CHAPTER 1 – AIRFIELD CONSTRUCTION SAFETY

This manual provides general information to contractors, sub-contractors, employees, and suppliers, hereafter referred to as “Contractor”, on the requirements and procedures for accident prevention, safety, and security, at the Salt Lake City International Airport. The manual outlines procedures to be followed by contractors related to construction, repair, or services required by the Salt Lake City Department of Airports (SLCDA) and its tenants. The SLCDA’s safety and security objective is to achieve incident-free and secure construction projects.

Contractors shall conduct their operations in a manner that will provide safe working conditions for all employees, protection of the public, and all others who may be affected by construction activities. Nothing contained in this manual is intended to relieve any Contractor of the obligations assumed by the Contractor under contract with the City or as required by law.

Safety and security must be an integral part of each job. Full participation, cooperation, and support are necessary to ensure the safety, security, and health of all persons and property involved in the project.

The purpose of marking, barricading, and lighting airside construction areas is to delineate hazardous areas. These measures are meant to prevent unauthorized incursions into the construction area by personnel, vehicles, equipment, and aircraft. These measures are also in place to prevent construction personnel and vehicles from entering restricted areas and airspace of the airport.

The critical operational areas at the Salt Lake City International Airport, hereafter referred to as “the Airport,” are defined as follows:

The Airport Operations Area (AOA), for the purpose of this document, is defined as any part of the Airport utilized for aircraft operations and includes any area inside the perimeter fence (Exhibit No. 1).

The Aircraft Movement Area (AMA) is defined as runways and taxiways that are utilized for taxiing, takeoff, and landing of aircraft, exclusive of loading ramps and parking areas.

The AMA is a restricted area. All vehicle and pedestrian access is prohibited without the approval of the SLCDA and Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Air Traffic Control (ATC) (Exhibit No. 1).

The SLCDA reserves the right to review the Contractor’s safety program/record, attend construction safety meetings, and regularly inspect work sites to ensure compliance with the requirements described in this manual and the contract documents. Corrections to the job site for compliance with this manual must be completed in a timely manner or construction activities may be ceased or restricted by SLCDA.

The following sections 1 through 18 are outlined from Chapter 2, Section 1, Paragraph 204 of AC 150 5370-2F “Operational Safety on Airports During Construction” in order to resemble each project’s Construction Safety Phasing Plan (CSPP) and Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD).

Each project’s CSPP and SPCD shall be prepared to comply with the standards and requirements set out in sections 1 through 18 of this manual and AC 150/5370-2F. Requirements and procedures in this manual may be altered in a project’s CSPP and SPCD when safety and security are not compromised. Each CSPP is approved by the FAA, and therefore is an extension of the regulations and must be complied with. The SPCD is the contractor’s means for complying with the CSPP, and is approved by SLCDA.

The contractor shall have available at all times copies of the project’s CSPP and the SPCD for reference by SLCDA operations and engineering personnel, and by subcontractors and contractor employees. This manual provides general information to contractors, sub-contractors, employees, and suppliers, hereafter referred to as “Contractor”, on the requirements and procedures for accident prevention, safety, and security, at the Salt Lake City International Airport. The manual outlines procedures to be followed by contractors related to construction, repair, or services required by the Salt Lake City Department of Airports (SLCDA) and its tenants.

The SLCDA’s safety and security objective is to achieve incident-free and secure construction projects.

1. Coordination:

Refer to project specific CSPP and SPCD for details

a) Contractor Progress Meetings: Weekly construction meetings shall be scheduled in advance to discuss work progress and to address current or potential security and safety concerns.

The standing day, time, and location of the meeting shall be discussed and agreed to at the preconstruction conference. These meetings may be adjusted to a day-to-day basis as necessary for specific work items. Operational safety and security shall be a standing agenda item for discussion during these weekly/daily construction progress meetings.

b) Scope or schedule changes. Changes in the scope and/or duration of the project may necessitate revisions to the CSPP. The FAA Airports Regional or District office shall be promptly notified of any proposed changes to the project’s CSPP. Changes to an approved CSPP document require review and approval by SLCDA and the FAA prior to implementation.

