will be made to Contractor at least once each month as the work progresses.Said payments will be based upon estimates, prepared by the Engineer, of the value of the work performed and materials complete and in place, in accordance with the I contract, plans, and specifications. No partial payment will be made when the amount due to the Contractor since the last estimate amounts to less than five hundred dollars. From the total of the amount determined to be payable on a partial payment, 10 percent of such total amount will be deducted and retained by the Owner until the final payment is made, except as may be provided(at the Contractor's option) in the subsection titled PAYMENT OF WITHHELD FUNDS of this section.The balance (90 percent) of the amount payable, less all previous payments, shall be certified for payment. Should the Contractor exercise his/her option, as provided in the subsection titled PAYMENT OF WITHHELD FUNDS of this section, no such 10 percent retainage shall be deducted. Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-50 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT ' I I When not less than 95 percent of the work has been completed,the Engineer may, at the I Owner's discretion and with the consent of the surety, prepare an estimate from which will be retained an amount not less than twice the contract value or estimated cost, whichever is greater, of the work remaining to be done. The remainder, less all previous payments and Ideductions,will then be certified for payment to the Contractor. It is understood and agreed that the Contractor shall not be entitled to demand or receive partial Ipayment based on quantities of work in excess of those provided in the proposal or covered by approved change orders or supplemental agreements, except when such excess quantities have Ibeen determined by Engineer to be a part of the final quantity for the item of work in question. No partial payment shall bind the Owner to the acceptance of any materials or work in place as I to quality or quantity.All partial payments are subject to correction at the time of final payment as provided in subsection 90-09 titled ACCEPTANCE AND FINAL PAYMENT of this section. I The Contractor shall deliver to the Owner a complete release of all claims for labor and material arising out of this contract before the final payment is made. If any subcontractor or supplier fails to furnish such a release in full, the Contractor may furnish a bond or other collateral satisfactory to the Owner to indemnify the Owner against any potential lien or other such claim. The bond or collateral shall include all costs,expenses, and attorney fees the Owner may be compelled to pay in discharging any such lien or claim. I90-08 Payment of withheld funds.At the Contractor's option, if an Owner withholds retainage in accordance with the methods described in subsection 90-06 PARTIAL PAYMENTS, the IContractor may request that the Owner deposit the retainage into an escrow account. The Owner's deposit of retainage into an escrow account is subject to the following conditions: Ia.The Contractor shall bear all expenses of establishing and maintaining an escrow account and escrow agreement acceptable to the Owner. Ib.The Contractor shall deposit to and maintain in such escrow only those securities or bank certificates of deposit as are acceptable to the Owner and having a value not less than the Iretainage that would otherwise be withheld from partial payment. The Contractor shall enter into an escrow agreement satisfactory to the Owner. IC. d.The Contractor shall obtain the written consent of the surety to such agreement. I90-09 Acceptance and final payment.When the contract work has been accepted in accordance with the requirements of the subsection 50-15 titled FINAL ACCEPTANCE of Section 50, the I Engineer will prepare the final estimate of the items of work actually performed. The Contractor shall approve the Engineer's final estimate or advise the Engineer of the Contractor's objections to the final estimate which are based on disputes in measurements or computations of the final I quantities to be paid under the contract as amended by change order or supplemental agreement. Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-51 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle IWKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT Contractor and the Engineer shall resolve all disputes(if any) in the measurement and computation of final quantities to be paid within 30 calendar days of the Contractor's receipt of the Engineer's final estimate. If, after such 30-day period, a dispute still exists, the Contractor may approve the Engineer's estimate under protest of the quantities in dispute, and such disputed quantities shall be considered by the Owner as a claim in accordance with the subsection 50-16 titled CLAIMS FOR ADJUSTMENT AND DISPUTES of Section 50. After the Contractor has approved, or approved under protest, the Engineer's final estimate, and after the Engineer's receipt of the project closeout documentation required in subsection 90- 11 Project Closeout, final payment will be processed based on the entire sum, or the undisputed sum in case of approval under protest, determined to be due the Contractor less all previous ' payments and all amounts to be deducted under the provisions of the contract.All prior partial estimates and payments shall be subject to correction in the final estimate and payment. If the Contractor has filed a claim for additional compensation under the provisions of the subsection 50-16 titled CLAIMS FOR ADJUSTMENTS AND DISPUTES of Section 50 or under the provisions of this subsection, such claims will be considered by the Owner in accordance with local laws or ordinances.Upon final adjudication of such claims, any additional payment determined to be due the Contractor will be paid pursuant to a supplemental final estimate. 90-10 Construction warranty. a. In addition to any other warranties in this contract, the Contractor warrants that work ' performed under this contract conforms to the contract requirements and is free of any defect in equipment, material, workmanship, or design furnished, or performed by the Contractor or any subcontractor or supplier at any tier. b. This warranty shall continue for a period of one year from the date of final acceptance of the work.If the Owner takes possession of any part of the work before final acceptance, this warranty shall continue for a period of one year from the date the Owner takes possession. However,this will not relieve the Contractor from corrective items required by the final , acceptance of the project work. c. The Contractor shall remedy at the Contractor's expense any failure to conform, or any defect. In addition, the Contractor shall remedy at the Contractor's expense any damage to Owner real or personal property,when that damage is the result of: (1) The Contractor's failure to conform to contract requirements;or , (2) Any defect of equipment, material,workmanship, or design furnished by Contractor. d.The Contractor shall restore any work damaged in fulfilling the terms and conditions of ' this clause.The Contractor's warranty with respect to work repaired or replaced will run for one year from the date of repair or replacement. e.

All test results for a lot will be analyzed statistically to determine the total estimated percent of the lot that is within specification limits. The PWL is computed using the sample average (X) and sample standard deviation(Sn) of the specified number (n) of sublots for the lot and the specification tolerance limits, L for lower and U for upper, for the particular acceptance parameter. From these values,the respective Quality index, QL for Lower Quality Index and/or Qu for Upper Quality Index, is computed and the PWL for the 1 lot for the specified n is determined from Table 1.All specification limits specified in the technical sections shall be absolute values. Test results used in the calculations shall be to the significant figure given in the test procedure. 1 There is some degree of uncertainty (risk) in the measurement for acceptance because only a small fraction of production material(the population)is sampled and tested. This uncertainty exists 1 because all portions of the production material have the same probability to be randomly sampled. The Contractor's risk is the probability that material produced at the acceptable quality level is rejected or subjected to a pay adjustment.The Owner's risk is the probability that material 1 produced at the rejectable quality level is accepted. It is the intent of this section to inform the Contractor that, in order to consistently offset the 1 Contractor's risk for material evaluated, production quality(using population average and population standard deviation)must be maintained at the acceptable quality specified or higher. 1 In all cases, it is the responsibility of the Contractor to produce at quality levels that will meet the specified acceptance criteria when sampled and tested at the frequencies specified. 1 110-02 Method for computing PWL. The computational sequence for computing PWL is as follows: 1 a.Divide the lot into n sublots in accordance with the acceptance requirements of the specification. ' b. Locate the random sampling position within the sublot in accordance with the requirements of the specification. 1 c. Make a measurement at each location, or take a test portion and make the measurement on the test portion in accordance with the testing requirements of the specification. 1 d.Find the sample average (X) for all sublot values within the lot by using the following formula: Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-66 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT I X=(xi +x2 +x3 +. . .xn)/n Where:X=Sample average of all sublot values within a lot xi 1 , x2=Individual sublot values n=Number of sublots 1 e. Find the sample standard deviation (Sn)by use of the following formula: Sn=[(di2+d22+ d32+. . .dn2)/(n-1)]1/2 Where:Sn=Sample standard deviation of the number of sublot values in the set ' di, d2=Deviations of the individual sublot values xi, x2, ... from the average value X that is: di =(xi -X), d2=(x2 -X) ... dn=(xn -X) n=Number of sublots f.For single sided specification limits (that is, L only), compute the Lower Quality Index QL by use of the following formula: QL =(X-L)/Sn Where:L=specification lower tolerance limit Estimate the percentage of material within limits (PWL)by entering Table 1 with QL, using the column appropriate to the total number(n) of measurements. If the value of QL falls between values shown on the table, use the next higher value of PWL. g.For double-sided specification limits(that is,L and U), compute the Quality Indexes QL and Qu by use of the following formulas: ' QL=(X-L)/Sn and Qu=(U-X)/Sn Where: L and U=specification lower and upper tolerance limits Estimate the percentage of material between the lower(L) and upper (U) tolerance limits (PWL)by entering Table 1 separately with QL and Qu, using the column appropriate to the total number (n) of measurements, and determining the percent of material above PL and percent of material below Pu for each tolerance limit. If the values of QL fall between values shown on the table, use the next higher value of PL or Pu.Determine the PWL by use of the following formula: PWL =(Pu+PL) -100 Where:PL =percent within lower specification limit Pu=percent within upper specification limit Augusta-Richmond County General Provisions General Aviation Commission Authority II-67 Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT 1 EXAMPLE OF PWL CALCULATION ' Project: Example Project ' Test Item:Item P-401, Lot A.

The concrete shall be spaded and consolidated around and against embedded items. 610-3.11 Placing Concrete. All concrete shall be placed during daylight, unless otherwise approved. The concrete shall not be placed until the depth and character of foundation, the adequacy of forms and falsework, and the placing of the steel reinforcing have been approved. Concrete shall be placed as soon as practical after mixing and in no case later than 1 hour after water has been added to the mix. Method and manner of placing shall be such to avoid segregation and displacement of the reinforcement. Troughs, pipes, and chutes shall be used as an aid in placing concrete when necessary. Dropping the concrete a distance of more than 5 feet (1.5 m), or depositing a large quantity at one point, will not be permitted. Concrete shall be placed upon clean, damp surfaces,free from running water, or upon properly consolidated soil. The concrete shall be compacted with suitable mechanical vibrators operating within the concrete. When necessary, vibrating shall be supplemented by hand spading with suitable tools to assure proper and adequate compaction. Vibrators shall be manipulated so as to work the concrete thoroughly around the reinforcement and embedded fixtures and into corners and angles of the forms. The vibration at any joint shall be of sufficient duration to accomplish compaction but shall not be prolonged to the point where segregation occurs. Concrete deposited under water shall be carefully placed in a compact mass in its final position by means of a tremie, a closed bottom dump bucket, or other approved method and shall not be disturbed after being deposited. ' 610-3.12 Construction Joints. When the placing of concrete is suspended, necessary provisions shall be made for joining future work before the placed concrete takes its initial Augusta-Richmond County Structural Portland Cement Concrete General Aviation Commission Authority P-610-5 Obstruction Clearing WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT 1 1 Iand new concrete, such provisions shall be made for set. For the proper bonding of old grooves, steps, keys, dovetails, reinforcing bars or other devices as may be prescribed. The work shall be arranged so that a section begun on any day shall be finished during daylight 1 of the same day. Before depositing new concrete on or against concrete that has hardened, the surface of the hardened concrete shall be cleaned by a heavy steel broom, roughened slightly, wetted, and covered with a neat coating of cement paste or grout. 610-3.13 Expansion Joints. Expansion joints shall be constructed at such points and of such dimensions as may be indicated on the drawings. The pre-molded filler shall be cut to the same shape as that of the surfaces being joined. The filler shall be fixed firmly against the surface of the concrete already in place in such manner that it will not be displaced when concrete is deposited against it. 610-3.14 Defective Work. Any defective work discovered after the forms have been removed shall be immediately removed and replaced. If any dimensions are deficient, or if the surface of the concrete is bulged, uneven, or shows honeycomb, which in the opinion of the Engineer cannot be repaired satisfactorily, the entire section shall be removed and replaced at the expense of the Contractor. 610-3.15 Surface Finish. All exposed concrete surfaces shall be true, smooth, and free from open or rough spaces, depressions, or projections. The concrete in horizontal plane surfaces shall be brought flush with the finished top surface at the proper elevation and shall be struck-off with a straightedge and floated. Mortar finishing shall not be permitted, nor shall dry cement or sand-cement mortar be spread over the concrete during the finishing of horizontal plane surfaces. I When directed, the surface finish of exposed concrete shall be a rubbed finish. If forms can be removed while the concrete is still green, the surface shall be pointed and wetted and then rubbed with a wooden float until all irregularities are removed. If the concrete has hardened before being rubbed, a carborundum stone shall be used to finish the surface. When approved, the finishing can be done with a rubbing machine. 610-3.16 Curing and Protection. All concrete shall be properly cured and protected by the Contractor. The work shall be protected from the elements, flowing water, and from defacement of any nature during the building operations. The concrete shall be cured as soon as it has sufficiently hardened by covering with an approved material. Water-absorptive coverings shall be thoroughly saturated when placed and kept saturated for a period of at least 3 days. All curing mats or blankets shall be sufficiently weighted or tied down to keep the concrete surface covered and to prevent the surface from being exposed to currents of air. Where wooden forms are used, they shall be kept wet at all times until removed to prevent the opening of joints and drying out of the concrete. Traffic shall not be allowed on concrete surfaces for 7 days after the concrete has been placed. 610-3.17 Drains or Ducts. Drainage pipes, conduits, and ducts that are to be encased in concrete shall be installed by the Contractor before the concrete is placed. The pipe shall be held rigidly so that it will not be displaced or moved during the placing of the concrete. 1 Augusta-Richmond County Structural Portland Cement Concrete General Aviation Commission Authority P-610-6 I Obstruction Clearing WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT 1 f 610-3.18 Cold Weather Protection. When concrete islaced at temperatures below 40°F P P ' (4°C), the Contractor shall provide satisfactory methods and means to protect the mix from injury by freezing.

