This is a Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) for airport construction work at George Bush Intercontinental Airport (IAH) in Houston, Texas. The project, identified as HAS Project No. TIP-25-112-IAH, involves building a concrete access road from Runway 8R Mid field RVR to Taxiway CC and a gravel access road from Runway 15L Rollout RVR to Taxiway WP. The work is organized in two phases to minimize disruption to aircraft operations, with no authorized interruptions permitted and no runway shutdowns required. All construction activities must occur outside the Runway Safety Area (RSA) of Runways 15L-33R and 8R-26L.

The contractor is responsible for comprehensive safety compliance per FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-2G, including submission of a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) prior to Notice to Proceed. Key requirements include: pre-construction and weekly progress meetings with airport staff, design engineer, and contractor representatives; restricted access to the Airport Operations Area (AOA) via designated gates with security badging requirements; vehicle markings with company identification and yellow/amber rotating beacons; Foreign Object Debris (FOD) management with training and "clean as you go" protocols; Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) procedures with spill containment and TCEQ compliance; underground utility locating 48 hours before work; wildlife management controls; and coordination with Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) personnel regarding emergency route modifications. Maximum equipment height is limited to 25 feet, no blasting is permitted, and all personnel operating vehicles on the AOA must complete airport driver training and pass a written test. Stockpile heights are capped at 15 feet, and haul routes must be maintained and restored. The contractor must provide wet/dry vacuum sweepers for debris control on all surfaces and ensure lighting for excavations and nighttime work with advance approval. Penalties for non-compliance include badge revocation, work prohibition, project shutdown, fines, and potential misdemeanor citations, with construction resumption contingent on rectifying all deficiencies.

1. Background

1.1. Project Overview

Build a concrete access road from Runway 8R Mid field RVR to Taxiway CC and a gravel access road from Runway 15L Roll out RVR to the end of Taxiway WP nearest to the RVR.

1.2. Construction Safety Documents

FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5370-2G Operational Safety on Airports during

Construction requires implementing procedures to increase safety during construction.

The Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) is one of two primary tools required to ensure safety compliance during construction. This CSPP was developed concurrently with the project drawings for this project and will be referenced throughout the construction of the project.

The following are general safety objectives that shall be achieved to maximize safety and to minimize time and economic loss to the aviation community, construction contractors, and others directly or indirectly affected by the project. The Contractor shall be responsible for controlling its operations and the operations of subcontractors (at all levels) and suppliers as they comply with the requirements of this document and as listed below:

• Maximize safety of aircraft operations

• Keep the airport operational for all users

• Provide for aircraft operational safety

• Maintain airfield operations within agreed parameters

• Minimize delays to aircraft operations

• Minimize delays to construction operations

• Minimize airport operation and construction activity conflict

The Contractor shall submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) acceptable to the Owner prior to the Notice to Proceed (NTP). The SPCD shall conform to requirements found in AC 150/5370-2G, paragraph 2.4.2.

2. Coordination Per FAA AC 150/5370-12B, Quality Management for Federally Funded Airport Construction Projects, meetings will be conducted to ensure the Owner, the Engineer, the Contractor, and other interested parties are aware of design, safety, and construction requirements and have an understanding of their individual responsibilities, as well as the technical and legal requirements of the contract.

A. Pre-Construction Meeting: HAS will conduct a pre-construction meeting prior to issuance of construction Notice to Proceed. Attendees will include the Authority staff, design engineer, resident project representative (RPR), construction observation staff, project superintendent and foreman of prime Contractor, as well as the project foreman for each subcontractor employed by the prime contractor.

B. Contractor Progress Meetings: Weekly progress meetings will be conducted if necessary. The day of the week for these meetings will be determined by agreement between the airport management, the construction manager and the Contractor. At a minimum, the meeting will be attended by the Project Superintendent, Constructing Superintendent, Foremen of Active Work (Including Subs), and the Contractor’s QC Representative.

