CONDITIONS AFFECTING WORK 01 14 00 - 1

SECTION 01 14 00 - CONDITIONS AFFECTING WORK

PART 1 – GENERAL

1.1 WORK SCHEDULE

A. The Chicago Midway International Airport Traffic Control Tower operates 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. It will be necessary to coordinate construction activity so as not to interfere with functions of the FAA or Airport. Loss of FAA equipment for any amount of time may jeopardize the safety of the flying public and may result in criminal charges against the Contractor. The Contractor will be required to follow certain limitations on their work hours for Operational Risk Management (ORM) purposes. Limitations are identified in ORM section (01 14 00 - 1.4) of this specification.

B. Normal working hours are 0700 to 1600, Monday through Friday (except U.S. holidays). The contractor may be required to work hours that minimize impact to air traffic; those hours are typically 0000 to 0500 but may vary depending on the facility and COR direction. See specification ORM section for guidance on guidance on how to consider this direction for bidding.

Contractor requests to work outside normal working hours require COR approval. However, the COR has full discretion to approve or disapprove, or withdraw approval of, requests. If the contractor desires to work outside normal hours (including Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays), he must submit his request to the COR at least 48 hours in advance. Some typical constraints on working outside normal working hours are:

1. The Contractor’s request must be made at least two days in advance (e.g., request received by close of business Wednesday for work on following Saturday). Prior to submitting the request, the Contractor must coordinate as needed (such as utility outages) and have all required people and materials for the work that will be performed.

2. A Contractor with quality or safety problems (as determined by the COR) will usually be restricted to normal working hours.

3. A Contractor who fails to correct deficiencies within a reasonable time (as determined by the COR) usually will be restricted to normal working hours or may be allowed to work outside normal working hours only to correct those deficiencies.

4. The Contractor must schedule his work to cause the least amount of interference to normal activities.

1.2 FAA OPERATIONS

A. Safety of the FAA National Airspace System (NAS) operations take precedence over any contractual work in this contract. The FAA has a safety program to help protect those operations titled Operational Risk Management or ORM. If anyone identifies personnel safety or NAS safety issues related to work under this contract, work must be stopped and the issues must be addressed immediately. If the contractor is notified of personnel or NAS safety issues associated with their

CONDITIONS AFFECTING WORK 01 14 00 - 2

work under this contract, they must immediately bring those issues to their FAA point of contact.

B. The FAA has established moratorium dates for construction activity at critical Air Traffic Control facilities. The intent is to minimize impact on the ability of FAA to perform its operational activities during peak air travel dates. Moratorium dates are typically scheduled over the

Thanksgiving Holiday and the Christmas/New Year Holiday. Exact dates will be provided at the preconstruction conference.

C. All construction activity during moratorium periods must be approved in advance by the FAA.

Submit items of work to be performed during moratorium dates no later than forty-five (45) days prior to the moratorium dates. Activities that have, in the sole opinion of the FAA, potential to negatively impact FAA operations will not be approved. A written waiver will be provided by

FAA to the Contractor outlining the allowable work items. No additional time or cost will be allowed for such denial.

1.3 AIRPORT OPERATIONS

A. RESTRICTIONS TO ACCESS - Access to work areas may be restricted from time to time by necessity of airport operations. Contractor acknowledges that it has taken into account and provided in its planning, scheduling and pricing for disruptions including but not limited to, restricted access to portions of the site that will not be immediately available, delivery time limitations, and moratorium dates.

B. OBSTRUCTION (OB) LIGHTS AND MARKINGS - Temporary obstruction lights and markings must be mounted on the highest point of any equipment used during the performance of work in accordance with Airport requirements

C. ILLUMINATION (EXTERIOR) – Ground level lights will be permitted to facilitate construction activity upon approval of the COR. Location and direction of illumination will be subject to acceptance by Air Traffic Control, which must have final authority concerning this matter.

Remove and/or reposition lights as required without additional cost to the FAA.

1.4 OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT (ORM)

A. ORM CONTRACTOR LIMITATIONS - The FAA has a safety program to help protect FAA operations titled Operational Risk Management or ORM. The program will require the contractor to follow guidelines and mitigations that are implemented to protect personnel and NAS Operations. The Contractor will be required to follow certain limitations on their work hours, performance criteria, sequencing of activities, and/or methods and means for Operational Risk Management (ORM) purposes.

B. CONTRACTOR ORM VIDEO – Each contractor or subcontractor performing work under this contract at any FAA facility must watch an approximately 6 minute video on ORM concepts and requirements at the FAA. Your work is important to the safety of the National Airspace System (NAS). This video will provide everyone with a basic understanding of the air traffic

CONDITIONS AFFECTING WORK 01 14 00 - 3

control environment where contractors will be working. The video will also include some do’s and don’ts, so your work won’t interfere with the safety critical work being done at FAA facilities. This video can be found at the following site:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyq9ESQ8vds

C. PROJECT RISK PLAN (PRP) – The FAA has performed a strategic operational risk analysis resulting in a Project Risk Plan (PRP). This plan identifies risks, operational consequences, and corresponding mitigations that must be implemented as a result of certain activities associated with this project. This information will be shared with the contractor at project kick off. The contractor will be expected to follow the PRP to the best of their ability during this project. In this specification the contractor is given information that should allow them to prepare their bid for the identified mitigations in the PRP. Those mitigations will be listed in the section titled

OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT (ORM), KNOWN RISK MITIGATIONS.

