ITEM P-401 PLANT MIX BITUMINOUS PAVEMENTS

P-401-2 Ver. 2009

401-2.4 PRELIMINARY MATERIAL ACCEPTANCE. Prior to delivery of materials to the job site, the Contractor shall submit certified test reports to the Engineer for the following materials:

a. Coarse Aggregate.

(1) Percent of wear. (2) Soundness. (3) Unit weight of slag (when applicable). (4) Percent fractured faces.

b. Fine Aggregate.

(1) Liquid limit. (2) Plastic index. (3) Sand equivalent.

c. Mineral Filler.

d. Bituminous Material. Test results for bituminous material shall include temperature/viscosity charts for mixing and

compaction temperatures. The certification(s) shall show the appropriate ASTM test(s) for each material, the test results, and a statement that the material meets the specification requirement. The Engineer may request samples for testing, prior to and during production, to verify the quality of the materials and to ensure conformance with the applicable specifications. 401-2.5 ANTI-STRIPPING AGENT. Any anti-stripping agent or additive if required shall be heat stable, shall not change the asphalt cement viscosity beyond specifications, shall contain no harmful ingredients, shall be added in recommended proportion by approved method, and shall be a material approved by the Indiana Department of Transportation.

COMPOSITION 401-3.1 COMPOSITION OF MIXTURE. The bituminous plant mix shall be composed of a mixture of well-graded aggregate, filler if required, and bituminous material. The several aggregate fractions shall be sized, handled in separate size groups, and combined in such proportions that the resulting mixture meets the grading requirements of the job mix formula (JMF). 401-3.2 JOB MIX FORMULA. No bituminous mixture for payment shall be produced until a job mix formula has been approved, in writing, by the Engineer. The bituminous mixture shall be designed using procedures contained in Chapter 5, MARSHALL METHOD OF MIX DESIGN, of the Asphalt Institute's Manual Series No. 2 (MS-2), Mix Design Methods for Asphalt Concrete, and shall meet the requirements of Tables 1 and 2. The design criteria in Table 1 are target values necessary to meet the acceptance requirements contained in paragraph 401-5.2b. The criteria is based on a production process which has a material variability with the following standard deviations:

Stability (lbs.) = 270 Flow (0.01 inch) = 1.5 Air Voids (%) = 0.65

If material variability exceeds the standard deviations indicated, the job mix formula and subsequent production targets should be based on a stability greater than shown in Table 1, and the flow and air voids should be targeted close to the mid-range of the criteria in order to meet the acceptance requirements. If the Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) of the composite mixture, as determined by ASTM D 4867, is less than 75, the aggregates shall be rejected or the asphalt treated with an approved anti-stripping agent. The amount of anti-stripping agent added to the asphalt


P-401-3 Ver. 2009

shall be sufficient to produce a TSR of not less than 75. If an antistrip agent is required, it will be provided by the Contractor at no additional cost to the Owner. The job mix formula shall be submitted in writing by the Contractor to the Engineer at least 10 days prior to the start of paving operations and shall include as a minimum:

a. Percent passing each sieve size for total combined gradation, individual gradation of all aggregate stockpiles and percent by weight of each stockpile used in the job mix formula.

b. Percent of asphalt cement. c. Asphalt performance, viscosity or penetration grade, and type of modifier if used. d. Number of blows of hammer compaction per side of molded specimen. e. Mixing temperature. f. Compaction temperature. g. Temperature of mix when discharged from the mixer. h. Temperature-viscosity relationship of the asphalt cement. i. Plot of the combined gradation on the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) 45 power gradation curve. j. Graphical plots of stability, flow, air voids, voids in the mineral aggregate, and unit weight verses asphalt content. k. Percent natural sand. l. Percent fractured faces. m. Percent by weight of flat particles, elongated particles, and flat and elongated particles (and criteria). n. Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR). o. Antistrip agent (if required). p. Date the job mix formula was developed.

The Contractor shall submit to the Engineer the results of verification testing of three (3) asphalt samples prepared at the optimum asphalt content. The average of the results of this testing shall indicate conformance with the job mix formula requirements specified in Tables 1, 2 and 3. When the project requires asphalt mixtures of differing aggregate gradations, a separate job mix formula and the results of job mix formula verification testing must be submitted for each mix. The job mix formula for each mixture shall be in effect until a modification is approved in writing by the Engineer. Should a change in sources of materials be made, a new job mix formula must be submitted within 10 days and approved by the Engineer in writing before the new material is used. After the initial production job mix formula(s) has/have been approved by the Engineer and a new or modified job mix formula is required for whatever reason, the subsequent cost of the Engineer’s approval of the new or modified job mix formula will be borne by the Contractor. There will be no time extension given or considerations for extra costs associated with the stoppage of production paving or restart of production paving due to the time needed for the Engineer to approve the initial, new or modified job mix formula.

