7 PURPOSE Aviation safety is the primary consideration at airports, especially during construction. The Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU) Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) and the Contractor s Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) are the primary tools to ensure safety compliance when coordinating construction activities with Airport Operations Department. These documents identify all aspects of the construction project that pose a potential safety hazard to Airport Operations Department and outline respective mitigation procedures for each hazard. The CSPP sets forth benchmarks and requirements for the project to help ensure the highest levels of safety, security and efficiency at the airport at the time of construction. Guideline requirements for the CSPP are developed from FAA Advisory Circular (FAA AC) 150/5370-2G Operational Safety on Airports During Construction. The CSPP is a standalone document, written to correspond and comply with the safety and security requirements set forth in FAA AC 150/5370-2G, the airport safety and security requirements, and local codes and requirements. The CSPP is to be used by all personnel involved in the project and covers the actions of not only the construction personnel and equipment, but also the action of inspection personnel and airport staff. This document has been developed to minimize interruptions to Airport Operations Department, reduce construction costs, and maximize the performance and safety of construction activity. Strict adherence to the provisions of the CSPP by all personnel assigned to or visiting the construction site is mandatory for all projects funded by FAA AIP and/or located on an airport certificated under Part 139. For projects funded by revenue streams other than the FAA AIP program, the CSPP is an acceptable method to meet Part 139 requirements during a construction activity. The Contractor shall be required to submit a SPCD to the Raleigh-Durham Airport Authority s Construction Project Manager (CPM), describing how the Contractor will comply with the requirements set forth in this CSPP. The SPCD must be submitted to the CPM and approved prior to issuance of the Notice to Proceed. In the event the Contractor s activities are found in non-compliance with the provisions of the CSPP or the SPCD, the CPM will direct the Contractor, in writing, to immediately cease those Runway Rehabilitation 5 CSPP

8 operations in violation. In addition, a safety meeting will be conducted for the purpose of reviewing those provisions in the CSPP/SPCD which were violated. The Contractor will not be allowed to resume any construction operations until conclusion of the safety meeting and all corrective actions required by the Contractor have been implemented. SCOPE The Raleigh-Durham International Airport Authority (RDUAA) engaged the services of RS&H Architects-Engineers-Planners, Inc. to develop plans and specifications for the Runway rehabilitation. The rehabilitation of Runway includes the milling and overlay of Runway and portions of Taxiway C1, C, and Z. The project also involves pavement removal adjacent the Runway 32 threshold and open grading on either side of the intersection of Taxiway C and Runway The Runway Rehabilitation project scope includes the following elements: Asphalt overlay of Runway (3,570 ft by 100 ft) Asphalt overlay of approximately 150 linear ft of Taxiway C1 Asphalt overlay of approximately 100 linear ft of Taxiway C Asphalt overlay of approximately 400 linear ft of Taxiway Z Removal of existing, abandoned pavement adjacent to the Runway 32 threshold Removal of existing unused pavement at TW C and RW intersection for drainage corrections Reinforcement of approximately 300 ft of existing Airport access road with asphalt millings Installation of a snow-removal equipment access road leading from the RDU Maintenance Facility Removal of 6-ft fence and replacement with 8-ft fence adjacent the RDU Maintenance Facility New pavement markings and turf restoration.

The impact of work to Airport Operations Areas (AOA) is graphically shown in the plan sheets provided in Appendix A. These sheets will be made part of the contract drawing set issued for bidding and construction. PLAN REQUIREMENTS 2.1 OVERIEW Aviation safety is the primary consideration at airports, especially during construction. The CPM s Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP) and the Contractor s Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) are the primary tools to ensure safety compliance when coordinating construction activities with Airport Operations Department. These documents identify all aspects of the construction project that pose a potential safety hazard to Airport Operations Department and outline respective mitigation procedures for each hazard. They must provide all information necessary for the Airport Operations Department to conduct airfield inspections and have the Contractor to expeditiously correct unsafe conditions during construction. All aviation safety provisions included within the project drawings, contract specifications, and other related documents must also be reflected in the CSPP and SPCD. 2.5 COORDINATION Project stakeholders potentially impacted during construction have been in contact with RDUAA representatives during the schematic and final design. These concerns have been relayed to the design team during regularly scheduled design meetings with RDUAA and RS&H in attendance PROGRESS MEETINGS Pre-Design Conference: A pre-design conference was held at Raleigh-Durham International Airport on November 13, In attendance were representatives from Raleigh-Durham International Airport Authority (RDUAA) and RS&H.

