Greater Orlando Aviation Authority Page 10 of 32

1. Temporary Changes to Runway and/or Taxi Operations. The Contractor must provide adequate notice to the OAR and Airfield Operations and obtain approval before a runway or a taxiway is completely closed.

2. Detours for ARFF and other Airport Vehicles. It is imperative that emergency vehicles have access to all areas on the airport and that ARFF personnel are advised of construction activities and airfield closures so that they may alter their proposed routes to specific areas on the airfield.

3. Maintenance of Essential Utilities. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to contact all utility owners for all utilities that are located within the Project limits. See list of utility contacts on Contract Document’s Drawing Sheet IS0.0.02. The Contractor shall locate all utilities within the project limits whether shown on the contract drawings or not, and support and protect them from damage. Prior to performing any site work, the Contractor shall supply to the OAR a comprehensive checklist of utility facility owner’s contacts including: telephone number, contact name, date contacted and date utility was flagged at site. Construction activities shall not commence until the comprehensive utility locates checklist is approved by the OAR and written approval is granted by the OAR.

Additionally, prior to any work proceeding at the Project site(s), the Contractor shall flag or paint the location of all utilities (water, sewer, FAA cables, reclaimed water, power, telephone, fuel, gas, and all others) in the field that are located within the proximity of the work limits of this Project in order to locate any possible conflicts. The Contractor shall provide written approval that flagged locations of utilities have been completed to the OAR prior to proceeding with construction activities.

Various direct buried FAA and other airport/utility cables may pass through the work area.

Some of these cables serve FAA facilities (such as NAVAIDs) and other airport facilities which are critical for the safe operation of the airport. It is of the utmost importance that damage to these cables be prevented. Cable locations shown on the plans are based upon the best information available but are not precise. Scaling dimensional data from the contract drawings is specifically prohibited. Dimensional data necessary for the construction of the project has been provided on the contract drawings. The Contractor shall keep the OAR informed of their excavation plans at least fourteen (14) working days in advance. The OAR shall notify the FAA and request that existing cables be staked in the field. The Contractor is responsible to coordinate with all other utility owners. The Contractor shall maintain all cable locates marked in the field. Even after the cables are staked, the Contractor shall use electronic detection devices and carefully hand excavate to locate cables. After cables are located, Contractor shall specify exact locations (stationing, offset, elevation and type of cable) and shall accurately measure and record their location data on the As-Built drawings. Copies of this measurement and recording of the data shall be considered an important part of the contract requirements. When encasing existing FAA cables in split duct or otherwise excavating in their vicinity, Contractor shall hand dig and use extreme caution to avoid damaging cables. All damage, even if superficial, shall be reported to the OAR. In many cases superficial cable nicks may be inexpensively repaired, but if not repaired will lead to failure of the cable. The OAR shall make the determination if repair or replacement of the damaged utility is necessary.

Replacement shall be at the OAR's sole discretion. All repair methods must be acceptable to the FAA and documented as such by OAR. All repairs shall be made at the Contractor's expense. See the electrical related requirements of this contract for additional utility protection requirements.

2.3 Navigation Aid (NAVAID) Protection. Before commencing construction activities, parking vehicles, or storing construction equipment and materials near a NAVAID, the Contractor shall coordinate, through the OAR, with the FAA ATCT to evaluate the effect of construction activity and the required distance and direction from the NAVAID. Construction activities, materials/equipment storage, and vehicle parking near electronic NAVAIDs require special consideration since they may interfere with signals essential to air navigation. When Runway 18R-36L is operational, all of its associated NAVAIDs shall be operational. The Contractor will not be permitted within the critical areas of active NAVAIDs. The operational critical areas of NAVAIDs are graphically delineated on the project drawings. The stockpiling of construction material, as well as to movement and parking of construction equipment shall not be permitted in areas where these materials or equipment may interfere with line of sight from the FAA ATCT or with electronic emissions devices. Interference from construction equipment and activities may require NAVAIDs shutdown or adjustment of instrument approach minimums for low visibility operations. If these conditions are required a NOTAM will be needed per Paragraph 2.8. All construction activities and materials/equipment stored near NAVAIDs must not obstruct access to the equipment and instruments for maintenance by GOAA/FAA personnel.

The Contractor is solely responsible for locating all existing utilities within the project limits. Prior to initiation of any construction in the field, the Contractor shall provide a written notice (return receipt requested) to each of the utility companies listed on Contract Drawing IS0.0.02, along with the various GOAA Airfield Departments and Florida Sunshine One Call as prescribed by state law. The Contractor shall provide the OAR with a copy of the receipt of said written notification to each of the utility companies or GOAA Airfield Departments. This requirement is in addition to any other state laws regarding public notification prior to excavation.

