CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.1

SECTION 010001

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN

This document supplements the Plans and Specifications and other Contract Documents prepared for the USDA Forest Service - Colorado Springs Airtanker Base Project. This document aids in identifying all aspects of the construction project that pose a potential safety hazard to airport operations and outlines respective mitigation procedures for each hazard. It provides all information necessary for the Airport Operations department to conduct airfield inspections and expeditiously identify and correct unsafe conditions during construction. The requirements outlined in this Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) are developed from Advisory Circular 150/5370-2G.

1. Coordination

Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD): Prior to the Pre-Construction meeting, the Contractor will be required to submit a SPCD, as required by the Contract Documents, to the airport operator, describing how they will comply with the requirements in the CSPP and supply any details that could not be determined before contract award. The SPCD outline is attached in Appendix A.

Notice: The Contractor shall provide a minimum of 48 hours’ notice to the Contracting Officer of his desire to perform construction within each area and shall begin operations within these areas only upon receipt of authorization from the Contracting Officer.

Closures: Once work is commenced, Contractor shall steadily and diligently work on the project to ensure completion within specified contract time, or Liquidated Damages will be applied as described in this document.

Prior to beginning construction operations in any areas, all barricades and "temporary" closed markings shall be installed as shown in the Plans or designated by the Contracting Officer.

Airport Operations During Construction: It is the intention of the Owner to complete construction of the improvements within a minimum time period. The Owner will notify the necessary agencies as to the closure of affected operations at the Airport. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer 48 hours in advance of any requested closure, so that the required Notice to Airmen (NOTAM's) can be arranged.

a. Contractor Progress Meetings

The Contractor and all affected parties will be required to meet a minimum of once per week during each week the Contractor is working on site, prior to any closure phasing change, and as necessary to discuss safety operations and changes in phase elements.

These meetings will help assure all construction personnel know of any applicable airport procedures and of any changes to those procedures that may affect their work.

b. Scope or Schedule Changes

Prior to any scope or schedule changes a safety meeting will be held, as necessary, with the Contractor and all affected parties to discuss any safety phase changes or other changes that may affect their work. Any scope or schedule changes that necessitate revisions to the CSPP will require review and approval by the airport operator and the FAA.

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.2

c. FAA ATO Coordination

FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO) will be notified of all conditions that may adversely affect the operational safety of the airport via Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) and other methods, as appropriate. There are no anticipated improvements that will require a reimbursable agreement or flight inspection as part of this project.

2. Phasing

Plan: The construction phasing plan only includes one phase. The area of construction for this project has no adverse impacts to mitigate due to construction within aeronautical operational surfaces. Strict adherence to the provisions of the construction operations phasing plan by all personnel assigned to or visiting the construction site is mandatory for all construction projects.

In the event Contractor activities are not in conformance with the provisions of the construction operations plan, the Contractor shall immediately cease those operations violating provisions of the construction operations plan and conduct a safety meeting. The construction operations plan is open to input at safety meetings, but the Contracting Officer and ATO have the final determination of safe operations. The Contracting Officer may direct the Contractor, in writing, to immediately cease those operations involved in the violation of the provisions of this Construction Safety and Phasing Plan. The Contractor shall not resume construction operations until an appropriate action is taken as determined by the Resident Contracting Officer.

Although aircraft emergencies are quite rare, should one occur during the project, it is expected that lifesaving measures will take precedence over the convenience and expense of the Contractor.

On-going operations shall be kept neat and cleaning shall be continuous, so any required clean-up for use by an aircraft in distress will be minimal. Any costs for Contractor delays or inconvenience will be considered incidental costs of the project with no additional compensation by the Owner.

No unauthorized entry of persons or vehicles onto the AOA will be permitted. All construction vehicles will be parked and serviced in the designated staging area(s), with no inactive equipment being parked within the OFA of a closed taxiway or runway. If it is necessary to leave specialized equipment within the OFA of a closed taxiway or runway at night, this will be coordinated with the ATO/ATC and the equipment shall be well lighted. NO WORK WHATSOEVER IS ANTICIPATED WITHIN ANY OFAs FOR THIS PROJECT.

Pedestrian operations will be permitted in work zones as necessary to complete the required work but will not be permitted as cross-airport transit.

