Construction Safety and Phasing Plan Summary
This document is a Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) prepared by AVCON, Inc. for Daytona Beach International Airport's Taxiway P3 and P4 Improvements project, located in Daytona Beach, Florida. The project involves improvements to Taxiway P and realignment of Taxiways P3 and P4 to meet FAA Advisory Circular 150/5300-13B standards, encompassing mill and overlay operations, new taxiway construction in widening areas, demolition, drainage improvements, earthwork, paving, turfing, taxiway and runway surface markings, taxiway edge lights, and signage installation. The phasing plan includes four phases: Phase 0 (60 days) for contractor project setup; Phase 1 (90 days) for closure of Taxiway P9 with milling, paving, earthwork, sodding, temporary markings, and airfield lighting; Phase 2 (45 days) for closure of Taxiway P between P4 and P5, and Taxiway B2; Phase 3 (21 days) for closure of Runway 7L-25R and Taxiways P3 and P4; and a 30-day punch list closure period. A mandatory pre-bid conference was scheduled for April 2, 2026, with bid submissions due by 3:00 PM on April 24, 2026, with substantial completion required within 216 days after Notice to Proceed and final completion within 246 days.
The CSPP establishes comprehensive safety requirements and operational procedures applicable to all construction activities, addressing contractor access routes, vehicle operations with emphasis on airfield safety protocols, coordination with Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) personnel, Foreign Object Debris (FOD) management, hazardous materials handling, wildlife management, navigation aid (NAVAID) protection, utility protection procedures, and daily safety inspections. The plan mandates weekly coordination meetings with the FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO), immediate notification procedures for unsafe conditions via NOTAMs, and the requirement for the selected contractor to submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) supplementing this CSPP prior to construction commencement. Critical restrictions include prohibitions on tall equipment exceeding 25 feet in height without FAA Form 7460-1 approval, no open flame welding or torches without airport operator approval, no electrical blasting caps within 1,000 feet of airport property, and zero tolerance for FOD with potential penalties up to $11,000 per security incident from TSA. The estimated construction cost is $4,851,000.00, with project funding from the County of Volusia, Florida, subject to federal compliance requirements including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, Buy American preferences, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation under 49 CFR Part 26, and comprehensive insurance coverage requirements including $1,000,000 per occurrence General Liability and $1,000,000 Auto Liability, with five percent retainage withheld pursuant to Florida Statute 255.078.

BACKGROUND
AVCON, Inc. (AVCON) was contracted to develop the Construction Safety and Phasing
Plan (CSPP), as regulated by FAA Advisory Circular (FAA AC) /1505370-2G “Operational
Safety on Airports During Construction” for the Taxiway P3 and P4 Improvements project.
In addition, AVCON will also provide an outline for the Safety Plan Compliance Document
(SPCD) which will be completed by the awarded Contractor for the construction of this project. The requirement for development of the CSPP and SPCD is mandatory for airport construction projects receiving funds under the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) or the
Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program. This project is not receiving funds through the
AIP or PFC. However, as this project is occurring on airport property, the Airport Operator has required the project sponsor to submit a CSPP and SPCD. At a minimum the CSPP shall provide the following:
1. Identification of the affected areas.
2. Description of current or existing operational conditions.
3. Guidelines for temporary changes to operational conditions due to project(s).
4. Taking action to revise operational conditions due to project(s).
5. Managing of safety risk by determining appropriate level of Safety Risk Management
(SRM) documentation.
SCOPE OF WORK
The Taxiway P3 and P4 Improvements project involves improvements to Taxiway P and realigning Taxiways P3 and P4 to meets the standards of FAA AC 150/5300-13B. The project will require mill and overlay, as well as new taxiway construction in areas of widening. The construction activities include demolition, drainage, earthwork, paving, turfing, taxiway and runway surface markings, taxiway edge lights, and signage.
The project was designed to meet the criteria set forth in the latest Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA) approved Master Plan and Airport Layout Plan (ALP), as well as
FAA Advisory Circular (AC) 150/5300-13B, Change 1, Airport Design.