Planning an Airfield Construction Project 101. Overview. Airports are complex environments, and procedures and conditions associated with 111 construction activities often affect aircraft operations and can jeopardize operational safety. Safety considerations are paramount and may make operational impacts unavoidable. However,careful planning, scheduling, and coordination of construction activities can minimize disruption of normal aircraft operations and avoid situations that compromise the airport's operational safety. The airport operator must understand how construction activities and aircraft operations affect one another to be able to develop an effective plan to complete the project. While the guidance in this AC is primarily used for construction operations,some of the concepts, methods and procedures described may also enhance the day-to-day airport maintenance operations, such as lighting maintenance and snow removal operations. 102. Plan for Safety. Safety,maintaining aircraft operations, and construction costs are all ' interrelated. Since safety must not be compromised,the airport operator must strike a balance between maintaining aircraft operations and construction costs. This balance will vary widely depending on the operational needs and resources of the airport and will require early coordination with airport users and the FAA. As the project design progresses,the necessary construction locations,activities,and associated costs will be identified. As they are identified,their impact to airport operations must be assessed. Adjustments are made to the proposed construction activities,often by phasing the project, and/or to ' airport operations in order to maintain operational safety. This planning effort will ultimately result in a project Construction Safety and Phasing Plan(CSPP). The development of the CSPP takes place through the following five steps: a. Identify Affected Areas. The airport operator must determine the geographic areas on the airport affected by the construction project. Some, such as a runway extension, will be defined by the project. Others may be variable,such as the location of haul routes and material stockpiles. b. Describe Current Operations. Identify the normal airport operations in each affected area for each phase of the project. This becomes the baseline from which the impact on operations by construction ' activities can be measured. This should include a narrative of the typical users and aircraft operating within the affected areas. It should also include information related to airport operations:the Aircraft Reference Code(ACRC)for each runway;Airplane Design Group(ADG) and Taxiway Design Group ' (TDG)1 for each affected taxiway; designated approach visibility minimums; available approach and departure procedures; most demanding aircraft;declared distances; available air traffic control services; airport Surface Movement Guidance and Control System plan; and others. The applicable seasons, days ' and times for certain operations should also be identified as applicable. c. Allow for Temporary Changes to Operations.To the extent practical, current airport operations should be maintained during the construction. In consultation with airport users,Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting(ARFF)personnel, and FAA Air Traffic Organization(ATO)personnel,the airport operator should identify and prioritize the airport's most important operations. The construction activities should be planned,through project phasing if necessary,to safely accommodate these operations. When construction ' activities cannot be adjusted to safely maintain current operations,regardless of their importance,then the operations must be revised accordingly. Allowable changes include temporary revisions to approach procedures,restricting certain aircraft to specific runways and taxiways, suspension of certain operations, ' decreased weights for some aircraft due to shortened runways,and other changes. An example of a table showing temporary operations versus current operations is shown in Table 3-1 Sample Operations Effects. ' 1 TaxiwayDesignGroup will be introduced in AC 150/5300-13A. 1 Chapter 1 Planning an Airfield Construction Project 1 AC 150/5370-2F September 29,2011 i d. Take Required Measures to Revised Operations. Once the level and type of aircraft operations to be maintained are identified,the airport operator must determine the measures required to safely conduct the planned operations during the construction. These measures will result in associated costs, which can be broadly interpreted to include not only direct construction costs,but also loss of revenue from impacted operations. Analysis of costs may indicate a need to reevaluate allowable changes to operations. As aircraft operations and allowable changes will vary so widely among airports,this AC presents general guidance on those subjects. e. Manage Safety Risk. Certain airport projects may require the airport operator to provide a Project Proposal Summary to help the FAA to determine the appropriate level of Safety Risk Management(SRM)documentation. The airport operator must coordinate with the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office early in the development of the CSPP to determine the need for SRM documentation. See FAA Order 5200.11,FAA Airports(ARP) Safety Management System(SMS), for more information.If the FAA requires SRM documentation,the airport operator must at a minimum: (1) Notify the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office during the project "scope development"phase of any project requiring a CSPP. (2) Provide documents identified by the FAA as necessary to conduct SRM. ' (3) Participate in the SRM process for airport projects. (4) Provide a representative to participate on the SRM panel. ' (5) Ensure that all applicable SRM identified risks elements are recorded and mitigated within the CSPP. 103. Develop a Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP). Development of an effective CSPP will require familiarity with many other documents referenced throughout this AC. See Appendix 1, Related Reading Material for a list of related reading material. ' a. List Requirements.A CSPP must be developed for each on-airfield construction project funded by the Airport Improvement Program(AIP)or the Passenger Facility Charge(PFC)program or located on an airport certificated under Part 139. As per Order 5200.11, such projects do not include construction,rehabilitation,or change of any facility that is entirely outside the air operations area,does not involve any expansion of the facility envelope and does not involve construction equipment,haul routes or placement of material in locations that require access to the air operations area, increase the facility envelope, or impact line-of-sight. Such facilities may include passenger terminals and parking or other structures. However, extraordinary circumstances may trigger the need for a Safety Assessment and a CSPP. CSPP is subject to subsequent review and approval under the FAA's Safety Risk Management procedures(see paragraph 102.e above). Additional information may be found in Order 5200.11. b. Prepare a Safety Plan Compliance Document. The Safety Plan Compliance Document(SPCD) details how the contractor will comply with the CSPP. Also,it will not be possible to determine all safety plan details (for example specific hazard equipment and lighting, contractor's points of contact, construction equipment heights)during the development of the CSPP. The successful contractor must define such details by preparing an SPCD that the airport operator reviews for approval prior to issuance of a notice-to-proceed. The SPCD is a subset of the CSPP, similar to how a shop drawing review is a subset to the technical specifications. Chapter 1 Planning an Airfield Construction Project 2 111 1 ' September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F c. Assume Responsibility for the CSPP. The airport operator is responsible for establishing and ' enforcing the CSPP. The airport operator may use the services of an engineering consultant to help develop the CSPP. However,writing the CSPP cannot be delegated to the construction contractor. Only those details the airport operator determines cannot be addressed before contract award are developed by the contractor and submitted for approval as the SPCD. The SPCD does not restate nor propose ' differences to provisions already addressed in the CSPP. 104. Who Is Responsible for Safety During Construction? a. Establish a Safety Culture. Everyone has a role in operational safety on airports during construction:the airport operator,the airport's consultants,the construction contractor and subcontractors, airport users,airport tenants,ARFF personnel,Air Traffic personnel, including Technical Operations personnel,FAA Airports Division personnel, and others. Close communication and coordination between all affected parties is the key to maintaining safe operations. Such communication and coordination should ' start at the project scoping meeting and continue through the completion of the project. The airport operator and contractor should conduct onsite safety inspections throughout the project and immediately remedy any deficiencies,whether caused by negligence,oversight,or project scope change. ' b. Assess Airport Operator's Responsibilities. An airport operator has overall responsibility for all activities on an airport, including construction. This includes the predesign, design,preconstruction, construction, and inspection phases. Additional information on the responsibilities listed below can be found throughout this AC. The airport operator must: (1) Develop a CSPP that complies with the safety guidelines of Chapter 2, Construction Safety and Phasing Plans,and Chapter 3, Guidelines for Writing a CSPP. The airport operator may develop the CSPP internally or have a consultant develop the CSPP for approval by the airport operator. For tenant sponsored projects,approve a CSPP developed by the tenant or its consultant. ' (2) Require,review and approve the SPCD by the contractor that indicates how it will comply with the CSPP and provides details that cannot be determined before contract award. (3) Convene a preconstruction meeting with the construction contractor, consultant,airport ' employees and, if appropriate,tenant sponsor and other tenants to review and discuss project safety before beginning construction activity. The appropriate FAA representatives should be invited to attend the meeting. See AC 150/5300-9,Predesign, Prebid, and Preconstruction Conferences for Airport Grant ' Projects. (Note"FAA"refers to the Airports Regional or District Office,the Air Traffic Organization, Flight Standards Service, and other offices that support airport operations, flight regulations, and construction/environmental policies.) (4) Ensure contact information is accurate for each representative/point of contact identified in the CSPP and SPCD. ' (5) Hold weekly or,if necessary,daily safety meetings with all affected parties to coordinate activities. (6) Notify users,ARFF personnel, and FAA ATO personnel of construction and I conditions that may adversely affect the operational safety of the airport via Notices to Airmen(NOTAM) and other methods,as appropriate. Convene a meeting for review and discussion if necessary. (7) Ensure construction personnel know of any applicable airport procedures and of ' changes to those procedures that may affect their work. (8) Ensure construction contractors and subcontractors undergo training required by the CSPP and SPCD. 3 Chapter 1 Planning an Airfield Construction Project 1 AC 150/5370-2F September 29,2011 1 (9) Ensure vehicle and pedestrian operations addressed in the CSPP and SPCD are coordinated with airport tenants,the airport traffic control tower(ATCT),and construction contractors. (10) At certificated airports,ensure each CSPP and SPCD is consistent with Part 139. (11) Conduct inspections sufficiently frequently to ensure construction contractors and tenants comply with the CSPP and SPCD and that there are no altered construction activities that could create potential safety hazards. (12) Resolve safety deficiencies immediately. At airports subject to 49 CFR Part 1542, Airport Security,ensure construction access complies with the security requirements of that regulation. (13) Notify appropriate parties when conditions exist that invoke provisions of the CSPP and SPCD(for example, implementation of low-visibility operations). (14) Ensure prompt submittal of a Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration(Form 7460-1)for conducting an aeronautical study of potential obstructions such as tall equipment(cranes, concrete pumps, other.), stock piles,and haul routes. A separate form may be filed for each potential obstruction,or one form may be filed describing the entire construction area and maximum equipment height. In the latter case, a separate form must be filed for any object beyond or higher than the originally evaluated area/height. The FAA encourages online submittal of forms for expediency. The appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office can provide assistance in determining which objects require an aeronautical study. (15) Promptly notify the FAA Airports Regional or District Office of any proposed changes to the CSPP prior to implementation of the change. Changes to the CSPP require review and approval by the airport operator and the FAA. Coordinate with appropriate local and other federal government agencies, such as EPA, OSHA, TSA,and the state environmental agency. c. Define Construction Contractor's Responsibilities. The contractor is responsible for complying with the CSPP and SPCD. The contractor must: (1) Submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document(SPCD)to the airport operator describing how it will comply with the requirements of the CSPP and supplying any details that could not be determined before contract award. The SPCD must include a certification statement by the contractor that indicates it understands the operational safety requirements of the CSPP and it asserts it will not deviate from the approved CSPP and SPCD unless written approval is granted by the airport operator. Any construction practice proposed by the contractor that does not conform to the CSPP and SPCD may impact the airport's operational safety and will require a revision to the CSPP and SPCD and re-coordination with the airport operator and the FAA in advance. (2) Have available at all times copies of the CSPP and SPCD for reference by the airport operator and its representatives, and by subcontractors and contractor employees. (3) Ensure that construction personnel are familiar with safety procedures and regulations on the airport. Provide a point