The above list is not all encompassing; the Contractor shall provide all supplemental work to ensure the listed items are accomplished in a neat and orderly manner.
3.1. Sunshade Design/Construction. The prefabricated steel aircraft sunshades are to be standalone structures bolted to the airfield parking apron. The structures shall have open ends and sides to accommodate the footprint of four T-7A aircraft per row, as determined by the Wing Commanders approved aircraft parking plan.
3.1.1. The dimensions of the aircraft are shown in Boeing CDRL #C250.
3.1.2. The sunshades configuration shall be broken down as follows: each bay will hold two T- 7A aircraft, and a row should contain four aircraft. (see Figure 4 for design concept).
3.1.2.1. The requested sunshade height will provide a minimum 10-feet of tail height clearance to any/all portions of the sunshade (also includes anything attached to sunshade such as, but not limited to, security lights, work lights, APU exhaust deflectors, etc.). Additionally, the requested sunshade length will provide 10 feet of overhang beyond the nose and tail of the aircraft.
3.1.2.2. Follow the aircraft structural clearances outlined in CDRL #C250.
3.1.2.3. Aircraft wing tips and tail height clearances shall meet the requirements outlined in DAFMAN 91-203 and UFC 3-260-01.
3.2. Structural Design Criteria. The aircraft sunshade support design will reflect a post and beam or similar structure open on all sides. The “open” nature of the structure is required to allow jet exhaust to dissipate, mitigating the potential harm to aircraft maintenance and aircrew personnel. The structure and canopy are to be non-combustible and conform to IAW UFC 3- 260-01, UFC 3-535-01, UFC 3-301-01, UFC 3-310-04, AFI 21-101, and AFMAN 32-1084 requirements. See Figure 4 for design concept.

3.2.2. The dead load shall consist of the weight of the structural frame and all other materials of the aircraft sunshade system.
3.2.3. The Contractor shall be responsible for installing sunshades that can withstand both positive and negative wind loads.
3.2.4. The Contractor shall be responsible for researching all historical weather conditions within the local area and shall install the sunshades to withstand these conditions.
3.2.5. Wind pressures shall be computed and applied using basic wind speed of 115-miles per hour (fastest mph).
3.2.6. Sunshades will align with the specification of allied support as to not interfere with aircraft Power Service Points (PSP) already in place.
3.2.7. The Government shall provide the Contractor with aircraft parking ramp Allied Support specifications.
3.3. Material Requirements. The Contractor shall use the materials outlined in CDRL #C250.
3.3.1. The sun shelter ceiling/roof materials shall be painted light sandstone steel. The T-7A Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) exhaust direction, wind speeds and temperatures must be considered in the sun shelter design, to ensure the APU exhaust does not damage the sun shelters support or roof structure in any way.
3.3.2. Sun shelter side materials shall be painted steel, perforated to meet wind load per code.
The side walls will be 15’ down the side from the top of the shelter. The side materials must be the design outlined in Figure 7 and CDRL #C250.
3.3.3. Lighting will be placed within the sunshades to provide task lighting for activities at night, as well as security lighting. Airfield obstruction lighting will be installed IAW UFC 3-535-01 as the sunshades will penetrate airfield imaginary surfaces.
3.4. Aircraft Taxi Lanes and Pavement Markings. Standard retroreflective beads will be used for all apron, taxiway, taxi lane markings, to include taxi lines that are inside and between the aircraft sunshades. Outside sunshade support post will have reflective markings installed from the ground up to 6-ft (See figure 1 & 4).
3.4.1 In the past, the Environmental Toxics Program personnel have come out to test the yellow stripes on the ramps, taxiways, etc. by using the XRF. A lot of the yellow paint that was used in these areas has tested positive for lead. In the event the yellow painted stripes must be disturbed during this project, the rules outlined in OSHA 29 CFR 1926.62 must be followed. If no disturbance to the painted areas is required, no abatement is necessary. You can paint over the existing paint if that doesn’t require any abrasive blasting, scraping, sanding, drilling, etc. All removal work must be done by a licensed Lead Firm. The OSHA requirement for these rules apply for the presence of any concentration of Lead Based Paint at 0.1 mg/cm2 or greater. A TCLP by a certified TCEQ laboratory will be required to determine proper disposal. A Work Plan will be required to be reviewed by the JBSA Environmental Office.
