Purpose

The Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) establishes the project requirements to enhance safety during construction. The requirements outlined in this CSPP are developed from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5370-2G Operational Safety on Airports During Construction, which is included for reference as Appendix A.

The Contractor is required to submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) to prior to issuance of the Notice to Proceed. The SPCD must describe how the Contractor will comply with the requirements of this CSPP. The SPCD must also include a certification statement by the Contractor that indicates understanding of the operational requirements of the CSPP and assertion that it will not deviate from the approved CSPP and SPCD unless written approval is granted by the Airport. Specific requirements of the SPCD are found in FAA AC 150/5370-2G.

This CSPP provides guidance for the actions of on-site construction, inspection, consulting, and Airport personnel and equipment. Full-participation, cooperation, and support of all parties are necessary to prevent accidents and ensure the health and safety of all personnel and property involved in the project; however, the contents of this safety plan are, in no way, intended to relieve any Sub-Contractor or supplier of the obligations agreed to by the Contractor under their contract with the FAA, or as required by Federal and State law and those having local jurisdiction. In the event the Contractor’s activities are found to be in non-conformance with the provisions of this CSPP, the Airport may direct the Contractor to take appropriate action or cease those operations involved in the violation of the provisions of the CSPP and conduct a safety meeting.

Definitions

1. Airport Operations Area (AOA) – Any area of an airport used or intended to be used for the landing, takeoff, or surface maneuvering of aircraft. An air operations area includes such paved and unpaved areas that are intended to be used for the unobstructed movement of aircraft in addition to its associated runways, taxiways, taxilanes, or aprons.

2. Foreign Object Damage and/or Debris (FOD) – Foreign items found on runways, taxiways, taxilanes, and apron areas that could cause damage to an aircraft, be ingested by an aircraft engine, or become air born and cause injury.

3. Movement Area – The area of the airport that is under control of the Aircraft Control Tower such as the runways, taxiways, taxilanes, and other areas of an airport that are used for taxiing or hover taxiing, air taxiing, takeoff, and landing of an aircraft, exclusive of loading ramps and aircraft parking areas.

4. Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) – A notice to the flying public (airmen) through FAA’s NOTAM system, normally initiated by message to the nearest FAA Flight Service Station (FSS).

Issuance of the NOTAM for this project will be coordinated by Airport Operations.

5. Object Free Area (OFA) – An area on the ground centered on the runway, taxiway, or taxilane centerline provided to enhance safety of aircraft operations by having the area free of objects except for those objects that need to be located in the OFA for air navigation or aircraft ground maneuvering purposes (see AC 150/5300-13B, Change 1, Airport Design, for additional guidance).

6. Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ) – A design standard involving imaginary surfaces near a runway.

Included are the runway OFZ, inner-transitional surface OFZ, and inner-approach OFZ. The OFZ is a three-dimensional volume of airspace that supports the transition of ground to airborne aircraft operations (and vice-versa). The OFZ clearing standard precludes penetrations by taxiing and parked airplanes and other objects, except for frangible visual navigational aids (NAVAID’s) that need to be located in the OFZ because of their function (refer to AC 150/5300-13B, Change 1 for guidance on OFZs).

7. Obstruction – A structure, natural growth, vehicle, or construction material that penetrates any imaginary surface defined by Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77, including primary, transitional, approach, horizontal, and conical surfaces.

8. Runway Safety Area (RSA) – A defined surface surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot, overshoot, or excursion from the runway, in accordance with AC 150/5300-13 B, Change 1, Airport Design,.

9. Secure Area – The area of the airport within the perimeter fencing, passenger sterile area, and secured facility exits separating landside and airside operations.

10. Taxiway/Taxilane Safety Area (TSA) – A defined surface alongside the taxiway/taxilane prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to an airplane unintentionally departing the taxiway/taxilane, in accordance with AC 150/5300-13 B, Change 1, Airport Design,.

