3 1.0 Purpose The Construction Safety Operational Plan (CSOP), described herein, establishes the project requirements for maintaining safety during the construction of the Terminal Water Quality Pond (TWQP) at Denver International Airport (DIA) under Construction Contract No The scope of this project includes: Excavation of an extended detention basin (pond) south of Lift Station #1 and east of Taxiway G. Construction of a small levee (approximately six [6] feet above the existing ground surface) to complete a portion of the basin nearest Lift Station #1. Installation of concrete drainage structure(s) and a maintenance path. Permanent relocation of approximately 1500 linear feet of the AOA perimeter fence immediately adjacent to the pond. Less than 5 percent of this project will be within the eastern RPZ of Runway 7/25 (primarily fence relocation). Contractor airside access will be limited to the relocation of the perimeter fence; after which, construction should be landside. As with all detention basins at DIA, the TWQP will be a dry-bottom pond designed to drain in 40 hours or less after a storm event. The proposed top of levee elevation will be approximately 5306 ft. The proposed excavation will begin at approximate existing ground elevation 5212 feet and descend to a pond bottom elevation of approximately 5300 feet. This facility, at its highest elevation, will still be 38 feet below the nearest taxiway pavement (TW G elev feet) and 8 feet below the surrounding roadways (Newbern Street elev feet and New Castle Street elev feet). There remains a potential that, depending upon the selected Contractor s means and methods, masted construction equipment may temporarily rise above the neighboring taxiway pavement elevation (5350 feet). The Contractor shall ensure that means and methods, including proposed equipment, shall be reviewed with the DIA Project Manager, DIA Planning and DIA Operations prior to the start of construction to review potential impacts to airfield operations. The requirements outlined in this COSP are developed from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular 150/5370-2E, Operational Safety on Airports during Construction, the Denver International Airport Access Control Program, and standard construction industry practices and safety standards. FAA AC 150/5370-2E is included as Appendix 1. The CSOP covers the actions of on-site construction, inspection, consulting, and Airport personnel and equipment. Everyone s full-participation, cooperation, and support are 1-1

4 necessary to ensure the health and safety of all persons and property involved in the project. However, the contents of this safety plan are, in no way, intended to relieve any Contractor or Supplier of the obligations agreed to by the Contractor under their Contract with the Denver International Airport or as required by Federal and State law and those having local jurisdiction. In the event the Contractor s activities are found to not be in conformance with the provisions of this Construction Safety Operational Plan, the DIA Project Manager will direct the Contractor to take the appropriate action to bring the project back into compliance. The goal is to prevent accidents. The plans shall be continually reviewed and adjusted at weekly safety meetings, and have input from various stakeholders during the course of the project. Changes to the Contract shall be accomplished by a Change Order. All changes shall be coordinated with the FAA Airport District Office. The COSP is organized into the following six elements: Emergency Contact Information Work Plan and Schedule Construction Limits and Access Safety Requirements Airport Access Control Definitions 1-2

7 3.0 Work Plan and Schedule 3.1 Terminal Water Quality Pond This project will be constructed in a single phase of construction during a contract period of 180 days. Construction activities will include: Mobilization Relocation of the perimeter fence (to place the pond and its construction landside) Clearing and grading to establish the pond bottom Construction of a concrete channel and a maintenance path within the pond Construction of the impoundment levee and installation of associated system appurtenances (piping, inlets, trash racks, etc.) Revegetation Demobilization All work associated with this project will occur below the active operating surfaces of the airfield. All work, staging and equipment associated with this project should remain below the elevation of adjacent taxiway paving (top of pond elev. is a min. 38 ft below edge of pavement elevation 5350 ft on TW G); therefore construction of the TWQP should not have any direct impact on airfield operations. 3.2 Contractor Equipment Plan The Contractor will provide an equipment plan for the project duration. This plan will indicate the location and height of all construction equipment in order to determine the impact on Federal Aviation Regulation (FAR) Part 77 Airport imaginary surfaces. The maximum allowable height of construction equipment operating in the Airport Operations Area (AOA) is governed by FAA AC 150/5370-2E and FAR Part 77. When equipment is expected to penetrate the FAR Part 77 surfaces (for any runway in operation) or when cranes will be used on site, the Contractor will notify the Airport at least 30-days prior to the start of construction to coordinate the submittal of FAA Form to the FAA Regional Office. Permission to use cranes will be issued by the Airport after approval by the FAA. Booms will be lowered at night when not in use or during Instrument Flight Rules (IFR) conditions. Booms shall be lighted with a 360-degree obstruction light when not in operation or when working at night. The Contractor will also comply with all marking, lighting and precautionary provisions established by FAA AC 150/5370-2E. 3-1