3.4.2. All painted items shall be in compliance with JBSA Installation Facilities Standards (IFS) Vol 2: JBSA Randolph. The Contractor is allowed to paint on base as guided in the forementioned guidance, any conflictions with requirements will be deferred to Civil Engineering for approval. Will be provided up request.
3.5. Structure Painting. All painted components shall be painted with colors that comply with local Wing Architectural Compatibility Guides. The Contractor shall execute any painting/repainting prior to the installation of the metal roof and bird mitigation material.
3.6. Electrical Design Criteria. All lighting shall be permanently affixed to the structure and not be capable of swaying during high wind conditions. The new shelters are to comply with UFC 3-600-01, Section 4-3.3 “Aircraft Weather Coverings.”
3.6.1. All structures shall be properly grounded to provide protection against any electrical surges, included but not limited to, lightning protection and surges from primary electrical feeder.
3.6.2. Air terminals are required; the Contractor shall ensure tubular steel assemblies are not used since they do not meet the intent of protection against lightning.
3.6.3. All lighting shall utilize energy efficient LED light sources. Specifications outlined in UFC 3-530-01, Interior and Exterior Lighting Systems.
3.6.4. The Contractor shall install obstruction lights on the canopies of the sunshades. The Contractor shall install a disconnect panel for said obstruction lighting for each sunshade row.
See Figure 4. Note: Where the aircraft sunshade bays join each other, only one set of obstruction lighting is required.
3.6.5. If coordination with the regional/local electrical power provider is required for a full power outage, the request must be made through the Government no later than three weeks in advance of the scheduled outage date. The Government shall assist the Contractor with coordinating this requirement.
4. RANDOLPH AFB SPECFIC REQUIREMENTS: The electrical tie ins are already in place and sunshades will align with manhole chambers on the west end of each row of 6 to pick up in-sunshade wiring for power and appropriate lighting. See Figure 2. The contractor shall run 400Hz Clean Power will run to the center of each row of four and branch out to each spot to keep distance to lowest level possible.
4.1. APU Exhaust. Size/design of engineered shelters must also consider APU exhaust direction, wind speeds and temperatures to ensure the APU exhaust does not damage the shelters support or roof structure. Additionally, the security lights, work lights, elec. outlets, elec. line, etc. must be engineered and/or placed to withstand both APU exhaust and jet blast. For APU exhaust direction, speed, and temperature see Figure 10.
4.2. AGE, Maintenance & Emergency Vehicle Access. The contractor shall install marked “service zones” along the front and rear of the shelter, parking spots for placement of AGE, maintenance vehicle parking, and emergency vehicle access/parking. See Figure 5. The “service zones” are marked with dashed white lines spaced 10-ft apart. We will need these lines on all the new T-7A shelters. These lines are already approved for use in the existing Non-Standard Markings Waiver P-TYMX-19-04.
4.2.1. For reference: procedures for utilizing the “service zones” are addressed in 12 FTW Supplement AFI 13-213, Airfield Driving. Basically AGE, vehicles, etc. placed in the “service zones” ensure the AGE/vehicle etc. are 10-feet from the aircraft and are also located to maintain the required 20-feet of interior taxi-lane wingtip clearance. The pilot of a taxiing aircraft can easily see if the AGE/vehicle, etc. are inside the marked “service zone” providing required/safe wingtip clearance or AGE/vehicles, etc. are NOT inside the marked “service zone”, thus required/safe wingtip clearance is NOT provided. See Figure 5.
4.2.2. The requested shelter width shall provide wing tip clearance (WTC) plus an additional 2-ft of space for placing support equipment (Fire Bottles, GPU, Electrical panels and/or, small AGE, etc.). See Figure 4.
4.2.3. A storage location with white lines in the shape of a rectangle will be placed at the west end of each row to signify AGE/Vehicle storage locations. Each marked location will be approx.
20 x 40-feet. See Figures 1 for required markings.
4.2.4. Shelters will be labeled with signage (See Figure 11) at the end of each row starting with Row 17 and ending in Row 24 (See Figure 2). All shelter rows will have each individual aircraft parking spot labeled per the example in Figure 11.
4.3. Bird Nesting/Roosting Mitigation. Shelter design and construction will mitigate bird roosting or nesting over the aircraft. In addition to capping periling ends, bird spikes or other deterrents will be installed on all perching areas and exposed beams.
4.4. Airfield Waivers. To the maximum possible, the shelters will be sited/ installed IAW 3-260-
01. A Permanent Aircraft Parking Waiver in this area is required even if shelters were not present/utilized. These permanent waivers are approved at the AETC level. The appropriate waiver P-TYMX-20-01 has been submitted and was approved on 29 June 2020.