11. Taxiway/Taxilane Object Free Area (TOFA) – An area on the ground centered on the taxiway, or taxilane centerline provided to enhance safety of aircraft operations by having the area free of objects except for those objects that need to be located in the OFA for air navigation or aircraft ground maneuvering purposes (see AC 150/5300-13 B, Change 1, Airport Design, for additional guidance).

1.0 Coordination

Operational safety is a primary consideration during airport construction and is of the upmost importance. Coordination of project information to all individuals involved with the project is essential for ensuring safe operations are maintained at all times. In order to minimize potential for incidents during construction, it is imperative that all individuals involved with the project and/or airport users be kept informed of any and all changes to operations. Discussions of operational safety will need to take place throughout the entire life of the project, including design, bidding, preconstruction, and construction. Meetings between the Resident Project Representative (RPR), FAA, Houma-Terrebonne Airport, Contractor and Sub-Contractors and airport users will be required to discuss specific project related impacts to operations. Houma-Terrebonne Airport is ultimately responsible for the safety at the airport. Notice to users of operational changes due to construction will be issued via NOTAMS by Airport Operations. No closures will be permitted without the pertinent NOTAM in place for each specific closure. Emergency access for off-airport (Police, Fire, and EMT) based emergency service shall be maintained at all times. Routing for such traffic shall be determined and made known to all supervisory personnel involved in the construction project. Coordination of this access will be proposed by the Contractor and approved by the RPR and the Airport Operations Manager. All activities shall be planned and scheduled to minimize disruption of normal aircraft operations.

A pre-construction meeting (conference) will be held after the project has been awarded and prior to the Contractor beginning work or staging major construction material and/or equipment on-site.

Airport Staff, the Contractor’s on-site supervisory staff, Contractor representatives from the other construction projects that coincide with this project and representatives from the RPR shall be present. Safety and this document will be a significant topic on the agenda. Operational safety during construction will be main topic of discussion at the pre-construction meeting.

A. Contractor Progress Meetings

Operational safety will be a standing agenda item for discussion during each conference and meeting conducted both before and during the project. Any and all concerns on the subject of airport operational safety during construction will be addressed at the pre-bid and pre-construction conferences. The construction phasing plans will also be continually reviewed at weekly construction safety meetings, and have input from stakeholder users during the course of the project (at a minimum this will include an Airport representative, RPR, FAA Representative, and Contractor superintendent). The Contractor must coordinate their work to maintain compliance with AC 150/5370-2G. Potential hazardous conditions, which may occur during construction, are described in subsequent sections of this CSPP.

Contractor personnel, Airport staff, and RPRs directly involved with the project will be aware of the types of conditions, safety problems, and/or hazards identified each day at the airport. To ensure all personnel are compliant, meetings between management and supervisory personnel and their employees will be held prior to any significant change in the daily work routine or area affected by each phase or sub-phase. The meetings will be held to ensure the Contractor, their Sub-Contractors, and all personnel working within the AOA are aware of the haul routes to be used, working hours for the construction phase, and applicable mandatory safety policies. At a minimum, this requires that all project personnel adopt the following responsibilities:

1. Inspect all work and/or storage areas daily for which they are responsible to be aware of current conditions.

2. Promptly take all steps necessary to remedy any unsafe or potentially unsafe conditions discovered. Coordinate with the RPR to ensure immediate corrective action is undertaken.

3. Before commencement of construction activities, Airport Operations, through coordination with the Contractor superintendent and the RPR, will give notice of construction on the airport to the FAA using the NOTAM system. All NOTAM’s will be cancelled upon the completion of construction.

4. Barricades, signage, and gate guards/flaggers are required as shown on the drawings. Traffic control devices will be used to clearly separate all construction from other parts of the AOA, and to identify isolated hazards, such as open manholes, excavations, areas under repair, stockpiled material, etc.