In addition, coordinate proposed changes with any and all appropriate local or federal government agencies (i.e. EPA, OSHA, TSA, state environmental agencies, etc.).

c) FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO) coordination. The Contractor shall coordinate with the

Airport through airport engineering and operations early when it needs to schedule airway facility shutdowns and restarts so the airport can coordinate with FAA ATO. Refer to Section 9, “Notification of construction activities” for details notification minimums. 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 SLCDA and FAA ATO. Reimbursable agreements should be coordinated a minimum of 12 months prior to the start of construction. (See paragraph 9 “Notification of Construction Activities” (3)(b) for required FAA notification regarding FAA owned NAVAIDs.)

d) Airport Assistance Form: SLCDA has a construction “Airport Assistance Form” that shall be utilized if necessary. When the SLCDA determines that the Contractor involved in a construction project is hindering operations at the Airport and that the Contractor is not equipped or unable to rectify the problem within an established timeframe, the “Airport Assistance Form” will be implemented (Exhibit No. 3). The process for this work is as follows:

i. Airport Inspector or Airport Operations Manager (OPS 60) will initiate work.

ii. Airport Maintenance will list equipment and labor used and forward form to Engineering.

iii. Engineering will determine billing amount and action to be taken in regards to billing.

Engineering will distribute completed form to other divisions.

iv. Payment for any Airport assistance will be handled through the standard monthly Contractor invoicing.

2. 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 will be phased to gain maximum efficiency while allowing for the required operations. The development of the resulting construction phases shall be coordinated with local Air Traffic personnel and airport users. The sequenced construction phases established in the project’s CSPP are incorporated into the project design and are reflected in the contract drawings and specifications.

a) Phase elements. The project’s CSPP will detail the following applicable elements for each phase:

i. Areas closed to aircraft operations

ii. Duration of closures

iii. Taxi routes

iv. ARFF access routes

v. Construction staging areas

vi. Construction access and haul routes

vii. Impacts to NAVAIDs

viii. Lighting and marking changes

ix. Available runway length

x. Declared distances (if applicable)

xi. Required hazard marking and lighting

xii. 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) are 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.

3. Areas and Operations affected by the Construction Activity:

a) Identification of affected areas. Identifying areas and operations affected by the construction will help to determine possible safety problems. The affected areas are identified in the CSPP and the construction safety drawings for each construction phase.

These documents will identify the following areas of concern:

i. Closing, or partial closing, of runways, taxiways and aprons. SLC does not typically allow for partially closed runways in order to avoid creating unnecessary hazardous conditions.

ii. Closing of Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting access routes.

iii. Closing of access routes used by airport and airline support vehicles.

iv. Interruption of utilities, including water supplies for firefighting.

v. Approach/departure surfaces affected by heights of objects.

vi. 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:

i. Temporary changes to runway and/or taxi operations.

ii. Detours for ARFF and other airport vehicles.

iii. Maintenance of essential utilities.

iv. Temporary changes to air traffic control procedures. Such changes must be coordinated with the ATO.

4. Protection of Navigation Aids (NAVAIDs):

Before commencing construction activity, parking vehicles, or storing construction equipment and materials near a NAVAID, the contractor shall coordinate with Airport Engineering and Operations who will coordinate with the appropriate FAA ATO/Technical Operations office to evaluate the effect of construction activity and determine the required distance and direction from the NAVAID. (See Section 9.d.(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 will identify the “critical area” associated with each NAVAID and describe how it will be protected. Where applicable, the operational critical areas of NAVAIDs shall be graphically delineated on the project drawings. Particular attention shall be given 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 9.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.

5. Contractor Access:

a) Location of stockpiled construction materials. Stockpiled materials and equipment storage are not permitted within the Runway/Taxiway Safety Areas (RSA/TSA) Obstacle Free Zones (OFZ) or Runway/Taxiway Obstacle Free Areas (ROFA/TOFA) of an operational runway or taxiway. All demolished pavement materials and unclassified excavation materials shall be removed and legally disposed of off airport property and not stockpiled on airport property, unless the material is approved by the Airport for recycling and reuse. Stockpiling material shall be constrained in a manner to prevent movement resulting from either aircraft jet blast or wind conditions. Stockpile height shall not penetrate runway primary surfaces, transitional surfaces, or other active protected airspace. Refer to Section 17 for the dimensions and restrictions regarding pertinent protected airspace and surface areas at SLC. The contractor shall ensure that stockpiled materials and equipment adjacent to these areas are prominently marked and lighted during hours of restricted visibility or darkness. Refer to Sections 16 hazard lighting and marking requirements. 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 Debris / Damage (FOD).

