I. INTRODUCTION

Aviation safety is the primary consideration at airports, especially during construction. The Airport

Operator’s Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) and the Contractor’s Safety Plan

Compliance Document (SPCD) are the primary tools to ensure safety compliance when coordinating construction activities with Airport operations. These documents identify all aspects of the construction project that pose a potential safety hazard to Airport operations and outline respective mitigation procedures for each hazard.

The CSPP sets forth benchmarks and requirements for the project to promote the highest levels of safety, security, and efficiency at the Airport at the time of construction. Guideline requirements for the CSPP are developed from FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-2G, Operational Safety on

Airports During Construction. The CSPP is to be used by all personnel involved in the project.

The CSPP covers the actions of construction personnel, equipment inspection personnel, and

Airport staff.

This document has been developed to minimize interruptions to Airport operations and optimize the safety of construction activity. It is mandatory that all personnel associated with this project adhere to the provisions of the CSPP. The following items must be completed prior to beginning any work in the AOA and before mobilizing large construction equipment: the

Contractor shall submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) to the Airport on the

Contractor’s letterhead containing the following statement “I, (Name of Contractor), have read the (Title of Project) CSPP, approved on (Date), and will abide by it as written and with the following additions as noted”, describing how the Contractor will comply with the requirements set forth in this CSPP and the requirements set forth in AC 150/5370-2G and the Contractor must also attend a safety meeting with PGD operations staff before starting construction. In the event the Contractor’s activities are found to be in non-compliance with the provisions of the CSPP or the SPCD, the Airport’s Representative will direct the Contractor to immediately cease those operations which are in violation. In addition, a safety meeting will be conducted for the purpose of reviewing those provisions in the CSPP/SPCD which were violated.

The Contractor will not be allowed to resume any construction operations until after the conclusion of the safety meeting and after all corrective actions required have been implemented by the

Contractor. The FAA has not requested a Safety Risk Management (SRM) review process be conducted for this project. A Strategic Event Notice Form 600-26 is now required to be submitted to the FAA at least 45 days prior to starting construction.

II. AIRPORT INFORMATION

This project is located at Punta Gorda Airport (PGD) in Punta Gorda, Florida. The airport vicinity is depicted in Figure 1. PGD is a small hub commercial service airport that consists of three paved runways (Runway 4-22, Runway 15-33, and Runway 9-27). Runway 4-22 is the primary runway and is 7,193-ft long and 150-ft wide. Runway 4-22 is served by a single, full parallel taxiway –

Taxiway A. Runway 15-33 is 6,286-ft long and 150-ft wide. Runway 15-33 is served by two, partial parallel taxiways – Taxiways D and H. Runway 9-27 is 2,636-ft long and 60-ft wide. Runway 9-27 is served by a single, full parallel taxiway – Taxiway E. The airport also includes a ten (10) gate commercial passenger terminal, aircraft parking aprons, T-hangars, corporate hangars, one (1)

Fixed Base Operator (FBO) facility, and an Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT). The Airport Diagram and project location are depicted in Figure 2.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Charlotte County Airport Authority (CCAA) desires to further expand the General Aviation

(GA) Terminal Ramp pavement, filling in part of the infield areas on the south side of the existing ramp. The project will be located on the north side of the airfield, to the east of the

Series 600 T-Hangars, north of Taxiway “E” and south of Challenger Blvd., with landside access from Challenger Blvd (Figure 2, red box). The full extents of the project are shown in Sheet

G101 - Project Layout, Access, and Staging Plan (see Appendix A). The project is expected to be funded primarily with Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) funds. Federal Aviation

Administration (FAA) AIP Grant funding is not being pursued for this project; therefore, the project design schedule will not be dictated by the FAA AIP Grant application deadline.

