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 help ensure 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 not only the construction personnel and equipment, but also the action of inspection personnel and Airport staff.

This document has been developed to minimize interruptions to Airport operations, reduce construction costs, and maximize the performance and safety of construction activity. Strict adherence to the provisions of the CSPP by all personnel assigned to or visiting the construction site is mandatory for construction projects at the Airport. The Contractor will be required to submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) to the Airport describing how the Contractor will comply with the requirements set forth in this CSPP and the requirements set forth in AC

150/5370-2G. The SPCD must be submitted to the Airport for approval prior to issuance of the

Notice to Proceed. 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. It is anticipated that this project will not require a Safety Risk Management (SRM) review process as the impact to the runways is limited.

II. AIRPORT INFORMATION

This project is located at the St.-Pete Clearwater International Airport (PIE) in Clearwater, Florida.

The airport vicinity is depicted in Figure 1. PIE is a small hub commercial service airport that consists of two paved runways (Runway 18-36 and Runway 4-22). Runway 18-36 is the primary runway and is 9,730-ft long and 150-ft wide. Runway 18-36 is served by a single, full parallel taxiway – Taxiway A. Runway 4-22 is 6,000-ft long and 150-ft wide. Runway 4-22 is served by a single, partial parallel taxiway – Taxiway G. The airport also includes a fifteen (15) gate commercial passenger terminal, aircraft parking aprons, T-hangars, corporate hangars, two (2)

Fixed Base Operator (FBO) facilities, and an Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT). The Airport

Diagram and approximate project locations are depicted in Figure 2.

III. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The project consists primarily of airfield improvements at PIE. The project is divided into two (2) distinct project areas: Project Area 1 - Cargo Apron Reconstruction, and Project Area 2

- Replacement for Runway 9-27 with a Taxiway. Note that pavement marking improvements are also proposed for Project Area 1. Also, airfield signage panel replacements are proposed for

Project Area 2 which are located south of Taxiway A4. The full extents of the project are shown in plan Sheets G101 & G102 - Project Layout, Access, and Staging Plan which are attached as

Appendix A. Project Area 1 will be partially funded by an FDOT Strategic Intermodal System

(SIS) Grant. Project Area 2 will be funded by Passenger Facility Charges

(PFCs). Therefore, design and construction costs for each project area are being tracked separately. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) AIP Grant funding is not being pursued for

Figure 2 – Airport Diagram

PROJECT

AREA 1

Figure 1 – Vicinity Map

PROJECT

AREA 2

this project; therefore, the design schedule will not be dictated by the FAA AIP Grant application deadline.

Project Area 1 will reconstruct the existing asphalt pavement north of the Allegiant Airlines building. The existing Cargo Apron is mostly asphalt pavement, some of which overlays concrete.

However, there are also three (3) concrete hardstands. These pavement sections will be removed and reconstructed full depth with new light and heavy-duty concrete pavement sections.

Construction phasing will be used to maintain the use of at least one (1) aircraft parking position and maintain space for Allegiant Airlines ground support equipment (GSE) throughout construction. The apron will be designed for Airplane Design Group (ADG) III and IV aircraft to include the Airbus A319/A320 and three (3) types of ADG IV cargo aircraft. Project Area 1 will include:

• Existing Asphalt and concrete pavement demolition (13,200 SY)

• New concrete pavement (13,200 SY)

• Asphalt mill and overlay (1,600 SY)

• Drainage infrastructure adjustments

• New pavement markings to include:

o Re-striping of Pad 11 GSE and stop bar markings o Re-striping of lead-in lines for Pads 11-14 o Re-striping the non-movement line from Gate “P” extending to Pad 1A

• High-mast lighting and CCTV security camera improvements

For Project Area 2, decommissioned Runway 9-27 will be demolished between Taxiway B and

Runway 18-36. New Taxiways C and A4 will be constructed in generally the same area. The edge of pavement for Taxiway C will be designed for ADG III aircraft (A319/A320) – 50-ft wide with turfed shoulders. However, ADG IV / TDG 4 criteria will be used for the grading of the

Taxiway C safety area and object free area offsets in order to minimize future work if/when

Taxiway C is upgraded to ADG IV / TDG IV. Taxiway A4 will be designed to the same geometric standards as the other connector taxiways to Runway 18-36 (ADG V / TDG 5 and will include 30-ft paved shoulders. Construction phasing for Taxiway C will be required to minimize impact to

Taxiways A and B. Construction phasing for Taxiway A4 will be required to minimize impact to

Runway 18-36 and Taxiway A. Project Area 2 will include:

• Asphalt pavement demolition (37,700 SY) o This includes three different existing pavement sections.

