About this file
This is a Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) document prepared by Century West Engineering for the Oregon Department of Aviation's Independence State Airport PAPI Replacement project (AIP No. 3-41-0027-012-2026). The project involves the removal of existing Precision Approach Path Indicator (PAPI) fixtures and installation of new PAPI fixtures on existing foundations at Independence State Airport in Independence, Oregon. The work is anticipated to begin in fall 2026 and will be completed within a single phase requiring six consecutive calendar days for substantial completion. All construction work will occur during a runway closure of Runway 16-34, with the contractor required to provide written notice to the Engineer and Airport Manager at least 14 calendar days in advance of construction commencement. A preconstruction conference will be held before the Notice to Proceed is issued, and weekly coordination meetings will be required throughout the project duration. The project is overseen by the Oregon Department of Aviation (Owner), with Century West Engineering serving as the Engineer and James Kirby, PE as Senior Project Manager.
The CSPP establishes comprehensive safety procedures, phasing requirements, and operational protocols to maintain aviation safety during construction activities. The contractor must prepare and submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) for Engineer approval a minimum of 14 days prior to the Notice to Proceed. Key requirements include mandatory airport safety training and radio communication procedures for all contractor personnel, maintenance of designated haul routes and staging areas, implementation of barricade and closure marking systems using low-level barricades with flashing red lights and yellow runway closure crosses, and strict Foreign Object Debris (FOD) management protocols. The contractor is responsible for all costs associated with temporary equipment, safety measures, materials, and site restoration, with no separate payment for safety-related work items considered incidental to the contract. Construction activities are restricted to daylight hours unless emergency situations or project sequencing requires nighttime work with prior Engineer approval and Owner clearance. The document incorporates FAA Advisory Circulars 150/5300-13B and 150/5370-2G standards and requires coordination with FAA personnel, including notification to the FAA Western Service Center (1-206-231-2420) for NAVAID shutdowns and NOTAMs to be issued no later than 72 hours prior to runway closure.

Construction activities within the TSA are subject to the following conditions:
i. No activity (including construction) may occur within the TSA of WA#1 while the taxiway is open for aircraft operations.
ii. The TSA width will not be adjusted for the proposed project.
iii. Excavations
a. Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the TSA while the taxiway is open. Excavations are to be backfilled before the taxiway is reopened.
40097.141.01 | April 2026 | Page 15
b. If required by Airport Operations, construction contractors must prominently mark open trenches and excavations at the construction site with red or orange flags, as approved by the airport operator, and light them with red lights during hours of restricted visibility or darkness.
iv. Soil erosion must be controlled to maintain TSA standards, that is, the TSA 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 occasionally passage of aircraft without causing structural damage to the aircraft.
d. Taxiway Object Free Area (TOFA). Unlike the Runway Object Free Area, aircraft wings regularly penetrate the taxiway object free area during normal operations. Thus, the restrictions are more stringent. No construction may occur within the taxiway object free area while the taxiway is open for aircraft operations.
The Independence State Airport TOFA has a width of 89’
e. Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ). Personnel, material, and/or equipment may not penetrate the OFZ while the runway is open for aircraft operations.
The Independence State Airport OFZ is penetrated by existing objects.
Runway 16-34 250’ in width, 3,402’ in length
f. Runway Approach/Departure Areas and Clearways. All personnel, materials, and/or equipment must remain clear of the applicable threshold siting surfaces, as defined in
Appendix 2, “Threshold Siting Requirements,” of AC 150/5300-13B, Airport Design, latest addition and changes.
18. Other Limitations on Construction
a. Prohibitions
i. No use of tall equipment (cranes, concrete pumps, etc.) unless a 7460-1 determination letter is issued for such equipment. A 7460-1 determination letter shall be submitted timely for the use of tall equipment.
ii. No use of open flame, welding, or torches unless fire safety precautions are provided and the airport operator has approved their use.
iii. No use of electrical blasting caps on or within 1,000 ft. (300 m) of the airport property.
40097.141.01 | April 2026 | Page 16