2. Maintaining airfield perimeter security throughout the construction process but especially during temporary access gate construction (See Section VI)

3. Always Maintaining access to the General Aviation apron from the airfield during construction (See Section VI)

IV. COORDINATION

CONTRACTOR PROGRESS MEETINGS

Construction Progress Meetings will be held with the Owner regularly, as agreed upon, with minutes recorded and issued to all stakeholders. Attendees shall include but not be limited to

Owner Representatives, Contractor Project Manager, Design Engineer, and Contractor Safety and Security Officer (CSSO). FAA ATC representatives may also be required as determined by the project Owner. Items for discussion related to construction safety will include the following:

• Schedule of activities extended out for a 2-3 week period

• Impacts to Airport Operations and facility closures

• NOTAM’s to be issued

• Review of safety measures required and parties responsible for compliance

• Review of any changes in scope

SCOPE OR SCHEDULE CHANGES

If changes in scope or schedule are required at the request of the Owner or by unforeseen conditions that affect airport safety or operations, they shall be addressed accordingly, per contract requirements, and the CSPP will be updated to reflect the changes. Changes must be approved by the Owner.

FAA ATO COORDINATION

Air Traffic Operations (ATO) will coordinate with the FAA on all construction activities that impact operations in the Airport Operations Area (AOA). The AOA is defined as all areas used or intended

Figure 3 – Work Area to be used for aircraft operations, including active runways, aprons, taxiways, taxilanes, etc. This will be done on a weekly basis at the Construction Progress Meetings and as necessary throughout the project. Coordination will be with the following: Airport Management, Michael

Baker International, Airport Operations and FAA Contacts.

V. PHASING

The project has five (5) main construction phases, with additional subphases broken out for each phase. The phasing plan and associated notes (see Appendix A) provide a more thorough description of the project.

The number of phases has been balanced to reduce impact to airport operations without significantly increasing construction cost or duration. Phasing limits were also designed to maintain access to the existing apron at all times throughout construction.

Normal work hours will be Monday through Saturday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Nighttime work is anticipated for the work located within the Taxiway G object free area. 24-hour work is not anticipated for this project. Table 1 provides a summary of each phase and Table 2 provides the construction durations summary.

There are no expected impacts to existing FAA-owned NAVAIDs associated with this project.

Locking of existing airfield perimeter gates and/or a gate guard will be maintained to keep the

AOA secured. Haul routes and Contractor’s staging areas are depicted on Sheet G101 – Project

Layout, Access, and Staging Plan attached in Appendix A.

VI. AREAS AND OPERATIONS AFFECTED BY CONSTRUCTION

As outlined in the Phasing Summary, the project will require closure of pavement areas to aircraft activity including taxiways. The Contractor will be required to provide sufficient barricades and signage to direct vehicle traffic to the appropriate areas.

• Maintaining Access Routes – No access routes to the airfield shall be blocked or closed.

Contractor shall maintain access through approved gates for the duration of construction

• Maintaining Apron Access – Access to the GA Terminal Apron will be maintained throughout the entirety of construction.

• Maintaining Utilities – No Interruption of utilities, including water supplies for ARFF, is expected.

No utilities other than airfield electrical will be impacted by this project. Any proposed impacts to utilities that serve any Airport facility shall be properly coordinated, through the Airport Staff, with the appropriate Airport facility that is to be impacted; however, none are expected.

• Approach/departure surfaces affected by heights of objects – There are no anticipated impacts to any active approach or departure surfaces from equipment heights in this project.

• Construction Areas – These areas include the project work area, storage/stockpile areas, staging areas, and Contractor haul routes near active airfield surfaces. These areas are identified graphically in the Project Layout Plan and Safety and Phasing Plans.

This CSPP has established specific requirements and operational procedures necessary to maintain the safety and efficiency of Airport operations during the construction of this project. All coordination pertaining to Airport operations during construction will go through the Resident

Project Representative (RPR) and Airport Operations. Any required NOTAM’s to be issued will be sent by the Contractor through the RPR and issued by the Airport.

• Temporary changes to taxi operations – The effected taxiways previously identified as having reduced access or identified as being closed entirely to aircraft traffic, will be barricaded by the use of low profile, lighted barricades placed as shown on the phasing plans (see Appendix A).

In addition, required NOTAM’s shall be issued on the various temporary changes to aircraft access through the affected areas.

• Detours for ARFF and other Airport vehicles – The project work-site shall remain open to all

ARFF vehicles in emergency situations. The Contractor is required to maintain access in and around the project work area for all ARFF vehicles. Proper routing of this traffic will be effectively communicated to all supervisory personnel involved in the construction project.