of contact who will coordinate an immediate response to correct any construction-related activity that may adversely affect the operational safety of the airport. Many projects will require 24-hour coverage. (4) Identify in the SPCD the contractor's on-site employees responsible for monitoring , compliance with the CSPP and SPCD during construction. At least one of these employees must be on- site whenever active construction is taking place. (5) Conduct inspections sufficiently frequently to ensure construction personnel comply with the CSPP and SPCD and that there are no altered construction activities that could create potential safety hazards. , Chapter 1 Planning an Airfield Construction Project 4 ' September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F (6) Restrict movement of construction vehicles and personnel to permitted construction areas by flagging,barricading,erecting temporary fencing,or providing escorts, as appropriate and as ' specified in the CSPP and SPCD. (7) Ensure that no contractor employees,employees of subcontractors or suppliers,or ' other persons enter any part of the air operations area(AOA)from the construction site unless authorized. (8) Ensure prompt submittal through the airport operator of Form 7460-1 for the purpose of conducting an aeronautical study of contractor equipment such as tall equipment(cranes, ' concrete pumps, and other equipment), stock piles,and haul routes when different from cases previously filed by the airport operator. The FAA encourages online submittal of forms for expediency. d. Define Tenant's Responsibilities if planning construction activities on leased property. Airport tenants, such as airline operators, fixed base operators, and FAA ATO/Technical Operations sponsoring construction must: ' (1) Develop,or have a consultant develop,a project specific CSPP and submit it to the airport operator for certification and subsequent approval by the FAA. The approved CSPP must be made part of any contract awarded by the tenant for construction work. ' (2) In coordination with its contractor,develop an SPCD and submit it to the airport operator for approval to be issued prior to issuance of a Notice to Proceed. (3) Ensure that construction personnel are familiar with safety procedures and ' regulations on the airport. (4) Provide a point of contact of who will coordinate an immediate response to correct any ' construction-related activity that may adversely affect the operational safety of the airport. (5) Identify in the SPCD the contractor's on-site employees responsible for monitoring compliance with the CSPP and SPCD during construction. At least one of these employees must be on- site whenever active construction is taking place. (6) Ensure that no tenant or contractor employees,employees of subcontractors or suppliers, or any other persons enter any part of the AOA from the construction site unless authorized. (7) Restrict movement of construction vehicles to construction areas by flagging and barricading, erecting temporary fencing,or providing escorts, as appropriate,and as specified in the CSPP ' and SPCD. (8) Ensure prompt submittal through the airport operator of Form 7460-1 for the purpose of conducting an aeronautical study of contractor equipment such as tall equipment(cranes, ' concrete pumps, other etc.), stock piles,and haul routes. The FAA encourages online submittal of forms for expediency.

Construction Safety and Phasing Plans Section 1. Basic Considerations 201. Overview.Aviation safety is the primary consideration at airports,especially during construction. The airport operator's Construction Safety and Phasing Plan(CSPP)and the contractor's Safety Plan Compliance Document(SPCD)are the primary tools to ensure safety compliance when coordinating construction activities with airport operations. These documents identify all aspects of the construction project that pose a potential safety hazard to airport operations and outline respective mitigation procedures for each hazard. They must provide all information necessary for the Airport Operations department to conduct airfield inspections and expeditiously identify and correct unsafe conditions during construction. All aviation safety provisions included within the project drawings,contract specifications, and other related documents must also be reflected in the CSPP and SPCD. 202. Assume Responsibility. Operational safety on the airport remains the airport operator's responsibility at all times. The airport operator must develop,certify, and submit for FAA approval each CSPP. It is the airport operator's responsibility to apply the requirements of the FAA approved CSPP. The airport operator must revise the CSPP when conditions warrant changes and must submit the revised CSPP to the FAA for approval. The airport operator must also require and approve a SPCD from the project contractor. 203. Submit the CSPP.Construction Safety and Phasing Plans should be developed concurrently with the project design. Milestone versions of the CSPP should be submitted for review and approval as follows. While these milestones are not mandatory, early submission will help to avoid delays. Submittals are preferred in 8.5 x 11 in or 11 x 17 in format for compatibility with the FAA's Obstruction Evaluation/ Airport Airspace Analysis(OE/AAA)process. a. Submit an Outline/Draft.By the time approximately 25%to 30%of the project design is completed,the principal elements of the CSPP should be established. Airport operators are encouraged to submit an outline or draft,detailing all CSPP provisions developed to date,to the FAA for review at this stage of the project design. 111 b. Submit a Construction Safety and Phasing Plan(CSPP). The CSPP should be formally submitted for FAA approval when the project design is 80%to 90%complete. Since provisions in the CSPP will influence contract costs, it is important to obtain FAA approval in time to include all such provisions in the procurement contract. ' c. Submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document(SPCD). The contractor should submit the SPCD to the airport operator for approval to be issued prior to the Notice to Proceed. d. Submit CSPP Revisions. All revisions to the CSPP or SPCD should be submitted to the FAA for approval as soon as required changes are identified. 204. Meet CSPP Requirements. ' a. To the extent possible,the CSPP should address the following as outlined in Section 2,Plan Requirements and Chapter 3, Guidelines for Writing a CSPP, as appropriate. Details that cannot be determined at this stage are to be included in the SPCD.

In addition,the SPCD must include all supplemental information that could not be included in the CSPP prior to the contract award. I The contractor statement should include the name of the contractor,the title of the project CSPP,the approval date of the CSPP, and a reference to any supplemental information(that is, "I,Name of Contractor,have read the Title of Project CSPP,approved on Date,and will abide by it as written and I with the following additions as noted:"). The supplemental information in the SPCD should be written to match the format of the CSPP indicating each subject by corresponding CSPP subject number and title. If no supplemental information is necessary for any specific subject,the statement, "No supplemental I information,"should be written after the corresponding subject title. The SPCD should not duplicate information in the CSPP: (1) Coordination.Discuss details of proposed safety meetings with the airport operator and Iwith contractor employees and subcontractors. (2) Phasing.Discuss proposed construction schedule elements, including: I (a) Duration of each phase. (b) Daily start and finish of construction, including"night only"construction.

(18) Other limitations on construction should be identified in the CSPP and should not ' require an entry in the SPCD. Section 2. Plan Requirements ' 205. Coordination.Airport operators,or tenants conducting construction on their leased properties, should use predesign, prebid, and preconstruction conferences to introduce the subject of airport operational safety during construction(see AC 150/5300-9). In addition,the following should be coordinated as required: a. Contractor Progress Meetings. Operational safety should be a standing agenda item for discussion during progress meetings throughout the project. b. Scope or Schedule Changes. Changes in the scope or duration of the project may necessitate revisions to the CSPP and review and approval by the airport operator and the FAA. c. FAA ATO Coordination.Early coordination with FAA ATO is required to schedule airway ' facility shutdowns and restarts. Relocation or adjustments to NAVAIDs,or changes to final grades in critical areas,may require an FAA flight inspection prior to restarting the facility.Flight inspections must be coordinated and scheduled well in advance of the intended facility restart. Flight inspections may ' require a reimbursable agreement between the airport operator and FAA ATO. Reimbursable agreements should be coordinated a minimum of 12 months prior to the start of construction. (See 213.e(3)(b)for required FAA notification regarding FAA owned NAVAIDs.) 206. Phasing.Once it has been determined what types and levels of airport operations will be maintained,the most efficient sequence of construction may not be feasible. In such a case,the sequence of construction may be phased to gain maximum efficiency while allowing for the required operations. ' The development of the resulting construction phases should be coordinated with local Air Traffic personnel and airport users. The sequenced construction phases established in the CSPP must be incorporated into the project design and must be reflected in the contract drawings and specifications. a. Phase Elements. For each phase the CSPP should detail: • Areas closed to aircraft operations 11 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans AC 150/5370-2F September 29,2011 , • Duration of closures • Taxi routes • ARFF access routes • Construction staging areas • Construction access and haul routes • Impacts to NAVAIDs • Lighting and marking changes • Available runway length • Declared distances(if applicable) • Required hazard marking and lighting ' • Lead times for required notifications b. Construction Safety Drawings. Drawings specifically indicating operational safety procedures ' and methods in affected areas (that is, construction safety drawings)should be developed for each construction phase. Such drawings should be included in the CSPP as referenced attachments and should likewise be included in the contract drawing package. 207. Areas and Operations Affected by Construction Activity. Runways and taxiways should remain in use by aircraft to the maximum extent possible without compromising safety. Pre-meetings with the FAA Air Traffic Organization(ATO)will support operational simulations. See Chapter 3 for an example of a table showing temporary operations versus current operations. a. Identification of Affected Areas. Identifying areas and operations affected by the construction I will help to determine possible safety problems. The affected areas should be indentified in the construction safety drawings for each construction phase. (See 206.b above.)Of particular concern are: (1) Closing,or partial closing,of runways,taxiways and aprons. When a runway is partially closed, a portion of the pavement is unavailable for any aircraft operation,meaning taxiing, landing,or taking off in either direction on that pavement is prohibited. A displaced threshold,by contrast, is established to ensure obstacle clearance and adequate safety area for landing aircraft. The pavement prior to the displaced threshold is available for take-off in the direction of the displacement and for landing and taking off in the opposite direction.Misunderstanding this difference,and issuance of a subsequently inaccurate NOTAM,can lead to a hazardous condition. (2) Closing of Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting access routes. (3) Closing of access routes used by airport and airline support vehicles. , (4) Interruption of utilities,including water supplies for fire fighting. (5) Approach/departure surfaces affected by heights of objects. ' (6) Construction areas,storage areas,and access routes near runways,taxiways, aprons,or helipads. b. Mitigation of Effects. Establishment of specific procedures is necessary to maintain the safety and efficiency of airport operations. The CSPP must address: (1) Temporary changes to runway and/or taxi operations. I (2) Detours for ARFF and other airport vehicles. i Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 12 ' September 29,2011 AC 150/5370-2F (3) Maintenance of essential utilities. ' (4) Temporary changes to air traffic control procedures. Such changes must be coordinated with the ATO. I 208. Navigating on cAid (NAVAID)quipment Protection. Before commencing construction activity,parking vehicles, or storionstruction eand materials near a NAVAID, coordinate with the appropriate FAA ATO/Technical Operations office to evaluate the effect of construction activity and the required distance and direction from the NAVAID. (See paragraph 213.e(3)below.)Construction activities, ' materials/equipment storage,and vehicle parking near electronic NAVAIDs require special consideration since they may interfere with signals essential to air navigation. If any NAVAID may be affected,the CSPP and SPCD must show an understanding of the"critical area"associated with each NAVAID and describe how it will be protected. Where applicable,the operational critical areas of NAVAIDs should be graphically delineated on the project drawings. Pay particular attention to stockpiling material,as well as to movement and parking of equipment that may interfere with line of sight from the ATCT or with electronic emissions. Interference from construction equipment and activities may require NAVAID shutdown or adjustment of ' instrument approach minimums for low visibility operations. This condition requires that a NOTAM be filed(see paragraph 213.b below). Construction activities and materials/equipment storage near a NAVAID must not obstruct access to the equipment and instruments for maintenance. Submittal of a 7460-1 form is required for construction vehicles operating near FAA NAVAIDs. (See paragraph 213.e(1)below.) ' 209. Contractor Access. The CSPP must detail the areas to which the contractor must have access, and explain how contractor personnel will access those areas. Specifically address: a. Location of Stockpiled Construction Materials. Stockpiled materials and equipment storage are not permitted within the RSA and OFZ, and if possible should not be permitted within the Object Free Area(OFA) of an operational runway. Stockpiling material in the