The recycled asphalt concrete mix shall be designed using procedures contained in the Asphalt Institute's Manual Series Number 20 (MS-20), Asphalt Hot-Mix Recycling, in conjunction with MS-2 (MS-2). The percentage of asphalt in the RAP shall be established for the mixture design according to ASTM D 2172 using the appropriate dust correction procedure. The job mix shall meet the requirements of Paragraph 401-3.2. RAP should only be used for shoulder surface course mixes and for any intermediate courses. The amount of RAP shall be limited to 30 percent, as long as the resulting recycled mix meets all requirements that are specified for virgin mixtures. The Contractor may obtain the RAP from the job site or an existing source. In addition to the requirements of Paragraph 401-3.2, the job mix formula shall indicate the percent of reclaimed asphalt pavement, the percent and viscosity grade of new asphalt, the percent and grade of hot-mix recycling agent (if used), and the properties (including viscosity and penetration) of the asphalt blend. The Contractor shall submit documentation to the Engineer, indicating that the mixing equipment proposed for use is adequate to mix the percent of RAP shown in the job mix formula and meet all local and national environmental regulations. The blend of new asphalt cement and the RAP asphalt binder shall meet the requirements in paragraph 401-2.3. The virgin asphalt cement shall not be more than two standard asphalt material grades different than that specified in paragraph 401-2.3. 401-3.4 TEST SECTION. Prior to full production, the Contractor shall prepare and place a quantity of bituminous mixture according to the job mix formula. The amount of mixture should be sufficient to construct a test section 300 feet long and 20 feet wide placed in two lanes, with a longitudinal cold joint, and shall be of the same depth specified for the construction of the course which it represents. A cold joint is an exposed construction joint at least 4 hours old or whose mat has cooled to less than 160° F. The underlying grade or pavement structure upon which the test section is to be constructed shall be the same as the remainder of the course represented by the test section. The equipment used in construction of the test section shall be the same type and weight to be used on the remainder of the course represented by the test section. THE TEST SECTION SHALL BE EVALUATED FOR ACCEPTANCE AS A SINGLE LOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA IN PARAGRAPH 401-5.1 AND 401-6.3. THE TEST SECTION SHALL BE DIVIDED INTO EQUAL SUBLOTS. AS A MINIMUM THE TEST SECTION SHALL CONSIST OF 3 SUBLOTS. The test section shall be considered acceptable if; 1) stability, flow, mat density, air voids, and joint density are 90 percent or more within limits, 2) gradation and asphalt content are within the action limits specified in paragraphs 401-6.5a and 5b, and 3) the voids in the mineral aggregate is within the limits of Table 2. If the initial test section should prove to be unacceptable, the necessary adjustments to the job mix formula, plant operation, placing procedures, and/or rolling procedures shall be made. A second test section shall then be placed. If the second test section also does not meet specification requirements, both sections shall be removed at the Contractor's expense. Additional test sections, as required, shall be constructed and evaluated for conformance to the specifications. Any additional sections that are not acceptable shall be removed at the Contractor's expense. Full production shall not begin until an acceptable section has been constructed and accepted by the Engineer. The initial test section, whether acceptable or unacceptable, and any subsequent section that meets specification requirements shall be paid for in accordance with paragraph 401-8.1. Job mix control testing shall be performed by the Contractor at the start of plant production and in conjunction with the calibration of the plant for the job mix formula. If aggregates produced by the plant do not satisfy the gradation requirements or produce a mix that meets the JMF, it will be necessary to reevaluate and redesign the mix using plant-produced aggregates. Specimens shall be prepared and the optimum bitumen content determined in the same manner as for the original design tests. The Contractor will not be allowed to place the test section until the Contractor Quality Control Program, showing conformance with the requirements of paragraph 401.6.1, has been approved, in writing, by the Engineer. 401-3.5 TESTING LABORATORY.

The controls shall be capable of working in conjunction with any of the following attachments:

a. Ski-type device of not less than 30 feet (9.14 m) in length. b. Taut stringline (wire) set to grade. c. Short ski or shoe. d. Laser control.