• Maintenance of essential utilities – The Contractor shall locate and/or arrange for the location of all the underground utilities. When an underground cable or utility is damaged by the

Contractor, the Contractor shall immediately repair the affected cable or utility at his/her own expense. Full coordination between Airport staff, field inspectors, and construction personnel will be exercised to ensure that all Airport power and control cables are fully protected prior to any excavation. Contractor shall ensure locations of cabling and other underground utilities are marked prior to beginning excavation. This includes FAA-owned underground cables.

• Temporary changes to air traffic control procedures – Must be coordinated in advance with the

FAA ATO.

VII. NAVAID PROTECTION

The proposed scope of work will not take place near any existing NAVAIDS.

VIII. CONTRACTOR ACCESS

Contractor parking and equipment staging areas have been identified as the Contractor Staging

Area and are graphically identified in the drawing set and in the Project Layout Plan. No other access points shall be allowed unless approved by the RPR.

CONTRACTOR SITE PARKING

Employee vehicles shall be parked in the staging area shown in the plans. Employees shall park personal vehicles where shown and be transported to and from the work areas via badged

Contractor’s vehicles having permitted access to the AOA.

CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT PARKING

Contractor employees must park and service all construction vehicles in an area designated by the Airport outside the OFA and never in the safety area of an active runway, taxiway or taxilane.

Unless a complex setup procedure makes movement of specialized equipment impossible, inactive equipment must not park on a closed taxiway or runway. If it is necessary to leave specialized equipment on a closed taxiway or runway at night, the equipment must be well lighted.

Employees must also park construction vehicles outside of the OFA when not in use (i.e.

overnight, on weekends, or during other periods when construction is not active). Parked equipment shall not obstruct the visibility of visual aids, signs, or navigational aids serving active runways and taxiways.

ACCESS AND HAUL ROADS

The approved access and haul roads are the only routes that are permitted to be used. The routes must be clearly marked to prevent inadvertent entry to areas open to Airport operations. The construction traffic on the haul route must not interfere with NAVAIDS or the approach surfaces of any operational runway.

MARKING AND LIGHTING OF VEHICLES

• Marking and lighting of vehicles shall be in accordance with AC 150/5210-5D, Painting, Marking and Lighting of Vehicles Used on an Airport. All Contractor construction vehicles and mobile equipment operating in the AOA shall be identified by three - foot (3') square orange and white flags whenever such vehicle or equipment is operating on or about the AOA. Checkered orange and white squares shall be a minimum of 1 - foot (1’) square. On Contractor’s supervisory vehicles, the Contractor’s name shall be clearly affixed on each side, with flashing beacons all in accordance with current Airport requirements. During the hours between 30 minutes before sunset and 30 minutes after sunrise and always when visibility is impaired, vehicles and mobile equipment shall also be equipped with a flashing amber beacon light mounted on the top of the vehicle or equipment. Beacon lights shall provide:

• Three-hundred-and-sixty-degree azimuth coverage.

• Effective intensity in the horizontal plane not less than 40 or more than 400 candelas.

• Beam spread measured to 1/10 peak intensity extending from 10 degrees to 15 degrees above the horizontal. Sixty to ninety flashes per minute.

The Contractor shall establish and maintain a list of Contractor and Subcontractor vehicles authorized to operate within the AOA. To be authorized to operate on the Airport, each Contractor or Subcontractor’s vehicle shall:

• Be lighted as described above. Vehicles that are not lighted shall be escorted by a vehicle appropriately lighted.

• Be identified with the name and/or logo of the Contractor and be of sufficient size to be identified at a distance. Vehicles needing intermittent identification may be marked with tape or with commercially available magnetically attached markers. Vehicles that are not appropriately identified shall be escorted by a vehicle that conforms to this requirement.

• Vehicles requiring escort shall also be identified on the Contractor's vehicle list.

• Be operated in a manner that does not compromise the safety of either landside or airside Airport operations. If, in the opinion of the Airport, any vehicle is operated in a manner not fully consistent with this requirement, the Airport has the right to restrict operation of the vehicle.

VEHICLE OPERATIONS

All Contractor vehicles and mobile equipment not individually authorized by the Airport for independent operation in the AOA shall be operated under escort while in the AOA. The escort vehicle and its driver must be authorized by the Airport for escort duty and for operation within the

AOA. If access to the construction, staging or storage sites requires the crossing of an active runway or taxiway, all vehicles shall be escorted across said runway or taxiway by an Airport escort vehicle. No crane shall be allowed on the work site.