5. Check in with gate guard at established and approved access points, abide by all vehicle traffic requirements set forth in the CSPP, and comply with all vehicle safety standards set forth in AC 150/5370-2G.

B. Scope or Schedule Changes

In the case of a scope or schedule change, the Contractor shall notify the RPR and Airport Operations immediately. All parties involved will need to evaluate the impact(s) of the change and will determine what measures will need to be taken to maintain a safe construction site.

Changes in the scope or duration of the project may necessitate revisions to the CSPP which will review and approval by the Airport and the FAA.

C. FAA ATCT Coordination

The FAA ATCT will need to be notified immediately of any changes that affect aircraft movement within the airport which include airway facility shutdowns and restarts. Airport Operations staff will be responsible for coordinating any changes, including NOTAMS, to the FAA ATCT. The existing Runway 18 MALSR will be decommissioned and replaced as part of this project. During runway closures the Runway 18 ILS will be shut off by the FAA to prevent erroneous landings in IFV conditions.

D. Schedule Coordination

No taxiways or runways shall be closed for this project other than those shown on the Phasing Plan Taxiway. The Contractor shall provide updates to the construction schedule at each construction progress meeting to update the anticpated closure periods in the event of a change.

E. Concurrent Project Coordination

The Airport intends to accomplish general maintenance work during the course of this project throughout the airfield.

2.0 Phasing

In order to minimize disruptions to airport and terminal operations during construction, construction will be broken up into phases or sub-phases to limit the amount of aircraft operational areas affected at any given time and to establish access routes and work limitations per phase / sub-phase. Maintaining access between the North Ramp and the airfield is a critical component of this Phasing Plan. The phasing plan proposed was developed in conjunction with the airport staff and other stakeholders and is considered to be the most effective way of maintaining the required aircraft access, while imposing the least amount of impact on Contractor operations, and without sacrificing safety. The phasing for this project is depicted in the Phasing Drawings which are included in Appendix B. The Contractor will be required to stay within the limits established and only access those areas along the routes identified for each construction phase. All entry points and active airfield pavement crossing locations will be manned with gate guards and flaggers as shown on the drawings.

Table 1 defines the safety area and object free area widths for the operational areas in the vicinity of the project.

Source: FAA AC 150/5300-13 B, Change 1

Notes:

1. All distances are centered on the centerline of the applicable feature. At turns this dimension is increased to maintain a uniform distance from the edge of the pavement as shown on the plans.

2. No work shall occur within safety or object free areas for any of these facilities unless the facility is closed or otherwise restricted as shown on the phasing plans.

The Contractor shall notify the RPR who will in turn notify Airport Operations prior to commencing with construction within the critical areas listed above. No work, unless shown otherwise, shall commence within any critical area without requiring closure of the affected taxiway, taxilane, or ramp area. No runway closures are expected with this project.

The Contractor shall complete all of the following prior to commencing construction operations on each phase of work:

1. Place low-profile barricades, construction signage, and other safety features as shown on the contract drawings or as directed by the RPR. All safety features shall be installed and maintained by the Contractor with the RPR overseeing and approving the installation.

2. Station flaggers and gate guards as shown on the drawings.

This project will be completed in two (2) separate phases, which are further divided into sub-phases to minimize the impacts on the operation of the airfield and maximize the area and time available to the contractor. See the Phasing Drawings provided in Appendix B.

The impacts to the airfield due to each construction phase and sub-phases as well as the durations of the impacts are provided in Table 2.

B. Construction Safety Drawings

Drawings specifically indicating operational safety procedures and methods in each of the project phases or sub-phases are included as Appendix B.

3.0 Areas and Operations Affected by

Construction Activity

A. Identification of Affected Areas

Runways, taxiways, and taxilanes will remain in use by aircraft to the maximum extent possible during construction without compromising safety. The areas affected by construction are listed in Table 2. Barricades and runway closure devices will be used where shown on the drawings. The Contractor shall make provisions for and coordinate with Airport Operations, through the RPR, for haul routes during all phases of construction.