C. 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 this CSPP. Changes to this document require review and approval by the airport operator and the FAA prior to implementation. In addition, the RPR shall coordinate proposed changes with any and all appropriate local or federal government agencies (i.e. EPA, OSHA, TSA, state environmental agencies, etc.).

D. Air Traffic Control Coordination: Coordination with the IAH ATCT will be coordinated by the airport’s construction administration team and/or the airport airfield operations division. The tower personnel will be invited to attend preconstruction conference and weekly construction progress meetings.

3. Phasing Phase Elements: The project shall be completed in a two phases. All work shall take place outside the RSA of Runway 15L-33R and 8R-26L, therefore having little impact to aircraft operations. The two-phase work area along the vehicle service road is shown on drawing G- 004 (See Appendix B).

1. 8R Mid Field RVR access road will be constructed with barricades located where labeled in g005 on taxiway CC.

2. 15L Rollout RVR access road will be constructed without affecting any runways, taxiways or navaids.

• No unauthorized interruption to aircraft operations will be allowed.

• Maintaining two-way traffic along the existing vehicle service road where it crosses the proposed vehicle service road and limiting time of work in this area.

4. Areas and Operations Affected by the Construction Activity

4.1. Identification of Affected Areas

The anticipated operational impacts to the Airport during the project. Impacts will vary based on normal operations of an area, Contractor work plan, and duration of work. The Contractor will be required to coordinate with Tenant and Airport Operations as detailed in Sections 2 and 6 of this document prior to impacting operations on the airport. For this project only a small section of Taxiway CC will be closed off to prevent incursions on the taxiway while work is completed at 8R Mid Field RVR.

4.2. Mitigation of Effects

Staging limits were developed to minimize impact in any work area. No Runway will require a shutdown during construction.

4.3. Runway Safety Areas

Contractor shall not enter the safety area of any active runway unless approval has been obtained from the RPR and City Aviation Department Operations staff. Contractor shall not place stockpiles or store materials and fuel in the runway approach protection area of any active runway. Refer to AC 150/5300-13B for Runway approach protection area dimensions and additional information.

5. Protection of Navigation Aids (NAVAIDs)

Aircraft navigational aids (NAVAIDs) provide visual and electronic information which is used by pilots to operate and land aircraft at the airport. The Construction activities can have negative impacts on the functionality and serviceability of NAVAIDs. The FAA owns, operates, and maintains the approach lighting systems on the airfield. No Navaids will be effected during the construction of these 2 access roads.

6. Contractor Access

6.1. Location of Stockpiled Construction Materials

Stockpiled construction materials shall typically be within the staging area locations as shown in the construction drawings on sheet G-005, included in Appendix A. Stockpiling is not allowed within the work areas unless specifically approved by the RPR. Stockpiles shall be limited to a height no greater than 15 ft. The Contractor shall manage stockpiles so that they do not attract wildlife (Refer to Section 7). The Contractor shall manage stockpiles so that they do not create foreign object debris (FOD) (Refer to Section 8). Stockpiles shall be marked and lit as noted in Section 20.

6.2. Vehicle and Pedestrian Operations

However, communication protocol shall be established between the Contractor and Airport Operations.

6.4. Airport Security

George bush intercontinental Airport maintains an active security program, and security is of primary importance. The project will take place outside the Airport’s Security Identification Display Area (SIDA), but the project is within the AOA. The Contractor shall designate personnel to attend airport security training and be badged as discussed below.

It is the Contractor’s responsibility to maintain a safe and secure work area. The Contractor is to notify the Owner immediately if a breach in security intentionally or accidentally occurs.

6.4.1. Security Badging Requirements

The Contractor and their subcontractors will be required to obtain security badging in accordance with Owner requirements when working within the AOA. The Contractor is directly responsible to the Owner for authorizing his/her employees and the employees of the subcontractors access into the AOA. The Contractor shall appoint a Badge Administrator to coordinate with the Owner’s Access Control Office. The Contractor shall account for photo-ID badges and controlled keys that are issued to its employees and the subcontractors’ employees. The Contractor shall collect all Airport photo-ID badges and controlled keys from its employees and the subcontractors’ employees at the conclusion of the project and return them to the Airport.