REQUIRED ESCORTS

Contractor employees requiring access onto the AOA shall be required to obtain photo-type identification badges from the Airport. Employees requiring badges shall be required to take a training class and pass an FBI criminal background check. All fees associated with obtaining a badge shall be paid for by the Contractor. Non-badged Contractor employees must be accompanied onto the AOA by a badged employee approved as an escort with ramp driving privileges. Badges must be displayed on the outer garment at all times when on the AOA.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the actions of employees and Subcontractors. Personnel who do not abide by Airport rules and regulations are subject to prosecution. All non-badged

Contractor employees shall be within voice and visual range of a badged escort at all times when in the AOA.

CROSSING GUARD

Taxilane G2 will require crossing guards to control all construction traffic crossings on Taxilane

G2 during Phase 1A. Aircraft will always have right of way and are not expected to stop or slow for any vehicles. Crossing guards are required to monitor the Ground Control radio frequency to stop all construction traffic across Taxilane G2 in advance of taxing aircraft.

TRAINING

Authorization for unescorted access within the AOA requires employees to successfully complete training through the Airport. Authorization to operate a vehicle unescorted within the AOA requires the employee to successfully complete the movement area driver training through the Airport.

RADIO COMMUNICATION

Radio contact is required at all times while the Contractor has personnel and equipment in the active AOA. Radios shall be furnished by the Contractor and shall be capable of receiving Punta

Gorda (PGD) Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) – 121.0 when the Tower is closed and Ground Control Frequency – 119.55 at all other times. These frequencies shall be utilized when crossing active runways and taxiways including entering and exiting the designated construction area. Contractor may not cross active airfield pavement without escort from Airport

Operations. Sufficient radios shall be on site and operating at all times so that instructions or communications may be dispatched to all crews and/or supervisors working in the active AOA.

Vehicle drivers must confirm by personal observations that no aircraft is approaching their position

(either in the air or on the ground) prior to crossing a runway, taxiway, or any other area open to aircraft operations. In addition, it is the responsibility of the escort vehicle driver to verify the movement/position of all escorted vehicles at any given time.

AIRPORT SECURITY

Contractor shall be responsible for the security of his equipment and materials. Contractor shall keep airfield perimeter gates locked, maintaining a secure airfield perimeter fence, and/or a gate guard to keep the AOA secured at all times. For joint use gates, the Contractor shall interlock to existing locks or chains to allow access by other contractors or agencies permitted to use the gate. If a lock is found unsecured, the company owning the lock is in violation of Airport Rules and Regulations. In addition, unauthorized entry to the Air Operations Area through the gates may result in the responsible party being cited for violating Airport Regulations.

The Federal Aviation Act of 1958, Section 901, 49 USC 1371, gives the FAA and Transportation

Security Administration (TSA) authority to place a fine on any Airport found to be in breach of a security requirement.

The Contractor shall reimburse the Airport for the full amount of any fines placed on them due to any action by the Contractor or their Subcontractors. Fines may be placed on the Airport for such things as security gates being unlocked, fences torn down, and AOA not being properly secured.

These are only examples of items causing fines and not limitations. There could be other related items.

It is the Contractor's responsibility to prevent any breach of security within his area of construction or any route of entry to area of construction.

All personnel having unescorted access to any security restricted area shall wear valid airport identification badges on their outer garments, at all times, to permit ready recognition by Airport

Security. The Contractor’s employees, whether issued Airport security badges or not, must always have a valid governmental identification on their person.

Failure to comply with these requirements will result in the employee being escorted off the airfield and fines may be imposed at the Contractor’s expense.

Identification badges must be controlled at all times. When personnel are terminated, upon completion of the construction project, and/or when badges expire, the Contractor is responsible for returning identification badges to Airport Security. Before a new badge is issued to any person, their expired or invalid badge must be returned to Airport Security.

The Contractor will provide to the Airport a list of employees having access to the AOA. The

Contractor is responsible for the direct supervision of their employees at all times while in such restricted areas.

Any person found within any security restricted area without proper identification shall be in violation of Federal law and the Airport Rules and Regulations. All such persons shall be escorted off the airfield and may be cited by the Airport. In addition, the person may have their identification badge revoked.