Refer to Sections 6 and 7 below for wildlife management and FOD. Stockpiled material shall have silt fence located around the material to prevent FOD from moving onto the active airfield pavements or polluting watercourses.

b) Vehicle and pedestrian operations. 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. SLC will coordinate requirements for vehicle operations with airport tenants, contractors, and the FAA air traffic manager. All personnel operating a motor vehicle on Airport property shall have a valid driver’s license. Utah State motor vehicle laws will be observed when operating a motor vehicle on the Airport. Aircraft traffic will continue to use existing runways, aprons, and taxiways of the Airport during the time that work under a contract is being performed. The Contractor shall, at all time, conduct the work as to create no hindrance, hazard, or obstacle to aircraft using the Airport. The speed limit on all airside roadways is 20 miles per hour unless otherwise posted. The following are SLCDA’s requirements, and additional requirements and specifications can be found in the project’s CSPP and SPCD.

i. Construction site parking will be designated in advance. The CSPP and SPCD will show vehicle parking areas for contractor employees to prevent any unauthorized entry of persons or vehicles onto the AOA, and penetration of protected airspace by parked vehicles. These areas will provide reasonable contractor employee access to the job site. The project area(s) shall be bounded by the approved barricades identifying contractor personnel and vehicle area operation limits. Refer to section 16 of this document for details on approved barricades. These barricaded project limits, haul routes, contractor staging areas, and associated safety and security details are also provided graphically in attached exhibits within the project’s CSPP.

ii. Construction equipment parking. Contractor employees must park and service all construction vehicles in an area designated by the Airport outside the OFZ and never in the safety area of an active runway or taxiway. Contractor parking and equipment staging areas will be identified as the Contractor Staging Area and are graphically identified in the drawing set and the attached exhibits in the project’s CSPP. Inactive equipment shall not be parked on a closed taxiway or runway, unless a complex setup procedure makes movement of specialized equipment infeasible. If it is necessary to leave specialized equipment on a closed taxiway or runway at night, the equipment must be well lighted. Employees shall 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. SLCDA will ensure construction equipment parking locations do not effect 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 section 9 below for further information.

iii. Access and haul roads. All construction vehicles and personnel shall be restricted to the immediate work areas specified by the contract for each project. These areas include the haul routes into the work area, the designated contractor staging area and the area under construction. Use of alternate haul routes or staging areas by the contractor shall not be permitted without prior notification and approval by airport engineering and airport operations. Access or haul routes used by contractor vehicles must be clearly marked to prevent inadvertent entry to areas open to airport operations. Construction traffic must remain on the haul roads, never straying from the approved paths. Maintenance and upkeep of the haul roads are the responsibility of the contractor. Haul roads in any airport traffic areas must be especially monitored for dust and debris to prevent any potential FOD situations. A mechanical sweeper shall be used to remove FOD and contaminants from paved haul routes. Application of water on dirt or gravel haul routes must be provided as often as necessary to control dust. The contractor is responsible for any damage caused by construction traffic on the haul roads, regardless of whether in an approved or un-approved traffic area. Special attention shall be given 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 surfaces of operational runways. Following construction completion, the contractor shall grade, reseed, clean or otherwise restore the haul route areas to their original conditions prior to construction activities. Work necessary in maintaining the haul roads and compliance with safety and security requirements is considered incidental to the project, and therefore, shall not be directly paid for.

iv. Marking and lighting of vehicles in accordance with AC 150/5210-5, Painting, Marking, and Lighting of Vehicles Used on an Airport. All vehicles and equipment operating on the Airport and in the general vicinity of the safety area or in aircraft movement areas must be marked with flashing yellow/amber beacons or orange and white flags during daylight hours. In addition the vehicles and equipment will have identifying symbols at a minimum of 2-inch block-type characters of contrasting color that are easily legible. During hours of darkness or low visibility they shall be marked with at least flashing yellow/amber beacons. Beacons and flags must be maintained to standards and in good working and operational condition. Beacons must be located on the uppermost part of the vehicle structure, visible from any direction, have peak intensity within the range of 40 to 400 candelas, and flash 75 +/- 15 flashes per minute. Flags shall be 3’ by 3’ with alternating 1’ by 1’ international orange and white squares, and shall be replaced by the contractor if they become faded, discolored, or ragged as determined by SLCDA.

