Summary of FAA Specification No. 2896 - IAH ASDE Reflectors

This is a Federal Aviation Administration specification document for site work optimization at Houston International Airport (IAH) in Texas, prepared by the Infrastructure Support Center in Kansas City in August 2024. The specification covers earthwork, site improvements, and crushed aggregate surfacing for six ASDE (Airport Surface Detection Equipment) reflector locations at the airport. The contractor must furnish all labor, materials, equipment, and services to complete the project, including coordination with local FAA personnel and airport management through the Contracting Officer Representative (COR).

The primary work tasks include: staking out reflector locations; locating underground utilities using ground-penetrating radar; excavating and removing 4 inches of surface soil in 60-foot by 60-foot square areas centered on each reflector; installing landscape fabric with specified physical properties (minimum 120 lbs grab tensile strength, 50% elongation, and other ASTM-defined characteristics); and placing and compacting 4-inch depth crushed aggregate base course to 95% maximum density per AASHTO-T99 standards. Specific reflector locations are provided with GPS coordinates. The crushed aggregate must meet state gradation specifications with certified sieve analysis. All excavations must be completed same-day and drained properly. Compaction must be verified through qualitative testing using penetrometers. Work within Runway Safety Areas requires minimum 45-day advance coordination and runway shutdown. The contractor must submit progress schedules, attend pre-construction conferences, and participate in Contractor's Acceptance Inspection coordinated with FAA Joint Acceptance Inspection. Testing of power cables for continuity and insulation integrity is required after installation. All work must comply with FAA Advisory Circulars AC 150/5300-13, AC 150/5370-10H, and OSHA regulations.

9. Contractor shall participate in Contractor’s Acceptance Inspection (CAI), and quickly address any punch list items. CAI must be conducted in conjunction with Joint Acceptance Inspection (JAI) with the local FAA personnel.

b. Runway Shutdown Coordination. Any work that will be conducted inside the Runway Safety Area (RSA) will require a runway shutdown and shall be coordinated well in advance through the FAA. The contractor shall stay clear of the RSA unless a runway shutdown has been requested. Runway shutdown must be coordinated a minimum of 45 days before construction start.

c. Schedule. After the award of the contract and prior to starting work, the contractor must submit to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) a satisfactory progress schedule which must show the proposed sequence of work and the number of working days set up in the contract.

The contractor must confer with the COR at regular intervals. regarding the prosecution of the work according to the progress schedule.

A working day is defined as follows: Monday through Friday, length of a workday is no less than 8 hours and no more than 10 hours. No work will be performed on federal holidays or FAA moratoriums.

The COR will determine which days are workable. Work schedule and times will be determined during preconstruction meeting.

A partial working day of one-half will be charged under the following conditions:

1. When weather conditions do not permit the completion of a full day’s work.

2. When job conditions due to recent weather do not permit full efficiency of the men or equipment.

3. A shortage of help which is beyond the contractor’s control prevents reasonable progress.

4. When any condition over which the contractor has no control prevents completing a full day’s production.

No working day will be charged under the following:

1. When adverse weather prevents work.

2. When job conditions due to recent weather prevent work.

3. When work has been suspended by an act or an omission of the FAA.

4. When any condition over which the contractor has no control causes suspension of work.

1A.2 GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED Material (GFM). No Government-furnished Material is provided under this contract.

1A.3 CONTRACTOR-FURNISHED MATERIAL. The Contractor shall furnish all material under this contract.

1A.4 SUBMITTALS AND BRAND NAME USAGE.

a. Introduction. Each product required for use in the Specifications must meet the actual minimum needs of the Government as demonstrated in the salient characteristics for that product. If a brand name product is used in the Specifications, it should be regarded as a "known acceptable source" (i.e., a product that meets the actual minimum needs, and demonstrates the appropriate salient characteristics). The product used can be identical or equal to the brand name product or known acceptable source in meeting the salient characteristics, but it need not exceed the actual minimum requirements. Any brand name product or known acceptable source mentioned will, however, not be required for use in order to comply with the Specification unless those documents make it clear that the brand name product is required, and substitution is prohibited. The following submittal procedure shall be followed in order to:

1. Insure adherence to functional and quality standards in substitution of Contractor-furnished material.

2. Provide manufacturers catalog sheets for all material to be furnished and installed by the contractor.

b. Definition. A submittal is a collection of information required by Specifications, or by the Contracting Officer, presenting detailed information on:

1. Material or equipment items the Contractor proposes to use.

2. Methods or plans of action which the Contractor intends to employ in specific situations.

c. Requirements. All products that a Contractor wishes to use must be approved before use by the Project Engineer or the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). To gain approval, the Contractor must submit documents and/or samples that demonstrate the product clearly meets the Government's minimum needs and demonstrates appropriate salient characteristics. All submittals must be in writing. The Contracting Officer shall have the right to require submittals from the Contractor where the Contractor makes an unsolicited change proposal. The information presented in a submittal shall be sufficient to demonstrate that all Specification requirements for the subject material, equipment, methods, or plans are met by the Contractor's proposal. The informational materials may include documents such sketches, calculations, data sheets, written plans of action, manufacturers' catalog cuts, brochures, and/or specification sheets.

d. Submittal Review. When submitting before the Notice to Proceed date, the Contractor shall send the submittal package(s) directly to the Contracting Officer. When submitting after Contract work has begun, the Contractor shall give submittal packages to the COR, who will forward them promptly to the Contracting Officer or Project Engineer. The Contracting Officer may personally evaluate the submittal, or request Project Engineer to evaluate it. In either case, the submittal will return directly from the Contracting Officer to the Contractor, with the Contracting Officer's approval, approval with comments, or disapproval.

e. Submittal Time Frame. To provide adequate time for document transmission and submittal review, the FAA reserves the right to take two weeks to complete a review, transmission date to transmission date. Terminal navigational aid contracts are brief contracts. The review process can therefore span a substantial portion of the contract period. For this reason:

1. The Contractor is urged to initiate submittals as soon as feasible after contract award, and to expedite document transmission. At a minimum, submittals must be made no later than 45 days before construction start.

2. The Project Engineer and other reviewers (if any) will expedite reviews and document transmission insofar as feasible.

f. Procurement Before Approval. The Contractor is advised not to procure any item for which submittal approval is required but not yet granted. If approval is denied, the Contractor will be prevented from installing the disapproved item(s). The Contractor must transmit a new submittal package for the new items replacing the disapproved items and must procure only approved items. The Contractor shall take responsibility for the delivery and installation of any items installed before submittal approval is granted. The FAA reserves the right to discontinue field work on any item furnished without submittal approval.

1A.5 PRE-CONSTRUCTION CONFERENCE. The Contractor shall attend a pre- construction conference when required by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall abide by all agreements reached at the conference regarding safety practices, ingress and egress routes to the site, maintenance.

1A.6 COORDINATION. All coordination between the Contractor and the airport management and local FAA personnel, shall be accomplished through the COR.

1A.7 COMPLIANCE WITH LOCAL AND OTHER CODES. The Contractor shall comply with standards (e.g., AC No: 150/5300-13, AC No: 150/5370-10H)) adopted by the Contract documents, and with local and other codes. Where the requirements of the Specifications exceed those of the adopted and local codes, the Contractor shall comply with the requirements of the Specifications.

1A.8 SANITARY FACILITIES. Sanitary facilities are not available at the work sites. The Contractor shall provide temporary toilet facilities for their employees as required by OSHA regulations.

The locations of the toilet facilities shall be where directed by COR.

2. The material to be compacted shall be within ±2% of optimum moisture content before being rolled to obtain the prescribed compaction, follow the methods in ASTM D698 and ASTM D1557 procedures in AASHTO T180 Annex for correction of maximum dry density and optimum moisture for oversized particles. (Per AC 150/5370-10)

3. Use motor-operated soil tamper (stomper) in confined areas, including trenches, on each layer of fill until no further visible consolidation is evident.

4. Use a heavy blunt tamping rod on each layer of fill in the most constricted locations where power equipment cannot be used.

c. Moisture Control.

1. Where soil material must be moisture-conditioned before compaction, uniformly apply water to a layer of soil material in such quantity that free water will not appear on the surface during or subsequent to compaction operations.

2. Scarify soil material that is too wet to compaction to specified density.

d. Qualitative Testing and Inspection Procedures.

1. General. The Contractor shall perform qualitative soil compaction testing and inspection procedures for each type of backfill or fill material used wherever directed by, and in the presence of, the COR. Special attention shall be given to the backfilling of structures and trenches.

