33) The Fire alarm system is Class B. Response: Yes the Fire alarm system shall be Class B. Disregard any notes referring to Class A in the plans or specification.

34) Find attached “Bldg 1A Free Zone” map. The purpose of the map is to generally describe a possible configuration for access to the construction area the Contractor will use to mitigate FOD hazard on the Airfield. Full responsibility is with the Contractor to follow ETL 04-02, “Standard Airfield Pavement Marking Schemes”, attached. The requirement includes creating a free zone includes purchase or rental and placement of low profile flashing barricades. An example of the required equipment can be found at https://www.airportnac.com/airport-barricades. The Contractor is responsible for final configuration and installation of the barricades including quantity and placement. The barricades must be placed end to end with no space between to mitigate FOD on the airfield. The Contractor must provide a means and method to clean the free zone path such as a crew with brooms or a vacuum sweeper truck. The frequency of cleaning will be determined by the contractor’s ability to limit FOD while traveling through the free zone. Frequency of cleanup of FOD must be treated as a very high priority to limit damage to any aircraft in the area. Gate access and control by an individual gate guard provided by the contractor is required to allow access to the free zone and accomplish FOD checks. The contractor may choose an alternative method of escort and airfield drivers’ licenses for equipment operators reducing the configuration of the free zone however must receive GOV approval via a submittal prior to proceeding.

35) Contractor must take the height of the second story bridge into account for access to the west yard as shown on sheets C101, CD101 and CG101. The clear height is approximately https://www.airportnac.com/airport-barricades

40) 252.236-7005 AIRFIELD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS. (DEC 1991)

a) Definitions. As used in this clause --

(1) "Landing areas means" --

(i) The primary surfaces, comprising the surface of the runway, runway shoulders, and lateral safety zones. The length of each primary surface is the same as the runway length. The width of each primary surface is 2,000 feet (1,000 feet on each side of the runway centerline);

(ii) The "clear zone" beyond the ends of each runway, i.e., the extension of the primary surface for a distance of 1,000 feet beyond each end of each runway;

(iii) All taxiways, plus the lateral clearance zones along each side for the length of the taxiways (the outer edge of each lateral clearance zone is laterally 250 feet from the far or opposite edge of the taxiway, e.g., a 75-foot-wide taxiway would have a combined width of taxiway and lateral clearance zones of 425 feet); and

(iv) All aircraft parking aprons, plus the area 125 feet in width extending beyond each edge all around the aprons.

(2) "Safety precaution" areas means those portions of approach-departure clearance zones and transitional zones where placement of objects incident to contract performance might result in vertical projections at or above the approach-departure clearance, or the transitional surface.

(i) "The approach-departure clearance surface" is an extension of the primary surface and the clear zone at each end of each runway, for a distance of 50,000 feet, first along an inclined (glide angle) and then along a horizontal plane, both flaring symmetrically about the runway centerline extended.

(A) The inclined plane (glide angle) begins in the clear zone 200 feet past the end of the runway (and primary surface) at the same elevation as the end of the runway. It continues upward at a slope of 50:1 (1 foot vertically for each 50 feet horizontally) to an elevation of 500 feet above the established airfield elevation. At that point the plane becomes horizontal, continuing at that same uniform elevation to a point 50,000 feet longitudinally from the beginning of the inclined plane (glide angle) and ending there.

(B) The width of the surface at the beginning of the inclined plane (glide angle) is the same as the width of the clear zone. It then flares uniformly, reaching the maximum width of 16,000 feet at the end.

KRSM148028, wo 57673

(ii) The "approach-departure clearance zone" is the ground area under the approach-departure clearance surface.

(iii) The "transitional surface" is a sideways extension of all primary surfaces, clear zones, and approach-departure clearance surfaces along inclined planes.

(A) The inclined plane in each case begins at the edge of the surface.

(B) The slope of the incline plane is 7:1 (1 foot vertically for each 7 feet horizontally). It continues to the point of intersection with the --

(1) Inner horizontal surface (which is the horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airfield elevation); or

(2) Outer horizontal surface (which is the horizontal plane 500 feet above the established airfield elevation), whichever is applicable.

(iv) The "transitional zone" is the ground area under the transitional surface. (It adjoins the primary surface, clear zone, and approach-departure clearance zone.)

(b) General. (1) The Contractor shall comply with the requirements of this clause while --

(i) Operating all ground equipment (mobile or stationary);

(ii) Placing all materials; and

(iii) Performing all work, upon and around all airfields.

(iii) Necessary to ensure compliance with the other provisions of this clause; and

(6) Not open a trench unless material is on hand and ready for placing in the trench. As soon as practicable after material has been placed and work approved, the Contractor shall backfill and compact trenches as required by the contract. Meanwhile, all hazardous conditions shall be marked and lighted in accordance with the other provisions of this clause.

(d) Landing areas. The Contractor shall -

(1) Place nothing upon the landing areas without the authorization of the Contracting Officer;

(2) Outline those landing areas hazardous to aircraft, using (unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer) red flags by day, and electric, battery-operated low-intensity red flasher lights by night;

(3) Obtain, at an airfield where flying is controlled, additional permission from the control tower operator every time before entering any landing area, unless the landing area is marked as hazardous in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of this clause;

(4) Identify all vehicles it operates in landing areas by means of a flag on a staff attached to, and flying above, the vehicle. The flag shall be three feet square, and consist of a checkered pattern of international orange and white squares of 1 foot on each side (except that the flag may vary up to ten percent from each of these dimensions);

43) 3 Sept 2015 additional clarification

All windows, glazing, frames and anchorage being replaced are blast resistant to the minimum rating per UFC 4-010-01. Specification section 08 51 23 Steel Windows with Integral Blinds indicates that these windows also must meet the same minimum blast resistance as specified in specification section 08 56 53 Blast Resistant Tempered Glass Windows.

Sheet AD101, include demolition removal of windows as required to install new windows.

Sheet AE620/RS1 indicates all windows have roller blinds change with the exception of the window type C does not have roller blinds because they have integral blinds built in between the blast resistant panes see spec section 08 51 23.