4.4.1. The existing T-38 shelters are located 580-feet from the east runway centerline, thus violate the runway lateral clearance criteria. See Figure 3. These shelters were approved by permanent waiver RA101-09E.1. The new T-7A shelters will be built in the same basic locations relative to the runway, mandating a similar lateral clearance criteria waiver addressed/approved in P-TYMX-20-01 noted above. A Temporary Construction Waiver is required at the JBSA Installation level for this installation project. This waiver will cover the equipment that temporarily violates taxiways and aircraft movement areas. This waiver will also cover the construction laydown/staging areas. This waiver is currently in work and will be signed before installation begins.
4.4.2. The new T-7A shelters will be placed 150-feet west of taxi-lane Alpha. See Figure 3.
This placement provides more than the required 50’ peripheral taxi-lane wingtip clearance (WTC) for most demanding large transient aircraft that could utilize the taxi-lane (example: 65-ft of WTC for a C-17). Larger aircraft like the C-5 would normally exit the east runway at A5 and taxi to the south ramp, thus would normally not be impacted by the existing or new shelters.
However, a C-5 could still utilize taxi-lane Alpha with wing walkers with 38-feet of WTC.
Restrictions such as these are published in the local 12 FTWI 13-204, Air Traffic Control and Airfield Operations, instruction. See para. 5.3 for use of Non-Standard Airfield Markings Waiver.
4.5. Lighting & Power Receptacle Requirements. Specifications IAW UFC 3-530-01.
4.5.1. Light mount wind load requirements, see para 5.8 for wind load requirements & data.
4.5.2. For security lighting, a single light or group of lights above the aircraft operated by photo sensor, which automatically turn on at dusk and off at dawn, providing sufficient illumination for the detection of unauthorized personnel near the aircraft. Security lights must not be affected/impacted when work/task lights are turned off.
4.5.3. Security lighting must be IAW UFC 3-535-01 (7 Mar 2018), para 10-4 requirements.
These include, but not limited to, min requirements for security lighting to produce 1 footcandle of light around the aircraft and horizontal illuminance uniformity ratio (average to minimum) of no more than 4:1.
4.5.4. Two obstruction light at the end of each shelter row, as well as additional lights down the shelter bays for a total of 10 obstruction lights per row. There will be no gap over 150-feet.
These lights will by operated by photo sensor, which turns on at dusk and off at dawn or on/off during adverse weather and reduced lighting conditions. Obstruction lights must NOT be affected/impacted when/if Security or Work light are off. See figure 4 for specifications for obstruction lights.
4.5.5. IAW UFC 3-535-01, para. 6.1, LED based obstruction lights are prohibited.
4.5.6. Lights mounted on the shelter around the aircraft sides to provide 75 lumens of lighting per square foot of the shelter. This will provide sufficient lighting for maintenance personnel to work on aircraft. Work/task lights will have 1 manual on/off switch to operate each shelter independently. Energy efficient LED’s are required.
4.5.7. One aircraft external power cable on each side of each aircraft shelter bay is required to provide power for equipment utilized during aircraft maintenance activities (See Figure 13).
4.5.8. This external power plug will provide the T-7A aircraft with 400 Hz power. (See Figure 13).
4.5.8.1. Additionally, two 120-volt, 60 Hz plugs will be installed on each side of each bay (see Figure 12).
4.5.8.2. Removable aircraft power cables will be installed at the end of each shelter. They will be 30’ long and meet standard aircraft power cable specifications (See Attachments 4 and 5 for examples). For those shelters that are butted up to one another two power cables will be available to provide aircraft with external power (See Figure 14).
4.5.8.3. The receptacles will be compatible with AS7974. The shelter will have an adapter that will have a dust cover and should have the male end that can connect to the female ended cable (Figure 13). The external power cable will have female connections on both ends. The 400hz power will be provided to the shelter from power converters located at the end of Row 22, flightline side of hangar 16, and on the flightline side of hangar 13 (see Figure 14).
4.5.8.4. Power will be provided for the shelters from another project. This portion of the project was installed prior to the shelters being installed. Power needs to be run from the manhole chamber to the beginning of each row.
4.5.8.5. Beakers, fuses, and over-current protection for the 400 Hz circuit are required. Their use is up to the contractor to decide where they would best be utilized and located.
