Should a mission requirement occur, the Contracting Officer will adjust the rate of performance to compensate for any time loss.

1.5.2 Approval of work other than during the work hours established will be based upon technical or safety factors, and not at the convenience of the

Contractor. This is not intended to restrict the Contractor if the part of the project engaged in on a certain day requires continuous work until completed because of the technical nature of it, or in the interest of safety, or to prevent damage to the project or other property. The

Contractor shall give prior notice of such a requirement to the Contracting

Officer’s Representative. If Saturday, Sunday or holiday work is required, the Contractor shall make its request in writing to the Contracting Officer not less than forty-eight (48) hours in advance so that arrangements may be made to provide inspection of the work if it is approved by the Government.

1.6 AIRFIELD SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

1.6.1 The operation of all ground equipment (mobile or stationary), the placement of all materials, and the performance of all work, upon and near all airfields, shall be done according to this clause. Requirements of this clause are in addition to any other safety requirements of this contract.

Point of contact is Airfield Base Operations, 239-2530, located in Bldg. 743.

1.6.2 For purpose of this clause the following definitions shall apply:

1.6.2.1 Landing areas means the following:

1.6.2.1.1 The “primary surfaces” comprise the surface of the runways, the runway shoulders, and the lateral safety zones. The length of the primary surface is 1,000 feet (500 feet on each side of the runway centerline); and

1.6.2.1.2 The "clear zones" beyond the ends of each runway, i.e., the extension of the "primary surface" for a distance of 200 feet beyond each end of each runway; and

1.6.2.1.3 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, i.e., a 75 foot wide taxiway would have a combined width of taxiway and lateral clearance zones of 425 feet); and

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

1.6.2.2 Safety precaution area 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 surface or the transitional surface.

1.6.2.2.1 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 plane (glide angle) and then along a horizontal plane, both flaring symmetrically about the runway centerline extended. 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, and continues upward at a slope of 50:1 (one foot vertically for each 50 feet horizontally) to an elevation of 200 feet above the established airfield elevation; continuing at a slope of 40:1 to a point

50,000 feet longitudinally from the beginning of the inclined plane (glide angle) and ending there. The width of the surface at the beginning of the inclined plane (glide angle) is the same as the width of the clear zone;

thence it flares uniformly, reaching a maximum width of 16,000 ft at the end.

1.6.2.2.2 The "approach-departure clearance zone" is the ground area under the approach-departure clearance surface.

1.6.2.2.3 The "transitional surface" is a sideways extension of all primary surfaces, clear zones, and approach-departure clearance surfaces along inclined planes. The inclined plane in each case begins at the edge of the surface. Slope of the inclined plane is 7:1 (one foot vertically for each 7 feet horizontally), and it continues to the point of intersection with the inner horizontal surface (which is the horizontal plane 150 feet above the established airfield elevation) or the outer horizontal surface (which is the horizontal plane 500 feet above the established airfield elevation), whichever is applicable.

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

1.6.3 The Contractor shall report to the Contracting Officer’s

Representative before initiating any work and shall notify him of proposed changes of locations and operations.

1.6.4 Neither equipment nor personnel shall use any runway for purposes other than aircraft operation without permission of the Airfield Duty Officer unless the runway is closed by order of the Airfield Duty Officer and marked as provided in paragraph 1.6.5.1 below.

1.6.5 The Contractor shall place nothing upon the landing areas without authorization of the Contracting Officer’s Representative and Airfield Duty

Officer.

1.6.5.1 Unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer’s

Representative and Airfield Duty Officer, the Contractor shall outline those landing areas hazardous to aircraft, with red flags by day, and with electric, battery-operated, low-intensity red flasher lights by night.

1.6.5.2 Before entering any landing area at an airfield where flying is controlled, additional permission must be obtained every time from the control tower operator, unless the landing area is marked as hazardous to aircraft according to paragraph 1.6.5.1 above.

1.6.5.3 All vehicles that the Contractor operates in landing areas shall be identified by means of a flag on a staff attached to and flying above the vehicle. The flag shall be three feet square and shall consist of a checkered pattern of international orange and white squares of one foot on each side (the flag may vary up to 10 percent from each of these dimensions).

1.6.5.4 Unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer’s

Representative (COR), all other equipment and materials in the landing areas shall be marked with red flags by day and with electric, battery-operated, low-intensity red flasher lights by night.

1.6.5.5 Work in progress shall be managed so as to leave that portion of the landing area that is available to aircraft free from hazards, holes, piles of material, and projecting shoulders that might damage an airplane tire.

1.6.6 The Contractor shall place nothing upon the safety precaution areas without authorization of the COR and the Airfield Duty Officer.

1.6.6.1 Unless otherwise authorized by the Contracting Officer’s

Representative and Airfield Duty Officer, all equipment and materials in safety precaution areas shall be marked with red flags by day, and with electric, battery-operated, low-intensity red flasher lights by night.

1.6.6.2 All objects placed in safety precaution areas, which project above the approach-departure clearance surface or above the transitional surface, must be provided at night with a red light or red lantern.

1.6.7 The Contractor shall keep all paved surfaces such as runways, taxiways, and hardstands, clean and free from small stones that might damage aircraft propellers or jet aircraft engines.

1.6.8 While work is being performed on the airfield by the Contractor, the operation of mobile equipment shall be governed by the safety provisions above. At all other times all mobile equipment shall be removed to locations approved by the Contracting Officer’s Representative at a distance of at least 750 feet from the runway centerline plus any additional distance necessary to assure compliance with other provisions of this clause.

1.6.9 Only those trenches may be opened for which material is on hand and ready for placing therein. When practicable after material has been placed, and work approved, trenches shall be backfilled and compacted as required by the contract. Meanwhile, all hazardous conditions shall be marked and lighted in accordance with the other provisions of this clause.

1.7 Existing Signs

1.7.1 Prior to beginning work on an individual job order, the Contractor shall identify all existing signs that need to be removed for construction.

The Contractor shall be responsible for removing and re-installing these signs to their original location, or to a location identified by the COR. All costs for removing and re-installing signs shall be considered a part of the costs incorporated in the line items for an individual job order and will not be paid for separately. During construction, the Contractor is responsible for securing these signs and protecting them from damage.