8 4.0 Construction Limits and Access General construction and safety practices must be followed for this project. Prior to the commencement of the project, a meeting will be held with DIA Operations for their final review and acceptance of the project and the controls for the construction vehicles entering and leaving the work area including Vehicle / Pedestrian Deviation prevention. Contractor-provided flaggers will direct contractor vehicle/pedestrian traffic along the haul routes where necessary. No contractor employees shall be allowed outside of the designated work areas. All flaggers required for this project will be CDOT and DIA certified, and will be required to monitor DIA-supplied radios. DIA Operations must be notified each day when work begins on this project. This can be accomplished through the Ops 1 channel or by calling the Communication Center at Airfield Vehicle and Equipment Operations All employees operating vehicles within the AOA must comply with all applicable rules and regulations described in the DIA Operations Regulations Manual. Construction vehicles and personnel are restricted to the immediate work area specified for this project. At no time will vehicles or personnel enter portions of the secure AOA outside the construction limits unless permitted under the guidelines of DIA Operations, or escorted by a DIA Operations-approved escort. A maximum number of six (6) vehicles will be allowed per escort Access and Haul Routes The Contractor s access route for this project is shown on the attached drawing. The Contractor will enter the AOA portion of the work area through Gate P-11 off of New Castle Street, and head west on Newbern Street, ending at the project site. The entire access haul route for this project is on Limited Access Routes / perimeter roads that never cross a taxiway. The Contractor shall retain a DIA Operations-approved guard to monitor Gate P-11 at all times during work activity that requires AOA access. The embankment site for the excavated material from this project is landside immediately adjacent to New Castle Street and along the designated access route. All haul trucks shall be escorted at all times while on the AOA haul route. The staging area for this project is immediately adjacent to the project site. The Contractor will be required to maintain the entire haul route for the duration of the project. Any newly constructed haul routes required within the project area should be returned to preconstruction condition at the end of the project, unless indicated otherwise. Use of unauthorized haul routes will not be acceptable. The haul trucks must be covered at all times. In the event that any foreign object, spillage, debris, or dust builds up as a result of hauling operations, the Contractor will be required to immediately clean and remove the 4-1

9 material. Hauling across active taxiways or access taxiways is strictly prohibited without prior approval of DIA Operations. Low visibility operations (SMGCS) may restrict the contractors from working until conditions improve. The SMGCS hotline ( ) is available for contractors to call to determine when the airport is out of SMGCS Dust Control The Contractor will control dust from his operation to a level acceptable to DIA Operations at all times. The Contractor will have vacuum brooms, watering trucks, and other necessary equipment available. All methods for controlling dust and debris will be subject to DIA Operations approval. Dust and debris control will be strictly monitored due to its impact on aircraft safety. Failure to properly control dust and debris, or to respond to any requests to do so, will result in suspension of construction activities Vehicle Marking and Lighting During daylight hours, all authorized construction vehicles and equipment will be marked with a flashing yellow beacon in accordance with AC 150/5210-5B, Painting, Marking, and Lighting of Vehicles Used on an Airport or an orange and white checkered flag. The flag shall be 3 X 3 or larger, with each check being 1 square. During nighttime hours, all authorized construction vehicles and equipment will be marked with a flashing yellow beacon in accordance with AC 150/5210-5B. Vehicles, which are not marked and lighted, will be escorted by one that is equipped with appropriate marking and lighting devices. 4-2

