The ECMs will be collocated with existing munitions storage area.

Contractor is advised that operational and training activities, both planned and unplanned, at RAAF Tindal will occur and impede and/or prevent construction activities.

These activities will require the movement and handling of potentially explosive materials and will pose a risk to the Contractor and their staff. Contractor shall develop Activities Hazard Analysis plan outlining procedures and protocols to be followed when these activities occur to mitigate risk to personnel.

a. Contractor shall plan on 1 day per month for deliveries which will preclude work from being performed in the ECM area.

b. Contractor shall plan on 30 days per year for operations, which will preclude work from being performed at the Production Pad area.