6.4.2. Maintenance of the Secured Area of the Airport

Access into the AOA shall be via the gate at flat irons lay down area and at the north service entrance as identified on Sheet G-005 in Appendix A. The Contractor shall be escorted by airport operations while work is taking place or when gate access is required, and ensure the gate is secured at all times.

7. Wildlife Management The Contractor will be expected to take steps to 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:

• Trash: Food scraps must be collected from construction personnel activity.

• Standing Water: Water shall not be allowed to collect and pool for more than any single 24-hour period.

• Tall Grass and Seeds: The use of millet seed in turfing and seeding operations shall not be permitted. Seeding utilized will be a FAA approved mix currently in use at the Ellington Airport.

• Poorly Maintained Fencing and Gates: The Contractor must maintain Airport security during construction. Periodic perimeter fence inspections are conducted by Aviation Security to ensure the fence is secured. These inspections also include identifying any animal digs that are located under the fence and ensuring that perimeter gates and drainage grates are tightly secured to prevent animal access.

The Contractor shall immediately report any damage to the gates or fences. The Contractor will be responsible for repairs to any gates or fences caused by negligence by the Contractor.

• Disruption of Existing Wildlife Habitat: Not applicable to this project.

8. Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Management Debris, waste and loose material capable of causing damage to aircraft, landing gears, propellers or being ingested in jet engines shall be properly controlled and picked up at all times. If these materials are observed, the Contractor shall remove them immediately. The Contractor shall provide wet/dry vacuum sweepers capable of maintaining all haul routes, aprons, taxiways and work areas free of debris and FOD at all times. The areas shall be kept clean and free of debris and FOD to the satisfaction of the airport and to the RPR. Dust and debris control is subsidiary to the work and is not measured for separate payment. The Contractor and its subcontractors shall take appropriate steps to prevent FOD within the AOA such as:

• Training: The Contractor shall provide training to all employees working within the AOA on effective FOD management. Training shall include description and consequences of FOD, FOD awareness, and housekeeping procedures.

• Housekeeping: Preventing FOD from occurring is the most effective form of FOD management. The Contractor must monitor construction activities and proactively develop a plan to prevent FOD from occurring. Typical FOD prevention measures include the use of covered trash containers, covered loads, zero tolerance of littering, and tying down items which may be easily wind-blown.

• Ground vehicle tire inspections: Prior to crossing active airfield pavement the Contractor must perform a vehicle tire check for any loose rocks that may be in the tread. Tires covered in mud must be cleaned prior to crossing active pavement in order to prevent tracking of dirt. The Contractor shall be required to install a stabilized construction access for additional measures to prevent tracking of dirt.

• Pavement sweeps: Prior to opening sections of pavement within a work area to aircraft traffic, the Contractor will be required to sweep the entire pavement surface (including paved shoulders). Metal bristled brooms are known to create FOD, and the Contractor will be required to clean all bristles from the pavement. Compressed air and vacuums can be used to clean pavement surfaces as well.

FOD Inspections: Refer to Section 11 for FOD inspection requirements. 9. Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) Management HAZMAT procedures shall be developed by the Contractor prior to the issuance of the notice-to-proceed for construction including but not limited to fuel storage and spill prevention and containment procedures. Hazardous materials may be identified by utilizing the U.S. Department of Transportation labelling and identification system. All hazardous materials arriving on site must be properly labelled, stored and managed as required by the material safety data sheet (MSDS) for that material. All wastes shall be properly stored, labelled, managed, and disposed of in accordance with the project specifications, local requirements and Texas Commission of Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regulations. Contractors and subcontractors are required to have copies of all MSDS for all materials brought on site. In addition, during the course of construction, there may be hazardous materials discovered on the construction site. Such materials may be in the form of asbestos in underground utilities, underground fuel storage units, contaminated soil, or other unknown hazardous materials. If such materials are discovered, the Contractor shall immediately report to airport operations and TCEQ. Reporting is to conform to TCEQ requirements. All spill containment/remediation shall be coordinated and performed to current TCEQ and the City of Houston’s environmental department requirements. In the event of a spill, the Contractor shall notify the RPR, Airport Operations, and TCEQ.