OFA requires submittal of a 7460-1 form and justification provided to the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office for approval. The airport operator must ensure that stockpiled materials and equipment adjacent to these areas are prominently marked and lighted during hours of restricted visibility or darkness. (See paragraph 218.b below.) This includes determining and verifying that materials are stabilized and stored at an approved location so as not to be a hazard to aircraft operations and to prevent attraction of ' wildlife and foreign object damage. See paragraphs 210 and 211 below. b. Vehicle and Pedestrian Operations. The CSPP should include specific vehicle and pedestrian requirements. Vehicle and pedestrian access routes for airport construction projects must be controlled to ' prevent inadvertent or unauthorized entry of persons,vehicles, or animals onto the AOA. The airport operator should coordinate requirements for vehicle operations with airport tenants, contractors,and the FAA air traffic manager. In regard to vehicle and pedestrian operations,the CSPP should include the ' following, and detail associated training requirements: (1) Construction site parking. Designate in advance vehicle parking areas for contractor employees to prevent any unauthorized entry of persons or vehicles onto the AOA. These areas should ' provide reasonable contractor employee access to the job site. (2) Construction equipment parking. Contractor employees must park and service all construction vehicles in an area designated by the airport operator outside the OFZ and never in the safety area of an active runway or taxiway.Unless a complex setup procedure makes movement of specialized equipment infeasible, inactive equipment must not be parked on a closed taxiway or runway. If it is necessary to leave specialized equipment on a closed taxiway or runway at night,the equipment must be well lighted. Employees should also park construction vehicles outside the OFA when not in use by construction personnel(for example, overnight,on weekends, or during other periods when construction is not active). Parking areas must not obstruct the clear line of sight by the ATCT to any taxiways or runways under air traffic control nor obstruct any runway visual aids, signs, or navigation aids. The FAA 13 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans I I AC 150/5370-2F September 29,2011 I must also study those areas to determine effects on airport design criteria, surfaces established by 14 CFR Part 77, Safe,Efficient Use, and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace(Part 77), and on NAVAIDs and Instrument Approach Procedures(IAP). See paragraph 213.e(1)below for further information. I (3) Access and haul roads. Determine the construction contractor's access to the construction sites and haul roads. Do not permit the construction contractor to use any access or haul I roads other than those approved. Access routes used by contractor vehicles must be clearly marked to prevent inadvertent entry to areas open to airport operations. Pay special attention to ensure that if construction traffic is to share or cross any ARFF routes that ARFF right of way is not impeded at any time,and that construction traffic on haul roads does not interfere with NAVAIDs or approach I surfaces of operational runways. (4) Marking and lighting of vehicles in accordance with AC 150/5210-5,Painting, I Marking, and Lighting of Vehicles Used on an Airport. (5) Description of proper vehicle operations on various areas under normal, lost communications,and emergency conditions. I (6) Required escorts. (7) Training requirements for vehicle drivers to ensure compliance with the airport ' operator's vehicle rules and regulations. Specific training should be provided to those vehicle operators providing escorts. See AC 150/5210-20, Ground Vehicle Operations on Airports,for information on training and records maintenance requirements. (8) Situational awareness.Vehicle drivers must confirm by personal observation that no I aircraft is approaching their position(either in the air or on the ground)when given clearance to cross a runway,taxiway,or any other area open to airport operations. In addition, it is the responsibility of the escort vehicle driver to verify the movement/position of all escorted vehicles at any given time. I (9) Two-way radio communication procedures. (a) General. The airport operator must ensure that tenant and construction contractor I personnel engaged in activities involving unescorted operation on aircraft movement areas observe the proper procedures for communications, including using appropriate radio frequencies at airports with and without ATCT. When operating vehicles on or near open runways or taxiways,construction personnel I must understand the critical importance of maintaining radio contact,as directed by the airport operator, with: (i)Airport operations, (ii) ATCT,(iii)Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF),which may include UNICOM, (iv)Automatic Terminal Information Service(ATIS). This frequency is useful for I monitoring conditions on the airport. Local air traffic will broadcast information regarding construction related runway closures and"shortened"runways on the ATIS frequency. (b) Areas requiring two-way radio communication with the ATCT.Vehicular traffic I crossing active movement areas must be controlled either by two-way radio with the ATCT,escort, flagman, signal light, or other means appropriate for the particular airport. II (c) Frequencies to be used. The airport operator will specify the frequencies to be used by the contractor,which may include the CTAF for monitoring of aircraft operations. Frequencies may also be assigned by the airport operator for other communications, including any radio frequency in I compliance with Federal Communications Commission requirements. At airports with an ATCT,the airport operator will specify the frequency assigned by the ATCT to be used between contractor vehicles and the ATCT. I (d) Proper radio usage, including read back requirements. 13 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans I ' September 29,2011 AC 150/5370-2F (e) Proper phraseology, including the International Phonetic Alphabet. ' (f) Light gun signals. Even though radio communication is maintained,escort vehicle drivers must also familiarize themselves with ATCT light gun signals in the event of radio failure. See the FAA safety placard"Ground Vehicle Guide to Airport Signs and Markings."This safety placard may be ' downloaded through the Runway Safety Program Web site at: http://www.faa.gov/airports/runway safety/publications/(See "Signs&Markings Vehicle Dashboard Sticker".)or obtained from the FAA Airports Regional Office. (10) Maintenance of the secured area of the airport,including: (a) Fencing and gates. Airport operators and contractors must take care to maintain security during construction when access points are created in the security fencing to permit the passage of construction vehicles or personnel. Temporary gates should be equipped so they can be securely closed and locked to prevent access by animals and unauthorized people. Procedures should be in place to ensure that only authorized persons and vehicles have access to AOA and to prohibit"piggybacking" behind another person or vehicle. The Department of Transportation(DOT)document DOT/FAA/AR- 00/52,Recommended Security Guidelines for Airport Planning and Construction, provides more specific information on fencing. A copy of this document can be obtained from the Airport Consultants Council, Airports Council International, or American Association of Airport Executives. (b) Badging requirements. ' (c) Airports subject to 49 CFR Part 1542, Airport Security, must meet standards for access control,movement of ground vehicles, and identification of construction contractor and tenant personnel. 210. Wildlife Management.The CSPP and SPCD must be in accordance with the airport operator's wildlife hazard management plan, if applicable. See also AC 150/5200-33,Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or Near Airports, and Certalert 98-05,Grasses Attractive to Hazardous Wildlife. 1 Construction contractors must carefully control and continuously remove waste or loose materials that might attract wildlife. Contractor personnel must be aware of and avoid construction activities that can create wildlife hazards on airports, such as: ' a. Trash.Food scraps must be collected from construction personnel activity. b. Standing Water. c. Tall Grass and Seeds.Requirements for turf establishment can be at odds with requirements for wildlife control. Grass seed is attractive to birds. Lower quality seed mixtures can contain seeds of plants (such as clover)that attract larger wildlife. Seeding should comply with the guidance in AC 150/5370-10, Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports, Item T-901, Seeding. Contact the local office of the United Sates Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service or the State University Agricultural ' Extension Service(County Agent or equivalent)for assistance and recommendations. These agencies can also provide liming and fertilizer recommendations. d. Poorly Maintained Fencing and Gates. See 209.b(10)(a)above. e. Disruption of Existing Wildlife Habitat. While this will frequently be unavoidable due to the ' nature of the project,the CSPP should specify under what circumstances(location, wildlife type) contractor personnel should immediately notify the airport operator of wildlife sightings. 15 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans I September 29,2011 AC 150/5370-2F 211. Foreign Object Debris (FOD)Management. Waste and loose materials,commonly referred to as FOD,are capable of causing damage to aircraft landing gears,propellers, and jet engines. Construction contractors must not leave or place FOD on or near active aircraft movement areas. Materials capable of creating FOD must be continuously removed during the construction project. Fencing(other than security fencing)may be necessary to contain material that can be carried by wind into areas where aircraft operate. See AC 150/5210-24,Foreign Object Debris(FOD)Management. 212. Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Management. Contractors operating construction vehicles and equipment on the airport must be prepared to expeditiously contain and clean-up spills resulting from I fuel or hydraulic fluid leaks. Transport and handling of other hazardous materials on an airport also requires special procedures. See AC 150/5320-15, Management of Airport Industrial Waste. 213. Notification of Construction Activities. The CSPP and SPCD must detail procedures for the immediate notification of airport users and the FAA of any conditions adversely affecting the operational safety of the airport. It must address the notification actions described below,as applicable. 111 a. List of Responsible Representatives/points of contact for all involved parties,and procedures for contacting each of them, including after hours. b. NOTAMs. Only the airport operator may initiate or cancel NOTAMs on airport conditions, and is the only entity that can close or open a runway. The airport operator must coordinate the issuance, maintenance, and cancellation of NOTAMs about airport conditions resulting from construction activities with tenants and the local air traffic facility(control tower, approach control,or air traffic control center), and must provide information on closed or hazardous conditions on airport movement areas to the FAA Flight Service Station(FSS) so it can issue a NOTAM. The airport operator must file and maintain a list of authorized representatives with the FSS. Refer to AC 150/5200-28,Notices to Airmen(NOTAMs) for Airport Operators,for a sample NOTAM form. Only the FAA may issue or cancel NOTAMs on shutdown or irregular operation of FAA owned facilities. Any person having reason to believe that a NOTAM is missing, incomplete, or inaccurate must notify the airport operator. See paragraph 207.a(1) above regarding issuing NOTAMs for partially closed runways versus runways with displaced thresholds. c. Emergency notification procedures for medical, fire fighting, and police response. , d. Coordination with ARFF. The CSPP must detail procedures for coordinating through the airport sponsor with ARFF personnel,mutual aid providers, and other emergency services if construction requires: • The deactivation and subsequent reactivation of water lines or fire hydrants,or • The rerouting,blocking and restoration of emergency access routes, or • The use of hazardous materials on the airfield. e. Notification to the FAA. ' (1) Part 77.Any person proposing construction or alteration of objects that affect navigable airspace, as defined in Part 77,must notify the FAA. This includes construction equipment and proposed parking areas for this equipment(i.e.cranes, graders, other equipment)on airports. FAA Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration, can be used for this purpose and submitted to the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office. See Appendix 1,Related Reading Material,to download the form. Further guidance is available on the FAA web site at oeaaa.faa.gov. Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 16 1 ' September 29,2011 AC 150/5370-2F (2) Part 157. With some exceptions,Title 14 CFR Part 157,Notice of Construction, ' Alteration,Activation, and Deactivation of Airports,requires that the airport operator notify the FAA in writing whenever a non-Federally funded project involves the construction of a new airport;the construction,realigning, altering, activating,or abandoning of a runway, landing strip,or associated ' taxiway; or the deactivation or abandoning of an entire airport.Notification involves submitting FAA Form 7480-1,Notice of Landing Area Proposal,to the nearest FAA Airports Regional or District Office. See Appendix 1,Related Reading Material to download the form. (3) NAVAIDS.For emergency(short-notice)notification about impacts to both airport owned and FAA owned NAVAIDs, contact: 866-432-2622. (a) Airport owned/FAA maintained. If construction operations require a shutdown of ' more than 24 hours, or more than 4 hours daily on consecutive days,of a NAVAID owned by the airport but maintained by the FAA,provide a 45-day minimum notice to FAA ATO/Technical Operations prior to facility shutdown. ' (b) FAA owned. (i) General. The airport operator must notify the appropriate FAA ATO Service ' Area Planning and Requirements(P&R)Group a minimum of 45 days prior to implementing an event that causes impacts to NAVAIDs. (Impacts to FAA equipment covered by a Reimbursable Agreement (RA)do not have to be reported by the airport operator.) ' (ii) Coordinate work for an FAA owned NAVAID shutdown with the local FAA ATO/Technical Operations office, including any necessary reimbursable agreements and flight checks. Detail procedures that address unanticipated utility outages and cable cuts that could impact FAA ' NAVAIDs. In addition,provide seven days notice to schedule the actual shutdown. 