32 Contractor shall immediately notify Airport Operations Department of wildlife sightings FOREIGN OBJECT DEBRIS (FOD) MANAGEMENT Waste and loose materials, commonly referred to as FOD, are capable of causing damage to aircraft landing gears, propellers, and jet engines. Construction contractors must not leave or place FOD on or near active aircraft movement areas. Materials capable of creating FOD must be continuously removed during the construction project. Fencing (other than security fencing) may be necessary to contain material that can be carried by wind into areas where aircraft operate. See AC 150/ , Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Management. Special care and measures shall be taken to prevent FOD when working in an airport environment. The Contractor shall be held responsible for implementing an approved FOD Management Plan as a part of the SPCD. The FOD Management Plan will have procedures for prevention, regular cleanup, and containment of construction material and debris. The Contractor will ensure all vehicles related to the construction project using paved surfaces in the AOA shall be free of any debris that could create a FOD hazard. All taxiways, taxilanes, service roads, security perimeter roads, aprons, and runways must remain clean. Waste containers with attached lids shall be required on construction sites. Special attention should be given to securing lightweight construction material (concrete insulating blankets, tarps, insulation, etc.). Specific securing procedures and/or chain-link enclosures may be required. Contractors will provide their own equipment for vehicle and equipment washing and clean up. The Contractor shall clean the necessary vehicles within the Contractor staging area as to prevent tracking of mud and debris onto the AOA. The Contractor shall be responsible for a containment area as to prevent pollution onto and into adjacent conveyance systems. All personnel will be responsible for picking up FOD or reporting spills/hazards. Runway Rehabilitation 30 CSPP

At no time shall active taxiways or runways be crossed by construction equipment without Airport escort and proper approval/clearance from FAA ATCT. Any person proposing construction or alteration of objects that affect navigable airspace, as defined in Part 77, must notify the FAA. This includes construction equipment and proposed parking areas for this equipment (i.e. cranes, graders, other equipment) on airports. FAA Form , Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration, can be used for this purpose and submitted to the appropriated FAA Airports Regional or District Office Part 157: With some exceptions, Title 14CFR Part 157, Notice of Construction, Alteration, Activation, and Deactivation of Airports, requires that the CPM notify the FAA in writing whenever a non- Federally funded project involves the construction of a new airport; the construction, realigning, altering, activating, or abandoning of a runway, landing strip, or associated taxiway; or the deactivation or abandoning of an entire airport. Notification involves submitting FAA Form , Notice of Landing Area Proposal, to the nearest FAA Airports Regional or District Office. It is not anticipated that Part 157 notifications will be required for this project. Runway Rehabilitation 33 CSPP

36 NAVAIDs: For emergency (short-notice) notification about impacts to both airport owned and FAA owned NAVAIDs, contact: (866) and Airport Operations Department at (919) or (919) It is not anticipated that NAVAID notifications will be required for this project Airport owned/faa maintained: If construction operations require a shutdown of more than 24 hours, or more than 4 hours daily on consecutive days, of a NAVAID owned by the airport but maintained by the FAA, provide a 45-day minimum notice to FAA ATO/Technical Operations prior to facility shutdown FAA owned: The CPM must notify the appropriated FAA ATO Service Area Planning and Requirements (P&R) Group a minimum of 45 days prior to implementing an event that causes impacts to NAVAIDs. (Impacts to FAA equipment covered by a Reimbursable Agreement (RA) do not have to be reported by the CPM). Coordinate work for an FAA owned NAVAID shutdown with the local FAA ATO/Technical Operations office, including any necessary reimbursable agreements and flight checks. Detail procedures that address unanticipated utility outages and cable cuts that could impact FAA NAVAIDs. In addition, provide seven days notice to schedule the actual shutdown INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS: Daily (or more frequent) inspections. Inspections shall be conducted by the Contractor at least daily, but more frequently if necessary, to ensure conformance with the CSPP. A sample checklist is provided in Appendix D of this document. In addition to contractor s required inspections, Airport Operations Department will inspect the construction site prior to the reopening of any closed active taxiway, runway, and apron. The CPM will have full-time inspectors monitoring activity throughout construction. The contractor is required to immediately remedy Runway Rehabilitation 34 CSPP