CHAPTER 1. PLANNING AN AIRFIELD CONSTRUCTION PROJECT
OVERVIEW
Airports are complex environments. Procedures and conditions associated with construction activities often affect aircraft operations and can jeopardize operational safety. Safety considerations are paramount and may make operational impacts unavoidable. However, careful planning, scheduling, and coordination of construction activities can minimize disruption of normal aircraft operations and avoid situations that compromise the airport’s operational safety. The Airport operator must understand how construction activities and aircraft operations affect one another in order to be able to develop an effective plan to complete the project.
Every project must plan for Safety. Safety, maintaining aircraft operations, and construction costs are all interrelated. Since safety must not be compromised, the Airport operator must strike a balance between maintaining aircraft operations and construction costs. This balance will vary widely depending on the operational needs and resources of the Airport and will require early coordination with airport users and the FAA. As the project design progresses, the necessary construction locations, activities, and associated costs will be identified. As they are identified, their impact to airport operations must be assessed. Adjustments are made to the proposed construction activities, often by phasing the project, and/or to airport operations in order to maintain operational safety.
This planning effort will ultimately result in a project Construction Safety and Phasing Plan
(CSPP).
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY DURING CONSTRUCTION?
The Airport operator must establish a Safety Culture on the airport. Everyone has a role in operational safety on airports during construction: the Airport operator; the airport’s consultants; the construction contractor and subcontractors; airport users; airport tenants;
ARFF personnel; Air Traffic personnel, including Technical Operations personnel; FAA
Airports Division personnel; and others. Close communication and coordination among all affected parties is the key to maintaining safe operations. Such communication and coordination starts at the project scoping meeting and continues through the completion of the project. The Airport operator and Contractor must continuously conduct onsite safety inspections throughout the project and immediately remedy any deficiencies, whether caused by negligence, oversight, or project scope change.
CHAPTER 2. CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING PLANS
SECTION 1. BASIC CONSIDERATIONS
201 Overview
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 used 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.
They must provide all information necessary for DAB Airport Operations to conduct airfield inspections and expeditiously identify and correct unsafe conditions during construction.
All aviation safety provisions included within the project drawings, contract specifications, and other related documents must also be reflected in the CSPP and SPCD.
202 Assume Responsibility
Operational safety on the Airport remains the Airport operator’s responsibility at all times.
The Airport operator must develop, certify, and submit a CSPP for FAA approval. It is the
Airport operator’s responsibility to apply the requirements of the FAA approved CSPP. The
Airport operator must revise the CSPP when conditions warrant changes and must submit the revised CSPP to the FAA for approval. The Airport operator must also require and approve a SPCD from the project contractor prior to any construction activity.
203 Submit the CSPP
Construction Safety and Phasing Plans were developed concurrently with the project design. The Safety and Phasing Plan were completed in 22 x 34 in format for compatibility with the FAA’s Obstruction Evaluation / Airport Airspace Analysis (OE / AAA) process.
204 CSPP and SPCD Requirements
A. To the extent possible, the CSPP shall address the items outlined in Chapter 2
Section 2.4 “Meet CSPP Requirements” of the FAA AC 150/5370-2G
“Operational Safety on Airports During Construction”. These items are included in this CSPP report and shall be included (by the contractor) in the SPCD.
B. The Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) shall include a statement by the construction Contractor that he/she has read and will abide by the CSPP. In addition, the SPCD must include all supplemental information that could not be included in the CSPP prior to the contract award.
(1) The Contractor’s statement shall include the name of the Contractor, the title of the project CSPP, the approval date of the CSPP, and a reference to any supplemental information, a sample statement follows:
“I (Name of Contractor’s Contract Signee/Construction Company
Name), have read the (Name of Project) CSPP, approved on (Date), and will abide by it as written and with the following additions as noted:”
SECTION 2. PLAN REQUIREMENTS
205 Coordination
Airport operators, or tenants conducting construction on their leased properties, will use pre-design, pre-bid, and pre-construction conferences to introduce the subject of airport operational safety during construction (see AC 150/5370-13B). In addition, the following have been or will be coordinated as required:
A. Design Review meetings. The Design Team and airport staff met and discussed the project regularly to determine design objectives and project safety during construction.
B. Pre-Bid meeting. A pre-bid meeting will be held with potential bidders. Safety, phasing, the CSPP and the SPCD will be discussed at this meeting.