v. Required escorts. At no time will vehicles or personnel enter portions of the secure

AOA outside the contract area unless permitted and accompanied by an airport approved escort. All construction-related activity taking place within any active area of the AMA requires the presence of a SLCDA escort having radio communication with the FAA control tower unless prior approval is obtained from Airport Operations Manager (OPS 60). Spotters and/or flaggers having radio or telephone contact with the SLCDA may be used with the approval of the on shift Airport Operations Manager (OPS 60). Refer to paragraph “ix. Flagging operations” of this section for details.

vi. Training requirements for vehicle drivers to ensure compliance with SLCDA’s vehicle rules and regulations. All personnel who drive a vehicle or operate equipment on the AOA shall take the “Airfield Ramp Driving” computer based training before operating on the AOA, unless properly escorted. The training includes proper vehicle operations on various areas under normal, lost communications, and emergency conditions.

Contractors and their personnel will not have unescorted access to the AMA.

vii. Situational awareness. Vehicle drivers must confirm by personal observation that no aircraft is approaching their position (either in the air or on the ground) when given clearance to cross a taxiway, or any other area open to aircraft 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. Use of cell phones and personal audio devices are prohibited while driving anywhere in the AOA.

viii. Two-way radio communication procedures. All communication with the Air Traffic

Control Tower or other elements of the Airport shall be through the SLCDA engineer and/or airport operations. Operations personal or SLCDA Engineer will monitor air traffic control frequencies at all times. Contractors and their personnel do not have unescorted access to the AMA and therefore must coordinate with the project engineer for an escort to access the AMA. At no time shall active taxiways or runways be crossed by construction equipment without notification and proper approval/clearance from SLC Operations and air traffic control.

All flaggers, spotters and observers controlling equipment crossing active aircraft operating areas are required to have a fully operational cellular telephone or SLCDA approved radio to contact the Airport Operations Manager (OPS 60) to report any problems that may affect aircraft operations. (If available, an Airport radio may be issued to the Contractor for a $2,000 deposit, refundable if the radio is returned in same condition). Flaggers, spotters, and observers shall be familiar with radio call signs, channels and phone numbers. All observers, spotters, and flaggers will immediately contact the Airport Operations Manager (OPS 60) if any equipment or vehicle becomes disabled or is unable to yield to aircraft for any reason.

ix. Flagging operations across taxiways/taxilanes/ramps. If approved by the Airport Operations Manager (OPS 60), vehicle and pedestrian crossings of active taxiways and high-use or congested ramp areas may be permitted if the following provisions are met:

The Airport Operations Manager (OPS 60) is notified before any activity begins and when the activity ends every day.

Airport Operations has coordinated the activity with Air Traffic Control and has advised the Engineer and Contractor when to begin crossings.

An Airport Operations representative is available to contact Air Traffic Control if there are any problems.

All involved personnel understand that all equipment and pedestrians must yield to all aircraft. Aircraft always have the right of way.

When flagging operations are established to cross active taxiways, a UDOT certified flagger is required on each side of the taxiway.

The crossing shall be kept clean at all times using a power sweeper, power broom, and/or hand sweeping.

Airport Operations reserves the right to cancel any crossing operation for airport operational need, or contractor’s non-compliance.

c) Maintenance of the secured area of the Airport: Salt Lake City International is subject to 49 CFR Part 1542, Airport Security, and must meet standards for access control, movement of ground vehicles, and identification of construction contractor and tenant personnel. The Contractor and its personnel shall be aware of the increased security, and familiar with the security policies of the Airport.

i. Fencing and gates. The Airport and the Contractors must also maintain a high level of security during construction when access points are created in the security fencing to permit construction vehicle access. Temporary gates shall be equipped and/or manned by construction personnel to prevent unauthorized access by vehicles, animals or people. Procedures conforming to SLC security protocols shall be in place to ensure that only authorized persons and vehicles have access to the AOA and to prohibit “piggybacking” behind another person or vehicle. Access shall be made available at all times to all airport emergency vehicles traveling to operations areas within the proximity of the construction work zone. 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.

ii. Badging and other security requirements can be found in the “Security

Requirements” Chapter of this manual.