214. Inspection Requirements. a. Daily Inspections.Inspections should be conducted at least daily,but more frequently if necessary to ensure conformance with the CSPP. A sample checklist is provided in Appendix 3, Safety and Phasing Plan Checklist. See also AC 150/5200-18, Airport Safety Self-Inspection. ' b. Final Inspections.New runways and extended runway closures may require safety inspections at certificated airports prior to allowing air carrier service. Coordinate with the FAA Airport Certification Safety Inspector(ACSI)to determine if a fmal inspection will be necessary. 215. Underground Utilities. The CSPP and/or SPCD must include procedures for locating and ' protecting existing underground utilities,cables,wires,pipelines,and other underground facilities in excavation areas. This may involve coordinating with public utilities and FAA ATO/Technical Operations.Note that"One Call"or"Miss Utility" services do not include FAA ATO/Technical ' Operations 216. Penalties. The CSPP should detail penalty provisions for noncompliance with airport rules and regulations and the safety plans(for example, if a vehicle is involved in a runway incursion). Such penalties typically include rescission of driving privileges or access to the AOA. 217. Special Conditions. The CSPP must detail any special conditions that affect the operation of the ' airport and will require the activation of any special procedures (for example, low-visibility operations, snow removal,aircraft in distress,aircraft accident, security breach,Vehicle/Pedestrian Deviation(VPD) and other activities requiring construction suspension/resumption). 111 17 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans I AC 150/5370-2F September 29,2011 I 218. Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids.Includes marking, lighting, signs,and visual NAVAIDS. The CSPP must ensure that areas where aircraft will be operating are clearly and visibly separated from I construction areas, including closed runways. Throughout the duration of the construction project,verify that these areas remain clearly marked and visible at all times and that marking, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDs remain in place and operational. The CSPP must address the following, as appropriate: I a. General. Airport markings, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDs must be clearly visible to pilots, not misleading, confusing, or deceptive. All must be secured in place to prevent movement by prop wash, I jet blast,wing vortices, or other wind currents and constructed of materials that would minimize damage to an aircraft in the event of inadvertent contact. b. Markings.Markings must be in compliance with the standards of AC 150/5340-1, Standards for I Airport Markings. Runways and runway exit taxiways closed to aircraft operations are marked with a yellow X. The preferred visual aid to depict temporary runway closure is the lighted X signal placed on or near the runway designation numbers. (See paragraph 218.b(1)(b)below.) I (1) Closed Runways and Taxiways. (a) Permanently Closed Runways. For runways, obliterate the threshold marking, I runway designation marking, and touchdown zone markings, and place Xs at each end and at 1,000-foot (300 m) intervals. I e r V ,i,. .....cir ,i .,.- ....... I 11 , i F I I ilititiiiiiiiiiii, ._m µ 1 IFigure 2-1 Markings for a Temporarily Closed Runway Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 18 I I ISeptember 29,2011 AC 150/5370-2F (b) Temporarily Closed Runways. For runways that have been temporarily closed, place an X at the each end of the runway directly on or as near as practicable to the runway designation Inumbers. Figure 2-1 illustrates. (c) Partially Closed Runways and Displaced Thresholds. When threshold markings I are needed to identify the temporary beginning of the runway that is available for landing, the markings must comply with AC 150/5340-1. An X is not used on a partially closed runway or a runway with a displaced threshold. See paragraph 207.a(1)above for the difference between partially closed runways Iand runways with displaced thresholds. (i) Partially Closed Runways. Pavement markings for temporary closed portions of the runway consist of a runway threshold bar and yellow chevrons to identify pavement areas that are Iunsuitable for takeoff or landing(see AC 150/5340-1). (ii) Displaced Thresholds. Pavement markings for a displaced threshold consist of a Irunway threshold bar and white arrowheads with and without arrow shafts. These markings are required to identify the portion of the runway before the displaced threshold to provide centerline guidance for pilots during approaches,takeoffs, and landing rollouts from the opposite direction. See AC 150/5340-1. I (d) Taxiways. (i) Permanently Closed Taxiways. AC 150/5300-13 notes that it is preferable to I remove the pavement,but for pavement that is to remain,place an X at the entrance to both ends of the closed section. Obliterate taxiway centerline markings, including runway leadoff lines, leading to the closed taxiway. Figure 2-2 illustrates. I . i ° 1 1 X '" .�i• .A� ,moi- a m' ', -----1';'-iT II / / Figure 2-2 Taxiway Closure I21 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans AC 150/5370-2F September 29,2011 (ii) Temporarily Closed Taxiways. Place barricades outside the safety area of intersecting taxiways. For runway/taxiway intersections,place an X at the entrance to the closed taxiway from the runway. If the taxiway will be closed for an extended period, obliterate taxiway centerline markings, including runway leadoff lines, leading to the closed section. If the centerline markings will be reused upon reopening the taxiway, it is preferable to paint over the marking. This will result in less damage to the pavement when the upper layer of paint is ultimately removed. (e) Temporarily Closed Airport. When the airport is closed temporarily,mark all the runways as closed. (2) If unable to paint temporary markings on the pavement, construct them from any of the following materials: fabric,colored plastic, painted sheets of plywood, or similar materials. They must be properly configured and appropriately secured to prevent movement by prop wash,jet blast,or other wind currents. (3) It may be necessary to remove or cover runway markings, including but not limited to, runway designation markings,threshold markings, centerline markings, edge stripes,touchdown zone markings and aiming point markings,depending on the length of construction and type of activity at the airport. When removing runway markings, apply the same treatment to areas between stripes or numbers, as the cleaned area will appear to pilots as a marking in the shape of the treated area. (4) If it is not possible to install threshold bars, chevrons,and arrows on the pavement, ' temporary outboard markings may be used. Locate them outside of the runway pavement surface on both sides of the runway. The dimension along the runway direction must be the same as if installed on the pavement. The lateral dimension must be at least one-half that of on-pavement markings. If the markings are not discernible on grass or snow,apply a black background with appropriate material over the ground to ensure they are clearly visible. (5) The application rate of paint to mark a short-term temporary runway and taxiway I markings may deviate from the standard(see Item P-620, "Runway and Taxiway Painting," in AC 150/5370-10),but the dimensions must meet the existing standards. c. Lighting and Visual NAVAIDs. This paragraph refers to standard runway and taxiway lighting g g systems. See below for hazard lighting. Lighting must be in conformance with AC 150/5340-30,Design and Installation Details for Airport Visual Aids, and AC 150/5345-50, Specification for Portable Runway and Taxiway Lights. When disconnecting runway and taxiway lighting fixtures, disconnect the associated isolation transformers. Alternately,cover the light fixture in such a way as to prevent light leakage. Avoid removing the lamp from energized fixtures because an excessive number of isolation transformers with open secondaries may damage the regulators and/or increase the current above its normal value. Secure, identify,and place any above ground temporary wiring in conduit to prevent electrocution and fire ignition sources. (1) Permanently Closed Runways and Taxiways. For runways and taxiways that have been permanently closed,disconnect the lighting circuits. (2) Temporarily Closed Runways. If available, use a lighted X, both at night and during the day,placed at each end of the runway facing the approach. The use of a lighted X is required if night work requires runway lighting to be on. See AC 150/5345-55, Specification for L-893,Lighted Visual Aid to Indicate Temporary Runway Closure.For runways that have been temporarily closed,but for an extended period,and for those with pilot controlled lighting, disconnect the lighting circuits or secure switches to prevent inadvertent activation. For runways that will be opened periodically, coordinate procedures with the FAA air traffic manager or, at airports without an ATCT,the airport operator. Activate stop bars if available. Figure 2-3 shows a lighted X by day. Figure 2-4 shows a lighted X at night. 21 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans I AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011 I • I • • • - if' k " • a I I I I Figure 2-3 Lighted X in Daytime I • w • s •0 40411 #rte * I IFigure 2-4 Lighted X at Night I (3) Partially Closed Runways and Displaced Thresholds. When a runway is partially closed, a portion of the pavement is unavailable for any aircraft operation,meaning taxiing and landing or taking off in either direction. A displaced threshold,by contrast, is put in place to ensure obstacle clearance by landing aircraft. The pavement prior to the displaced threshold is available for takeoff in the I direction of the displacement, and for landing and takeoff in the opposite direction. Misunderstanding this difference and issuance of a subsequently inaccurate NOTAM.can result in a hazardous situation. For both partially closed runways and displaced thresholds, approach lighting systems at the affected end must be Iplaced out of service (a) Partially Closed Runways. Disconnect edge and threshold lights on that part of the runway at and behind the threshold(that is,the portion of the runway that is closed). Alternately, I cover the light fixture in such a way as to prevent light leakage. I Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 22 I September 29,2011 AC 150/5370-2F I (b) Displaced Thresholds. Edge lighting in the area of the displacement emits red light in the direction of approach and yellow light in the opposite direction. Centerline lights are blanked I out in the direction of approach if the displacement is 700 ft or less. If the displacement is over 700 feet, place the centerline lights out of service. See AC 150/5340-30 for details on lighting displaced thresholds. (c) Temporary runway thresholds and runway ends must be lighted if the runway is I lighted and it is the intended threshold for night landings or instrument meteorological conditions. (d) A temporary threshold on an unlighted runway may be marked by retroreflective, elevated markers in addition to markings noted in paragraph 218.b(1)(c)above. Markers seen by aircraft I on approach are green. Markers at the rollout end of the runway are red. At certificated airports,temporary elevated threshold markers must be mounted with a frangible fitting(see 14 CFR Part 139.309). At non- certificated airports,the temporary elevated threshold markings may either be mounted with a frangible I fitting or be flexible. See AC 150/5345-39, Specification for L-853,Runway and Taxiway Retroreflective Markers. (e) Temporary threshold lights and end lights and related visual NAVAIDs are I installed outboard of the edges of the full-strength pavement only when they cannot be installed on the pavement. They are installed with bases at grade level or as low as possible,but not more than 3 in(7.6 cm) above ground. When any portion of a base is above grade,place properly compacted fill around the I base to minimize the rate of gradient change so aircraft can, in an emergency,cross at normal landing or takeoff speeds without incurring significant damage. See AC 150/5370-10. (f) Maintain threshold and edge lighting color and spacing standards as described in I AC 150/5340-30.Battery powered,solar,or portable lights that meet the criteria in AC 150/5345-50 may be used.These systems are intended primarily for visual flight rules(VFR)aircraft operations but may be used for instrument flight rules(IFR)aircraft operations,upon individual approval from the Flight I Standards Division of the applicable FAA Regional Office. (g) Reconfigure yellow lenses(caution zone),as necessary. If the runway has centerline lights,reconfigure the red lenses, as necessary,or place the centerline lights out of service. I (h) Relocate the visual glide slope indicator(VGSI), such as VASI and PAPI; other airport lights, such as Runway End Identifier Lights(REIL); and approach lights to identify the temporary I threshold.Another option is to disable the VGSI or any equipment that would give misleading indications to pilots as to the new threshold location. Installation of temporary visual aids may be necessary to provide adequate guidance to pilots on approach to the affected runway. If the FAA owns and operates the VGSI, I coordinate its installation or disabling with the local ATO/Technical Operations Office.Relocation of such visual aids will depend on the duration of the project and the benefits gained from the relocation,as this can result in great expense. I(i) Issue a NOTAM to inform pilots of temporary lighting conditions. (4) Temporarily Closed Taxiways.If possible, deactivate the taxiway lighting circuits. When deactivation is not possible(for example other taxiways on the same circuit are to remain open), I cover the light fixture in such a way as to prevent light leakage. d. Signs.To the extent possible, signs must be in conformance with AC 150/5345-44, Specification I for Runway and Taxiway Signs and AC 150/5340-18, Standard for Airport Sign Systems. Any time a sign does not serve its normal function; it must be covered or removed to prevent misdirecting pilots. Note that information signs identifying a crossing taxiway continue to perform their normal function even I if the crossing taxiway is closed. For long term construction