B. Mitigation of Effects

The affects described above will be mitigated through the project phasing. These measures are defined on the drawings and described above. While Taxiways A and B (north of Taxiway C) are closed the entrance into the north apron will be via Taxiways D and F, with a short taxi on the closed Runway 18-36 between the two taxiways. Alternative access to the apron is via Taxiway F off the northern end of Runway 12-30. This alternative access will require back taxi operations on Runway 12-30 When Taxiway J is closed the only route into and out of the terminal area will be via Taxilane C1.

4.0 Navigation Aid (NAVAID) Protection

Special consideration must be made for construction activities, materials/equipment storage, and vehicle parking near electronic NAVAID’s because they may interfere with signals essential to air navigation and/or limit access to the equipment and instruments for maintenance. Strict adherence to the haul routes, stockpile locations, and access points shown on the drawings is required. This will be discussed between the RPR, Airport Operations, and the Contractor before commencing construction activities in each phase of work. Though not anticipated, any change that causes vehicles, equipment, or storage in the vicinity of a NAVAID will require prior coordination with the FAA to evaluate the effect of construction activity and the required distance and direction from the NAVAID.

The Contractor will coordinate with the RPR for work affecting NAVAID’s. The RPR will in turn coordinate with the FAA, through Airfield Operations, for powering down of NAVAID’s. This coordination shall be completed a minimum of 7 days prior to any shutdown.

5.0 Contractor Access

The Contractor staging areas located within the AOA perimeter fence are shown on the drawings.

The Contractor shall locate their construction site trailer in one location for the duration of the project. The RPR’s construction trailer shall be setup by the Contractor adjacent to the Contractor’s trailer. Access to the project site will only be through the gates identified on the plans. Each gate shall be manned by a gate guard at all times for access by any Contractor, Sub- Contractor or material supplier staff not badged.

A. Location of Stockpiled Construction Materials

Stockpiled and stored materials or equipment are not permitted within the runway or taxiway object free areas, runway obstacle free zone, or airspace surfaces of an operational runway or taxiway/taxilane. Any materials and/or equipment adjacent to these areas will be visibly marked and lighted during hours of restricted visibility or darkness.

Construction material stockpiling and equipment storage shall take place at locations shown on the plans or as approved by the RPR. All waste and excess material generated from the project shall be hauled off site unless specifically identified otherwise in the Contract Documents.

B. Vehicle and Pedestrian Operations

Construction vehicles and personnel are restricted to the immediate areas shown for each phase or sub-phase specified for this project. At no time will vehicles or personnel enter portions of the secure AOA outside the construction limits, unless permitted or escorted by authorized personnel.

The drawings provide defined routes to prevent unauthorized entry to the AOA and improper movement of pedestrians and vehicles on the airport.

1. Parking of Contractor construction equipment will be at the staging areas and as approved by the RPR. Access to the construction areas for each phase or sub-phase will only be through defined access gates and on defined haul routes. Personnel Vehicles will not be permitted within the AOA.

2. The Contractor is required to maintain all haul routes for the duration of the construction project. The haul routes shall be clearly defined and no deviation shall be allowed. Hauling activity across active runways, taxiways, taxilanes, or aprons is strictly prohibited unless indicated on the drawings or by prior written approval of the RPR. In the event that any foreign object, spillage, debris, or dust builds up as a result of hauling operations, the Contractor shall be required to immediately clean and remove the material. The Contractor shall obtain written approval from the RPR prior to establishing new haul roads within the airport property. Once established, the haul roads shall be utilized for all equipment, and the equipment shall not be allowed to stray or wander away from the established routes. The haul roads are the responsibility of the Contractor and they shall be maintained and kept in good order at all times. Haul roads across any active taxilane, or apron pavement shall be kept clean and in good order at all times. The Contractor shall repair any damage caused by the movement of equipment on any of the haul roads. Any damage to the utilities or facilities shall be immediately repaired at the Contractor’s expense. The Contractor is also responsible for dust control on all haul routes during the project. Airport Operations and the RPR have authority to stop any and all construction operations if dust interferes with aircraft operations and require the Contractor to mitigate the cause immediately.