6. Wildlife Management:

The CSPP and SPCD must be in accordance with the SLCDA’s wildlife hazard management plan. See also AC 150/5200-33, Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or Near Airports, and FAA Cert Alert 98-05, Grasses Attractive to Hazardous Wildlife. 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 and trash must be disposed of and contained in a manner that will not attract wildlife.

b) Standing water. The contractor must ensure that the construction site remains free of standing water. Water shall not be allowed to collect and pool for more than any single 24-hour period.

c) Tall grass and seeds. Grass inside the construction site shall be maintained by the contractor at a height that will not attract wildlife. Requirements for turf establishment can be at odds with requirements for wildlife control because grass seed is attractive to birds. Therefore, an approved seed mix specified in the construction documents shall be the only mixture allowed.

d) Poorly maintained fencing and gates. Wildlife exclusion shall be considered while maintaining fencing and gates for the AOA. Maintenance of gates and fencing is addressed in section 5.

e) Disruption of existing wildlife habitat. The Contractor shall notify the Airport through the engineering representative or operations as soon as practical if the Contractor recognizes a disruption of a wildlife habitat or increase in wildlife. Small mammals create a hazard to aircraft by attracting birds of prey, and should be considered a reportable hazard.

7. Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Management:

Special care and measures shall be taken to prevent Foreign Object Debris / Damage (FOD) when working in an airport environment. The Contractor shall be held responsible for implementing an approved FOD Management Plan that will be incorporated into the SPCD.

The FOD Management Plan will have procedures for prevention, regular cleanup, and containment of construction material and debris.

a) FOD prevention aims to stop objects from becoming FOD. This is a proactive approach to eliminating FOD before it becomes a hazard. Some measures for FOD prevention include: a tool control program, FOD identification incorporated into pre-operational and post-operational inspections of equipment, and FOD recognition incorporated into Point of Entry (POE) inspections. The Contractor will ensure all vehicles related to the construction project using paved surfaces in the AOA shall be free of any debris that could create a FOD hazard.

b) Regular cleanup ensures that FOD is picked up before it causes damage or injury. Special attention will be given to the cleaning of cracks and pavement joints. All taxiways, aprons, and runways must remain clean. Contractors will provide their own equipment for vehicle and equipment washing and clean up. The SLCDA wash facility will be used by Airport personnel only unless specific permission from the Airfield Maintenance Supervisor has been granted. Immediate access to a vacuum-sweeper is required when construction occurs on any pavement area inside the AOA, unless an appropriate alternative has been approved by the Airport Operations Manager (OPS 60) and Engineer.

c) FOD containment ensures waste and materials do not become FOD in wind and jet blast, or attract wildlife. Waste containers with attached lids shall be required on construction sites.

Waste container lids must have a securing mechanism or be made of a material that will not allow the lid to be blown open in high winds. Special attention shall be given to securing lightweight construction material (concrete insulating blankets, tarps, insulation, etc.).

Specific securing procedures and/or chain-link enclosures may be required.

8. 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 fuel, hydraulic fluid, or other chemical fluid leaks. Transport and handling of other hazardous materials on an airport also requires special procedures. The contractor is required to develop and implement spill prevention and response procedures for vehicle operations. The contractor shall incorporate these procedures into the SPCD. This includes maintenance of appropriate MSDS data and appropriate prevention and response equipment onsite. The Contractor shall notify the Airport immediately when a spill occurs.

9. Notification of Construction Activities:

The following information and procedures are for immediate notification of airport users and the FAA of any conditions adversely affecting the operational safety of the Airport.

a) SLC representatives / points of contact: The contractor’s primary communication link to the appropriate airport personnel is the airport engineer associated with the project. Time critical information that could pose an immediate hazard to aircraft shall be communicated directly to the Airport Operations Manager (Ops 60). Emergencies on the Airport should be reported through the airport emergency phone number (801-575-2911) for the most rapid emergency response.