If, during construction, it is found that the spreading and finishing equipment in use leaves tracks or indented areas, or produces other blemishes in the pavement that are not satisfactorily corrected by the scheduled operations, the use of such equipment shall be discontinued and satisfactory equipment shall be provided by the Contractor. 401-4.5 ROLLERS. Rollers of the vibratory, steel wheel, and pneumatic-tired type shall be used. They shall be in good condition, capable of operating at slow speeds to avoid displacement of the bituminous mixture. The number, type, and weight of rollers shall be sufficient to compact the mixture to the required density while it is still in a workable condition. All rollers shall be specifically designed and suitable for compacting hot mix bituminous concrete and shall be properly used. Rollers that impair the stability of any layer of a pavement structure or underlying soils shall not be used. Depressions in pavement surfaces caused by rollers shall be repaired by the Contractor at his own expense. The use of equipment which causes excessive crushing of the aggregate will not be permitted.

a. Nuclear Densometer. The Contractor shall have on site a nuclear densometer during all paving operations in order to assist in the determination of the optimum rolling pattern, type of roller and frequencies, as well as to monitor the effect of the rolling operations during production paving. The Contractor shall also supply a qualified technician during all paving operations to calibrate the nuclear densometer and obtain accurate density readings for all new bituminous concrete. These densities shall be supplied to the Engineer upon request at any time during construction. No separate payment will be made for supplying the density gauge and technician. 401-4.6 PREPARATION OF BITUMINOUS MATERIAL. The bituminous material shall be heated in a manner that will


P-401-9 Ver. 2009

avoid local overheating and provide a continuous supply of the bituminous material to the mixer at a uniform temperature. The temperature of the bituminous material delivered to the mixer shall be sufficient to provide a suitable viscosity for adequate coating of the aggregate particles, but shall not exceed 325 degrees F, unless otherwise required by the manufacturer. 401-4.7 PREPARATION OF MINERAL AGGREGATE. The aggregate for the mixture shall be heated and dried prior to introduction into the mixer. The maximum temperature and rate of heating shall be such that no damage occurs to the aggregates. The temperature of the aggregate and mineral filler shall not exceed 350 degrees F when the asphalt is added. Particular care shall be taken that aggregates high in calcium or magnesium content are not damaged by overheating. The temperature shall not be lower than is required to obtain complete coating and uniform distribution on the aggregate particles and to provide a mixture of satisfactory workability. 401-4.8 PREPARATION OF BITUMINOUS MIXTURE. The aggregates and the bituminous material shall be weighed or metered and introduced into the mixer in the amount specified by the job mix formula. The combined materials shall be mixed until the aggregate obtains a uniform coating of bitumen and is thoroughly distributed throughout the mixture. Wet mixing time shall be the shortest time that will produce a satisfactory mixture, but not less than 25 seconds for batch plants. The wet mixing time for all plants shall be established by the Contractor, based on the procedure for determining the percentage of coated particles described in ASTM D 2489, for each individual plant and for each type of aggregate used. The wet mixing time will be set to achieve 95 percent of coated particles. For continuous mix plants, the minimum mixing time shall be determined by dividing the weight of its contents at operating level by the weight of the mixture delivered per second by the mixer. The moisture content of all bituminous mix upon discharge shall not exceed 0.5 percent. 401-4.9 PREPARATION OF THE UNDERLYING SURFACE. Immediately before placing the bituminous mixture, the underlying course shall be cleaned of all dust and debris. A prime coat or tack coat shall be applied in accordance with Item P-602 or P-603, if required by the contract specifications. 401-4.10 LAYDOWN PLAN, TRANSPORTING, PLACING, AND FINISHING. Prior to the placement of the bituminous mixture, the Contractor shall prepare a laydown plan for approval by the Engineer. This is to minimize the number of cold joints in the pavement. The laydown plan shall include the sequence of paving laydown by stations, width of lanes, temporary ramp location(s), and laydown temperature. The laydown plan shall also include estimated time of completion for each portion of the work (i.e. milling, paving, rolling, cooling, etc.). Modifications to the laydown plan shall be approved by the Engineer. The bituminous mixture shall be transported from the mixing plant to the site in vehicles conforming to the requirements of paragraph 401-3. Deliveries shall be scheduled so that placing and compacting of mixture is uniform with minimum stopping and starting of the paver. The Contractor may elect to use a material transfer vehicle to deliver mix to the paver. Hauling over freshly placed material shall not be permitted until the material has been compacted, as specified, and allowed to cool to atmospheric temperature. Adequate artificial lighting shall be provided during night placements, to safely complete the work. The mix shall be placed and compacted at a temperature suitable for obtaining density, surface smoothness, and other specified requirements but not less than 250 degrees F. Edges of existing bituminous pavement abutting the new work shall be saw cut and carefully removed as shown on the drawings and painted with bituminous tack coat before new material is placed against it. Upon arrival, the mixture shall be placed to the full width by a bituminous paver. It shall be struck off in a uniform layer of such depth that, when the work is completed, it shall have the required thickness and conform to the grade and contour indicated. The speed of the paver shall be regulated to eliminate pulling and tearing of the bituminous mat. Unless otherwise permitted, placement of the mixture shall begin along the centerline of a crowned section or on the high side of areas with a one-way slope. The mixture shall be placed in consecutive adjacent strips having a minimum width of 12 feet except where edge lanes require less width to complete the area. The longitudinal joint in one course shall offset the longitudinal joint in the course immediately below by at least 1 foot; however, the joint in the surface top course shall be at the centerline of the pavement. Transverse joints in one course shall be offset by at least 10 feet from transverse joints in the previous course.