• New asphalt pavement o Taxiway C (50-ft wide X 1,650-ft long) o Taxiway A4 (75-ft wide with 30-ft wide paved shoulders X 380-ft long)

• Drainage infrastructure adjustments / additions

• A new stormwater treatment pond o This will be a dry pond with underdrains and imported filter sand

• New pavement markings

• Airfield lighting and signage o New edge lights and signage for Taxiways C and A4 o Demolition and reconfiguration of existing edge lights and signage impacted by Taxiways C and A4 o Demolition of existing PAPI, edge lights, and underground conduits/cable for Runway 9-27 o Connection of Taxiway C and A4 lighting to Taxiway A North circuit.

o Replacing sign panels - Taxiways A4-A7 o Minor adjustments within the new airfield lighting vault o Airfield Lighting Control and Monitoring (ALCMS) updates

The construction of Taxiway C is an enabling project for a future planned east terminal concourse expansion.

IV. COORDINATION

CONTRACTOR PROGRESS MEETINGS

Construction Progress Meetings will be held on a weekly basis, or as required, with minutes recorded and issued to all stakeholders. Attendees shall include but not be limited to the Airport’s

Construction Manager, Contractor Project Manager, Contractor Safety and Security Officer

(CSSO), Airport Operations and FAA ATC Manager or representative. Items for discussion related to construction safety will include the following:

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

• Impacts to Operations

• 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 Airport or by unforeseen conditions, they shall be addressed accordingly, per contract requirements, and the CSPP will be updated to reflect the changes. Changes must be approved by the Airport.

FAA ATO COORDINATION

Air Traffic Operations (ATO) will coordinate with the FAA on all construction activities that impact operations on the Airport Operations Area (AOA). The AOA is defined as all areas used or intended 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 is divided into two (2) main phases. Phase 1 represents Project Area 1 and consists of two (2) subphases. Phase 2 represents Project Area 2 and the portion of Project Area 1 that consists of asphalt paving (Phase 2G) Phase 2 consists of the nine (9) subphases. Refer to the

Construction Phasing Plans attached as Appendix B for additional details.

The number of phases has been balanced to reduce impact to airport operations without significantly increasing construction cost or duration. Low-profile barricades will be used to close taxiway pavements for phases that impact the use of those taxiways. Runway closure X’s will be used to close Runway 18-36. Construction equipment will also need to cross Runway 18-36 to obtain on-airport borrow materials while working in several of the phases. Coordination will be required between the Contractor’s crossing guards and air traffic control to hold construction traffic prior to crossing active runways and taxiways.

Normal work hours will be Monday through Saturday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Nighttime and 24-hour work is also proposed for this project, with night working happening from 11:00 pm to 6:00

am. A summary of each subphase along with the respective durations, work hours, facility closures, and work elements can be found on Sheet G400 – Construction Phasing Plan (Overall) in Appendix B. Table 1 provides a summary of the construction durations.

Table 1 – Construction Durations Summary

Milestone Duration (Calendar Days)

Substantial Completion Duration (All Phases) 275

Final Completion (As-Builts, Punch List, and Closeout Documentation)

Total Construction Duration 315

Close coordination with Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT) personnel, Airport Operations and other users/tenants will be required during construction to communicate construction impacts to airfield facilities.

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 Sheets G101 & G102

- 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 runways, taxiways and apron gates. In addition, the project will impact the vehicle service road north of the Terminal and will require an adjustment of the access routes used by Airport and airline support vehicles. The Contractor will be required to provide sufficient barricades and signage to direct vehicle traffic to the appropriate areas.

• Closing of access routes used by Airport and airline support vehicles

• Interruption of 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 approach or departure surfaces from equipment heights in this project while Runway 18-

36 is open to Aircraft traffic.

• 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 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 through the RPR and issued by the Airport.

• Temporary changes to runway and/or taxi operations- The affected runways, and 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 in

Appendix B. 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 due to the

Contractor’s negligence, 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. Locations of cabling and other underground utilities will be marked prior to beginning excavation.

• 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. However, there is existing NAVAID ductbank and cabling located within the footprint of the project. The ductbank will be clearly indicated on the Construction Documents and the Contractor will be required to perform a soft dig to locate the ductbank in the field prior to the starting work in that area.

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 Contract Layout Plan. No other access points shall be allowed unless approved by the RPR. All Contractor traffic authorized to enter the site shall be experienced in the route or guided by Contractor personnel. The Contractor shall be responsible for traffic control to and from the various construction areas on the site, and for the operation and security of the access gate to the site. A Contractor’s flagman or traffic control person shall monitor and coordinate all Contractor traffic at the access gate with Airport

Security. The Contractor shall not permit any unauthorized construction personnel or traffic on the site. Access gates to the site shall be locked and always secured when not attended by the

Contractor. If the Contractor chooses to leave any access gate open, it shall be attended by badged Contractor personnel who are familiar with the requirements of the Airport Security

Program. The Contractor is responsible for the immediate cleanup of any debris deposited along the access route because of his construction traffic. Directional signing from the access gate along the delivery route to the storage area, plant site or work site shall be as directed by the RPR. In addition, the following requirements are applicable:

• All Contractor traffic authorized to travel on the Airport shall have been briefed as part of the

Contractor's construction safety and security orientation program, be thoroughly familiar with the access procedures and route for travel or be escorted by personnel authorized by the

Contractor’s CSSO.