Airport Emergencies (24hrs/day, 7days/week) 801-575-2911

Airport Operations Manager (Ops 60) (24hrs/day, 7days/week) 801-575-2460

Airport Operations Control Center (24hrs/day, 7days/week) 801-575-2401

Airport Engineering 801-575-2900

Airport Badging 801-575-2423

Airport Security Requirements 801-575-2373

b) Notices to Airmen (NOTAM). Only the Airport may initiate or cancel NOTAMs on airport conditions, and is the only entity that can close and open a runway or taxiway. SLCDA shall 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 shall provide information on closed or hazardous conditions on airport movement areas to the FAA Flight Service Station (FSS) so it can issue a NOTAM. Only the FAA may issue or cancel NOTAMs on shutdown or irregular operation of FAA owned facilities. Therefore, airport engineering and airport operations shall be notified early when construction will require a closure on the AOA, a hazardous condition, or a shutdown or irregular operation of any ILS. Any person having reason to believe that a NOTAM is missing, incomplete, or inaccurate must notify SLCDA airport operations.

i. The contractor shall provide written request for all closures of taxiways or runways 72 hours in advance of the closure. This request shall include the times requested and the contractor’s proposed detailed schedule of operations within the area.

ii. The contractor shall notify the engineer 72 hours in advance of using any equipment that may penetrate the runway primary surface or associated surfaces (14 CFR Part 77).

c) Emergency notification procedures: The contractor shall contact the airport engineering representative associated with the construction project in most situations. However, when emergency medical, firefighting, and police response situations exist, the contractor shall use the airport emergency number 801-575-2911. This number will ensure the most rapid emergency response.

Integrated Public Alert and Warning System (IPAWS) is an internet-based capability that federal, state, local, tribal, and territorial authorities can use to issue critical public alerts and warnings. This system will notify airport employees of an emergency in progress. In the event of an aircraft emergency, severe weather conditions, or any issue as determined by SLCDA that may affect aircraft operations, the contractor’s personnel and/or equipment may be required to immediately vacate the area(s) affected. Points of contact for the various parties involved with the project shall be identified and shared at the pre-construction meeting among the various parties. Specific emergency notification procedures shall be incorporated into the project’s SPCD.

d) Coordination with ARFF Personnel. The CSPP will detail procedures for coordinating through airport engineering and operations with ARFF personnel, mutual aid providers, and other emergency services if construction requires the deactivation and subsequent reactivation of water lines or fire hydrants; the rerouting, blocking and restoration of emergency access routes; or the use of hazardous materials on the airfield. Construction areas can also create hazards to ARFF response when an incident occurs within the construction site. To the extent possible hazards shall be marked, and ARFF/Emergency Response personnel shall familiarize themselves with the construction site and associated hazards.

e) Notification to the FAA.

i. 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. Further guidance is available on the FAA web site at oeaaa.faa.gov.

ii. Part 157. With some exceptions, Title 14 CFR Part 157, Notice of Construction, Alteration, Activation, and Deactivation of Airports, requires that SLCDA 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.

iii. NAVAIDS. For emergency (short-notice) notification about impacts to both airport owned and FAA owned NAVAIDs, contact Airport Operations Manager (OPS 60) 801- 575-2460.

If construction operations require a shutdown of a NAVAID for more than 24 hours or more than 4 hours daily on consecutive days, the Contractor shall provide a 50-day minimum notice to the Airport prior to facility shutdown. SLCDA 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.

SLCDA will coordinate work for a NAVAID shutdown with the local FAA ATO/Technical Operations office, including any necessary reimbursable agreements and flight checks. The Contractor shall provide procedures in the project SPCD that will address utility outages and cable cuts that could impact NAVAIDs. (See section 11 for underground utilities)

10. Inspection Requirements:

a) Daily (or more frequent) 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 the project CSPP and Advisory Circular 150/5370-2F. In addition to the contractor’s required inspections, airport operations will inspect the construction site three

(3) times a day to ensure compliance with the CSPP and SPCD.

b) Final inspections. Areas that have been closed for construction must have a final inspection from airport engineering and/or airport operations prior to being opened. Airport operations shall inspect runways, taxiways, safety areas, or areas where aircraft operate prior to that area being opened to aircraft. Discrepancies to Part 139 requirements discovered during the inspection shall be corrected prior to the area being opened.

c) FAA certification inspections. New runways and extended runway closures may require safety inspections at SLC prior to allowing air carrier service. The Airport will coordinate with the FAA Airport Certification Safety Inspector (ACSI) to determine if a certification inspection will be necessary.

11. Underground Utilities:

Special attention shall be given to preventing unscheduled interruption of utility services and facilities. Where required, due to construction purposes, the FAA shall locate all of their underground cables. The contractor shall locate and/or arrange for the location of all the underground cables in a manner that will comply with Utah Code – Title 54 – Public Utilities.