IX. WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

Serious AOA hazards can include wildlife. To reduce the likelihood of attracting wildlife, the

Contractor shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local regulations regarding environmental protection and shall adhere to the following specific requirements.

TRASH

Contractor shall maintain a clean site free from all food scraps and trash. Contractor shall identify the location of closed containers for the collection of food scraps and trash. Contractor will make arrangements for trash container removal from the project site on a daily basis and the staging area on a weekly basis. Daily inspections are required to ensure compliance prior to leaving the jobsite.

TALL GRASS AND SEEDS

Grass species and other varieties of plants attractive to wildlife are not to be used on the airport.

Disturbed areas or areas in need of re-vegetating shall be repaired with sod. In the area staked as the Contractor Staging area, installation of grass seed in lieu of sod will be permitted.

The Contractor will be required to maintain all vegetation within the delineated project area and staging area to a height not exceeding 8 inches from start of mobilization through final completion.

WILDLIFE ENCOUNTER

In the event of a wildlife encounter such as a flock of birds on the airfield, Contractor shall immediately notify Airport Operations and the RPR.

SITE DRAINAGE

Contractor is required to maintain work-site drainage at all times. Ponding water will not be allowed to collect and pool for more than any single 24-hour period.

FENCING AND GATES

A temporary access gate will be needed for this project. Access to the AOA shall be through this temporary gate. The Contractor shall be responsible for keeping the gate closed, preserving airport security and keeping out wildlife. Airport security is in charge of gate coordination, and it may take a significant amount of time for changes in gate approval or approval of temporary AOA gates. The contractor will be responsible for coordination with airport security and plan accordingly.

X. FOREIGN OBJECT DEBRIS (FOD) MANAGEMENT

Foreign Object Debris (FOD) poses a serious hazard inside of the AOA consisting of, but not limited to: personal, equipment, and aircraft damage. Incidents cause by FOD could result in significant injury or death. Different examples of FOD include rocks, dirt, construction debris, left over material and containers, tools and trash.

The contractor is responsible for training all personal and sub-contractors in FOD control and shall provide receptacles to contain the FOD as it is produced. Receptacles shall be appropriately secure as to be wind and resistant to other means of dispersal.

Loose materials shall be immediately removed from the active portion of the Air Operations Area

(AOA), placed in protected areas, or otherwise secured to prevent dispersal into active portions of AOA. Debris shall be promptly removed from AOA if encountered by the Contractor whether generated by Contractor’s operations or not. The Contractor shall exercise care in the transportation of materials within the AOA. Materials tracked or spilled in the AOA shall be removed immediately. When hauling, loading, grading, or when any of the Contractor’s activities are likely to cause the deposit of loose materials in the AOA, it shall be immediately removed using powered vacuum sweepers, loaders, trucks, etc., or by hand as necessary. All airfield pavement that is closed for construction activities must be cleaned to the satisfaction of airport operations prior to the pavement being re-opened to aircraft operations.

XI. HAZARDOUS MATERIALS (HAZMAT) MANAGEMENT

The Contractor shall prepare all required documentation, pay all fees and perform all services and work necessary to obtain all permits and approvals from any and all local, state, and federal regulatory agencies for the Contractor’s staging, stockpile, blending and batch plant areas and operations. The Contractor shall develop a Pollution Prevention Plan to conform to the

Contractor’s activities on the project. The plan shall be in strict compliance with the National

Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued or approved by the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) pursuant to 40 CFR Part 122.6. The plan shall address all measures to dispose of, control, or prevent the discharge of solid, hazardous and sanitary wastes to the waters of the U.S. The plan shall include procedures to control offsite tracking of soil by vehicles and construction equipment, and procedures for cleanup and reporting of non-storm water discharges such as contaminated groundwater or accident spills.

The Contractor shall take all necessary precautions to prevent spills or leaks of fuels, oils, greases, hydraulic fluids and other significant materials to comply with the requirements of the

NPDES during project construction.

Should spills or leaks occur, the Contractor shall be fully and solely responsible for containment and cleanup and shall report the spill immediately to Airport Operations/ARFF, and as soon as possible to the Engineer and/or RPR. Other notification requirements may apply. This report shall be filed even if the spill does not reach surface waters, since wells in the area may be contaminated by spills that infiltrate to the ground water. The Contractor shall include the following minimum steps in his Best Management Practices and Pollution Prevention Plan:

• Execute periodic cleaning to keep the work-site and adjacent properties free from accumulations of waste materials, rubbish, windblown debris, and dust resulting from construction operations.