37 and correct any deficiencies to the satisfaction of the Engineer, CPM, and Airport Operations Interim Inspections Inspections will be conducted of all areas to be (re)opened to aircraft traffic to ensure the proper operation of lights and signs, for correct markings, and absence of FOD. The Contractor will conduct an inspection of the work area with airport operations personnel. The inspection will occur each time that a closed portion of the airfield is re-opened to traffic. The Contractor will ensure that all construction materials have been secured, all pavement surfaces have been swept clean, all transition ramps have been properly constructed, and that surfaces have been appropriately marked for aircraft to operate safely. Only if all items on the list meet with the airport operator s approval should the air traffic control tower be notified to open the area to aircraft operations. The contractor should be required to retain a suitable workforce and the necessary equipment at the work area for any last-minute cleanup that may be requested by the airport operator prior to opening the area. The Contractor is responsible for scheduling interim inspections with the CPM with at least 72-hours notice to ensure Airport Operations is available to inspect aircraft traffic areas prior to re-opening Final inspections A final inspection with the CPM and Airport Operations Department will take place prior to allowing aircraft operations to resume.

38 2.15 UNDERGROUND UTILITIES Special attention shall be given to preventing unscheduled interruption of utility services and facilities. Where required due to construction purposes, the FAA shall locate FAA-owned underground cables. The Contractor shall locate and/or arrange for the location of all the underground cables. When an underground cable is damaged due to the Contractor s negligence the Contractor shall immediately notify the CPM, as referenced in Section 2.13 Notification of Construction Activities within this document, to repair including immediate repair or replacement of the cable affected at his/her own expense. Full coordination between airport staff, field inspectors, and construction personnel will be exercised to ensure that all airport power and control cables are fully protected prior to any excavation. Prior to beginning excavation in the work area, all cabling shall be marked. This shall involve coordinating with public utilities and FAA ATO/Technical Operations. Note that NC811 or services do not include FAA ATO/Technical Operations and may not locate utilities within the airfield fence PENALTIES Failure on the part of the Contractor to adhere to prescribed requirements may have consequences that jeopardize the health, safety or lives of customers and employees at the airport. CPM may issue warnings on the first offense based upon the circumstances of the incident. Individuals involved in non-compliance violations may be required to surrender their Airport ID badges and/or be prohibited from working at the airport, pending an investigation of the matter. Penalties for violations related to airport safety and security procedures will be established by CPM, Airport Operations Department, Engineer and/or may be assessed by the FAA, TSA, or a court of competent jurisdiction. Note: Project shutdown or misdemeanor citations may be issued on a first offense. When construction operations are suspended, activity shall not resume until all deficiencies are rectified. Runway Rehabilitation 36 CSPP

39 2.17 SPECIAL CONDITIONS In the event of an aircraft emergency, the Contractor s personnel and/or equipment may be required to immediately vacate the area. The Contractor will receive notification from Airport Operations Department when special conditions require the construction site to be vacated. In any event, extreme care should be exercised should construction personnel identify any ARFF (Airport Rescue and Fire-Fighting) vehicle moving toward the Runway with emergency lights displayed. This will generally mean that an emergency situation is imminent SGCS The Airport is required to follow a Surface Movement Guidance and Control System (SMGCS) Plan to maintain safe operations during low visibility conditions, such as fog. The Airport s SMGCS Plan does not allow construction personnel or equipment to cross Aircraft Movement Areas while these conditions are in effect. Construction during the project may be halted at any time by Airport Operations or the CPM if it is determined to be in the best interest of Airport Operations or safety. The Contractor may be directed to remove equipment and/or evacuate the site in order to enable aircraft operations. The Contractor is prohibited from performing any work if the Airport is operating during SMGCS RUNWAY AND TAIWAY VISUAL AIDS Runway and taxiway visual aids include pavement marking, airfield lighting, airfield signage, and visual NAVAIDs. Those areas where aircraft will be operating shall be clearly and visibly separated from construction areas, including closed runways. Throughout the duration of the construction project, the Contractor shall inspect and verify that these areas remain clearly marked and visible at all times and that marking, lighting, signs and visual NAVAIDs remain in place and operational General Airport markings, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDs must be clearly visible to pilots, not misleading, confusing, or deceptive. All construction items must Runway Rehabilitation 37 CSPP