D. OPERATIONAL RISK MANAGEMENT PLAN (ORMP) – Some project related activities identified in the PRP will need specific coordination in regards to when and who will be performing those activities. For those activities the FAA will need to approve an Operational Risk Management Plan (ORMP) before those activities are accomplished. The contractor must be aware that they are not allowed to proceed with activities that need an ORMP until given specific direction from the COR.

E. TAKE 5 – The FAA has a safety concept under ORM known as “Take 5”. FAA employees have a responsibility to “Take 5” whenever they identify a safety related issue as part of the construction /installation contract. Employees are empowered to stop the work being performed until a “Take 5” evaluation is performed. If any contractor or subcontractor is notified of a “Take 5” situation, they should stop work immediately and contact their FAA point of contact. If a contractor or subcontractor identifies activities that they feel would jeopardize their safety, the safety of the FAA equipment, or the safety of personnel in the FAA facility, they should also “Take 5”. Once the FAA point of contact has been notified of a “Take 5” situation, they will coordinate with the contractor and any impacted personnel to evaluate the situation. They will ensure that work proceeds in a manner that protects the safety of personnel and the National Airspace System (NAS) Equipment.

If the Take 5 evaluation delays the project significantly enough for a contractor claim, that claim must be handled through the normal contracting processes.

F. KNOWN RISK MITIGATIONS – The following are known risks and the corresponding mitigations the contractor will be expected to implement in order to protect the National Airspace

System (NAS) equipment and services associated with this project:

Loss of HVAC systems in the Cab The contractor must work on one duct heater in each air handling system at a time for work associated with this project. The ductwork system must be isolated to minimize impact from the system being worked upon. Local facility representatives will be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yyq9ESQ8vds

CONDITIONS AFFECTING WORK 01 14 00 - 4

responsible for de-energizing or energizing of any equipment necessary to modify the systems. The contractor must provide the COR 8 hours’ notice when they are ready to work on a subsequent duct heater. When performing any direct work on the air handling system that could in the

FAA’s opinion cause an issue to the cab environment, the contractor can expect to work outside of normal business hours typically (11PM –

5AM) When working on any overall software control parameters, the contractor may be required to work outside normal working hours typically (11PM – 5AM) .

Contractor must bid with expectation for 40 hours of work outside of normal working hours for duct heater replacement modifications.

Fumes or odors or dust from project The contractor must provide the COR all sealants or lubricants required for the project for smell testing with local facility personnel. If dust from cutting, or smell from sealants are determined to be objectionable, the contractor may be required to do that work after normal working hours. Contractor must bid the work knowing that any smells or dust that impacts the safe control of air traffic will only be allowed after extensive odor or dust mitigations are implemented to a point of acceptable levels identified by the facility occupants. The contractor must bid with the expectation that some of the work may need to be done at a slower or less odor generating pace when replacing ductwork or unit heaters. Noise and Vibration Contractor will be required to demonstrate the noise and vibration levels caused from work associated with duct heater replacement.

5. Material location reports.

6. Field condition reports.

7. Special reports.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

A. Activity: A discrete part of a project that can be identified for planning, scheduling, monitoring, and controlling the construction project. Activities included in a construction schedule consume time and resources.

1. Critical activities are activities on the critical path. They must start and finish on the planned early start and finish times.

2. Predecessor Activity: An activity that precedes another activity in the network.

3. Successor Activity: An activity that follows another activity in the network.

B. Cost Loading: The allocation of the Schedule of Values for the completion of an activity as scheduled. The sum of costs for all activities must equal the total Contract Sum, unless otherwise approved by COR.

C. CPM: Critical path method, which is a method of planning and scheduling a construction project where activities are arranged based on activity relationships. Network calculations determine when activities can be performed and the critical path of Project.

D. Critical Path: The longest connected chain of interdependent activities through the network schedule that establishes the minimum overall Project duration and contains no float.

E. Event: The starting or ending point of an activity.

F. Float: The measure of leeway in starting and completing an activity.

1. Float time is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either Owner or Contractor, but is a jointly owned, expiring Project resource available to both parties as needed to meet schedule milestones and Contract completion date.

CONSTRUCTION PROGRESS DOCUMENTATION 01 32 00 - 2

2. Free float is the amount of time an activity can be delayed without adversely affecting the early start of the successor activity.

3. Total float is the measure of leeway in starting or completing an activity without adversely affecting the planned Project completion date.

G. Fragnet: A partial or fragmentary network that breaks down activities into smaller activities for greater detail.

H. Major Area: A story of construction, a separate building, or a similar significant construction element.

I. Milestone: A key or critical point in time for reference or measurement.

J. Network Diagram: A graphic diagram of a network schedule, showing activities and activity relationships.

K. Resource Loading: The allocation of manpower and equipment necessary for the completion of an activity as scheduled.