P-401-10 Ver. 2009

Transverse joints in adjacent lanes shall be offset a minimum of 10 feet. On areas where irregularities or unavoidable obstacles make the use of mechanical spreading and finishing equipment impractical, the mixture may be spread and luted by hand tools. Areas of segregation in the surface course, as determined by the Engineer, shall be removed and replaced at the Contractor’s expense. The area shall be removed by saw cutting and milling a minimum of 2 inches deep. The area to be removed and replaced shall be a minimum width of the paver and a minimum of 10 feet long. 401-4.11 COMPACTION OF MIXTURE. After placing, the mixture shall be thoroughly and uniformly compacted by rolling. The surface shall be compacted as soon as possible when the mixture has attained sufficient stability so that the rolling does not cause undue displacement, cracking or shoving. The sequence of rolling operations and the type of rollers used shall be at the discretion of the Contractor. The speed of the roller shall, at all times, be sufficiently slow to avoid displacement of the hot mixture and be effective in compaction. Any displacement occurring as a result of reversing the direction of the roller, or from any other cause, shall be corrected at once. Sufficient rollers shall be furnished to handle the output of the plant. Rolling shall continue until the surface is of uniform texture, true to grade and cross section, and the required field density is obtained. To prevent adhesion of the mixture to the roller, the wheels shall be kept properly moistened (and scrapers used), but excessive water will not be permitted. In areas not accessible to the roller, the mixture shall be thoroughly compacted with approved power driven tampers. Tampers shall weight not less than 275 pounds, have a tamping plate width not less than 15 inches, be rated at not less than 4,200 vibrations per minute, and be suitably equipped with a standard tamping plate wetting device. Any mixture that becomes loose and broken, mixed with dirt, contains check-cracking, or in any way defective shall be removed and replaced with fresh hot mixture and immediately compacted to conform to the surrounding area. This work shall be done at the Contractor's expense. Skin patching shall not be allowed. 401-4.12 JOINTS. The formation of all joints shall be made in such a manner as to ensure a continuous bond between the courses and obtain the required density. All joints shall have the same texture as other sections of the course and meet the requirements for smoothness and grade. The roller shall not pass over the unprotected end of the freshly laid mixture except when necessary to form a transverse joint. When necessary to form a transverse joint, it shall be made by means of placing a bulkhead or by tapering the course. The tapered edge shall be cut back to its full depth and width on a straight line to expose a vertical face prior to placing the adjacent lane. In both methods, all contact surfaces shall be given a tack coat of bituminous material before placing any fresh mixture against the joint. Longitudinal joints which are irregular, damaged, uncompacted, or otherwise defective shall be cut back to expose a clean, sound surface for the full depth of the course. All contact surfaces shall be given a tack coat of bituminous material prior to placing any fresh mixture against the joint. The cost of this work and tack coat shall be considered incidental to the cost of the bituminous course.