C. Pre-construction meeting. Safety will be discussed at the pre-construction meeting.
D. Contractor Progress Meetings. Operational safety shall be a standing agenda item for discussion during progress meetings throughout the project. The frequency of these meetings will most likely be weekly.
E. Scope or Schedule Changes. Changes in the scope or duration of the project may necessitate revisions to the CSPP. The Contractor shall revise the CSPP via the SCPD and submit to the Resident Project Representative (RPR) for review and approval by the FAA.
F. FAA ATO Coordination. The ATO will be included in the weekly construction meetings. Aircraft operations will be periodically impacted with the closure of taxilanes and taxiway connectors.
206 Phasing
The phasing plan for this project was developed to maintain the maximum operational efficiency of the Airport. For each project’s phase the CSPP identifies the requirements outlined in Paragraph 206 of FAA AC 150/5370-2 “Operational Safety on Airports During
Construction” (Latest Edition). The phasing plan was developed for the entire project.
A. Phase Elements.
The following table addresses the required elements of construction phasing:
Phase Element Days Location/Description
Phase 0 60 Contractor Project Setup Activities
Phase 1 90 Closure of Taxiway P9 for all milling, paving, earthwork, sodding, temporary markings, airfield lighting and all other associated construction activities.
Phase 2 45
Taxiway P between Taxiways P4 and P5, and Taxiway B2 will be closed for all milling, paving, earthwork, sodding, temporary markings, airfield lighting and all other associated construction activities.
Phase 3 21
Runway 7L-25R and Taxiways P3 and P4 will be closed for all milling, paving, earthwork, sodding, temporary markings, airfield lighting and all other associated construction activities
Punch List 30 Close Out
B. Construction Safety Drawings. Drawings specifically indicating operational safety procedures and methods in affected areas (that is, construction safety drawings) have been developed for each construction phase. These drawings are included in this CSPP as referenced attachments in Appendix A, and are included in the contract drawing package.
207 Areas and Operations Affected by Construction Activity
Runways and taxiways will remain in use by aircraft to the maximum extent possible without compromising safety. Pre-meetings with the FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO) will support operational simulations. The Operational Effects to the DAB AOA as a result of construction activities in each work area of this Project are discussed in this section.
A. Identification of Affected Areas. Identifying areas and operations affected by the construction will help to determine possible safety problems. The areas are identified in the construction safety drawings for each construction phase. Of particular concern are:
(1) Closing of taxiways. During phase 1, Taxiways P3, P4, and P west of
Taxiway B2 will be closed for 90 days. During phase 2, Taxiway P between Taxiways P5 and B1 will be closed for 45 days. During phase
3, Runway 7L-25R and Taxiways P3 and P4 will be closed for 45 days.
(2) Closing of Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting access routes. The
Contractor and DAB Airport Operations shall provide ARFF personnel with construction plans for each phase, for their information and review, so that any impact to the routing of emergency vehicles can be assessed. During construction, ARFF personnel will be notified of potential access routes and construction activities via Pre-
Construction and regular progress meetings. ARFF access is maintained at all times during construction as shown on the phasing plans.
(3) Closing of access routes used by airport and ground service vehicles.
The access routes closed due to this project and all potential alternative access routes for each work area to be used by airport and ground service vehicles shall be clearly marked and delineated with lighted barricades. All applicable Airport Tenants will be informed by the Airfield Operator or RPR.
(4) Interruption of utilities, including water supplies for firefighting.
Although no utility work is scheduled with this project, any proposed impacts to utilities that serve any airport facility shall be properly coordinated, through the RPR, with the appropriate airport facility that is to be impacted. Equipment exceeding 25 feet in height will require coordination by the Contractor and approval by the RPR.
Approach/departure surfaces affected by heights of objects. For this project, the departure surfaces will not be impacted due to construction equipment heights. At the onset of the project, the Contractor, through the RPR, shall confirm that the FAA Form 7460-1 “Notice of Proposed
Construction or Alteration,” for this project is approved. The Contractor vehicles and equipment will be limited to 25 feet height restriction throughout this project.
(5) Construction areas. The Project Haul Route and Staging Areas are shown on the Construction Plans and they indicate the approximate location of the access gates, proposed haul routes, and Contractor’s
Staging and Storage Area. The actual location of the haul route and the size and exact location of the staging area shall be established prior to construction with the approval of the RPR and the Airport.