40 be secured in place to prevent movement by prop wash, jet blast, wing vortices, or other wind currents and constructed of materials that would minimize damage to an aircraft in the event of inadvertent contact. Items used to secure such markings must be of a color similar to the marking Markings All taxiway centerline lead-in markings leading into Runway shall be blackened out immediately at the start of the construction phase. If working within the active movement area, this work may require escort or two-way radio communication. Locations of those centerline markings to be blackened out are graphically illustrated in the project drawings. These markings are to be re-applied at the completion of construction operations. Markings must be in compliance with the standards of AC 150/5340-1, Standards for Airport Markings, current edition, and the drawings and technical specifications of this project. Runway exit taxiways closed to aircraft operations are marked with lighted barricades, secured to prevent movement. The preferred visual aid to depict temporary runway closure is the lighted signal placed on or near the runway designation numbers (See Appendix A) Closed Runways and Taxiways: Permanently Closed Runways: Not Applicable Temporarily Closed Runways: For runways that have been temporarily closed, place an at each end of the runway directly on or as near as practicable to the runway designation numbers (See Appendix A) Partially Closed Runways and Displaced Thresholds: Not Applicable Taxiways: Permanently Closed Taxiways: Not Applicable Runway Rehabilitation 38 CSPP

41 Temporarily Closed Taxiways. Place construction type barricades outside the safety area of intersecting taxiways. For runway/taxiway intersections, place an at the entrance to the closed taxiway from the runway. If the taxiway will be closed for an extended period, obliterate taxiway centerline markings, including runway leadoff lines, leading to the closed section. Utilize black paint to mask lead-in lines directing traffic into temporarily closed taxiways. This will result in less damage to the pavement when the upper layer of paint is ultimately removed (See Appendix A). If working within the active movement area, this work may require escort or two-way radio communication Temporarily Closed Airport. Not Applicable Lighting and visual NAVAIDs All runway and taxiway edge lights and visual NAVAIDs in those sections of the work area closed to aircraft traffic will be de-energized Permanently Closed Runways and Taxiways: Not applicable Temporarily Closed Runways: The contractor shall coordinate with Airport Maintenance to ensure all runway lighting circuits are deenergized prior to start of construction and re-energized when open for its intended use (See Appendix A) Partially Closed Runways and Displaced Thresholds: Not applicable Temporarily Closed Taxiways: The contractor shall coordinate with Airport Operations to ensure all runway and taxiway lighting circuits are de-energized prior to the start of construction and re-energized when open for its intended use (See Appendix A). When deactivation is not possible (for example other taxiways on the same Runway Rehabilitation 39 CSPP

42 circuit are to remain open), cover the light fixture in such a way as to prevent light leakage Signs To the extent possible, signs must be in conformance with AC 150/ , Specification for Runway and Taxiway Signs, and AC 150/ , Standard for Airport Sign Systems Existing Signs: All taxiway signs in those sections of taxiways closed to aircraft traffic will be either de-energized or blacked out by use of a non-transparent material. Signs are required to conform to AC , Specification for Runway and Taxiway Signs, AC 50/ , Standards for Airport Sign Systems, and AC 150/ , Airport Lighting and Certification Program. Signs to be blacked out include the runway exit signs, location signs, and guidance signs depicting the portion of Taxiway C southeast of Runway 5R-23L Temporary Signs: Not applicable MARKING AND SIGNS FOR ACCESS ROUTES Location of haul routes on the airport site shall be as specified in the project drawing set and as provided graphically in the attached Appendix A, Plan Sheets C010 Contract Layout and Phasing Plan and C013 Millings Hauling and Stockpiling Plan. It shall be the Contractor s responsibility to coordinate off-site haul routes with the appropriate owner who has jurisdiction over the affected route. The haul routes, to the extent possible, shall be marked and signed in accordance with FAA airfield signage requirements found in AC 150\ , the Federal Highway Administration Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and/or state highway specifications. Signs adjacent to areas used by aircraft must meet the airfield general frangibility requirements located in FAA AC 150/ , and as required by the airport and subsequent approval by the Owner. Meeting airfield frangibility requirements may require modification to size and height guidance in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Runway Rehabilitation 40 CSPP