3. During daylight hours, all authorized construction vehicles and equipment will be marked with a flashing yellow (amber) beacon or an orange and white checkered flag (3’ X 3’ or larger, with each check being 1’ square) in accordance with AC 150/5210-5 (current edition) Painting, Marking, and Lighting of Vehicles. No other color lights will be permitted at any time. During nighttime hours, all authorized construction vehicles and equipment will be marked with a flashing yellow (amber) beacon airport in accordance with AC 150/5210-5 (current edition).

No other color lights will be permitted at any time. Vehicles and equipment not meeting these requirements will not be allowed access to the construction site. All vehicles are required to have company identification conspicuously displayed on the vehicle. Only vehicles covered by the Contractor’s insurance shall be allowed on the airport property.

4. The Contractor’s superintendent will be responsible for all personnel on-site at any given time, including all suppliers and Sub-Contractors. As such, the Contractor’s superintendent must be on-site at all times during working hours and material deliveries. Only the Contractor’s superintendent and gate guards will be allowed to open airfield access gates for approved construction personnel.

5. AIrport Operations staff shall handle all communications with the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT). Airport operations shall be notified of any unusual occurrences in the flight pattern of approaching or departing aircraft by all concerned so that operation of the airport and the construction work can be safely carried on at all times. If Contractor chooses to use radio communication between his employees, these radios must utilize a frequency approved by Airport Operations through the RPR prior to mobilization.

6. During the course of the construction operations, the Contractor will be allowed to utilize the airport access security gate(s) shown for the specific phase of work being performed. All entries and exits through the gate shall be controlled during construction hours. The gate may be opened only for authorized vehicle traffic flow. Gate guards shall monitor vehicles entering the site and supply either construction flags during the day or operational beacons at night if the vehicle is not equipped. No vehicle will be granted access to the site without the appropriate flag or a beacon. The Contractor’s employees and their Sub-Contractors’ employees privately owned vehicles shall be parked off airport property. Passengers in any vehicle onsite shall be the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor shall be held duly responsible to uphold the above security stipulations at all times during the progress of the construction project. No deviations from these security measures shall be allowed at any time.

7. Training Requirements of Vehicle Drivers - To ensure compliance with the airport rules and regulations, all drivers for the Contractors must attend and pass the Airports driving class and test. This training is required for all personnel that plan on operating a vehicle in the AOA.

8. 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 runway, taxiway, or any other area open to airport operations. In addition, it is the responsibility of the escort vehicle driver to verify movement/position of all escorted vehicles at any given time.

9. Gate Guards - All gate guards must understand airfield safety rules and regulations. The Contractor will be required to train all gate guards on airfield policies and the content of this CSPP. Truck drivers will be given location maps with haul route clearly labeled to avoid confusion.

10. Maintenance of the Secured Area of the Airport - 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. In addition, all Contractor supervisory staff and all other staff who need gate access and/or escorting will need to be badged. Since the Airport is subject to 49 CFR Part 1542, Airport Security, even during construction, the Airport must meet standards for access control, movement of ground vehicles, and identification of construction Contractor and tenant personnel.

11. Construction Site Safety - All personnel working on the construction site, including gate guards, shall have personal protective equipment on at all times. This includes but is not limited to vests, hard hats, hearing protection, eye protection, and radios.