• Provide on-site containers for the collection of waste materials, debris and rubbish. Shield any containers holding significant materials such as oil, grease, oily rags, from entering the storm water systems.

• Remove waste materials, debris and rubbish from the site periodically and dispose of same at approved locations.

• Conduct cleaning and disposal operations to comply with all local, state and federal codes, ordinances, regulations, and anti-pollution laws, including NPDES requirements. Prior to beginning work, prepare, and maintain on-site, a Disposal Plan for the satisfactory disposal of all waste materials and debris.

• Stop the source of the spill immediately, remembering to follow personal safety and protective measures and requirements.

• Contain the liquid until cleanup is complete using appropriate barriers.

• Notify the fire department or other designated response team immediately if the spill is larger than can be cleaned using dry methods, or if the spill is not immediately and safely contained. Report possible ground water contamination immediately to the Airport, County and Health Department.

• Use dry methods to clean up the spill if possible. Do not use emulsifiers, dispersants, or wash the spill into surface or ground water.

• Place the contaminated material from cleanup operations in sealed and labeled drums protected against storm, surface or ground water contact. Arrange for a properly licensed waste disposal firm to collect and dispose of the contaminated materials.

• Provide documentary evidence, including test results as applicable, of successful cleanup and disposal of spills of significant or hazardous materials.

• All disposal of waste materials, excess excavation and debris shall be legally disposed of offsite. Disposal locations are subject to approval by the Engineer and/or RPR. Contractor shall be responsible for arranging for and obtaining off-site disposal areas, including payment for all costs associated with such disposal.

• Should the Contractor encounter unlabeled drums, materials with evident petroleum contamination, or other potentially significant or hazardous materials, he shall immediately take measures to protect workers and nearby residents from exposure. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer and/or RPR and the appropriate hazardous materials (Hazmat) response team. The Engineer and/or RPR will issue instructions on proceeding or suspending construction after such notification.

Construction NOTAMS shall be issued by the Airport. Construction causing runway or taxiway closures shall be kept to a minimum. Scheduled closures shall be discussed with the Airport representatives as far in advance as possible, but not less than Seventy-two (72) hours in advance.

EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION PROCEDURES

All accidents causing personal injury or property damage shall be reported to the Airport immediately. The Contractor shall provide, at the site, such equipment and medical facilities as are necessary to supply first aid service to anyone who may be injured in connection with the performance of the work, whether on or adjacent to the site, which causes death, personal injury, or property damage, giving full details and statements of witnesses. In addition, if death or serious injuries or serious damages are caused, the accident shall be reported immediately by telephone to 911. The caller shall inform the 911 operator that the incident is at the Punta Gorda Airport so that the emergency and airport personnel can coordinate.

NOTIFICATION TO THE FAA

FAR PART 77

Although not anticipated, any person proposing construction or alteration of objects or use of construction equipment that affect navigable airspace as defined in Part 77 must notify the FAA.

The Airport has filed FAA Form 7460-01 for this project. The FAA Airspace Number will be provided to the contractor when available.

NAVAIDS

AIRPORT-OWNED/FAA-MAINTAINED

Although not anticipated, if construction operations require a shutdown of more than 24 hours or more than 4 hours daily on consecutive days of a NAVAID owned by the airport but maintained by the FAA, a 45-day minimum notice shall be provided to FAA/ATO Technical Operations prior to facility shutdown.

FAA-OWNED

The Airport must notify the appropriate FAA ATC Service Area Planning and Requirements (P&R)

Group a minimum of 45 days prior to impacting the NAVAIDS (impacts to FAA equipment covered by a reimbursable agreement (RA) do not have to be reported by the Airport operator).

Although not anticipated, coordinate work for any FAA-owned NAVAID shutdown with FAA

Technical Operations. This includes any activity that requires FAA equipment to be removed from service, including any necessary reimbursable agreements and flightchecks. Detail procedures that address unanticipated utility outages and cable cuts that could impact FAA NAVAIDS. In addition, provide several days’ notice to schedule the actual shutdown.