MATERIAL ACCEPTANCE

401-5.1 ACCEPTANCE SAMPLING AND TESTING. Unless otherwise specified, all acceptance sampling and testing necessary to determine conformance with the requirements specified in this section will be performed by the Engineer at no cost to the Contractor except that coring and profilograph testing as required in this section shall be completed and paid for by the Contractor. Testing organizations performing these tests shall meet the requirements of ASTM D 3666. All equipment in Contractor furnished laboratories shall be calibrated by the testing organization prior to the start of operations.

a. Plant-Produced Material. Plant-produced material shall be tested for stability, flow, and air voids on a lot basis. Sampling shall be from material deposited into trucks at the plant or from trucks at the job site. A lot will consist of:


P-401-11 Ver. 2009

- one day or shift’s production not to exceed 2,000 tons, or

- a half day or shift’s production where a day's production is expected to consist of between 2,000 and 4,000 tons, or

- similar subdivisions for tonnages over 4,000 tons.

Where more than one plant is simultaneously producing material for the job, the lot sizes shall apply separately for each plant.

(1) Sampling. Each lot will consist of four equal sublots. Sufficient material for preparation of test specimens for all testing will be sampled by the Engineer on a random basis, in accordance with the procedures contained in ASTM D 3665. One set of laboratory compacted specimens will be prepared for each sublot in accordance with ASTM D 6926, at the number of blows required by paragraph 401-3.2, Table 1. Each set of laboratory compacted specimens will consist of three test portions prepared from the same sample increment. The sample of bituminous mixture shall be put in a covered metal tin and placed in an oven for not less than 30 minutes nor more than 60 minutes to stabilize to compaction temperature. The compaction temperature of the specimens should be as specified in the job mix formula.

(2) Testing. Sample specimens shall be tested for stability and flow in accordance with ASTM D 6927. Air voids will be determined by the Engineer in accordance with ASTM D 3203. Prior to testing, the bulk specific gravity of each test specimen shall be measured by the Engineer in accordance with ASTM D 2726 using the procedure for laboratory-prepared thoroughly dry specimens, or ASTM D 1188, whichever is applicable, for use in computing air voids and pavement density. For air voids determination, the theoretical maximum specific gravity of the mixture shall be measured one time for each sublot in accordance with ASTM D 2041, Type C, D or E container. The value used in the air voids computation for each sublot shall be based on the theoretical maximum specific gravity measurement for the sublot. The stability and flow for each sublot shall be computed by averaging the results of the all test specimens representing that sublot.

(3) Acceptance. Acceptance of plant produced material for stability, flow, and air voids shall be determined by the Engineer in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 401-5.2b.

b. Field Placed Material. Material placed in the field shall be tested for mat and joint density on a lot basis.

(1) Mat Density. The lot size shall be the same as that indicated in paragraph 401-5.1a and shall be divided into four equal sublots. One core of finished, compacted materials shall be taken by the Contractor from each sublot. Core locations will be determined by the Engineer on a random basis in accordance with procedures contained in ASTM D 3665. Cores shall not be taken closer than one foot from a transverse or longitudinal joint.

(2) Joint Density. The lot size shall be the total length of longitudinal joints constructed by a lot of material as defined in paragraph 401-5.1a. The lot shall be divided into four equal sublots. One core of finished, compacted materials shall be taken by the Contractor from each sublot. Core locations will be determined by the Engineer on a random basis in accordance with procedures contained in ASTM D 3665. ALL CORING SHALL BE CENTERED ON THE JOINT. THE MINIMUM CORE DIAMETER FOR JOINT DENSITY DETERMINATION SHALL BE 5 INCHES.

(3) Sampling. Samples shall be neatly cut with a core drill. The cutting edge of the core drill bit shall be of hardened steel or other suitable material with diamond chips embedded in the metal cutting edge. The minimum diameter of the sample shall be five inches. Samples that are clearly defective, as a result of sampling, shall be discarded and another sample taken. The Contractor shall furnish all tools, labor, and materials for cutting samples and filling the cored pavement. Cored holes shall be filled in a manner acceptable to the Engineer and within one day after sampling.

(4) Testing. The bulk specific gravity of each cored sample will be measured by the Engineer in accordance with ASTM D 2726 or D 1188, whichever is applicable. The percent compaction (density) of each sample will be determined by


P-401-12 Ver. 2009

dividing the bulk specific gravity of each sublot sample by the average bulk specific gravity of all laboratory prepared specimens for the lot, as determined in paragraph 401-5.1a(2). The bulk specific gravity used to determine the joint density at joints formed between different losts shall be the lowest of the bulk specific gravity values from the two different lots.