B. Mitigation of Effects. Establishment of specific procedures is necessary to maintain the safety and efficiency of airport operations. During construction, the
Contractor shall coordinate closely with the RPR to establish and follow the specific procedures to maintain the safety and operational efficiency of the
Airport as established in the contract drawings.
(1) Detours for ARFF and other airport vehicles. Throughout construction, emergency vehicles will have access to all areas on the Airport and
ARFF personnel will be advised of construction activities and airfield closures so that they may adjust their proposed routes to specific areas on the airfield.
(2) Maintenance of essential utilities. This project is not anticipated to impact utilities. However, it shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to contact all utility owners for all utilities that are located within the project limits. 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. Construction activities shall not commence until the comprehensive utility locates checklist is approved by the
RPR and written approval is granted by the RPR.
Various direct buried FAA and other airport/utility cables 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 RPR informed of their excavation plans at least fourteen (14) working days in advance. The RPR shall notify the FAA and request that existing cables be staked in the field. The RPR shall make the determination if repair or replacement of the damaged utility is necessary. Replacement shall be at the RPR's sole discretion. All repair methods must be acceptable to the FAA and documented as such by RPR.
All repairs shall be made at the Contractor's expense. See the electrical related requirements of this contract for additional utility protection requirements.
(3) Temporary changes to air traffic control procedures. Such changes must be coordinated with the ATO. Any and all temporary changes to the Air Traffic Control procedures must be coordinated and approved by DAB Airport Operations and DAB Air Traffic Control Tower. During construction, the RPR and Contractor will attend the weekly progress meetings to inform the FAA ATCT and DAB Airport Operations regarding all construction activities that impact the existing AOA and any upcoming impacts due to beginning of new construction work areas. A moving 2 week look ahead schedule should be maintained.
C. Operations within Construction work Areas. Aircraft operations will not be affected by Construction. The Contractor shall establish access around the construction work area for all Airfield Operations and Ground Service Vehicle traffic.
208 Navigation Aid (NAVAID) Protection
Aircraft navigational aids (NAVAIDs) provide visual and electronic information which is used by pilots who operate and land aircraft at the Airport. Construction activities can have negative impacts on the functionality and serviceability of NAVAIDs. This project will have impacts on the glideslope since the contractor will be working within the glideslope critical area. Glideslope will be turned off when the contractor’s equipment is present within the glideslope critical area for a long period of time. These closures will be coordinated with the FAA and DAB Airport Operations 14 days prior.
The Contractor is solely responsible for locating all existing utilities within the project limits.
This includes coordinating with FAA airway facilities to identify the location of any buried
NAVAID cables.
209 Contractor Access
All construction personnel shall regularly be reminded that an aircraft always has “the
Right-Of-Way” within the AOA. 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 proposed routes that the Contractor should utilize to access the project work areas are shown on the CONSTRUCTION SAFETY AND PHASING plan sheet. Specific information regarding each item is addressed below:
A. Location of Stockpiled Construction Materials. Stockpiled materials and equipment storage are not permitted within any Safety area or object free area.
Stockpiled materials and equipment shall be 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 or creation of foreign object damage.
B. Vehicle and Pedestrian Operations. The CSPP includes specific vehicle and pedestrian requirements. Vehicle and pedestrian access routes for airport construction projects must be controlled to prevent inadvertent or unauthorized entry of persons, vehicles, or animals onto the AOA. The Airport operator will coordinate requirements for vehicle operations with airport tenants, contractors, and the FAA air traffic manager. In regard to vehicle and pedestrian operations, the CSPP includes the following requirements, and detail associated training:
(1) Construction site parking. No personal employee vehicles are permitted within the AOA. Designated vehicle parking areas for contractor employees are shown on the plans. The Contractor shall address his methods to prevent any unauthorized entry of persons or vehicles onto the AOA.
(2) Construction equipment parking. Contractor employees must park and service all construction vehicles in an area designated by the Airport operator outside the OFZ and never in the safety area of an active runway or taxiway. Inactive equipment must not be parked 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 the
OFA when not in use by construction personnel (for example, overnight, on weekends, or during other periods when construction is not active). Parking areas must not obstruct the clear line of sight by the ATCT to any taxiways or runways under air traffic control nor obstruct any runway visual aids, signs, or navigation aids. The FAA must study these 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) below for further information.