10 5.0 Safety Requirements In addition to requirements described in Section 4.0, several other important safety requirements will be implemented to maintain a safe operating environment during construction. In general, DIA holds the overall responsibility for the construction activities related to the project. As such, the DIA will establish a set of guidelines that educate the Contractor about Airport Operations procedures, monitor the Contractor s operation during construction, and identify the appropriate contacts in case of an emergency. A series of requirements have been developed to guide both the Airport and the Contractor in an effort to minimize safety risks. The requirements are grouped as follows: General Notification of Construction Activities NAVAID Protection Utilities Trenches and Excavations Radio Communication Construction Material Stockpiling Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Control Airport Access Control (see Section 6.0) 5.1 General Contractor personnel, DIA staff, and field inspectors directly involved with the project will be aware of the types of conditions, safety problems, and hazards identified each day at the Airport. To make sure that all personnel are aware, weekly meetings between management (including a DIA representative) and supervisory personnel and their employees will be held. At a minimum, this requires that all project personnel adopt the following responsibilities: Inspect all work and storage areas daily for which they are responsible to be aware of current conditions. Promptly take all steps necessary to remedy any unsafe or potentially unsafe conditions discovered. Coordinate with the construction manager to ensure immediate corrective action is undertaken. Before commencement of a construction activity, DIA Operations, through coordination with the Contractor superintendent, the DIA Project Manager, and DIA s Operations Manager, will give notice to the FAA using the Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) system, of construction on the Airport. A NOTAM will also be issued for the completion of construction on the airfield. (Refer to Section 5.2.1). Barricades and flaggers are required as shown in the drawings and will be used to clearly separate construction from other parts of the AOA, and to identify isolated 5-1

11 hazards, such as open structures, excavations, areas under repair, stockpiled material, etc. 5.2 Notification of Construction Activities DIA Operations will follow procedures for notifying the Airport and the FAA of any conditions adversely affecting the operational safety at the Airport Notices to Airmen (NOTAM) The Airport must provide information on closed or hazardous conditions at the Airport to the local air traffic control facility (control tower, approach control, and air route traffic control center) so they can issue a NOTAM. DIA staff will coordinate the issuance, maintenance, and cancellation of NOTAMs regarding Airport conditions resulting from construction activities. Any person having reason to believe that a NOTAM is missing, incomplete or inaccurate must notify the appropriate point of contact. Direct coordination between the Contractor and Airport Operations will be required to foresee closures or other hazardous conditions resulting from construction activities. This information will be discussed during the weekly progress meetings Airport Operations Notification This Construction Safety Operational Plan requires that the Contractor notify Airport Operations in advance of any required utility shutdown or disruption, and of any hazardous materials discovered on the Airport. 5.3 NAVAID Protection Special consideration must be made for construction activities, materials/equipment storage, and vehicle parking near electronic Navigational Aids (NAVAIDS) because they may interfere with signals essential to air navigation, obstruct the line-of-sight from the Air Traffic Control Tower (ATCT), or limit access to the equipment and instruments for maintenance. The Contractor shall coordinate with DIA Operations for the shutdown of NAVAIDS. Additionally, construction staging and material stockpile locations have been identified in the plan set in locations that limit airfield and vehicle interference. However, this plan should be discussed between DIA Operations and the Contractor before commencing any construction activities. 5.4 Utilities Attention should be given to preventing unscheduled interruption of utility services and facilities. The location of all cables and utilities will be identified prior to construction activities. 5-2

12 There should be coordination between the Contractor, construction manager, Airport Operations, FAA, National Weather Service, utility companies, and any other appropriate entities or organizations. NAVAIDS, Weather Service facilities, electric cables, and other utilities must be fully protected during the construction duration. Power, communication, and control cables leading to and from any FAA NAVAIDS, Weather Service, and other facilities will be coordinated by the Contractor and marked in the field by the appropriate individuals before any work in their general vicinity is started. 5.5 Trenches and Excavations The Contractor must prominently mark open trenches and excavations at the construction site with orange flags and light with red flashing lights (acceptable to DIA) during hours of restricted visibility or darkness Runway Safety Area Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within 250 feet of the runway centerline and at least 1,000 feet from the runway end while the runway is open. If the runway must be opened before excavations are back-filled, cover the excavations appropriately. Covering for open trenches or excavations must be of sufficient strength to support the weight of the heaviest aircraft operating on the runway. Open trenches and excavations are not anticipated within the Runway Safety Area. A limited portion of the construction will occur within the Runway Protection Zone. The aforementioned safety requirements will be adhered to when working within the RPZ Taxiways and Aprons Excavations and open are not anticipated in the vicinity of taxiways and aprons. 5.6 Radio Communication The Contractor s superintendent and traffic control personnel will be required to monitor transceiver radios and remain in contact with DIA Operations. Radios will be used to obtain proper clearance from DIA Operations in regard to the movement of equipment, trucks, etc., across or near active aircraft areas. Frequencies will be discussed and established during the Pre-construction Conference. Contractor s employees involved in radio communications during the project must receive radio communications training from DIA Operations. 5.7 Construction Material Stockpiling Stockpiled materials are not permitted within the Runway Safety Area (RSA), Object Free Area (OFA), Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ), or Part 77 Surface of an operational runway. Any 5-3