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.4

1) Access and Haul Routes

Haul Routes and Maintenance: Any haul routes and staging areas for any Contractor's equipment will be designated prior to any work being done. Only these routes and staging areas shall be used, and unauthorized travel by haul vehicles will be prohibited.

Contractor employees involved in driving any vehicles outside the temporary construction fence but within the airport fence during the project must receive training from the Colorado Springs Airport Operations Staff. All contractor employees entering the airport well be briefed on airport safety.

Runway Crossings. The Contractors will not be permitted to have his operations cross active runways or taxiways unless approved in writing by the Contracting Officer. Any work in a runway or taxiway OFA will begin only after it is closed – both by NOTAM and “X” closure markings at the runway ends or low-level barricades at the designated points.

2) Marking and Lighting of Vehicles

All vehicles shall be lighted and/or marked in accordance with AC 150/5210-5D. All construction and support vehicles shall have standard white and orange-checkered flags or amber strobes mounted on these vehicles to be readily visible during daylight operations.

Any night-time work will require vehicles to have amber strobe lights.

3) Two-Way Radio Communication Procedures

The airport operator (Contracting Officer) and at least one member of the construction crew will monitor the airport radio frequency, (Ground Control 121.7 MHz (preferred) or Tower

119.9 MHz) during construction activities and provide direction to crews and aircraft as necessary to avoid conflicts. The personnel will observe the proper procedures for communications on the UNICOM frequency, including read back requirements, and proper phraseology.

Contractor employees involved in radio communications during the project must receive radio communications training from the Colorado Springs Airport Operations Staff.

6. Wildlife Management

a. Trash

All trash, including food scraps, will be collected and deposited in an enclosed trash bin(s) to prevent wildlife attraction.

b. Standing Water

Large areas of standing water that may attract wildlife will not be permitted on the airport property, unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer.

c. Tall Grass and Seeds

Reclamation, including seeding and fertilizing, of any significantly disturbed areas will

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.5

occur after construction is completed. All seed will comply with the guidance in AC 150/5370-10, Standards for Specifying Construction of Airport, Item T-901, Seeding.

Broadcast seeding will not be permitted, to aid in preventing an avian attractant.

d. Poorly Maintained Fencing and Gates

All fencing and gates will be maintained during construction unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer and approved by the FAA. As necessary / required, temporary gates and fencing will be installed. All gates will be left closed and locked when not in use to help assure no unauthorized use occurs.

e. Disruption of Existing Wildlife Habitat

If any wildlife is observed by any Contractor’s personnel, they shall immediately contact the Contracting Officer and appropriate actions will be taken. Typical avian and rodent sighting may not be reported, but any sighting that are deemed to be abnormal or of increased numbers shall also be reported.

The Contractor shall take no action as part of their operations that attract or habituate wildlife to the airport property. Best practices shall be followed to remove food sources (trash, food scraps, loose seed, etc.), attractants (standing water, etc.), and/or breaks in perimeter fencing (maintain fences/gates, provide temporary fence/gates, vigilantly close gates, etc.).

7. Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Management

Waste and Loose Material: Waste and loose material capable of causing damage to aircraft landing gears or propellers shall not be placed on active aircraft movement areas. Material tracked on these areas shall be removed continuously during all phases of the project.

8. Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Management

Any hazardous materials spillage from construction vehicles (gasoline, diesel fuel, oil, etc.) will require immediate action in accordance with State and Federal regulations. The vehicle shall be immediately repaired or removed from the project.

9. Notification of Construction Activities

a. Maintenance of a List of Responsible Representatives / Points of Contact

A list of responsible representatives and points of contact is included in Appendix B. This list will be provided to the FAA, Contractor, Subcontractors, ATO, and affected parties.

Before award of the construction bid, the successful bidder will be required to complete this list of all responsible personnel for the Prime Contractor and all Subcontractors.

b. Notices to Airmen (NOTAM)

The Contractor shall contact the Contracting Officer with all closure requests a minimum of 48-hours in advance of their proposed action. The Contracting Officer will coordinate

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.6

the issuance, maintenance, and cancellations of all Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) with the Owner / airport operator.

c. Emergency Notification Procedures

The emergency notification contacts for medical, firefighting, and police response are included in the Appendix B emergency contact sheet.

d. Coordination of Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) Personnel

Colorado Springs Airport does provide ARFF services. Care should be taken not to hinder access or movement of the fire-fighting equipment. Notification of construction activities to ARFF personnel will occur through the Contracting Officer and Airport Administration personnel.

e. Notification to the FAA

The Contracting Officer will keep the FAA ADO up-to-date on construction activities through weekly progress reports if requested and other periodic contacts.