(3) Access and haul roads. The construction contractor’s access to the construction sites and haul roads are shown on the project plans. The construction Contractor is not permitted to use any access or haul roads other than those approved. Access routes used by Contractor vehicles must be clearly marked to prevent inadvertent entry to areas open to airport operations. Special attention shall be paid 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.
(4) Marking and lighting of vehicles shall be in accordance with AC
150/5210-5D, Painting, Marking, and Lighting of Vehicles Used on an
Airport.
(5) Description of proper vehicle operations will be discussed at the airport driver training course for each employee that will be driving on the airfield. This will include driving conditions on various areas under normal, lost communications, and emergency conditions.
(6) Required escorts. If a driver is not authorized to operate on the airfield
(this will only be for a non-regular activity such as a delivery) they will be escorted by an authorized operator. The Contractor shall confirm this rule with the Airport Operations Team.
(7) Training requirements for vehicle drivers to ensure compliance with the
Airport operator’s vehicle rules and regulations. Specific training will be provided to vehicle operators. See AC 150/5210-20A, Ground
Vehicle Operations on Airports, for information on training and records maintenance requirements.
(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 to cross a runway, taxiway, or any other area open to Airport 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.
(9) Two-way radio communication procedures. If the construction area is not barricaded from aircraft, it is the Contractor’s responsibility to monitor radio communications.
(10) Maintenance of the secured area of the Airport shall include the following:
(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 shall be equipped so they can be securely closed and locked to prevent access by animals, and unauthorized people and vehicles. Procedures will be established 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 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, American Association of
Airport Executives, or through the Department of Homeland
Security website: http://www.hsdl.org/ Additional information regarding airport security requirements can be obtained through the
Airport's Security Coordinator's Office located on the second floor of the Main Terminal Building.
(b) Badging requirements. Contractor shall comply with the
Contract Documents Specifications for meeting badging requirements of this project. DAB 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/ Security 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 DAB issued badges visible at all times, on the outermost garment of clothing and above their waists. If Contractor personnel are being escorted by approved escorts, the escort and escorted personnel must stay within verbal communication proximity of each other.
(c) DAB 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 http://www.hsdl.org/ established by the Airport and/or amended due to revisions imposed by the FAA regulations throughout the duration of the construction of this project.
210 Wildlife Management
See FAA AC 150/5200-33C “Hazardous Wildlife Attractants On or Near Airports”, and
Certalert 98-05, Grasses Attractive to Hazardous Wildlife. The Airport has an FAA approved Wildlife Hazard Management Plan (WHMP) for the control and mitigation of wildlife attractants or hazards on the Airport. The Contractor shall adhere to all requirements of the Airport's WHMP during the construction project regarding the control and mitigation of potential wildlife attractants. The Contractor can obtain a copy of the of the WHMP requirements through the Airport Operations Department located on the first floor of the Airport's main terminal building or by emailing Airport Operations at airportops@flydab.com for a digital copy. The Contractor must carefully control and continuously remove waste or loose materials that might attract wildlife. Surrounding the entire perimeter of the DAB 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 the airport, 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 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 RPR or Airfield Operations shall be immediately corrected by the
Contractor.
E. Disruption of Existing Wildlife Habitat. Contractor personnel shall immediately notify the RPR or Airport Operations of wildlife sighted inside or within the vicinity of the construction area. The Airport operates under specially issued federal wildlife permits for the interaction with, harassment of, and/or depredation of wildlife on Airport property. Contractor personnel are strictly prohibited from feeding, hazing, harassing, depredating, or otherwise interacting with any wildlife located on airport property under penalty of federal and state wildlife protection laws
211 Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Management
Waste and loose materials, commonly referred to as FOD, are capable of causing damage to aircraft landing gear, propellers, and jet engines. Construction contractors shall not allow the accumulation of FOD on or near active aircraft movement areas. Materials capable of creating FOD must be continuously removed during the construction project. Fencing
(other than security fencing) may be necessary to contain material that can be carried by wind into areas where aircraft operate. See AC 150/5210-24, Foreign Object Debris (FOD)
Management.
212 Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Management
Contractors 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 the Airport also requires special procedures. See AC 150/5320-15A, Management of Airport Industrial Waste.