2.4 Contractor Access. All construction personnel shall regularly be reminded that within the AOA, an aircraft always has “the Right-Of-Way”. The Contractor personnel shall familiarize themselves with the access routes and remember at all times that, “keeping people and vehicles from areas of the airport where they don’t belong is each Contractor personnel’s responsibility”. The Project Pipe Routing and Contractor Staging Area Sheets C35.0.06 and C35.0.07A identifies the proposed routes that the Contractor shall utilize to access the project work areas and the Contractor’s Staging and Storage Area.

A. Location of Stockpiled Construction Materials. The locations of the stockpiles shall be approved by the OAR and the Airport. Stockpiled materials are not permitted in the Safety Area, Object Free Area or Obstacle Free Zone of an active runway or taxiway. At the onset of the project, the Contractor, through the OAR, shall confirm that FAA Form 7460-1 “Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration”, for this project is approved and on record. The Contractor must ensure that stockpiled materials and equipment adjacent to these areas are prominently marked and lighted during hours of restricted visibility or darkness. This includes determining and verifying that materials are stabilized and stored at an approved location so as not to be a hazard to aircraft operations and to prevent attraction of wildlife and foreign object damage. All FOD resulting from stockpiled materials shall be removed and cleaned immediately.

The height of all stockpiled materials within the AOA shall be limited to 20 feet unless authorized by the OAR and the Airport.

B. Vehicle and Pedestrian Operations. Vehicle and pedestrian access to the airport secure area must be controlled to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized entry of persons, vehicles, or animals onto the AOA. The Contractor should coordinate requirements for vehicle operations

Greater Orlando Aviation Authority Page 14 of 32 with airport operations. In regard to vehicle and pedestrian operations, the CSPP outlines the following details and its associated training requirements:

1. Construction Site Parking. Contractor employees shall park in an area designated and approved by the OAR and Airport to prevent any unauthorized entry of persons or vehicles onto the AOA. Only authorized vehicles will be permitted in the secure area. All parked vehicles should be at least 8 feet away from any fencing.

2. Construction Equipment Parking. Contractor must park and service all construction vehicles in an area designated by the OAR and Airfield Operations outside the Obstacle Free Zone and never in the Safety Area of an active runway or taxiway, or in the Object Free Area of an active taxiway. Unless a complex setup procedure makes movement of specialized equipment infeasible, inactive equipment must not be parked on a closed runway of taxiway. If it is necessary to leave specialized equipment on a closed taxiway or runway at night, the equipment must be well lighted. Contractor should park all construction vehicles outside the object free area of an active runway or an active taxiway when not in use by construction personnel (for example, overnight, on weekends, or during other periods when construction is not active). Equipment/vehicles parking areas must not obstruct the clear line of sight by the ATCT to any runways, taxiways, taxilanes or aprons under air traffic control nor obstruct any runway visual aids, signs, or navigation aids. The FAA must also study those areas to determine effects on airport design criteria, surfaces established by 14 CFR Part 77, Safe, Efficient Use, and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace (Part 77), and on NAVAIDs and Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP). See Paragraph 213.E (1) for further information.

3. Access and Haul Roads. The Project Pipe Routing Plan and Staging Area Sheets C35.0.06 and C35.0.07A shows the location of the Contractor’s access to the construction site and the proposed haul routes. The Contractor shall not utilize any access roads or haul routes other than those that are approved. Access routes used by Contractor vehicles must be clearly marked to prevent confusion and/or inadvertent entry to areas open to airport operations. Pay special attention to ensure that if construction traffic is to share or cross any ARFF routes that ARFF right of way is not impeded at any time, and that construction traffic on haul routes does not interfere with NAVAIDs or approach surfaces of operational AOA features.

4. Marking and lighting of vehicles. Marking and lighting of vehicles shall be in accordance with FAA AC 150/5210-5 “Painting, Marking, and Lighting of Vehicles Used on an Airport” (Latest Edition), and per requirements outlined in the construction documents.

5. Description of proper Vehicle Operations. Contractor employees shall take training classes to properly prepare themselves to drive in authorized areas, under normal, lost communications, and emergency conditions.

6. Required Escorts. Vehicles that are not authorized to drive in the secure airport area on their own shall be properly escorted in accordance with GOAA requirements by approved Contractor personnel.

7. Training Requirements for Vehicle Drivers. Specific training should be provided to those vehicle operators providing escorts to ensure compliance with GOAA vehicle rules and regulations. See FAA AC 150/5210-20 “Ground Vehicle Operations on Airports” (Latest Edition), for information on training and records maintenance requirements. All Contractor vehicles shall obey the speed limits posted on the AOA roads. All vehicles traveling on

Greater Orlando Aviation Authority Page 15 of 32 haul routes, closed runways and taxiways shall not drive faster than 25 mph and/or maximum GOAA speed limits.