Grounding and bonding requirements will be up to the contractor to decide. Electrical schematics are available for power up to the shelters. (See Attachment 2)
Interlocks, switches, or indicators will be located were best utilized and accessible. Recommend they be installed on the control panels for each aircraft parking spot or 2 per bay (see Figure 14).
SAE AS5756, NFPA 70, and UFC 3-535-01 apply.
4.5.9. Lightning protection is required; installed in full compliance with NFPA 780.5.6.11., IAW AFI 32-1062, AFI 32-1065, UFC 3-501-01, UFC 3-520-01, UFC 3-530-01, UFC 3-550-01, UFC
3-600-01, ETL 02-15
4.5.10. The Government will ensure that the electrical power connections to the manhole chamber from the transformers are in place. Power will be placed from the manhole chamber to a junction box on the surface approximately where the beginning of the shelter starts. From this junction box, all power supply lines will be run above ground through the shelter ceiling/roof support structure and down support poles. Power lines will run through appropriate conduit and must withstand APU exhaust and jet blast. The centralized power junction box (required) will be in the ceiling where the two shelter bays meet for each row. (See Figure 12 and 14).
4.6. Existing Pavement Installation. The new T-7A shelters will not require any additional pavement, all shelters will be installed on the existing ramp space.
4.6.1. New footings shall be required for the shelter support posts. Existing pavement will be cored to the diameter/depth needed and filled with appropriate concrete to support the shelter similar to how the existing shelters are attached and IAW ACI 318 Building Codes Requirements for Structural Concrete. See Figure 6 for examples of support post footings.
4.7. Design Requirements for Rain/Snow load & Wind Ratings/Jet Blast. Adjacent bays sharing bracing frames will provide twice the required lateral bracing strength for each 4th frame.
4.7.1. The average monthly rainfall mean ranges from 1.7 inches to 3.6 inches (30.7 inches annually), with heaviest occurring during the spring and late summer months; mean days with freezing rain are 1 day per year. Potential for hail occurs from early spring through late summer;
the surrounding area generally gets hail approx. 2 times per year. The mean wind speed for the prevailing wind direction is 9.6 MPH and 7.8 MPH for all wind directions. All months have seen gusts in excess of 55 MPH, with the record strongest gust being 80MPH. The mean snowfall is ½ inch deep with a trace remaining less than 1 day and normally occurs in Jan or Feb.
Based on this information (See Figure 7), the shelters’ structures and coverings will be designed to provide a minimum load of 25 psf and 5 psf framing load. The shelter shall be capable of design loads handling wind forces and uplift generated with wind speeds of 115 MPH and/or IAW ASCE 7-10 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings & Other Structures and AISC 15 Steel Construction Manual. See Figure 7.
4.7.2. The shelters handle wind forces and uplift generated with wind speeds of 115 MPH and/or IAW ASCE 7-10 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings & Other Structures and AISC 15 Steel Construction Manual. It must also meet requirements of UFC 3-301-01 & 3-310-04.
4.7.3. Per Boeing’s Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph Equipment Facility Requirements (EFR) Plan Facility Design Criteria (FRC) for Aircraft & Ground Based Training System (GBTS) CDRL #C250, APT Aircraft Parking Apron 90 Degree Layout with sunshades, shades should be spaced 160-ft apart, with aircraft sitting 10-ft inside the shelter, providing 160-ft of jet blast area between tails. IAW Figures 1, 5, 8, & 9 of this document, the required spacing provides at least 160-ft between tails, and with the offset design even more directly behind each aircraft. This exceeds the Boeing recommendation and is more in line with the AFI requirements for 35 MPH and 100 degrees F (See Figure 8 & 9).
4.8. Welding. Contact the Base Fire Department to request an AF Form 592 USAF Welding, Cutting and Brazing Permit. Ensure a copy of the AF Form 592 is located on site.
IMPORTANT: Under no circumstances shall hot work operations start without a permit.
4.9. Installation Traffic Regulations. Contractor employees shall comply with all military installation traffic regulations and are subject to random vehicle speed control checks.
4.9.1. Contractor’s personnel cited for speeding on the installation may suffer loss of base driving privileges, debarment from the base, or other administrative action.
4.9.2. The use of cell phones, except hands-free phones, is prohibited while driving on AETC military installations.
4.9.3. Contractor’s personnel that are required to drive on the flightline must attend a one-time flightline drivers course conducted by the 12th OSS, Airfield Managers Office, located in Bldg.
8, 2nd floor.