213 Notification of Construction Activities
The SPCD must elaborate on the 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.

D. Coordination with ARFF. Weekly construction progress meetings will be held throughout the duration of the project and prior to commencement of phasing changes. At this time ARFF will be notified of:
(1) The deactivation and subsequent reactivation of water lines or fire hydrants, or
(2) The rerouting, blocking, and restoration of emergency access routes, or
(3) The use of hazardous materials on the airfield.
E. Notification to the FAA.
(1) Part 77. Any person proposing construction or alteration of objects that affect navigable airspace, as defined in Part 77, must notify the FAA.
This includes construction equipment and proposed parking areas for this equipment (i.e., cranes, graders, other equipment) on airports.
FAA Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration, can be used for this purpose and submitted to the appropriate FAA Airports
Regional or District Office. See Appendix 1 of the FAA AC 150-5370-
2G, Related Reading Material, to download the form. Further guidance is available on the FAA web site at oeaaa.faa.gov. At this time the construction equipment heights are not estimated to exceed 25 feet
AGL. This will be verified in the contractor’s SPCD.
(2) Part 157. With some exception, Title 14 CFR Part 157,Notice of
Construction, Alteration, Activation, and Deactivation of Airports, requires that the Airport operator notify the FAA in writing whenever a non-federally funded project involves the construction of a new airport;
the construction, realigning, altering, activating, or abandoning of a runway, landing strip, or associated taxiway; or the deactivation or abandoning of an entire airport. The notification involves submitting
FAA Form 7480-1 “Notice of Landing Area Proposal”, to the Orlando
FAA Airports District Office by DAB.
(3) NAVAIDS. Impacts to NAVAIDs are anticipated with this project.
Glideslope will be turned off when the contractor’s equipment is present within the glideslope critical area for a long period of time.
These closures will be coordinated with the FAA and DAB Airport
Operations 14 days prior. The ATCT will be invited to the weekly progress meetings. For emergency (short notice) notification about impacts to both Airport owned and FAA owned NAVAIDs, contact:
866-432-2622.
214 Inspection Requirements
A. Daily Inspections. Inspections will be conducted at least daily, but more frequently if necessary to ensure conformance with the CSPP. A sample checklist is provided in the Appendix of FAA AC 150-5370, Safety and Phasing
Plan Checklist. See also AC 150/5200-18C, Airport Safety Self-Inspection.
B. Final Inspections. New pavement areas shall be inspected by the Airport
Operator before being accepted as completed and prior to opening for traffic.
Any observed discrepancies or defects needing repair shall be coordinated thorough the RPR for the Contractor to correct or repair prior to the finished work being approved for use.
215 Underground Utilities
The contractor is responsible for locating and protecting existing underground utilities, cables, wires, pipelines, and other underground facilities in excavation areas. This may involve coordinating with the Airport Operator, public utilities and FAA ATO/Technical
Operations. Note that “One Call” services do not include FAA ATO/Technical Operations.
This will need to be coordinated with the airport operator and/or FAA ATO/Technical
Operations.
216 Penalties
The following penalties will be administered by the Airport, FAA, and TSA as allowed per the requirements of the Construction Safety and Phasing Plan.
A. Vehicle Operations. Stiff penalties exist to punish those who violate airport driving regulations. Prosecution can be a fine, imprisonment, lease violation or impoundment of vehicle.
B. Security Violations. Individuals who violate Airport Security rules may be subject to prosecution. Penalties may be a fine, imprisonment, lease violation or impoundment of vehicle. The TSA can levy fines of up to $11,000 per security incident. In addition to the penalties prescribed, the Airport may remove or eject from the Airport premises any person who violates any rule or regulation.
C. FOD. The Airport has a zero tolerance approach to FOD, and the Contractor may be subject to fines from the Airport, FAA, or other agencies for failure to properly manage FOD during construction activities.
217 Special Conditions
In the event of an emergency or condition that affects the operation of the Airport and may require the activation of any special procedures (for example, low-visibility operations, snow removal, aircraft in distress, aircraft accident, security breach, Vehicle / Pedestrian
Deviation (VPD) and other activities requiring construction suspension/resumption). The
RPR shall coordinate with the Airport Operator and has the authority to suspend/resume operations as conditions and/or circumstances permit.