projects, consider relocating signs, especially runway distance remaining signs. I 23 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans I I I AC 150/5370-2F September 29,2011 219. Marking and Signs for Access Routes. The CSPP should indicate that pavement markings and signs for construction personnel will conform to AC 150/5340-18 and,to the extent practicable, with the Federal Highway Administration Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD)and/or State highway specifications. Signs adjacent to areas used by aircraft must comply with the frangibility I requirements of AC 150/5220-23,Frangible Connections,whichmodification may require q to size and height guidance in the MUTCD. I220. Hazard Marking,Lighting and Signing. a. Hazard Marking and Lighting Prevents Pilots from entering areas closed to aircraft, and I prevents construction personnel from entering areas open to aircraft. The CSPP must specify prominent, comprehensible warning indicators for any area affected by construction that is normally accessible to aircraft,personnel, or vehicles. Hazard marking and lighting must also be specified to identify open Imanholes,small areas under repair, stockpiled material, waste areas, and areas subject to jet blast. Also consider less obvious construction-related hazards and include markings to identify FAA, airport, and National Weather Service facilities cables and power lines; instrument landing system(ILS)critical areas; airport surfaces, such as RSA,OFA, and OFZ; and other sensitive areas to make it easier for contractor Ipersonnel to avoid these areas. b. Equipment. I (1) Barricades,including traffic cones, (weighted or sturdily attached to the surface)are acceptable methods used to identify and define the limits of construction and hazardous areas on airports. Careful consideration must be given to selecting equipment that poses the least danger to aircraft but is Isturdy enough to remain in place when subjected to typical winds,prop wash and jet blast. The spacing of barricades must be such that a breach is physically prevented barring a deliberate act. For example, if barricades are intended to exclude vehicles,gaps between barricades must be smaller than the width of the I excluded vehicles,generally 4 ft.Provision must be made for ARFF access if necessary. If barricades are intended to exclude pedestrians,they must be continuously linked. Continuous linking may be accomplished through the use of ropes, securely attached to prevent FOD. I (2) Lights must be red,either steady burning or flashing, and must meet the luminance requirements of the State Highway Department. Batteries powering lights will last longer if lights flash. Lights must be mounted on barricades and spaced at no more than 10 ft. Lights must be operated between Isunset and sunrise and during periods of low visibility whenever the airport is open for operations. They may be operated by photocell,but this may require that the contractor turn them on manually during periods of low visibility during daytime hours. I (3) Supplement barricades with signs (for example "No Entry,""No Vehicles")as necessary. (4) Air Operations Area—General.Barricades are not permitted in any active safety area. I Within a runway or taxiway object free area,and on aprons,use orange traffic cones, flashing or steady burning red lights as noted above, collapsible barricades marked with diagonal,alternating orange and white stripes; and/or signs to separate all construction/maintenance areas from the movement area. I Barricades may be supplemented with alternating orange and white flags at least 20 by 20 in(50 by 50 cm)square and securely fastened to eliminate FOD. All barricades adjacent to any open runway or taxiway/taxilane safety area, or apron must be as low as possible to the ground, and no more than 18 in Ihigh, exclusive of supplementary lights and flags. Barricades must be of low mass; easily collapsible upon contact with an aircraft or any of its components;and weighted or sturdily attached to the surface to prevent displacement from prop wash,jet blast, wing vortex, or other surface wind currents. If affixed to the surface,they must be frangible at grade level or as low as possible,but not to exceed 3 in(7.6 cm) Iabove the ground. Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6 show sample barricades with proper coloring and flags.

'c ,., tea Figure 2-5 Interlocking Barricades • } i Figure 2-6 Low Profile Barricades ' (5) Air Operations Area—Runway/Taxiway Intersections.Use highly reflective barricades with lights to close taxiways leading to closed runways. Evaluate all operating factors when determining how to mark temporary closures that can last from 10 to 15 minutes to a much longer period of time. However, even for closures of relatively short duration, close all taxiway/runway intersections with barricades. The use of traffic cones is appropriate for short duration closures. (6) Air Operations Area—Other.Beyond runway and taxiway object free areas and aprons, barricades intended for construction vehicles and personnel may be many different shapes and made from various materials, including railroad ties,sawhorses,jersey barriers, or barrels. (7) Maintenance. The construction specifications must include a provision requiring the contractor to have a person on call 24 hours a day for emergency maintenance of airport hazard lighting and barricades. The contractor must file the contact person's information with the airport operator. Lighting should be checked for proper operation at least once per day,preferably at dusk. 1 25 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans I I AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011 221. Protection of Runway and Taxiway Safety Areas.Runway and taxiway safety areas, Obstacle I Free zones(OFZ),object free areas(OFA),and approach surfaces are described in AC 150/5300-13. Protection of these areas includes limitations on the location and height of equipment and stockpiled material. An FAA airspace study may be required. Coordinate with the appropriate FAA Airports I Regional or District Office if there is any doubt as to requirements or dimensions(See paragraph 213.e above.)as soon as the location and height of materials or equipment are known. The CSPP should include drawings showing all safety areas, object free areas, obstacle free zones and approach departure surfaces affected by construction. Ia. Runway SafetyArea(RSA). A runway safetyare area is the defined surface surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot, I overshoot, or excursion from the runway(see AC 150/5300-13). Construction activities within the existing RSA are subject to the following conditions: I (1) No construction may occur within the existing RSA while the runway is open for aircraft operations. The RSA dimensions may be temporarily adjusted if the runway is restricted to aircraft operations requiring an RSA that is equal to the RSA width and length beyond the runway ends available during construction. (see AC 150/5300-13). The temporary use of declared distances and/or I partial runway closures may provide the necessary RSA under certain circumstances. Coordinate with the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office to have declared distances information published. See AC 150/5300-13 for guidance on the use of declared distances. I (2) The airport operator must coordinate the adjustment of RSA dimensions as permitted above with the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office and the local FAA air traffic manager and issue a NOTAM. I (3) The CSPP and SPCD must provide procedures for ensuring adequate distance for protection from blasting operations, if required by operational considerations. I (4) Excavations. (a) Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the RSA while the runway Iis open. If possible,backfill trenches before the runway is opened. If the runway must be opened before excavations are backfilled,cover the excavations appropriately. Covering for open trenches must be designed to allow the safe operation of the heaviest aircraft operating on the runway across the trench without damage to the aircraft. I (b) Construction contractors must prominently mark open trenches and excavations at the construction site with red or orange flags, as approved by the airport operator, and light them with I red lights during hours of restricted visibility or darkness. (5) Erosion Control. Soil erosion must be controlled to maintain RSA standards,that is,the RSA must be cleared and graded and have no potentially hazardous ruts,humps, depressions,or other I surface variations, and capable,under dry conditions,of supporting snow removal equipment, aircraft rescue and fire fighting equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing structural damage to the aircraft. 1 b. Runway Object Free Area (ROFA). Construction, including excavations, may be permitted in the ROFA. However, equipment must be removed from ROFA when not in use, and material should not 111be stockpiled in ROFA if not necessary. Stockpiling material in the OFA requires submittal of a 7460-1 form and justification provided to the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office for approval. c. Taxiway Safety Area(TSA). A taxiway safety area is a defined surface alongside the taxiway Iprepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to an airplane unintentionally departing the taxiway. (See AC 150/5300-13.)Construction activities within the TSA are subject to the following conditions: I Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 26 I September 29,2011 AC 150/5370-2F I (1) No construction may occur within the TSA while the taxiway is open for aircraft operations. The TSA dimensions may be temporarily adjusted if the taxiway is restricted to aircraft I operations requiring a TSA that is equal to the TSA width available during construction(see AC 150/5300-13,Table 4-1). (2) The airport operator must coordinate the adjustment of the TSA width as permitted I above with the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office and the FAA air traffic manager and issue a NOTAM. (3) The CSPP and SPCD must provide procedures for ensuring adequate distance for I protection from blasting operations. (4) Excavations. I(a) Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the TSA while the taxiway is open. If possible,backfill trenches before the taxiway is opened.If the taxiway must be opened before excavations are backfilled,cover the excavations appropriately. Covering for open trenches must be I designed to allow the safe operation of the heaviest aircraft operating on the taxiway across the trench without damage to the aircraft. (b) Construction contractors must prominently mark open trenches and excavations at the construction site with red or orange flags, as approved by the airport operator, and light them with red lights during hours of restricted visibility or darkness. I (5) Erosion Control. Soil erosion must be controlled to maintain TSA standards,that is,the TSA must be cleared and graded and have no potentially hazardous ruts,humps,depressions, or other surface variations, and capable,under dry conditions, of supporting snow removal equipment, aircraft I rescue and fire fighting equipment,and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing structural damage to the aircraft. d. Taxiway Object Free Area(TOFA).Unlike the Runway Object Free Area, aircraft wings I regularly penetrate the taxiway object free area during normal operations. Thus the restrictions are more stringent. Except as provided below,no construction may occur within the taxiway object free area while the taxiway is open for aircraft operations. I (1) The taxiway object free area dimensions may be temporarily adjusted if the taxiway is restricted to aircraft operations requiring a taxiway object free area that is equal to the taxiway object free area width available. I (2) Offset taxiway pavement markings may be used as a temporary measure to provide the required taxiway object free area. Where offset taxiway pavement markings are provided,centerline I lighting or reflectors are required. (3) Construction activity may be accomplished without adjusting the width of the taxiway object free area, subject to the following restrictions: I(a)Appropriate NOTAMs are issued. (b)Marking& lighting meeting provisions of paragraphs 218 &220 above are implemented. I(c)Five-foot clearance is maintained between equipment and materials and any part of an aircraft(includes wingtip overhang). In these situations,flaggers must be used to direct construction equipment,and wing walkers will be necessary to guide aircraft. Wing walkers should be airline/aviation personnel rather than construction workers. If such clearance can only be maintained if an aircraft does not have full use of the entire taxiway width(with its main landing gear at the edge of the pavement),then it will be necessary to move personnel and equipment for the passage of that aircraft. I 27 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans I 1 AC 150/5370-2F September 29,2011 e. Obstacle Free Zone(OFZ). In general,personnel,material,and/or equipment may not penetrate the OFZ while the runway is open for aircraft operations. If a penetration to the OFZ is necessary, it may ' be possible to continue aircraft operations through operational restrictions. Coordinate with the FAA through the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office. If. Runway Approach/Departure Areas and Clearways. All personnel,materials, and/or equipment must remain clear of the applicable threshold siting surfaces,as defined in Appendix 2, "Threshold Siting Requirements,"of AC 150/5300-13. Objects that do not penetrate these surfaces may still be obstructions to air navigation and may affect standard instrument approach procedures. Coordinate with the FAA through the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office. (1) Construction activity in a runway approach/departure area may result in the need to ' partially close a runway or displace the existing runway threshold. Partial runway closure,displacement of the runway threshold,as well as closure of the complete runway and other portions of the movement area also require coordination through the airport operator with the appropriate FAA air traffic manager (FSS if non-towered)and ATO/Technical Operations(for affected NAVAIDS) and airport users. (2) Caution regarding partial runway closures. When filing a NOTAM for a partial runway closure,clearly state to OCC personnel that the portion of pavement located prior to the threshold ' is not available for landing and departing traffic. In this case,the threshold has been moved for both landing and takeoff purposes(this is different than a displaced threshold). There may be situations where the portion of closed runway is available for taxiing only. If so,the NOTAM must reflect this condition). ' (3) Caution regarding displaced thresholds. : Implementation of a displaced threshold affects runway length available for aircraft landing over the displacement. Depending on the reason for the displacement(to provide obstruction clearance or RSA), such a displacement may also require an ' adjustment in the landing distance available and accelerate-stop distance available in the opposite direction. If project scope includes personnel, equipment, excavation, other work. within the existing RSA of any usable runway end, do not implement a displaced threshold unless arrivals and departures toward the construction activity are prohibited. Instead, implement a partial closure. 