• The Contractor shall install work-site identification signs at the authorized access point(s). If in the opinion of the RPR, directional signs are needed for clarity, they shall be installed along the route authorized for access to each construction site.

• Under no circumstance will Contractor personnel be permitted to drive their individually owned vehicles to any construction site on the Airport. All vehicles must be parked in the area designated for employee parking and outside of secured airport property.

• In addition to the inspection and cleanup required at the end of each shift, the Contractor is responsible for the immediate cleanup of any debris generated along the construction site access route(s) as a result of construction-related traffic or operations whether or not created by Contractor personnel.

LOCATION OF STOCKPILED CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS

Stockpiled material shall be secured against displacement by aircraft engine and propeller blast and ambient winds. Stockpiled materials and equipment storage shall not be permitted within an active Runway Safety Area (RSA) or Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ) nor will it be permitted within the

Object Free Area (OFA) of an active runway or taxiway. Maximum height of stockpiled material shall not exceed the maximum heights indicated on the plans.

VEHICLE AND PEDESTRIAN OPERATIONS

Contractor site parking

No employee vehicles shall be parked in the staging areas shown in the plans. Employees shall park personal vehicles off Airport property and shall be transported to and from the work areas via 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, and approved by the Airport and

RPR, the equipment must be well lit and approved by the Airport and RPR. 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 150/5210-5, Painting, Marking and Lighting of Vehicles Used on an Airport. All Contractor 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. The Contractor’s name shall be clearly affixed on each side of such vehicles and equipment, all in accordance with current Airport requirements.

The Contractor shall establish and maintain a list of Contractor and Subcontractor vehicles authorized to operate on the site. Contractor employee vehicles shall be restricted to landside parking and are not allowed in the Airport Operations Area (AOA) at any time. To be authorized to operate on the Airport, each Contractor or Subcontractor’s vehicle shall:

• Be marked/flagged for high daytime visibility and lighted for nighttime operations.

Vehicles that are not marked and/or lighted shall be escorted by a vehicle appropriately marked and/or lighted. Vehicles requiring escort shall be identified on the list.

• 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 be identified on the 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 RPR, any vehicle is operated in a manner not fully consistent with this requirement, the RPR 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.

Required Escorts

Contractor employees requiring access onto the AOA shall be required to obtain photo-type

Contractor Security Identification Display Area (SIDA) identification badges from the Airport.

Employees requiring SIDA badges shall be required to take a SIDA training class and pass a FBI criminal background check. All fees associated with obtaining a SIDA 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.

Training

Authorization for unescorted access within the AOA requires employees to successfully complete the SIDA 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 St.

Pete-Clearwater (PIE) Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF) - 118.3 when the Tower is closed and Ground Control Frequency – 121.9 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. The Contractor shall be responsible for the security of all gates utilized by the Contractor. As directed by the

Airport, locks shall be placed on each gate used by the Contractor. The locks must be marked in a manner showing company ownership and two sets of keys provided to the Airport. The gates shall be locked at all times or monitored by badged Contractor personnel. 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 and contractor identification badges on their outer garments in such areas at all times to permit ready recognition by Airport Security. The Contractor’s employees, whether issued Airport security badges or not, must have a valid governmental identification on their person at all times.

Failure to comply with these requirements will result in the employee being escorted off the AOA 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 shall certify to the Airport that such checks were conducted and are on file in the

Contractor's office for inspection by the Federal Aviation Administration.

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 AOA and may be cited by the Airport. In addition, the person may have their identification badge revoked.

IX. WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT

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 hazardous wildlife are not to be used on the airport. Disturbed areas or areas in need of re-vegetating should not be planted with seed mixtures containing millet or any other large-seed producing grass. The Contractor will be required to maintain all vegetation within the delineated project area to a height not exceeding 8 inches (or whatever is determined to be reasonable for that area).

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.

X. FOREIGN OBJECT DEBRIS (FOD) MANAGEMENT

Loose materials shall be 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. Any debris observed by the Contractor shall be promptly collected and removed from AOA 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 covered 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 or dispersant 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 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.

XII. NOTIFICATION OF CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITIES

Points of Contact

Contractor shall provide and maintain a list of names and phone numbers for all parties affected by the project. Include emergency notification procedures. List on- duty and off-duty contact information for each individual including those responsible for emergency maintenance of Airport construction hazard lighting and barricades.