218 Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids
Visual aids include marking, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDS. Areas where aircraft will be operating must be clearly and visibly separated from construction areas, including closed sections of pavement. Throughout the duration of the construction project, the
Contractor shall verify that these areas remain clearly marked and visible at all times and that marking, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDs remain in place and operational. The following, must be addressed:
A. General. Airport markings, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDs must be clearly visible to pilots, not misleading, confusing, or deceptive. All shall be secured in place to prevent movement by prop wash, jet blast, wing vortices, or other wind currents, and shall be constructed of materials that would minimize damage to an aircraft in the event of inadvertent contact.
B. Markings. Markings must be in compliance with the standards of AC 150/5340-
1M, Standards for Airport Markings.
(1) Temporarily Closed Taxiways. Barricades shall be placed in strategic locations to prevent aircraft from entering into closed areas or portions of pavement.
C. Lighting and Visual NAVAIDs. This paragraph refers to standard runway and taxiway lighting systems. See below for hazard lighting. Lighting must be in conformance with AC 150/5340-30J, Design and Installation Details for Airport
Visual Aids, and AC 150/5345-50B, Specification for Portable Runway and
Taxiway Lights. When disconnecting runway and taxiway lighting fixtures, disconnect the associated isolation transformers. Alternately, cover the light fixture in such a way as to prevent light leakage. Avoid removing the lamp from energized fixtures because an excessive number of isolation transformers with open secondaries may damage the regulators and/or increase the current above its normal value. Secure, identify, and place any above ground temporary wiring in conduit to prevent electrocution and fire ignition sources.
(1) Temporarily Closed Taxiways. Cover the light fixture in the closed portion of the taxiway in such a way as to prevent light leakage.
D. Signs. To the extent possible, signs must be in conformance with AC 150/5345-
44K, Specification for Runway and Taxiway Signs, and AC 150/5340-18G, Standard for Airport Sign Systems. Any time a sign does not serve its normal function; it must be covered to prevent misdirecting pilots. Note that information signs identifying a crossing taxiway continue to perform their normal function even if the crossing taxiway is closed.
219 Markings and Signs for Access Routes
Pavement markings and signs for construction personnel must conform to AC 150/5340-
18G and, to the extent practicable, with the Federal Highway Administration Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and/or State highway specifications. Signs adjacent to areas used by aircraft must comply with the frangibility requirements of AC
150/5220-23A, Frangible Connections, which may require modification to size and height guidance in the MUTCD.
220 Hazard Marking, Lighting and Signing
A. Hazard Marking and Lighting Prevents Pilots from entering areas closed to aircraft, and prevents construction personnel from entering areas open to aircraft. The plans specify prominent, comprehensible warning indicators for areas affected by construction that are normally accessible to aircraft, personnel, or vehicles. The Contractor must place hazard markings and lighting to identify open manholes, small areas under repair, stockpiled material, waste areas, and areas subject to jet blast.
B. Equipment.
(1) Barricades, including traffic cones, (weighted or sturdily attached to the surface) are acceptable methods used to identify and define the limits of construction and hazardous areas on airports. Careful consideration must be given to selecting equipment that poses the least danger to aircraft but is sturdy enough to remain in place when subjected to typical winds, prop wash and jet blast. The spacing of barricades must be such that a breach is physically prevented barring a deliberate act.
For example, if barricades are intended to exclude vehicles, gaps between barricades must be smaller than the width of the excluded vehicles, generally 4 ft. Provision shall be made for ARFF access.
(2) Lights must be red, either steady burning or flashing, and must meet the luminance requirements of the State Highway Department. Lights must be mounted on barricades and spaced at no more than 10 ft.
Lights shall be operated between sunset and sunrise and during periods of low visibility. They may be operated by photocell, but this may require that the Contractor turn them on manually during periods of low visibility during daytime hours.
(3) Supplement barricades with signs (for example “No Entry,” “No
Vehicles”) as necessary or as directed by the RPR.
(4) Air Operations Area – General. Barricades are not permitted in any active safety area. Within a runway or taxiway object free area, and on aprons, use orange traffic cones, flashing or steady burning red lights as noted above, collapsible barricades marked with diagonal, alternating orange and white stripes; and/or signs to separate all construction/maintenance areas from the movement area. All barricades adjacent to any open runway or taxiway / taxilane safety area, or apron shall be as low as possible to the ground, and no more than 18 in high, exclusive of supplementary lights and flags.