XIII. INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS

Daily Inspections shall be conducted by the Contractor with Airport Operations using the

Construction Project Daily Safety Inspection Checklist (see Appendix B). In addition, a

Substantial Completion and Final Inspection will be performed with Airport Staff.

XIV. UNDERGROUND UTILITIES

No underground utilities other than existing drainage and electrical items are expected to be impacted. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to locate and flag all existing utilities in the area that are to be protected during construction. The contractor shall immediately notify the Airport and RPR in the event a utility is damaged. Unless the utility is owned by the FAA, it is required to completely fix the damaged utility before proceeding. Coordination with FAA ATO is mandatory before repair work is started on any FAA utility.

A FAA crash telephone line is direct-buried within the project area affected by all bid schedules.

This line has been confirmed as FAA property and is maintained by Century Link. All work related to this line will be coordinated with the FAA and airport maintenance prior to commencement.

XV. PENALTIES

Contractor shall be responsible for compliance with Airport rules and regulations by all employees and Subcontractors. Penalties for non-compliance include the following:

• Failure to follow safety and/or security requirements (proper identification, escorting, controlling security gate access, unauthorized access to cross active movement areas) will require the violator and the direct supervisor to re-attend SIDA class. Second infraction will result in revoking the SIDA badge and denied access to the jobsite.

• Reimbursement for any fines incurred as a result of non-compliance. Fines as high as $10,000.00 may be assessed for runway incursions, and as high as $11,000 for TSA violations.

XVI. SPECIAL CONDITIONS

During periods of severe weather conditions or other operational emergencies, the Airport may direct the Contractor to relinquish areas under construction and to prepare the areas for aircraft operations. In this event the RPR or Airport Operations will so direct the Contractor to evacuate the area, and the RPR or Airport Operations will specify the limits of the area to be evacuated, the term of evacuation and the conditions governing the restoration work necessary to prepare the area for aircraft operation. The Contractor shall promptly and fully comply with the RPR or

Airport Operation’s directive. Should the directive entail extra work under the Contract, as determined by the RPR or Airport Operations, the Contractor shall be reimbursed for such extra work in accordance with the Contract. Should the directive entail a delay in the completion of the

Contract or any defined subdivision of the contract, as determined by the RPR or Airport

Operations, the Contractor may be granted an extension of time.

XVII. RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY VISUAL AIDS

GENERAL

Airport markings, lighting, signs and visual NAVAIDS must be clearly visible to pilots, not misleading, confusing, or deceptive. All must be secured in place to prevent movement by props wash, jet blast, wing vortices, or wind currents and constructed of materials that would minimize damage to an aircraft in the event of inadvertent contact.

CLOSURES

If the Contractor requires access to operational areas not delineated on the Construction Safety

Plan Drawings(s), the Contractor shall promptly notify the Airport and Engineer of the proposed access route desired. The Contractor shall strictly abide by all conditions imposed by the Airport relating to his entry and use of such areas, and shall not enter these areas until granted temporary, conditional entry clearance by the Airport.

Prior to the commencement of any demolition or other work which will cause an interruption or modification to existing aircraft operations, the Contractor shall confer with, and obtain authorization from, the RPR and Airport Operations.

When the Contractor’s operations require the closure of any runway, taxiway, apron, roadway, service gate, walkway, etc., the Contractor shall notify the RPR and Airport Operations not less than 72 hours in advance. No runway, taxiway, apron, roadway, service gate, walkway, etc., shall be closed without prior permission from the RPR and Airport Operations.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED TAXIWAYS

Contractor shall place barricades outside the safety area of runway/taxiway intersections, leading to any closed section. Contractor will coordinate with Airport Operations if lights and/or signs shall be covered for the duration of a taxiway closure.

TEMPORARILY CLOSED LIGHTING AND NAVAIDS

Temporary lighting or NAVAID closures shall be coordinated with Airport Operations a minimum of 72 hours in advance.

XVIII. MARKING AND SIGNS FOR ACCESS ROUTES

Contractor shall utilize existing service roads and/or airfield pavements, as identified on Sheet

C151 – Project Layout, Access, and Staging Plan for access routes to the sites. Contractor shall place signage along the route to prevent inadvertent entry to areas open to airport operations.

XIX. HAZARD MARKING AND LIGHTING

Hazard Marking, Lighting and Signing prevents aircraft from entering areas closed to aircraft and prevents construction personnel from entering areas open to aircraft. Temporary signs may be required for Contractor's work occurring inside the security fence.