2. Qualitative Testing.

i. Qualitative soil testing will consist of comparing the resistance to penetration of undisturbed soil to that of compacted backfill of the same composition. For borrow material the penetration comparison shall be made between maximum test sample density and in-place fill density.

ii. A soil penetration device (penetrometer) indicating depth and force exerted shall be utilized. Compaction will be adequate if backfill or fill possesses at least 95% of the resistance to penetration of undisturbed soil or test le, respectively.

2. A certified sieve analysis, referenced to State Specification gradation, shall be submitted to the

COR for approval.

2B.4 CONSTRUCTION.

a. General Requirements. All earthwork requirements in Section 2A for areas to receive surfacing are applicable, excepting as qualified herein. Where the additional work or more stringent requirements in this section conflict with Section 2A, requirements herein shall prevail.

b. Surface Preparation.

1. All topsoil shall be removed from areas to Landscape fabric.

2. Compaction. Compact as required in Section 2A.

3. Grading. Shape with motor grader to achieve such surface trueness that when tested with a 10-foot straightedge, no deviation greater than 1/2-inch shall exist.

4. Corrective Work. Any ruts or soft-yielding spots that may appear in the subgrade, any areas having inadequate compaction, and deviations of the surface from the requirements specified shall be corrected by loosening, removing, and adding approved material and reshaping and recompacting the affected areas to line and grade, and to the specified density.

c. Landscape Fabric.

1. General. Landscape fabric shall be installed on prepared subgrade for all areas around the deflectors.

2. Construction Requirements.

i. Prepared subgrade and foundations shall be compacted smooth, and level as specified elsewhere as follows:

ii. The fabric shall be rolled out directly upon the prepared surface and shall not be dragged over any surface. Fabric in place shall have a smooth surface and shall be free of folds, wrinkles, cuts, or other imperfections. Individual panels of fabric shall be overlapped at least 12 inches, with the preceding layer overlapping the following layer in the direction that surfacing material will be spread. No vehicular traffic will be permitted directly upon the fabric.

d. Crushed Aggregate Surfaced Areas

1. Spreading. Crushed aggregate surfaced areas shall be constructed in one or more layers of minimum 4- inches compacted thickness each. The aggregate shall be back dumped on the fabric, and machine spread in the direction of overlap. Dumping in windrows, which requires excessive rehandling, will not be permitted. When deposited, the aggregate shall be free from segregation, and shall require minimum blading or manipulation.

2. Compaction and Grading.

i. Each layer of aggregate shall be compacted using equipment required in the State Specifications.

For compacting aggregate on landscape fabric, use a smooth-drum roller. Compaction shall closely follow the spreading operation to prevent loss of contained moisture or displacement of materials.

ii. When the surface stability of the crushed aggregate cannot be obtained due to lack of fines, additional fines shall be added to the upper portion of the course in an amount sufficient to secure stability, at no additional cost to the Government. In no case, however, shall the quantity of fines added, increase the percent passing the Number 200 sieve by more than 15% in the upper portion.

iii. Any irregularities or depressions that develop in the layers under rolling operations shall be corrected by loosening the material and removing or adding aggregate and rerolling. The rolling shall be continued until the surface is shown to be smooth and uniform, and to such trueness that when tested with a 10-foot straightedge it shall not show any deviation in excess of 1/4-inch. At all places not accessible to the roller, the aggregate of each layer shall be tamped separately and compacted to grade and line with mechanical tampers.

iv. If any subgrade material is worked into the aggregate material during the compacting or finishing operations, all granular material within the affected areas shall be removed and replaced with new aggregate. The COR may restrict hauling or traffic over the completed or partially completed base after inclement weather or at any time when the subgrade is soft, and there is a tendency for the subgrade material to work into the base material.

v. If considered necessary by the COR, water shall be applied to each layer to aid in compaction and prevent segregation of the material. Disc or harrow surfacing material during moistening operations to secure uniform moisture distribution. Add water in a manner that will not soften the subgrade. All work associated with the additional water shall be accomplished at no additional cost to the Government.

vi. The aggregate shall be compacted to 95% maximum density as determined by AASHTO-T99.

Compaction shall continue until no further discernible compaction is evidenced under action of the compaction equipment.