Barricades must be of low mass; easily collapsible upon contact with an aircraft or any of its components; and weighted or sturdily attached to the surface to prevent displacement from prop wash, jet blast, wing vortex, or other surface wind currents. If affixed to the surface, they must be frangible at grade level or as low as possible, but not to exceed 3 in (7.6 cm) above the ground.
(5) Maintenance. The construction specifications include a provision requiring the Contractor to have a person on call 24 hours a day for emergency maintenance of Airport hazard lighting and barricades. The
Contractor must file the contact person’s information at the pre-construction meeting. Lighting should be checked for proper operation at least once per day, preferably at dusk and with the RPR.
221 Protection of Runway and Taxiway Safety Areas
Runway and taxiway safety areas, Obstacle Free zones (OFZ), object free areas (OFA), and approach surfaces are described in AC 150/5300-13B. Protection of these areas includes limitations on the location and height of equipment and stockpiled material. An
FAA airspace study has been filed for this project. The Contractor shall coordinate with the Airport and the engineer as soon as the location and height of materials or equipment are known. The drawings show all safety areas and object free areas affected by construction.
A. Runway Safety Area (RSA). No construction may occur within the RSA while the runway is open for operations. The Contractor shall remove all equipment and shore up all open trenches/excavated areas within the RSA before opening the runway for operations. The RSA shall be clear and graded properly prior to opening the runway for operations.
B. Runway Object Free Area (ROFA). All work within the ROFA shall be limited to the limitations shown on the Construction Safety and Phasing Plans.
C. Taxiway Safety Area (TSA). A taxiway safety area is a defined surface alongside the taxiway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to an airplane unintentionally departing the taxiway. (See AC 150/5300-13B. Construction activities within the TSA are subject to the following conditions:
(1) No construction may occur within the TSA while the taxiway is open for aircraft operations. 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 (see
AC 150/5300-13B, Table 4-1).
(2) The Airport operator must coordinate the adjustment of the TSA width as permitted above with the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or
District Office and the FAA air traffic manager and issue a NOTAM.
(3) Excavations.
(a) Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the TSA while the taxiway is open.
(b) 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.
(4) Erosion Control. 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 occasional 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. Except as provided below, no construction may occur within the taxiway object free area while the taxiway is open for aircraft operations.
(1) The taxiway object free area dimensions may be temporarily adjusted if the taxiway is restricted to aircraft operations requiring a taxiway object free area that is equal to the taxiway object free area width available.
(2) Offset taxiway pavement markings may be used as a temporary measure to provide the required taxiway object free area. Where offset taxiway pavement markings are provided, centerline lighting or reflectors shall be required.
(3) Construction activity may be accomplished without adjusting the width of the taxiway object free area, subject to the following restrictions:
(a) Appropriate NOTAMs are issued.
(b) Marking and lighting meeting the provisions of paragraphs 218 and
220 above are implemented.
(c) Five-foot clearance is maintained between equipment and materials and any part of an aircraft (includes wingtip overhang). In these situations, flaggers must be present to direct construction equipment, and wing walkers will be necessary to guide the aircraft. Wing walkers should be airline/aviation personnel rather than construction workers.
222 Other Limitations on Construction
Limitations on construction include but are not limited to:
A. Prohibitions.
(1) No use of tall equipment (cranes, concrete pumps, and so on) unless a 7460-1 determination letter is issued for such equipment.
(2) No use of open flame welding or torches unless fire safety precautions are provided, and the Airport operator has approved their use.
(3) No use of electrical blasting caps on or within 1,000 ft (300 m) of the
Airport property. See AC 150/5370-10H.
(4) No use of flare pots within the AOA.
B. All variations to the “Construction Safety and Phasing Plans” Drawings provided in the Contract Documents of this project shall be approved by the Airport
Operator and the FAA. Contractor is expected to utilize the “Construction Safety and Phasing Plans” Drawings provided within the Contract Documents and other items outlined in this CSPP during the construction of this project.
C. Restrictions.
(1) Restrictions may arise during the pre-construction meeting with airfield operations.