Coordination of FAA Owned NAVAID’s will be with the NAS Planning & Integration Team. Emergency contact shall be 1-866-432-2622 (FAA Air Traffic Organization - Operations Control Center). A minimum of 45-days’ notice will be provided for the necessary shut-down period of these facilities. Updates will be provided, as necessary, regarding the construction scheduling and actual closure dates.

No impacts to FAA Owned NAVAID’s are anticipated.

10. Inspection Requirements

a. Daily Inspections

The Contracting Officer and Contractor will conduct twice daily inspections, and more frequently as needed, to ensure construction personnel comply with the CSPP and SPCD and that there are no altered construction activities that could create potential safety hazards. The checklist included in Appendix C will be used, at a minimum, to aid in verifying conformance.

b. Final Inspections

A final inspection will be held prior to reopening of any air operations area (AOA). The FAA will be invited to attend all final inspections conducted, including the FAA Airport Certification Safety Inspector (ACSI).

11. Underground Utilities

In any location the Contractor breaks ground to a depth of 1’ or more as part of the project, they will be responsible for checking with the owners of underground utilities regarding the location of

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.7

their underground lines. The Contractor will be required to fully coordinate his work with the agencies and to keep them informed of his construction activities so that these vital installations are always fully protected. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for any damage done to these installations due to failure to locate or to properly protect them when their location is known.

12. Penalties

In the event contractor activities are not in conformance with the provisions of the CSPP, the Contractor shall immediately cease those operations involved in the violation of the provisions of the CSPP and conduct a safety meeting. The Contracting Officer or Owner may direct the Contractor, in writing, to immediately cease those operations involved in the violation of the provisions of the CSPP. The Contractor shall not resume construction operations until an appropriate action is taken as determined by the Contracting Officer. Penalties will be as determined by the Contracting Officer and may include such items as rescission of driving privileges, installation of additional closure marking / signing, and / or denial of access to the

AOA.

13. Special Conditions

Not applicable to this project.

14. Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids.

a. General

The construction area will be clearly and visibly separated from the areas where aircraft will be operating by closure markings, as shown on the Construction Phasing Plan drawings included in the Construction Plans.

b. Markings

All marking will be in compliance with the standards of AC 150/5340-1, Standards for Airport Markings. All “temporarily” closed taxiways and aprons will have barricades (candles, cones, and /or low-level barricades) placed at all access points (outside of the connecting taxiway / runway object free areas). See also the Construction Phasing Plan drawings in the Construction Plans.

c. Lighting and Visual NAVAID’s

Temporary taxiway closure barricades remaining in place for overnight will be lighted with red flashing lights. Runways or taxiways remaining closed during nighttime or any low-visibility conditions will have their lighting systems shutdown and locked out during all closure periods, including runway lights, and associated approach lighting.

d. Signs

At any time a sign does not serve its normal function; it will be covered to prevent misdirecting pilots. Information signs will not be covered, as they will still serve their intended purpose.

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.8

15. Marking and Signs for Access Routes

Since the staging area (outside the airport fence) is adjacent to the access point, no marking or signing is needed. If the contractor chooses to secure access to a water sources within the airport security fence, the contractor shall coordinate with the Airport regarding protocol, marking or signing of that activity.

16. Hazard Marking and Lighting

Hazard marking and lighting prevents pilots from entering areas closed to aircraft and prevents construction personnel from entering areas open to aircraft. The spacing of barricades must be such that a breach is physically prevented, barring a deliberate act. If temporary taxiway closure barricades remain in place overnight, they will be lighted with red flashing lights, spaced no more than 4-feet apart. Runways or taxiways remaining closed during nighttime or any low-visibility conditions will have their lighting systems shutdown and locked out during all closure periods.

Hazard marking and lighting will also be placed to aid in identifying any open manholes, small areas under repair, stockpiled material, waste areas, and areas subject to jet blast, where applicable.

The Contractor will be required 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 and Contracting Officer. Lighting will be checked for proper operation at least once per day.