43 2.20 HAZARD MARKING AND LIGHTING Purpose Hazard marking and lighting is a visual aid to help prevent pilots from entering areas closed to aircraft, and prevents construction personnel from entering areas open to aircraft. To that end, comprehensible warning indicators for any area affected by construction that is normally accessible to aircraft, personnel, or vehicles must be installed and maintained by the Contractor for the duration of construction operations. Hazard marking and lighting may also be used for the identification of open manholes, small areas under repair, stockpiled material, waste areas, and taxiway object free areas (TOFA s) Areas Impacted by Construction Operations For this project, the areas to be impacted by construction operations include Runway 14-32, Taxiway C1, Taxiway Z, and Taxiway C southeast of Runway 5R-23L. Runway 5R-23L and Taxiway C northwest of Runway 5R- 23L will be impacted to a lesser extent, as pavement markings will be applied during night closures of Runway 5R-23L. Other areas of impact include the infield areas between Runway and Taxiway C, and the natural ground areas surrounding Runway Equipment Barricades: Type 1-Low profile barricades of the type detailed in the project drawings shall be placed at the edge of existing taxiway safety areas. Layout locations for this equipment are shown in the project drawing set and attached exhibits, reference Appendix A, Sheet C010 Contract Layout and Phasing Plan. Barricade spacing shall be such that a breach is physically prevented barring a deliberate act. The Contractor shall have a person on call 24 hours a day for emergency maintenance of airport hazard lighting and barricades. The Contractor must file the contact person s information with the CPM. Lighting should be checked for proper operation at least once per day, preferably at dusk. Runway Rehabilitation 41 CSPP

44 Lights: Barricade lights must be red, steady burning or flashing, and must meet the luminance requirements of the FAA. Batteries powering lights will last longer if lights flash. Lights must be mounted on barricades and spaced at no more than 10 ft. Lights must be operated between sunset and sunrise and during periods of low visibility whenever the airport is open for operations. They may be operated by photocell, but this may require that the Contractor turn them on manually during periods of low visibility during daytime hours Air Operations Area General: Barricades are not permitted in any active safety areas. Within a runway or taxiway object free area, Type 1-Low profile lighted barricades with flashing red lights as noted above, may be used to separate all construction/maintenance areas from the movement area. All barricades adjacent to any open runway or taxiway safety area, or apron must be as low as possible to the ground, and no more than 18 in high, exclusive of supplementary lights and flags. Barricades must be of low mass; easily collapsible upon contact with an aircraft or any of its components; and weighted or sturdily attached to the surface to prevent displacement from prop wash, jet blast, wing vortex, or other surface wind currents. If affixed to the surface, they must be frangible at grade level or as low as possible, but not to exceed 3 in (7.6 cm) above the ground Air Operations Area Runway/Taxiway Intersections: Use highly reflective barricades with red lights to close taxiways leading to closed runways. The CPM shall evaluate all operating factors when determining how to mark temporary closures that can last from 10 to 15 minutes to a much longer period of time. However, even for closures of relatively short duration, close all taxiway/runway intersections with barricades. The use of traffic cones maybe appropriate for short duration closures if approved by the Engineer and CPM. Runway Rehabilitation 42 CSPP

45 Air Operations Area Other: Outside runway and taxiway object free areas and aprons, barricades intended for construction vehicles and personnel may be many different shapes and made from various materials, including jersey barriers, or barrels, as approved by the CPM Maintenance: The construction specifications include a provision requiring the Contractor to have a person on call 24 hours a day for emergency maintenance of airport hazard lighting and barricades. The Contractor must file the contact person s information with the CPM and other notifications shall be in accordance with Section 2.13 Notification of Construction Activities. Lighting should be checked for proper operation at least once per day, preferably at dusk WORK ZONE LIGHTING FOR NIGHTTIME CONSTRUCTION Lighting equipment must adequately illuminate the work area if construction is to be performed during nighttime hours. Refer to AC 150/ for minimum illumination levels for nighttime paving projects. Additionally, it is recommended that all support equipment, except haul trucks, be equipped with artificial illumination to safely illuminate the area immediately surrounding their work areas. The lights should be positioned to provide the most natural color illumination and contrast with a minimum of shadows. The spacing must be determined by trial. Light towers should be positioned and adjusted to aim away from ATCT cabs and active runways to prevent blinding effects. Shielding may be necessary. Light towers should be lowered and returned to the Contractor s designated staging area during daylight hours. Construction lighting units should be identified and coordinated with the CPM in relationship to the ATCT and active runways and taxiways PROTECTION OF RUNWAY AND TAIWAY SAFETY AREAS Runway and taxiway safety areas, OFZs, OFAs, and approach surfaces are described in AC 150/ Protection of these areas includes limitations on the location and height of equipment and stockpiled material. An FAA airspace study Runway Rehabilitation 43 CSPP