10. Notification of Construction Activities In the event of an emergency, the Contractor shall be required to contact emergency services by calling Airport Operations. In the event of an aircraft emergency, severe weather conditions, or any issue as determined by the Airport that may affect aircraft operations, the Contractor’s personnel and/or equipment may be required to immediately vacate the area(s) affected or install steel plates or fill in existing excavations within the RSA. 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 Contractor’s SPCD. FAA Form 7460-1 Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration will be filed for by an airport representative during the project design. Notice of temporary construction activity will be filed by the awarded Contractor prior to construction activities if a crane or any other equipment is required for prosecution of work. Advance notice of construction activities that modify the existing operation of the perimeter road shall be given to Airport Operations a minimum of 48 hours in advance, or at the weekly construction progress meeting, whichever is earliest.

Additional notification and/or construction coordination with Airport Operations, TSA and other airport staff may be required for specific construction items. These notification requirements will be discussed at the weekly construction progress meeting.

10.1. List of Responsible Representatives

Prior to, or during the pre-construction meeting, all parties will identify a main point of contact for coordination during construction. The Contractor will also be responsible for maintaining a list of representative points of contact as required by the Specifications. All contact with individuals or entities outside of the Contractors organization shall be made through the RPR.

10.2. Notices to Air Missions (NOTAMs)

The Contractor shall coordinate with the RPR to notify Airport Operations for the issuance of NOTAMs related to the project construction. The Owner and FAA shall generate, and issue NOTAMs based on the Contractor construction schedule and planned facility impacts. The Contractor must provide at least a one week notice when a NOTAM is expected to be necessary.

10.3. Emergency Notification Procedures

The Contractor shall develop an Emergency Action Plan in accordance with EFD requirements.

10.4. Coordination with Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) personnel Work will proceed on both sides of the ARFF access road and may impact ARFF current emergency routes. The Contractor shall discuss modifications to emergency routes with

Airfield Operations, Tenants, and ARFF personnel and will include pertinent information in the phasing plan.

10.5. Notification to the FAA

Before the Contractor uses any cranes, equipment, or other items, and the equipment meets the criteria in 14 CFR Part 77.9, they must submit a new Form 7460-1 to FAA for airspace review and approval. FAA review process can take up to 60 calendar days, so the Contractor shall plan accordingly.

11. Inspection Requirements Construction activity will be monitored per FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-12 for labor and the installation of project materials. FAA Form 5370-1 Construction Progress and Inspection Report will be completed daily and compiled weekly for all days/weeks the Contractor performs work. A preliminary/punch list inspection will be performed by the Project Superintendent, Constructing Superintendent the Contractor’s QC Representative, the RPR, the Engineer of Record and the Airport Project Manager prior to substantial completion. A Final walkthrough will be performed by the same personnel to verify all items from the preliminary/punch list walkthrough have been completed and the job can be closed out. During construction there will be several routine inspections conducted by the Owner and/or their agent(s) including but not limited to:

• FOD Inspection: The Contractor shall keep the project site and vehicles clean, employing a “clean as you go” approach throughout the project.

• Airport Operations Daily Inspection: Operations Officers conduct airfield inspections at least 3 times a day. These inspections include an inspection of all airfield-paved areas and safety areas to ensure compliance with FAR Part 139.327.

• Contractor Inspection: Prior to opening work areas and pavement to aircraft operations the Contractor must coordinate with the Owner for inspection of work area. Pavements must be free of all dirt, sand, gravel, wire bristles or any other objects that could cause damage to aircraft engines. All soil areas must be free of dirt clods, ruts, or surface irregularities that could damage an aircraft should it leave the pavement. Daily inspections must be completed to assure all traffic control devices are in proper location and working order.

• Additional Inspections: The Contractor will be required to coordinate various inspections as required by agencies having jurisdiction (AHJs) such as FAA Technical Operations, TSA, etc.