17. Work Zone Lighting for Nighttime Construction

Not anticipated for this project. If the Contractor proposes any night time operations, coordination with the Airport Management and ATC will be required and the lighting / signage requirements established at that time. Additional lighting and signage agreed upon for the convenience of the Contract will be at the Contractor’s expense and cannot interfere with aircraft operations.

18. Protection

a. Runway Safety Area (RSA)

No construction will occur within a runway safety area while the runway is open for aircraft operations. Neither open trenches nor excavations will be permitted within the RSA while the runway is open. Any disturbances of the runway shoulders due to construction must be returned to standard conditions prior to returning the construction zone to airport

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.9

operations.

No operations are anticipated within any RSA’s for this project.

b. Runway Object Free Area (ROFA)

Minimum Parking Distance: When not in use, equipment and materials will be parked or located a minimum of 800 feet from all runway centerlines or in the areas designated in the Plans.

Minimum Evacuation Distance: The Contractor will evacuate all equipment and men from the vicinity of the applicable runway a minimum distance of 800 feet from the runway centerline during landing and takeoff of aircraft.

Open Excavation and Barricades: Open trenches or excavations exceeding 3 inches in depth and 3 inches in width or stockpiled materials will not be permitted within 250 feet of centerline of any active runway. Coverings for open trenches or excavations shall be of sufficient strength to support the weight of the heaviest aircraft operating on the runway or taxiway. Lightweight barricades and/or flagging shall be used to identify the limits of construction near open trenches or excavations. The Contractor shall also light any open trenches or excavations with red lights during hours of restricted visibility or darkness.

No operations are anticipated within any ROFA’s for this project.

c. Taxiway Safety Area (TSA)

No construction will occur within a taxiway safety area while the taxiway is open for aircraft operations. Neither open trenches nor excavations will be permitted within the TSA while the taxiway is open.

No operations are anticipated within any TSA’s for this project.

d. Taxiway Object Free Area (TOFA)

Because wingtips regularly penetrate the taxiway object free area during normal operations, no construction will occur within a taxiway object free area while the taxiway is open for aircraft operations. Neither open trenches nor excavations will be permitted within the TOFA while the taxiway is open.

Minimum Parking Distance: When not in use, equipment and materials will be parked or located a minimum of 200 feet from taxiway centerlines or in the areas designated in the Plans.

No operations are anticipated within any TOFA’s for this project.

e. Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ)

Personnel, material, and / or equipment will not be permitted to penetrate the OFZ while the runway is open for aircraft operations.

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.10

f. Runway Approach / Departure Surfaces

All personnel, materials, and / or equipment will be required to clear the applicable threshold siting surfaces, in accordance with the approved Airport Layout Plan (ALP).

Construction in the runway approach / departure areas will be completed only when the runway is closed.

No work is anticipated in the Approach or Departure Surface areas for Runway 35R.

19. Other Limitations on Construction

a. Prohibitions

1) No use of tall equipment (cranes, concrete pumps, etc.) will be permitted unless a

7460-1 determination letter is issued for such equipment.

2) No use of open flame welding or torches will be permitted unless fire safety precautions are provided.

3) No use of electrical blasting caps on or within 1,000-feet of the airport property will be permitted.

4) No use of flare pots within the AOA will be permitted.

b. Restrictions No one shall enter the airport property without having received proper “badging” from the Airport Authority unless the person is escorted by a Contractor’s “badged” supervisor who maintains continual visual contact. The Gate Guard may also allow entry.

The Contractor is responsible for completing the badging process and associated costs for “badging” of their supervisors and subcontractor supervisors when necessary.

20. Liquidated Damages

Subject to the provisions of the Contract Documents, the Contractor will be assessed liquidated damages, upon failure to complete the work in the time specified. The liquidated damages shall include compensation to the Owner for non-use and unscheduled employment of the Contracting Officer or their representatives.

A. If the Contractor fails to complete the work within the time specified in the contract, the

Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the Government in the amount of $842 for each calendar day of delay until the work is completed or accepted.

B. If the Government terminates the Contractor's right to proceed, liquidated damages will continue to accrue until the work is completed. These liquidated damages are in addition to excess costs of repurchase under the Termination clause. (FAR 52.211-12).

No charge will be made during any time extensions granted.