8. Situational Awareness. Vehicle drivers must confirm by personal observation that no aircraft is approaching their position (either in the air or on the ground) when given clearance by the FAA Air Traffic Control Tower to cross a runway, taxiway, or any other area open to aircraft operations. In addition, it is the responsibility of the escort vehicle driver or flagmen to verify the movement/position of all escorted vehicles at any given time.

9. Two-way radio communication procedures.

a. General. The Contractor and their personnel must understand the critical importance of maintaining radio contact, as directed by the airport, from and with the FAA ATCT.

The Contractor must ensure that personnel engaged in activities involving unescorted operations within AOA observe the proper procedures for communications, and are properly trained in performing these duties, including using appropriate radio frequencies, for the FAA ATCT. All Contractor vehicles that are required to access or cross active taxiways shall do so under the direct control of flagmen in radio contact with the FAA ATCT. Flagmen shall be trained and instructed by Airfield Operations in the regulations governing operations on the AOA and radio procedures at the airport, pass a written test, and receive approval in writing. Flagmen shall remain with their vehicle or monitor vehicle crossing at all times. Flagmen and radios shall be furnished by the Contractor. The radios shall operate on a common frequency approved by Airfield Operations and the OAR. It shall be understood by the Contractor that airport traffic on runways, taxiways, taxilanes and aprons shall have priority over Contractor's traffic. Contractor must notify the FAA ATCT and Airfield Operations before any flagging activity begins each day and when the flagging activity ends each day.

b. Areas requiring two-way radio communication with the FAA ATCT. Vehicular traffic crossing active aircraft movement areas must be controlled either by an authorized Airport escort or authorized flagmen, who must be in direct contact with the ATCT via a two-way radio communication capability with the ATCT.

c. Frequencies to be used. Airfield Operations will provide the Contractor with the correct radio frequencies to be utilized for the project. All Contractor personnel expected to utilize these frequencies should tape the frequency numbering to the vehicles dash board so they do not forget.

d. The Contractor must be trained in proper radio usage, including read back requirements.

e. The Contractor must be trained in proper phraseology, including the International Phonetic Alphabet.

10. Maintenance of the Secured Area of the Airport, including:

a. Fencing and Gates. Contractor must maintain security during construction when access points are created in the security fencing to permit the passage of construction vehicles or personnel. Temporary gates should be equipped so they can be securely closed and locked to prevent access by animals, and unauthorized people and vehicles. Procedures should be in place to ensure that only authorized persons and vehicles have access to the AOA and to prohibit “piggybacking” behind another person or vehicle. The Department of Transportation (DOT) document

Greater Orlando Aviation Authority Page 16 of 32

DOT/FAA/AR-00/52, Recommended Security Guidelines for Airport Planning and Construction, provides more specific information on fencing. A copy of this document can be obtained from the Airport Consultants Council, Airports Council International, or American Association of Airport Executives.

b. Badging Requirements. Contractor shall comply with Section 00 80 13 of the Contract Documents Specifications for meeting badging requirements of this project.

GOAA issued identification/access badges are required for this project. The airport ID program is under constant review by the FAA and Transportation Security Administration (TSA) whose authority and all contemporary requirements shall govern. The Contractor shall assign a Contractor Safety Officer(s) as the point(s) of contact for all identification and badging requirements.

While Contractor personnel are in the Security Identification Display Areas (SIDA) they must have their GOAA approved badges visible at all time, on the outermost garment of clothing and about their waists. If Contractor personnel are being escorted by approved escorts, the escort and escorted personnel must stay within close proximity of each other.

c. MCO is subject to 49 CFR Part 1542 “Airport Security”, and is in compliance of the standards for access control, movement of ground vehicles, and identification of construction Contractor and tenant personnel. The Contractor shall comply with all requirements established by GOAA and/or amended due to revisions implanted by the FAA regulations throughout the duration of the construction of this project.

2.5 Wildlife Management. The CSPP and SPCD shall be in accordance with the airport operator’s wildlife hazard management plan, if applicable. See FAA AC 150/5200-33 “Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or Near Airports”, and Certalert 98-05, Grasses Attractive to Hazardous Wildlife. The Contractor must carefully control and continuously remove waste or loose materials that might attract wildlife. Surrounding the entire perimeter of the MCO AOA, there is security fencing in place to eliminate and minimize wildlife from encroaching into the AOA. Contractor personnel must be aware of and avoid construction activities that can create wildlife hazards on airports, such as:

A. Trash. Food scraps must be collected from constructor personnel activity. All trash resulting from food shall be securely placed in Contractor vehicles or trash cans, such that the trash does not fly away or enter the AOA.

B. Standing Water. Water shall not be allowed to collect and pool, within construction areas of this Project, for more than any single 24-hour period unless as depicted on the drainage related contract drawings.