When an underground cable is damaged due to the contractor’s negligence the contractor shall immediately repair the cable affected at the Contractor’s own expense. Full coordination between airport staff, field inspectors, and construction personnel will be exercised to ensure that all airport power and control cables are fully protected prior to any excavation. Locations of cabling will be marked, and the markings shall remain visible prior to beginning excavation.

Most, but not all, existing underground utilities are shown in their approximate location on the project’s drawings. The contractor shall notify all utility owners, including SLCDA and FAA, 48 hours prior to any excavation that might affect these utilities. If the markings locating the underground lines no longer identify the location of the facilities due to fading caused by time, weather, construction or other reasons, the facilities shall be re-marked prior to excavation. Power-operated or power-driven excavating or boring equipment shall not be allowed within 24 inches horizontally of a marked utility until the utility is located with hand tools. Again, if damage to existing utilities is caused as a result of the contractor’s operations, the utilities shall be immediately repaired to the owner’s satisfaction at the expense of the contractor.

No work shall be done in the vicinity of any electrical cables, communication cables, or duct banks prior to the cables being located by the appropriate organizations. All electrical, communication, and FAA cables shall be “pot-holed” by hand to verify location and depth prior to excavation. The contractor shall obtain FAA approval for all work near known FAA cables prior to excavation.

12. Penalties:

The following are penalty provisions for noncompliance with airport rules and regulations and the safety plans (for example, if a vehicle is involved in a runway incursion). Penalties for security violations are addressed in the “Security Requirements” chapter of this manual.

Safety and operational precautions are necessary at the Airport. Failure of the Contractor to adhere to prescribed requirements may have consequences that jeopardize the health, safety or lives of customers and employees at the Airport. Therefore, when the Contractor is found to be in violation of safety, operational, or any other procedure in this manual, the Contractor may be issued a misdemeanor citation.

The Operations Division has the option to issue warnings on the first offense based upon the circumstances of the incident. Individuals involved in noncompliance violations may be required to surrender their Airport ID badges pending investigation of the matter. Penalties for violations related to SLCDA procedures include the following:

i. Warning citation, Airport ID badge confiscation, retraining, and a letter from the employer stating what actions have been taken to prevent the incident from happening again

ii. Project shutdown and/or removal of personnel involved from the AOA.

iii. Class B misdemeanor citation – Salt Lake City Ordinance Title 16

13. Special Conditions:

The CSPP will 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).

a) In the event of an aircraft emergency, severe weather conditions, or any issue as determined by SLCDA that may affect aircraft operations, the Contractor’s personnel and/or equipment may be required to immediately vacate the area. The contractor will receive notification from airport operations and/or airport engineering when special conditions require the construction site to be vacated. In any event, extreme care should be exercised should construction personnel identify any ARFF (Airport Rescue and Fire-Fighting) vehicle moving toward the Runway with emergency lights displayed. This will generally mean that an emergency situation is imminent. Reference Section 9.

14. Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids:

Areas where aircraft will be operating shall be clearly and visibly separated from construction areas, including closed runways. Throughout the duration of the construction project, the contractor shall verify that these areas remain clearly marked and visible at all times and that marking, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDs remain in place, in good condition, and operational.

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, jet blast, wing vortices, or other wind currents, and frangible or 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 Airport Markings. All existing pavement markings requiring removal shall be obliterated by sandblasting, water blasting, or black paint at the direction of the SLCDA. Blacked out markings are temporary, and are not approved at project completion. All permanent pavement markings shall be restored at project completion, and temporary markings shall be obliterated by water blasting or sandblasting.

i. Temporarily Closed Runways. For extended runway closures, markings that lead onto closed runways shall be obliterated or blacked out accordingly to prevent pilot confusion. If a runway/taxiway intersection is to remain open for runway crossings, then markings for the runway crossing shall remain.

ii. Partially Closed Runways and Displaced Thresholds. When threshold markings 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.

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 unsuitable for takeoff or landing (see AC 150/5340-1).

Displaced Thresholds. Pavement markings for a displaced threshold consist of a runway 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.

iii. 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 blackout the marking with black paint. This will result in less damage to the pavement when the upper layer of paint is ultimately removed.

iv. Temporarily Closed Airport. When the Airport is closed temporarily, mark all the runways as closed.

c) Lighting and Visual NAVAIDs. This paragraph refers to standard runway and taxiway lighting systems. See section 16 for hazard lighting.
