SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR WORKING ON OR NEAR THE

AIRFIELD OR AIRFIELD HANGARS

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 The following provisions apply when work is required to take place on the active airfield/hangar, or within the clear zones or primary surfaces.

1.2 CLOSURES

1.2.1 All runway, taxiway or hangar closures will require the coordination of Base Operations through the Contracting Officer not less than 14 calendar days prior to the requested closure, unless otherwise provided for in these specifications. The Contractor will make the maximum utilization of time during the requested closure period. The Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer when he is finished with the work requiring the closure.

The Contractor will schedule his operations in phases if necessary so as to minimize the effect of his construction closures on normal airfield operations.

1.3 COORDINATION OF WORK

1.3.1 The Contractor shall coordinate with the Contracting Officer before initiating any work and will notify them of the proposed location of work and time of operation.

1.4 PERSONNEL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

1.4.1 Aircraft and support equipment operating in/near hangars, on/near the runways, taxiways, and aprons make the area of construction a zone of high level noise. The Contractor shall take the necessary precautions, such as the use of earplugs or muffs to prevent injury to the auditory systems of all personnel working in the area.

1.5 RESTRICTIONS

1.5.1 No Contractor vehicles, equipment, or personnel shall be on or crossing any active runway or taxiway, except during construction period closures as outlined herein or when clearance is requested from and granted by the control tower. All Contractor vehicles operating on the landing areas (1,000 feet on either side of the runway center line) during the period from dawn to dusk will be identified by mounted electric battery operated low intensity, yellow or amber flashing lights. When Contractor operations require them to cross an active runway or other controlled area on a regular basis, they shall furnish a two-way radio in order to maintain contact with the control tower. The Government will provide the Contractor with the correct frequency. Use of the government provided radio frequency for other purposes will be strictly prohibited.

1.6 CLEANLINESS OF WORK AREA

1.6.1 The Contractor will be required to maintain cleanliness of all work areas at all times during progression of work in order to alleviate foreign object damage (FOD). The

PART 3

Contractor will be required to remove all materials and equipment to a safe distance from the runway or aircraft parking area at the close of each day’s work. This distance will be determined by Base Operations. The Contractor will not be allowed to stockpile any materials or store any equipment within 1,000 feet of the runway centerline.

1.7 EMERGENCIES

1.7.1 There may be periods of time when the Contractor, due to declared aircraft emergencies, will be required to vacate the work site and move their personnel and equipment a distance of several hundred feet away from the work site. Such removals, when ordered, will be given on short notice and expeditious action will be required. Whenever the Contractor is required to clear the work area, the Contractor accompanied by the inspector or Air Force representative will make an inspection sweep of the entire area to ensure all tools, equipment, and personnel have been removed from the runway, active taxiway or hangar, and that the area is available for landings or parking.