The detailed layout of signs, barricades and other measures shall be inspected by Airport

Operations, and any necessary changes or modifications will be promptly implemented by the

Contractor as directed. The revised installation will be reinspected and approved by Airport

Operations before the Contractor may commence any construction.

Lights and signs for temporarily closed taxiways shall be deactivated. If deactivation is not possible (for example, if other taxiways on the same circuit must remain open), temporary covering of lights and signs serving deactivated areas shall be required in a manner preventing light leakage. The method of temporary cover shall be approved by the Airport.

BARRICADES

The Contractor shall install low-profile barricades to delineate hazardous and closed areas during construction. Steady burning red obstruction lights are required to supplement lighted barricades for nighttime use or highlight hazardous or potentially dangerous objects. The location of these lights shall be as shown on the Plans or as directed by the RPR and Airport Operations.

Obstruction lights, low-profile barricades and signs shall not be located within runway, taxiway or taxilane safety areas when the runway, taxiway or taxilane is open to air traffic.

Low profile barricades (as shown on the Phasing Plans) shall be placed before work begins on each phase. Barricades are also required for open trenches, and small areas under repair within an active taxiway or runway safety area.

XX. WORK ZONE LIGHTING FOR NIGHTTIME CONSTRUCTION

Portable floodlighting shall be provided for construction that must occur during nighttime operations. All work areas shall be illuminated to a level of five (5) horizontal footcandles calculated and measured in accordance with the current standards of the Illumination Engineering

Society. Care shall be taken to direct light plants away from the airfield and away from aircraft landing and taking off. Orientation of light plants shall be coordinated with Airport Operations.

XXI. PROTECTION OF RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY SAFETY AREAS

RUNWAY SAFETY AREA (RSA)

No work for this project will be in the Runway Safety Area (RSA).

RUNWAY OBJECT FREE AREA (ROFA)

No work for this project will be in the Runway Object Free Area (ROFA).

TAXIWAY SAFETY AREA (TSA)

No Construction activity, personnel, equipment, or materials shall be permitted in the safety area of any active taxiway. All active TSAs shall be graded to meet TSA grading criteria without trenches or drop-offs. The TSA dimensions may be temporarily adjusted if the taxiway is restricted to aircraft operations requiring a TSA that is equal to the TSA width available during construction, subject to approval by the FAA ATC and the Airport.

TAXIWAY OBJECT FREE AREA (TOFA)

Construction activity, personnel, equipment, or materials shall not be permitted within the

Obstacle Free Area (OFA) of an active taxiway, taxilane or apron. Dimensions may be adjusted temporarily if the taxiway (lane) is restricted to aircraft operations requiring a taxiway object free area that is equal to the taxiway object free area width available, subject to approval by the FAA

ATC and the Airport.

OBJECT FREE ZONE (OFZ)

No work for this project will be in the Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ) or threshold siting surfaces.

RUNWAY APPROACH/DEPARTURE AREAS AND CLEARWAYS

No work for this project will be in the Runway Approach/Departure Areas or Clearways.

EXCAVATIONS

Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the TSA or RSA while the subject taxiway or runway is open. If possible, backfill trenches before the taxiway or runway is opened. If the taxiway or runway must be opened before excavations are backfilled, cover the excavations appropriately. Covering for open trenches must be designed to allow the safe operation of the heaviest aircraft operating on the taxiway across the trench without damage to the aircraft.

Construction contractors must use low profile barricades with steady burning red lights, and prominently mark open trenches and excavations at the construction site, as approved by the

Airport operator, and light them during hours of restricted visibility or darkness.

EROSION CONTROL

Soil erosion must be controlled to maintain TSA and RSA standards. Safety area requirements:

must be cleared and graded and have no potentially hazardous ruts, humps, depressions, or other surface variations, and capable, under dry conditions, of supporting snow removal equipment, aircraft rescue and firefighting equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing structural damage to the aircraft.

XXII. OTHER LIMITATIONS ON CONSTRUCTION

i. There is no burning or blasting allowed on Airport property.

ii. No open flame welding or torches are to be used on Airport property.

Construction suspension required during specific airport operations:

• Presidential visits

• Hurricane or disaster relief events