6.0 Wildlife Management

All wildlife management within the Airport Operations Area (AOA) shall be accomplished in conformance to FAA AC 150/5200-33, Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or Near Airports, and CertAlert 98-05, Grasses Attractive to Hazardous Wildlife. In general, the Contractor must carefully control and continuously remove waste, trash, food scraps or other loose material and standing water that might attract wildlife. All waste shall be stored in a covered container, in which the cover cannot become dislodged by wind or wildlife. The Contractor shall take necessary efforts to keep the site neat and free of wildlife attractants. The Contractor must at all times maintain the integrity of the existing security perimeter fence and any damage caused by the

Contractor must be repaired by the Contractor immediately. In the event of wildlife impedance on the airfield, the Contractor must notify the RPR immediately.

7.0 Foreign Object Debris (FOD)

Trash, rocks, dirt, debris or other materials with potential to cause damage to aircraft landing gear, propellers, and jet engines is known as foreign object debris (FOD). As such, the Contractor will not leave or place FOD on or near active aircraft movement areas. Materials tracked onto these areas must be continuously removed during the construction project and prior to opening any pavement surfaces. Specification section A-101 describes the requirements for FOD Control.

Various equipment, including a vacuum sweeper, will be used to clean the affected pavement surfaces to ensure all material and FOD is removed from the work site. The sweeping truck shall have poly non-steel bristles, and at least one operational vacuum truck shall be available on the project 24 hours/day, 7 days/week unless otherwise approved in writing by the RPR. All debris must also be continually removed during the construction project on all roadways (public or private) used to access the project site.

The Contractor will control dust from their operations to a level acceptable to the Airport at all times. The Contractor shall have an operational vacuum sweeper, watering trucks, and other necessary equipment available. All methods for controlling dust and debris will be subject to the approval of the RPR. Dust and debris control will be strictly monitored due to its impact on aircraft and public safety. Failure to properly control dust and debris, or to respond to any requests to do so, will result in suspension of construction activities. No additional contract time will be provided due to work suspensions due to non-adherence to the FOD/ dust regulations. Dust shall be controlled 24 hours/day, 7 days/week throughout the entire project to the satisfaction of the RPR and/or Airport Operations.

8.0 Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Management

The Contractor is responsible for mitigation, removal, and expeditious clean-up of any hydraulic spills, fuel spills, or other hazardous materials that occur on the airfield as a result of construction operations or by use of construction equipment.

No additional contract time will be provided if work is stopped due to these violations.

13.0 Special Conditions

Construction activities will be performed adjacent to active aircraft areas. The Contractor personnel and equipment must always give precedent to moving aircraft. Incursions and other activities in nonconformance with the safety regulations may require suspension of construction operations.

14.0 Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids

Temporary measures required for construction are included in the drawings. Throughout the duration of the construction project, the Contractor must maintain all temporary measures to provide a clear delineation separating the areas where aircraft will be operating. As shown on the drawings the centerline markings leading into areas that are closed for more than two days are removed or relocated. There are no anticipated impacts to runway or taxiway lighting or signage as part of this project.

15.0 Marking and Signs for Access Routes

Where indicated on the plans temporary signs for vehicle access routes should be in conformance the Federal Highway Administration Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD), and/or applicable Louisiana Department of Transportation (LADOT) specifications. No signs will be placed within the object free area of an active runway, taxiway, or taxilane. No temporary markings are anticipated as part of this project for the Contractor’s access/ haul route.

16.0 Hazard Marking, Lighting, and Signing

Proposed construction areas will be completely closed to aircraft traffic through the use of barricades and signage as shown on the drawings. Other methods of delineation that are deemed necessary during the course of construction by the RPR shall be performed and maintained by the Contractor as needed. The Contractor shall be required to have a representative on call 24 hours a day for emergency maintenance of barricades.

17.0 Work Zone Lighting for Nighttime

Construction

Lighting equipment must adequately illuminate the phase or sub-phase area if the construction is to be performed during nighttime hours. Additionally, all support equipment, except haul trucks, must be equipped with artificial illumination to safely illuminate the area immediately surrounding the equipment. The lights shall be positioned to provide the most natural color illumination and contrast with a minimum of shadows. Light towers shall be positioned and adjusted to aim away from the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) cabs and active runways to prevent blinding effects.