222. Other Limitations on Construction. The CSPP must specify any other limitations on ' construction, including but not limited to: a. Prohibitions. (1) No use of tall equipment(cranes, concrete pumps,and so on)unless a 7460-1 determination letter is issued for such equipment. (2) No use of open flame welding or torches unless fire safety precautions are provided and the airport operator has approved their use. (3) No use of electrical blasting caps on or within 1,000 ft(300 m)of the airport property. ' See AC 150/5370-10. (4) No use of flare pots within the AOA. b. Restrictions. (1) Construction suspension required during specific airport operations. ' (2) Areas that cannot be worked on simultaneously. (3) Day or night construction restrictions. (4) Seasonal construction restrictions. 29 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans AC 150/5370-2F September 29,2011 I 1 1 1 I 1 Intentionally Left Blank 1 I I I 1 I Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 30 1 September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F Chapter 3. Guidelines for Writing a CSPP 301. General Requirements. The CSPP is a standalone document written to correspond with the subjects outlined in Chapter 2, Section 1,paragraph 204. The CSPP is organized by numbered sections corresponding to each subject listed in Chapter 2, Section 1,paragraph 204,and described in detail in Chapter 2, Section 2. Each section number and title in CSPP matches the corresponding subject outlined in Chapter 2,paragraph 204(for example, 1. Coordination,2. Phasing,3. Areas and Operations Affected by the Construction Activity,and so on.). With the exception of the project scope of work outlined in ' Section 2. Phasing, only subjects specific to operational safety during construction should be addressed. 302. Applicability of Subjects. Each section should,to the extent practical, focus on the specific ' subject. Where an overlapping requirement spans several sections,the requirement should be explained in detail in the most applicable section. A reference to that section should be included in all other sections where the requirement may apply. For example,the requirement to protect existing underground FAA ' Instrument Landing System(ILS)cables during trenching operations could be considered FAA ATO coordination(Section 1. Coordination,paragraph 205.c),an area and operation affected by the construction activity(Section 3. Areas and Operations Affected by the Construction Activity,paragraph 207.a(4)), a protection of a NAVAID(Section 4. Protection of Navigational Aids(NAVAIDs),paragraph 208), or a notification to the FAA of construction activities(Section 9.Notification of Construction Activities,paragraph 210.e(3)(b)). However, it is more specifically an underground utility requirement (Section 11. Underground Utilities,paragraph 215). The procedure for protecting underground ILS cables ' during trenching operations should therefore be described in Section 11: "The contractor must coordinate with the local FAA System Support Center(SSC) to mark existing ILS cable routes along Runway 17-35. The ILS cables will be located by hand digging whenever the trenching operation moves within 10 feet of ' the cable markings."All other applicable sections should include a reference to Section 11: "ILS cables shall be identified and protected as described in Section 11"or"See Section 11 for ILS cable identification and protection requirements."Thus,the CSPP should be considered as a whole, with no need to duplicate responses to related issues. 303. Graphical Representations. Construction safety drawings should be included in the CSPP as ' attachments. When other graphical representations will aid in supporting written statements,the drawings, diagrams, and/or photographs should also be attached to the CSPP. References should be made in the CSPP to each graphical attachment and may be made in multiple sections. 304. Reference Documents.The CSPP must not incorporate a document by reference unless reproduction of the material in that document is prohibited. In that case,either copies of or a source for the referenced document must be provided to the contractor. ' 305. Restrictions.CSPP should not be considered as a project design review document. CSPP must also avoid mention of permanent("as-built")features such as pavements, markings, signs,and lighting, except when such features are intended to aid in maintaining operational safety during the construction. 306. Coordination.Include in this section a detailed description of conferences and meetings both ' before and during the project. Include appropriate information from AC 150/5300-9. Discuss coordination procedures and schedules for each required FAA ATO airway facility shutdown and restart and all required flight inspections. ' 307. Phasing.Include in this section a detailed scope of work description for the project as a whole and each phase of work covered by the CSPP. This includes all locations and durations of the work ' proposed. Attach drawings to graphically support the written scope of work. Detail in this section the sequenced phases of proposed construction. Include a reference to paragraph 308 below, as appropriate. 31 Chapter 3 Guidelines for Writing a CSPP 1 AC 150/5370-2F September 29,2011 I 308. Areas and Operations Affected By Construction. Focus in this section on identifying the areas and operations affected by the construction.Describe corresponding mitigation that is not covered in detail elsewhere in the CSPP. Include references to paragraphs below as appropriate. Attach drawings as I necessary to graphically describe affected areas and mechanisms proposed. Tables and charts such as the following may be helpful in highlighting issues to be addressed.

Navigation Aid(NAVAID)Protection. List in this section all NAVAID facilities that will be affected by the construction. Identify NAVAID facilities that will be placed out of service at any time prior to or during construction activities. Identify individuals responsible for coordinating each shutdown ' and when each facility will be out of service. Include a reference to paragraph 306 above for FAA ATO NAVAID shutdown,restart, and flight inspection coordination. Outline in detail procedures to protect each NAVAID facility remaining in service from interference by construction activities.Include a ' reference to paragraph 314 for the issuance of NOTAMs as required. Include a reference to paragraph 316 for the protection of underground cables and piping serving NAVAIDs. If temporary visual aids are proposed to replace or supplement existing facilities, include a reference to paragraph 319. Attach drawings to graphically indicate the affected NAVAIDS and the corresponding critical areas. 310. Contractor Access. This will necessarily be the most extensive section of the CSPP. Provide sufficient detail so that a contractor not experienced in working on airports will understand the unique restrictions such work will require. Due to this extent,it should be broken down into subsections as described below: ' a. Location of Stockpiled Construction Materials.Describe in this section specific locations for stockpiling material.Note any height restrictions on stockpiles. Include a reference to paragraph 321 for hazard marking and lighting devices used to identify stockpiles. Include a reference to paragraph 311 for ' provisions to prevent stockpile material from becoming wildlife attractants. Include a reference to paragraph 312 for provisions to prevent stockpile material from becoming FOD. Attach drawings to graphically indicate the stockpile locations. 33 Chapter 3 Guidelines for Writing a CSPP AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011 i b. Vehicle and Pedestrian Operations.While there are many items to be addressed in this major subsection of the CSPP, all are concerned with one main issue: keeping people and vehicles from areas of the airport where they don't belong. This includes preventing unauthorized entry to the AOA& preventing the improper movement of pedestrians or vehicles on the airport. In this section, focus on mechanisms to prevent construction vehicles and workers traveling to and from the worksite from unauthorized entry into movement areas. Specify locations of parking for both employee vehicles and construction equipment, and routes for access and haul roads. In most cases,this will best be accomplished by attaching a drawing. Quote from AC 150/5210-5 specific requirements for contractor vehicles rather than referring to the AC as a whole, and include special requirements for identifying Hazardous Material(HAZMAT)vehicles. Quote from,rather than incorporate by reference,AC 150/5210-20 as appropriate to address the airport's rules for ground vehicle operations, including its training program. Discuss the airport's recordkeeping system listing authorized vehicle operators. c. Two-Way Radio Communications. Include a special section to identify all individuals who are required to maintain communications with Air Traffic(AT)at airports with active towers,or monitor Common Traffic Advisory Frequencies(CTAF)at airports without or with closed ATCT. Include training requirements for all individuals required to communicate with AT.Individuals required to monitor AT frequencies should also be identified. If construction employees are also required to communicate by radio with Airport Operations,this procedure should be described in detail.Usage of vehicle mounted radios and/or portable radios should be addressed. Communication procedures for the event of disabled radio communication(that is, light signals,telephone numbers, others)must be included. All radio frequencies should by identified(Tower,Ground Control, CTAF,UNICOM,ATIS, and so on). ' d. Airport Security.Address security as it applies to vehicle and pedestrian operations. Discuss TSA requirements, security badging requirements,perimeter fence integrity, gate security, and other needs. Attach drawings to graphically indicate secured and/or Security Identification Display Areas (SIDA),perimeter fencing,and available access points. 311. Wildlife Management.

Foreign Object Debris(FOD)Management.In this section,discuss methods to control and monitor FOD: worksite housekeeping,ground vehicle tire inspections,runway sweeps, and so on. Include a reference to paragraph 315 for inspection requirements as required. 313. Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT)Management.Describe in this section HAZMAT management procedures: fuel deliveries,spill recovery procedures,Material Safety Data Sheet(MSDS) availability, and other considerations. Any specific airport HAZMAT restrictions should also be identified. Include a reference to paragraph 310 for HAZMAT vehicle identification requirements. Quote from,rather than incorporate by reference,AC 150/5320-15. 314. Notification of Construction Activities. List in this section the names and telephone numbers of points of contact for all parties affected by the construction project. We recommend a single list that includes all telephone numbers required under this section. Include emergency notification procedures for representatives of all parties potentially impacted by construction. Identify individual representatives —and at least one alternate—for each party. List both on-duty and off-duty contact information for each individual, including individuals responsible for emergency maintenance of airport construction hazard lighting and barricades. Describe procedures to coordinate immediate response to events that might adversely affect the operational safety of the airport(such as interrupted NAVAID service). ' Chapter 3 Guidelines for Writing a CSPP 34 S=ptember 29, 2011AC 150/5370-2F E plain requirements for and the procedures for the issuance of Notices to Airmen(NOTAMs), no tification to FAA required by 14 CFR Part 77 and Part 157 and in the event of affected NAVAIDs. For ' NO TAMs, identify an individual,and at least one alternate,responsible for issuing and cancelling each sp-cific type of Notice to Airmen(NOTAM)required.Detail notification methods for police,fire fighting, . • medical emergencies. This may include 911,but should also include direct phone numbers of local po lice departments and nearby hospitals. The local Poison Control number should be listed. Procedures re arding notification of Airport Operations and/or the ARFF Department of such emergencies should be id•ntified, as applicable. If airport radio communications are identified as a means of emergency ' n. ification, include a reference to paragraph 310. Differentiate between emergency and nonemergency no ification of ARFF personnel,the latter including activities that affect ARFF water supplies and access ro;•s. Identify the primary ARFF contact person and at least one alternate. If notification is to be made ' th lough Airport Operations,then detail this procedure. Include a method of confirmation from the ARFF de.artment. 31.. Inspection Requirements. Describe in this section inspection requirements to ensure airfield sa ety compliance. Include a requirement for routine inspections by the resident engineer(RE) and the co struction contractors. If the engineering consultants and/or contractors have a Safety Officer who will co duct such inspections, identify this individual. Describe procedures for special inspections, such as those required to reopen areas for aircraft operations. Part 139 requires daily airfield inspections at ce ificated airports,but these may need to be more frequent when construction is in progress. Discuss the ro e of such inspections on areas under construction. Include a requirement to immediately remedy any de iciencies,whether caused by negligence, oversight, or project scope change. 31 g. Underground Utilities. Explain how existing underground utilities will be located and protected. ' Id:ntify each utility owner and include contact information for each company/agency in the master list. A.dress emergency response procedures for damaged or disrupted utilities.