Construction Project Daily Safety Inspection Checklist

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.19

Construction Project Daily Safety Inspection Checklist

The situations identified below are potentially hazardous conditions that may occur during airport construction projects. Safety area encroachments, unauthorized and improper ground vehicle operations, and unmarked or uncovered holes and trenches near aircraft operating surfaces pose the most prevalent threats to airport operational safety during airport construction projects. The list below is one tool that the airport operator or Contractor may use to aid in identifying and correcting potentially hazardous conditions.

Potentially Hazardous Conditions Item Action Required Or None

Excavation adjacent to runways, taxiways, and aprons improperly backfilled. □ Mounds of earth, construction materials, temporary structures, and other obstacles near any open runway, taxiway, or taxi lane; in the related Object Free area and aircraft approach or departure areas/zones; or obstructing any sign or marking.

Runway resurfacing projects resulting in lips exceeding 3 in (7.6 cm) from pavement edges and ends.

Heavy equipment (stationary or mobile) operating or idle near AOA, in runway approaches and departures areas, or in OFZ.

Equipment or material near NAVAIDs that may degrade or impair radiated signals and/or the monitoring of navigation and visual aids.

Unauthorized or improper vehicle operations in localizer or glide slope critical areas, resulting in electronic interference and/or facility shutdown.

Tall and especially relatively low visibility units (that is, equipment with slim profiles) — cranes, drills, and similar objects — located in critical areas, such as OFZ and approach zones.

Improperly positioned or malfunctioning lights or unlighted airport hazards, such as holes or excavations, on any apron, open taxiway, or open taxi lane or in a related safety, approach, or departure area.

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.20

Obstacles, loose pavement, trash, and other debris on or near AOA. Construction debris (gravel, sand, mud, paving materials) on airport pavements may result in aircraft propeller, turbine engine, or tire damage. Also, loose materials may blow about, potentially causing personal injury or equipment damage.

Inappropriate or poorly maintained fencing during construction intended to deter human and animal intrusions into the AOA. Fencing and other markings that are inadequate to separate construction areas from open AOA create aviation hazards.

Improper or inadequate marking or lighting of runways (especially thresholds that have been displaced or runways that have been closed) and taxiways that could cause pilot confusion and provide a potential for a runway incursion.

Inadequate or improper methods of marking, barricading, and lighting of temporarily closed portions of AOA create aviation hazards.

Wildlife attractants — such as trash (food scraps not collected from construction personnel activity), grass seeds, tall grass, or standing water — on or near airports.

Obliterated or faded temporary markings on active operational areas. □ Misleading or malfunctioning obstruction lights.

Unlighted or unmarked obstructions in the approach to any open runway pose aviation hazards.

Failure to issue, update, or cancel NOTAMs about airport or runway closures or other construction related airport conditions.

Failure to mark and identify utilities or power cables.

Damage to utilities and power cables during construction activity can result in the loss of runway / taxiway lighting; loss of navigation, visual, or approach aids; disruption of weather reporting services; and/or loss of communications.

Restrictions on ARFF access from fire stations to the runway / taxiway system or airport buildings. □

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLAN 010001.21

Lack of radio communications with construction vehicles in airport movement areas. □ Objects, regardless of whether they are marked or flagged, or activities anywhere on or near an airport that could be distracting, confusing, or alarming to pilots during aircraft operations.

Water, snow, dirt, debris, or other contaminants that temporarily obscure or derogate the visibility of runway/taxiway marking, lighting, and pavement edges. Any condition or factor that obscures or diminishes the visibility of areas under construction.

Spillage from vehicles (gasoline, diesel fuel, oil) on active pavement areas, such as runways, taxiways, aprons, and airport roadways.

Failure to maintain drainage system integrity during construction (for example, no temporary drainage provided when working on a drainage system).

Failure to provide for proper electrical lockout and tagging procedures. At larger airports with multiple maintenance shifts/workers, construction contractors should make provisions for coordinating work on circuits.

Failure to control dust. Consider limiting the amount of area from which the contractor is allowed to strip turf.

Exposed wiring that creates an electrocution or fire ignition hazard. Identify and secure wiring, and place it in conduit or bury it.

Site burning, which can cause possible obscuration. □ Construction work taking place outside of designated work areas and out of phase. □