C. Tall Grass and Seeds. The use of millet seed and turfing operations shall not be permitted.

The typical requirement is to place T-904 Sodding, per Contract Documents, on all earthwork areas that were disturbed by the Project.

D. Poorly Maintained Fencing and Gates. Contractor must maintain security during construction when access points are created in the security fencing to permit the passage of construction vehicles or personnel. All gates and fencing within the vicinity of the project are required to be checked by the Contractor. Airfield Operations also conducts random checks to ensure that none of the existing gates are poorly maintained or monitored. All Contractor discrepancies pointed out by the OAR and Airfield Operations shall be immediately corrected by the Contractor.

Greater Orlando Aviation Authority Page 17 of 32

E. Disruption of Existing Wildlife Habitat. The Contractor personnel should immediately notify the OAR of wildlife sightings.

2.6 Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Management. Waste and loose materials, commonly referred to as FOD, are capable of causing damage to aircraft landing gears, propellers, and jet engines. The Contractor must not leave or place FOD on or near active aircraft movement areas. Materials capable of creating FOD must be continuously removed during the construction of the project. Prior to accessing the construction site, the Contractors shall inspect their vehicles (i.e., tires, truck beds, construction equipment, etc.) to ensure that nothing can fall/fly off of them to create potential FOD hazards.

If FOD is observed, the material shall be removed immediately by the Contractor. The OAR may direct that debris problems during construction, not corrected by the Contractor, be corrected by others at the expense of the Contractor. The Contractor shall have power brooms and automatic motorized vacuum equipment with drivers available on site at all times. Cleaning equipment shall be suitable for cleaning construction debris from the pavement.

Contractor shall also have water trucks with drivers available to control dust when informed by Airfield Operations and OAR. Excessive dust can cause pilot confusion due to the loss of line of sight.

2.7 Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Management. The Contractor operating construction vehicles and equipment on the airport must be prepared to expeditiously contain and clean-up spills resulting from fuel or hydraulic fluid leaks. Transport and handling of other hazardous materials on an airport also requires special procedures. See FAA AC 150/5320-15 “Management of Airport Industrial Waste” (Latest Edition). The Contractor shall develop and implement spill prevention and response procedures for vehicle operations.

2.8 Notification of Construction Activities. The CSPP details procedures for the immediate notification of airport users and the FAA of any conditions adversely affecting the operational safety of the airport. It must address the notification actions described below, as applicable.

B. NOTAMs. Only the Airfield Operations may initiate or cancel NOTAMs on airport conditions, and is the only entity that can close or open an AOA feature. Airfield Operations shall coordinate the issuance, maintenance, and cancellation of NOTAMs about airport conditions resulting from construction activities, maintenance, tenants and FAA ATCT, and must provide information on closed or hazardous conditions on airport movement areas to the FAA Flight Service Station (FSS) so it can issue a NOTAM. The airport operator must file and maintain a list of authorized representatives with the FSS. See FAA AC 150/5200-28 “Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) for Airport Operators”, for a sample NOTAM form. Only the FAA may issue or cancel NOTAMs or shutdown or irregular operation of FAA owned facilities. Any person having reason to believe that a NOTAM is missing, incomplete, or inaccurate must notify the airport operator.

During the design phases, Airfield Operations will be notified of potential AOA features that will be impacted during the actual construction of the project. At the onset of construction

Greater Orlando Aviation Authority Page 19 of 32 activities, the Contractor shall provide a tentative schedule, through the OAR, to Airfield Operations regarding all potential AOA features that will require a closure or multiple closures throughout the construction of the project. The Contractor shall submit specific closure requests for runway(s), taxiway(s) or other AOA features well in advance of the planned closures at the Monday Morning Airfield Operations Construction Coordination Meetings. Any NOTAMs required shall be coordinated with Airfield Operations, through the OAR, at least two

(2) weeks in advance of the actual closure.

C. Emergency notification procedures for medical, fire fighting, and police response. All life or death related emergency situations will require the Contractor or Contractor personnel to contact the Police or “911”. The Police Dispatch will notify the appropriate agencies required for the handling of the emergency. The Contractor shall also contact the OAR and Airfield Operations of all such matters.

D. Coordination with ARFF. The Contractor shall have a plan of action for coordinating, through the OAR, with ARFF personnel, mutual aid providers, and other emergency services if construction requires:

1. The deactivation and subsequent reactivation of water lines or fire hydrants;

2. The rerouting, blocking and restoration of emergency access routes; or,

3. The use of hazardous materials on the airfield.

The MCO ARFF may be contacted using the information provided under Paragraph 2.8.

E. Notification to the FAA

1. Part 77. All Contractor construction activities or alteration of objects that will affect the navigable airspace, as defined in Part 77, must be identified and approved by the OAR, Airfields Operations and the FAA. This includes construction equipment and proposed parking areas for their equipment (i.e. cranes, graders, other equipment) on airports.