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, provide a 45-day minimum notice 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).

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 the RPR using the Construction

Project Daily Inspection Checklist – see Appendix C. An inspection will be conducted with

Airport Operations in attendance prior to opening any closed movement area to traffic. In addition, a Substantial Completion and Final Inspection will be performed with RPR, Airport

Staff, and the FAA.

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.

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 participate in negotiations leading to the imposition of restrictions on Airport operations in the affected areas. 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.

The Contractor may be required to pursue affected portions of the work on a continuous, 24-hour per day basis during construction of the various phases and sub-phases shown on the Plans and described in the Contract Documents (such as when runways or taxiways, aprons, service or access roadways, service gates are closed for operations or when hazards of any kind arise).

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 7 days 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 Runways

Contractor shall place a Lighted X Runway Closure Marker (RCM) at each end of the runway facing the approach. The Airport will provide two (2) RCMs to the Contractor for their use during a single runway closure. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining the RCMs for the duration of the project. This includes but is not limited to refilling the fuel tank and changing the oil.

Temporarily Closed Taxiways.

This project will require temporary and permanent runway and taxiway markings. Marking design is in accordance with FAA Advisory Circular (AC)

AC 150/5340-1M, Standards for Airport Markings, and Technical Specification Item P-620, “Runway and Taxiway Painting”.

FAA Advisory Circular 150/5340-18G, Standards for Airport Sign Systems, will be followed to re-designate the taxiways within the project limits. These changes dictate that almost every existing sign within the project limits will need to be replaced or modified to meet the new designations.

Contractor shall place barricades outside the safety area of runway/taxiway intersections, leading to any closed section. If the centerline markings will be reused in the same location upon reopening the taxiway the markings shall be painted over.

Temporarily Closed Lighting and NAVAIDS.

Temporary lighting or NAVAID closures shall be coordinated with Airport Operations a minimum of 7 days in advance.

XVIII. MARKING AND SIGNS FOR ACCESS ROUTES

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

G101 – 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, LIGHTING AND SIGNING

General

Hazard Marking, Lighting and Signing prevents aircraft from entering areas closed to aircraft and prevents construction personnel from entering areas open to aircraft.

Equipment

Portable floodlighting shall be provided as required, 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.

Red and blue lens, ground-mounted, taxiway marker lights, pavement markings, signs, lighted barricades and other measures shall be installed and maintained on a 24-hour basis by the

Contractor to delineate construction areas available to the Contractor and limits of aircraft operational areas. At the conclusion of each working day, the Contractor shall verify that the temporary lighting systems are in proper operation and good working condition. Any necessary maintenance repairs shall be performed by the Contractor prior to leaving the site.

The detailed layout of marking, lights, signs, barricades and other measures and attendant operational procedures shall be inspected by the RPR and 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 or any other work which revises operational procedures in each affected area.

Connections to power supply for all temporary lighting systems shall be performed by the

Contractor under the direction of the RPR and Airport Maintenance Division. Maintenance of all temporary lighting systems shall be performed by the Contractor, including nighttime trouble shooting of temporary lighting connected to any airfield system.

Lights and signs for temporarily closed runways and taxiways shall be deactivated within the work area. Mandatory runway holding position signs shall remain lit when the runway is closed. 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.

The Contractor shall be required to provide, maintain and install temporary lighting and signage systems for all the existing systems that are removed or deactivated during construction that are required to be in operation at the end of each work period.

Barricades

The Contractor shall install lighting, marking, Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) Type

II barricades, low-profile barricades, and lighted runway closure “X” equipment, signs, and other measures to delineate closed and hazardous areas during construction. The guidance and procedures provided by FAA AC 150/5340- 1M, Standards for Airport Markings, shall be utilized and as depicted on the Plans. 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, FDOT Type II barricades, 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.

Barricades will be placed around each phase or subphase of the work in accordance with the phasing plans and shall remain in place until completion of work in each phase. All locations shall be approved by the RPR.

XX. PROTECTION OF RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY SAFETY AREAS

Runway Safety Area (RSA)

No Construction activity, personnel, equipment or materials shall be permitted in the safety area of any active runway or above the height restrictions described herein and as shown in the plans at any time. The RSA dimensions may be temporarily adjusted if the runway is restricted to aircraft operations requiring an RSA that is equal to the RSA width and length beyond the runway ends available during construction, subject to approval by the FAA ATC and the Airport.

Runway Object Free Area (ROFA)

Construction, including excavations, may be permitted in the ROFA. However, equipment must be removed from the ROFA when not in use, and material should not be stockpiled in the ROFA.

Taxiway Safety Area (TSA)

No Construction activity, personnel, equipment or materials shall be permitted in the safety area of any active taxiway. 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.

Excavations.

Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the TSA while the taxiway is open.

If possible, backfill trenches before the taxiway is opened.