Penalties.Describe in this section specific penalties imposed for noncompliance with airport ru -s and regulations, including the CSPP: SIDA violations,Vehicle/Pedestrian Deviations(VPD), and ' of ers. 31:. Special Conditions. Identify any special conditions that may trigger specific safety mitigation ac dons outlined in this CSPP: low visibility operations,snow removal, aircraft in distress, aircraft ' ac:ident, security breach,VPD, and other activities requiring construction suspension/resumption. Ins lude a reference to paragraph 310 above for compliance with airport safety and security measures an' for radio communications as required. Include a reference to paragraph 319 below for emergency ' no ification of all involved parties, including police/security,ARFF, and medical services. 31 Y. Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids. Include marking, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDS. D. ail temporary runway and taxiway marking, lighting, signs,and visual NAVAIDs required for the co struction.Discuss existing marking, lighting, signs,and visual NAVAIDs that are temporarily, altered, ob iterated, or shut down. Consider non-federal facilities and address requirements for reimbursable ' ag eements necessary for alteration of FAA facilities and for necessary flight checks. Identify temporary T I RA signs or runway distance remaining signs if appropriate. Identify required temporary visual N VAIDs such as REIL or PAPI. Quote from,rather than incorporate by reference,AC 150/5340-1, St. dards for Airport Markings,AC 150/5340-18, Standards for Airport Sign Systems, and AC 151/5340-30,as required. Attach drawings to graphically indicate proposed marking, lighting,signs, and vis al NAVAIDs. 35 Chapter 3 Guidelines for Writing a CSPP AC 150/5370-2F September 29,2011 320. Marking and Signs for Access Routes. Detail plans for marking and signs for vehicle access routes. To the extent possible, signs should be in conformance with the Federal Highway Administration Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices(MUTCD)and/or State highway specifications, not hand ' lettered. Detail any modifications to the guidance in the MUTCD necessary to meet frangibility/height requirements. 321. Hazard Marking and Lighting. Specify all marking and lighting equipment, including when and where each type of device is to be used. Specify maximum gaps between barricades and the maximum spacing of hazard lighting. Identify one individual and at least one alternate responsible for maintenance of hazard marking and lighting equipment in the master telephone list. Include a reference to paragraph 314 above. Attach drawings to graphically indicate the placement of hazard marking and lighting equipment. 322. Protection of Runway and Taxiway Safety Areas. This section should focus exclusively on procedures for protecting all safety areas, including those altered by the construction: methods of demarcation, limit of access,movement within safety areas, stockpiling and trenching restrictions, and so on.Reference AC 150/5300-13: Airport Design as required.Include a reference to paragraph 310 above for procedures regarding vehicle and personnel movement within safety areas. Include a reference to paragraph 310 above for material stockpile restrictions as required.Detail requirements for trenching, excavations,and backfill. Include a reference to paragraph 321 for hazard marking and lighting devices used to identify open excavations as required. If runway and taxiway closures are proposed to protect safety areas,or if temporary displaced thresholds and/or revised declared distances are used to provide adequate Runway Safety Area, include a reference to paragraphs 314 and 319 above. Detail procedures for protecting the runway OFZ,runway OFA,taxiway OFA and runway approach surfaces including those altered by the construction: methods of demarcation, limit of cranes, storage of equipment, and so on. Quote from,rather than incorporate by reference,AC 150/5300-13: Airport Design as required. Include a reference to paragraph 323 for height(i.e. crane)restrictions as required. One way to address the height of equipment that will move during the project is to establish a three-dimensional"box"within which equipment will be confined that can be studied as a single object. Attach drawings to graphically indicate the safety area, OFZ,and OFA boundaries. 323. Other Limitations on Construction. This section should describe what limitations must be applied to each area of work and when each limitation will be applied: limitations due to airport operations,height(i.e. crane)restrictions, areas which cannot be worked at simultaneously, day/night work restrictions,winter construction,and other limitations.

Dickson & Co., Inc. #20160053.00.AT May 2016 ' This project includes installation of Wind Cone, Segmented Circle and Guided Signs. This Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) has been prepared in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-2F, Operational Safety on Airports During Construction. 1. COORDINATION a. Contractor Progress Meetings. A Preconstruction Conference will be held prior to the start of construction. Weekly Construction Progress Meetings will be set by the Engineer's resident project representative and held with the construction contractor. Operational safety is a standing agenda item for all construction progress meetings throughout the project activities. b. Scope or Schedule Changes. Changes in the scope or duration of the project may ' necessitate revisions to the CSPP, and will require review and approval by the Airport Sponsor and GDOT. c. FAA ATO Coordination. Early coordination with the FAA ATO is required to schedule ' airway facility shutdowns and restarts. Runway 5and Runway 23 approach procedures will be affected when Runway 5-23 is closed to aircraft operations. Also, Runway 11 and Runway 29 approach procedures will be affected when Runway 11-29 is closed to ' aircraft operations. There will be no grading or marking changes to the existing runway in the project, so no re-commissioning flight checks will be needed. ' 2. PHASING a. Phase Elements. There will be two construction phases during the project. Phase one will be construction of Wind Cone & Segmented Circle. It will be outside of the Runway ' Safety Area and will not require closure of runways. Phase two will be the construction of Guided Signs and will be in the Runway Safety Area of Runways 5-23 and 11-29. This will affect airport operations and therefore will require closures of both runways. b. Construction Safety Drawings. Please refer to Plan Sheet 2 - Project Layout and Construction Safety Plan. Notes detail approximate duration of construction, contractor's staging area, construction access & haul routes and required hazard ' lighting for closed areas. The project specifications list the lead times for required notifications to close active pavement areas. ' There is no ATCT or ARFF station on the airport. There are no active NAVAID system located on the airport. There will be no changes to the runway lighting or marking during construction. Existing runway edge lights will be out of service during the runway ' closure. Since the runway will be closed, there are no declared distances for runway operations. Augusta-Richmond County Construction Safety and Phasing Plan General Aviation Commission Authority CSPP-1 ' Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT The referenced drawings show the operational safety procedures. These are supplemented by the technical specifications and AC 150/5370-2F which are included with the project specifications. c. Dimensional Standards for the Airport are: Runway 5-23 & 11-29 Runway Design Code: B-II 1 Runway Safety Area Width (RSA): 150' Runway Object Free Area Width (ROFA): 500' Taxiway Safety Area Width (TSA): 79' Taxiway Object Free Area Width (TOFA): 131' Runway Obstacle Free Zone (ROFZ): 400' Runway Approach/Departure Surfaces: See Airport Layout Plan 3. AREAS AND OPERATIONS AFFECTED BY THE CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY. a. Identification of Affected Areas. The runway and taxiways will remain closed to aircraft throughout construction of Guided Signs. Affected areas are shown on drawing sheets. b. Mitigation of effects. Temporary lighted L-893 Runway Closure Markers will be placed over the runway numerals at each runway end. If the Runway will be re-opened daily at the end of the work period, alternative runway closure markers as approved by the Engineer, may be used in accordance. Barriers will be placed across all taxiway access points to prevent aircraft from entering the construction area. Prior to opening the closed runway, Contractor shall restore and grade all disturbed areas within the RSA. The surface of the safety area must be smoothly graded with no trenches or holes remaining. c. There are no existing ARFF routes, or routes for airline operations at the Airport. There will be no interruption of utility services like water, power and telephone. There will be no changes to the approach/departure surfaces for Runway 5-23 when the runway is open. A NOTAM will be issued by the Airport Manager for the proposed construction and any temporary runway and taxiway closure conditions. OPERATIONAL EFFECTS TABLE Project: Wind Cone & Segmented Circle, Daniel Field Airport, Augusta, GA Scope of work: Installation of Wind Cone, Segmented Circle and Guided Signs. Runways will be closed as necessary. Therefore, there will be operational effects to the runways and taxiways. Operational Requirements Normal Runway ATCT None None ARFF Index None None Special Conditions None None 4. PROTECTION OF NAVIGATIONAL AIDS (NAVAIDS) There are no navigational aids ' located on the airport.

Location of Stockpiled Construction Materials. A contractor's staging and stockpile area has been located outside of the RSA, ROFA, ROFZ, the runway approach and departure surfaces, and the FAR Part 77 surfaces. A 7460-1 determination letter will I be acquired for this site. b. Vehicle and Pedestrian Operations. Separate access route will be used for access to the construction staging area so that so that there will be no crossing of active aircraft I areas by construction or pedestrian traffic. These access routes are clear of the RSA, ROFA, ROFZ, and the runway approach and departure surfaces, and will be clearly marked and delineated by the Contractor. Pedestrians and equipment will be allowed I to cross runways only during the installation of Guided Signs. No vehicles will be allowed to cross runways at any time. (1) Construction site parking must be contained within contractor's staging area. I (2) Contractor's equipment parking must be contained within the contractor's staging area after construction operations are complete for each work day. Maximum equipment height is 15 feet. I (3) Access and haul roads are detailed on Sheet 2. (4) Marking and Lighting of Vehicles. The project specifications require that all I vehicles within the Airport Operations Area (AOA) will be marked with 36" x 36" flags (orange-and-white checkerboard) and/or flashing yellow lights in accordance with AC 150/5210-5. I (5) Vehicle Operations during lost communications and emergency conditions. Vehicle operations will not enter active aircraft areas. Therefore, vehicles and personnel shall exit construction site by designated access routes in all cases. I (6) Required Escorts. Escorts will not be required during this project. The CSPP is written so as to not require or allow vehicles or equipment to move through l active aircraft areas. (7) Training Requirements. The Engineer will conduct training for vehicle drivers to ensure compliance with the Airport's vehicle rules and regulations. Vehicle drivers I will be trained to confirm by personal observation that no aircraft is approaching their position (either in the air or on the ground) when given clearance to cross an active airport pavement (runway, taxiway, or any other area open to airport operations). However, the CSPP is written so as to not require or allow vehicles or Iequipment to move through active aircraft areas. (8) Two-Way Radio Communication Procedures. Project specifications require that I the contractor monitor the UNICOM frequency (122.8 MHz, which is also the CTAF) while in the AOA. However, the CSPP is written so as to not require or allow vehicles or equipment to move through active aircraft areas. I (9) Maintenance of the Secured Area of the Airport. There is no secured area for this Airport. There are no badging requirements. The Airport is not subject to p 9 9 49 CFR Part 1542, Airport Security. I6. WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT a. Trash. The Contractor is required to control and continuously remove waste or I loose materials that might attract wildlife, including food scraps. Augusta-Richmond County Construction Safety and Phasing Plan General Aviation Commission Authority CSPP-3 I Wind Cone and Segmented Circle WKD Project Number 20160053.00.AT b. Standing Water. Standing water is not allowed on the construction site. c. Tall Grass and Seeds.