Shielding may be required as determined by the RPR to minimize the impacts of the lights on the ATCT and landing aircraft. Light towers shall be removed from the construction site and stored in the staging yard when not in use.

18.0 Protection of Runway and Taxiway Safety

Areas

Procedures have been established for protecting all safety areas including those altered by construction. Methods of demarcation, limit of access, movement within safety areas, stockpiling and trenching, storage of equipment, and equipment height restrictions as discussed in this CSPP are applicable to protecting the runway and taxiway/taxilane safety areas, obstacle free zones, object free areas, and airspace surfaces. In general, all construction related activities must be in strict conformance with FAA AC 150/5370-2G.

The Contractor must prominently mark open trenches and excavations at the construction site with barricades. Where there are open trenches in the taxilane safety area, aircraft are restricted to tug operations. Additionally, the taxilanes will be closed to all aircraft traffic while the Contractor is working within the taxilane safety area.

Soil erosion must be mitigated so that the graded surface never contains potentially hazardous ruts, humps, depressions, or other surface variations. The surface must also be capable of supporting snow removal equipment, aircraft rescue equipment, and aircraft themselves without causing structural damage to the vehicle.

Affected areas shall be cleared of construction debris and any objects such as trash, rocks, mud, or dust which could present a FOD or visibility concern. Opening or re-opening a runway, taxiway, taxilane, or apron following construction is subject to approval pending a visual inspection of the paved surfaces by the Airport Operations.

19.0 Other Limitations on Construction

A. Prohibitions

The Contractor shall provide an equipment plan for the project duration. This plan will indicate the location and height of all construction equipment in order to determine the impact on FAR Part 77 Airport imaginary surfaces. The maximum allowable height of construction equipment on or near airports is governed by FAA AC 150/5370-2G and FAR Part 77 imaginary airfield surfaces. When equipment is expected to penetrate the FAR Part 77 surfaces (for any runway in operation) or when cranes will be used on site, the Contractor will notify the Airport at least 50 days prior to the start of construction to coordinate the submittal of FAA Form 7460-1 to the FAA Regional Office.

Permission to use cranes will be issued by the Airport after approval by the FAA.

Blasting is not permitted on this project.

B. Restrictions

Once the different areas of work within each phase of the project are established, the Contractor shall have free access and movement within the areas. Travel to and from the area shall be within the defined haul routes for each phase or sub-phase. There are no construction restrictions on night or seasonal work.

Advisory Circular

Subject: Operational Safety on

Airports During Construction

Date: 12/13/2017

Initiated By: AAS-100

AC No: 150/5370-2G

Change:

Purpose. 1

This AC sets forth guidelines for operational safety on airports during construction.

Cancellation. 2

This AC cancels AC 150/5370-2F, Operational Safety on Airports during Construction, dated September 29, 2011.

Application. 3

This AC assists airport operators in complying with Title 14 Code of Federal

Regulations (CFR) Part 139, Certification of Airports. For those certificated airports, this AC provides one way, but not the only way, of meeting those requirements. The use of this AC is mandatory for those airport construction projects receiving funds under the

Airport Improvement Program (AIP). See Grant Assurance No. 34, Policies, Standards, and Specifications. While we do not require non-certificated airports without grant agreements or airports using Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program funds for construction projects to adhere to these guidelines, we recommend that they do so to help these airports maintain operational safety during construction.

Related Documents. 4

ACs and Orders referenced in the text of this AC do not include a revision letter, as they refer to the latest version. Appendix A contains a list of reading material on airport construction, design, and potential safety hazards during construction, as well as instructions for obtaining these documents.

Principal Changes. 5

The AC incorporates the following principal changes:

1. Notification about impacts to both airport owned and FAA-owned NAVAIDs was added. See paragraph 2.13.5.3, NAVAIDs.

12/13/2017 AC 150/5370-2G