12. Underground Utilities The Contractor shall notify all utility companies and locate all services a minimum of 48 hours prior to beginning any work in the area. In the event of damage to Underground utilities, airport or FAA power and/or communication lines, whether shown on the drawings or not, the Contractor shall make and expedite repairs to replace the utility line break back in full service at no increase in cost to the Project. Existing underground utilities are shown from available utility records and observable surface features. Actual locations may vary, and utilities not shown on these plans may exist. Contractor shall coordinate with local utility companies, airport maintenance personnel, FAA, and DOD for assistance in locating all underground facilities in the project area prior to construction.

13. Penalties Penalties: Failure on the part of the Contractor to adhere to ATCT instruction, the airport safety plan, or any of the other prescribed requirements may have consequences that jeopardize the health, safety or lives of customers and employees at the airport. The Airport may issue warnings on the first offense based upon the circumstances of the incident.

Individuals involved in non-compliance violations may be required to surrender their Airport ID badges and/or be prohibited from working at the airport, pending an investigation of the matter. Payment of all fines assessed to the George bush intercontinental Airport due to violations by the Contractor of Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) security or staff requirements shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor. Penalties for violations related to airport safety and security procedures will be established by the Airport. Note, project shutdown or misdemeanor citations may be issued on a first offense. When construction operations are suspended, activity shall not resume until all deficiencies are rectified.

14. Special Conditions Not applicable.

15. Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids The runway and taxiway centerline, touchdown zone, edge lights, and end lights will not be impacted during this project. No work takes place inside any RSA or TSA.

17. Hazard Marking, Lighting, and Signing The Contractor shall provide prominent, comprehensible, warning indicators for any area affected by construction that is normally accessible to aircraft, personnel, or vehicles.

Contractor shall prominently mark open trenches and excavations with red or orange flags, as approved by the Owner, and light them with red lights during hours of restricted visibility or darkness. Lights must be flashing red and must be mounted on barricades. Lights must be operated between sunset and sunrise and during periods of low visibility whenever the airport is open for operations.

18. Work Zone Lighting for Nighttime Construction If Contractor determines nighttime construction is necessary to meet the project construction schedule, down-firing temporary lighting may be utilized. Light must not, at any time, be directed upwards. Type, location, and utilization schedule of lights must be provided a minimum of 3 days in advance to the Owner for review and approval prior to use.

19. Protection of Airfield Safety area encroachments, improper ground vehicle operations and unmarked or uncovered holes and trenches in the vicinity of aircraft operation surfaces and construction areas are the three most recurring threats to safety during construction. Protection of runway and taxiway safety areas, object free areas, obstacle free zones, and approach/departure surfaces shall be a standing requirement for the duration of construction operations.

a. Runway Safety Area (RSA). This project will not require work within the RSA. No work shall be permitted within an active runway safety area.

b. Runway Object Free Area (ROFA). This project will not require work within the

ROFA.

c. Taxiway Safety Area (TSA). This project will not require work within the TSA. No work shall be permitted within an active taxiway safety area.

d. Taxiway Object Free Area (TOFA This project will not require work within the

TOFA.

e. Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ). This project will not require work within the OFZ.

Construction personnel, material, and/or equipment may not penetrate the OFZ while the runway is open for aircraft operations. The OFZ is a defined volume of airspace centered about and above the runway centerline. The dimensions of the

OFZ are as defined in FAA AC 150/5300-13B (www.faa.gov).

f. Runway approach/departure surfaces. This project is not anticipated to impact the runway approach or departure surfaces. All personnel, materials, and/or equipment must remain clear of the applicable threshold siting surfaces as defined in FAA AC 150/5300-13B. Objects that do not penetrate these surfaces may still be obstructions to air navigation and may affect standard instrument approach procedures. Coordinate with the FAA through the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office.

20. Other Limitations on Construction Miscellaneous limitations on construction in the contract documents include, but are not limited to:

• Limited interruptions to aircraft operations

• No blasting is allowed

• The maximum height of equipment is 25’.