13 materials and/or equipment adjacent to these areas will be visibly marked with red flags and lighted during hours of restricted visibility or darkness. 5.8 Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Trash or other materials with the potential to cause damage to aircraft landing gears, propellers, and jet engines is known as foreign object debris (FOD). As such, the Contractor will not leave or place FOD on or near active aircraft movement areas. Materials tracked onto these areas must be continuously removed during the construction project and prior to opening any pavement surfaces. Contractor-supplied vacuum sweeper(s) will be used to clean the affected pavement surfaces to ensure all material and FOD is removed from the work site. 5-4

14 6.0 Airport Security Participant guidelines are outlined in Denver Municipal Airport System Rules and Regulations Part 20. A Contractor must be sponsored by an Air Carrier, Tenant or by the City and County of Denver. Once a Contractor Company has been sponsored they must designate an Authorizing Agent. Each Contractor (or Subcontractor) requiring access to the Restricted Area, Sterile Area, or Secured Area shall become a Participant in the Airport Security Program, and remain in good standing in order to retain Airport Security privileges. The sponsorship establishes that a Contractor (including Subcontractors) has legitimate business at the Airport. All construction contractors must submit a Participant Sponsorship form signed by their sponsor. A company sponsoring a Participant shall immediately notify Airport Security when any sponsorship is terminated. A Sub-contractor Company working under its own entity must be sponsored by a Contractor Company. The Sub-contract Company must designate its own Authorizing Agent(s). Each Participant shall designate an Authorizing Agent to ensure the Participant s compliance with the Airport Security Program and act as the point of contact between the Participant and Airport Security. The Authorizing Agent shall be designated in writing to Airport Security by the Participant. The Authorizing Agent(s) is responsible for signing and verifying all information on the Denver International Airport Fingerprinting and Badge Applications. All submitted applications must be an original. It is the Authorizing Agent(s) responsibility to ensure that Airport Security maintains valid contact information. The Authorizing Agent must maintain a current and valid Airport Identification Badge. The security status of the Airport is subject to change without notice. These security requirements are applicable to the current security status of the Airport. Should the security status of the Airport change at any time during the term of the Agreement, a written notice shall be issued to the Contractor detailing all applicable security modifications. The Contractor must take immediate steps to comply with those security modifications. The Contractor shall return to the City, at Agreement completion or termination, or upon demand by the City, all access keys and Airport Id Badges issued to it by the City to Restricted Areas of the Airport. If the Contractor fails to return any such Airport Id Badge(s) or Airport Security Key(s) at the Agreement completion or termination or upon demand by the City, the Contractor shall be liable to the City for all the City s costs, including the City s labor costs for re-coring doors and any other work which is required to prevent compromise of the Airport security system. In order to collect such costs hereunder, the City may withhold funds in such amount from any amounts due and payable to the Contractor under the Agreement. 6.1 Airport ID Badge Requirements All individuals employed at the Airport with Restricted Area access, or working in the Terminal, Concourses, or Parking and Ground Transportation facilities, must obtain an Airport Identification 6-1

15 (ID) Badge. Airport ID Badges will be issued by Airport Security and if deemed necessary by Airport Security, may require a deposit. All such identification badges shall be and remain the property of the Airport. The Airport ID Badge must be surrendered on demand to Airport Operations and/or a Contract Security Guard. An individual employed by more than one company, or changing employers, must obtain an Airport ID Badge for each company. Badge Color indicates general areas of authorization in relationship with direct support of an individual s job function. Badge Color does not determine access. The respective classes of Airport ID Badges, indicated by badge color and associated driving privilege icon, describe driving privileges in direct correlation with their job function. The individual must complete a Denver International Airport Fingerprinting and Badge Application, on a form prepared and currently approved by Airport Security. Two valid forms of identification must be presented with the application, one of which must be government issued photo identification. The second form of identification must verify proof of citizenship (i.e., birth certificate or legal residency with work authorization). All information regarding the individual s name, age, gender, and other vital statistics on both forms of identification must be consistent and verifiable. A Denver International Airport Fingerprinting and Badge Application, Security Threat Assessment (STA) and Criminal History Record Check (CHRC) must be completed for each individual requesting an Airport Identification Badge.