46 may be required. Appendix A includes drawings showing all safety areas, object free areas, obstacle free zones and imaginary surfaces in the vicinity of construction Runway Safety Area (RSA) A runway safety area is the defined surface surrounding the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot, overshoot, or excursion from the runway (see AC 150/ ). Construction activities within the existing RSA are subject to the following conditions: Runway Safety Area (RSA): No construction may occur within the existing RSA while the runway is open for aircraft operations Excavations: Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the RSA while the runway is open. The Contractor shall backfill trenches before the runway is opened. If the runway must be opened before excavations are backfilled, cover the excavations appropriately to the satisfaction of the Engineer and Airport Operations Department. Covering for open trenches must be designed to allow the safe operation of the heaviest aircraft operating on the runway across the trench without damage to the aircraft. Construction contractors must prominently mark and barricade open trenches and excavations at the construction site by using lighted low-profile barricades with flashing red lights during hours of restricted visibility or darkness Erosion Control: Soil erosion must be controlled to maintain RSA standards, that is, the RSA must be cleared and graded and have no potentially hazardous ruts, humps, depressions, or other surface variations, and capable, under dry conditions, of supporting snow removal equipment, aircraft rescue and firefighting equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing structural damage to the aircraft.

47 Runway Object Free Area (ROFA) Construction, including excavations, may be permitted in the ROFA when closed to aircraft operations. However, equipment must be removed from the ROFA when not in use, and material should not be stockpiled in the ROFA if not necessary. Stockpiling material in the OFA requires submittal of a form and justification provided to the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office for approval Taxiway Safety Area (TSA) The taxiway safety area is a defined surface alongside the taxiway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of damage to an airplane unintentionally departing the taxiway. No construction may occur within the TSA while the taxiway is open for aircraft operations. Adjustment of TSA dimensions shall be coordinated with the ATCT and the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office; issuing a NOTAM will be required. Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the TSA while the taxiway is open. The Contractor must backfill trenches before the taxiway is opened. Coverings are not allowed in taxiway safety areas. After a taxiway has been closed, Contractors must prominently mark and barricade open trenches and excavations at the construction site with red or orange flags, as approved by the CPM, and light them with red lights during hours of restricted visibility or darkness. Soil erosion must be controlled by the Contractor as to maintain TSA standards, that is, the TSA must be cleared and graded and have no potentially hazardous ruts, humps, depressions, or other surface variations, and capable, under dry conditions, of supporting snow removal equipment, aircraft rescue and firefighting equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing structural damage to the aircraft Taxiway Object Free Area (TOFA) Runway Rehabilitation 45 CSPP

48 Unlike the Runway Object Free Area, aircraft wings regularly penetrate the taxiway object free area during normal operations. Thus the restrictions are more stringent than for Runway Object Free Areas. No construction may occur within the TOFA while the taxiway is open for aircraft operations Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ) Construction personnel, material, and/or equipment may not penetrate the OFZ while the runway is open for aircraft operations. The OFZ is a defined volume of airspace centered about and above the runway centerline Runway Approach/Departure Areas and Clearways All personnel, materials, and/or equipment must remain clear of the applicable threshold siting surfaces as defined in AC 150/ Objects that do not penetrate these surfaces may still be obstructions to air navigation and may affect standard instrument approach procedures OTHER LIMITATIONS ON CONSTRUCTION Prohibitions The following prohibitions are in effect for the duration of this project: No use of equipment with a height of over 50 feet (cranes, concrete pumps, and so on) unless a determination letter is issued for such equipment. No use of open flames welding or torches unless fire safety precautions are provided and the CPM has approved their use. No use of electrical blasting caps or explosives of any kind on or within 1,000 ft (300 m) of the airport property. No use of flare pots within the AOA Restrictions The following restrictions are in effect for this project: Runway Rehabilitation 46 CSPP

49 Construction suspension required during specific airport operations Construction shall not occur within a taxilane or taxiway OFA while aircraft are using the existing taxiway. Construction shall not occur while the airport is operating under SMGCS conditions (see Section ). Day or night construction restrictions For the performance of any night work, reference the requirements set forth in Sheet C004 Safety and Security General Notes and previous sections of this document. Seasonal construction restrictions The Contractor may not be permitted to perform construction activities impacting any runways during certain busy holiday times for the Airport. This includes the following the times within seven calendar days of the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Thanksgiving includes approximately the Monday before the holiday until the Tuesday after the holiday. Christmas includes approximately three days prior to the holiday until January 3. Given the short time frame construction, this is not expected to be a factor for this project. Runway Rehabilitation 47 CSPP