(5) Acceptance. Acceptance of field placed material for mat density will be determined by the Engineer in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 401-5.2b(1). Acceptance for joint density will be determined in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 401-5.2b(3).

c. Partial Lots - Plant-Produced Material. When operational conditions cause a lot to be terminated before the specified number of tests have been made for the lot, or when the Contractor and Engineer agree in writing to allow overages or other minor tonnage placements to be considered as partial lots, the following procedure will be used to adjust the lot or size and the number of tests for the lot. The last batch produced where production is halted will be sampled, and its properties shall be considered as representative of the particular sublot from which it was taken. Where three sublots are produced, they shall constitute a lot. Where one or two sublots are produced, they shall be incorporated into the next lot, and the total number of sublots shall be used in the acceptance plan calculation, i.e., n = 5 or n = 6, for example.

d. Partial Lots - Field Placed Material. The lot size for field placed material shall correspond to that of the plant material, except that, in no cases, less than (3) cored samples shall be obtained for the acceptance plan calculations, i.e.,n=3. 401-5.2 ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA.

a. General. Acceptance will be based on the following characteristics of the bituminous mixture and completed pavement as well as the implementation of the Contractor's Quality Control plan and test results:

(1) Stability (5) Joint density (2) Flow (6) Thickness (3) Air voids (7) Smoothness (4) Mat density (8) Grade

Mat density and air voids, will be evaluated for acceptance in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2b(1). Stability and flow will be evaluated for acceptance in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2b(2). Joint density will be evaluated for acceptance in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2b(3). Thickness will be evaluated by the Engineer for compliance in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2b(4). Acceptance for smoothness will be based on the criteria contained in paragraph 401-5.2b(5). Acceptance for grade will be based on the criteria contained in paragraph 401-5.2b(6). The Engineer may at any time, not withstanding previous plant acceptance, reject and require the Contractor to dispose of any batch of bituminous mixture which is rendered unfit for use due to contamination, segregation, incomplete coating of aggregate, or improper mix temperature. Such rejection may be based on only visual inspection or temperature measurements. In the event of such rejection, the Contractor may take a representative sample of the rejected material in the presence of the Engineer, and, if it can be demonstrated in the laboratory, in the presence of the Engineer, that such material was erroneously rejected, payment will be made for the material at the contract unit price.

b. Acceptance Criteria.

(1) Mat Density and Air Voids. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced material for mat density and air voids shall be based on the percentage of material within specification limits (PWL). If the PWL of the lot equals or exceeds 90 percent, the lot shall be acceptable. Acceptance and payment for the lot shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 401-8.1.

(2) Stability and Flow. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced material for stability and flow shall be based on the percentage of material within specification limits (PWL). If the PWL of the lot equals or exceeds 90 percent, the lot shall be acceptable. If the PWL is less than 90 percent, the Contractor shall determine the reason and take corrective action. If the


P-401-13 Ver. 2009

PWL is below 80 percent, the Contractor must stop production until the reason for poor stability and/or flow has been determined and adjustments are made to the mix.

(3) Joint Density. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced material for joint density shall be based on the percentage of material within specification limits (PWL). If the PWL of the lot equals or exceeds 90 percent, the lot shall be acceptable. If the PWL is less than 90 percent, the Contractor shall evaluate the method of compacting joints. If the PWL is below 80 percent, the Contractor shall stop production until the reason for poor compaction can be determined. IF THE PWL IS LESS THAN 71 PERCENT, THE PAY FACTOR FOR THE LOT USED TO COMPLETE THE JOINT SHALL BE REDUCED BY 5 PERCENTAGE POINTS. This lot pay factor reduction shall be incorporated and evaluated in accordance with paragraph 401-8.1.

(4) Thickness. Thickness of each lift shall be evaluated by the Engineer for compliance to the requirements shown on the plans. Measurements of thickness shall be made by the Engineer using the cores extracted for each sublot for density measurement. The maximum allowable deficiency at any point shall not be more than 1/4 inch less than the thickness indicated for the lift. Average thickness of lift, or combined lifts, shall not be less than the indicated thickness. Where the thickness tolerances are not met, the lot or sublot shall be corrected by the Contractor at his expense by removing the deficient area and replacing with new pavement. The Contractor, at his expense, may take additional cores as approved by the Engineer to circumscribe the deficient area.

(5) Smoothness. The final surface shall be free from roller marks. The finished surfaces of each course of the pavement, except the finished surface of the final course, shall not vary more than 3/8 inch when evaluated with a 16-foot straightedge. The finished surface of the final course of pavement shall not vary more than ¼ inch when evaluated with a 16 foot straightedge. The lot size shall be 2,000 square yards. Smoothness measurements shall be made at 50 foot intervals and as determined by the Engineer. In the transverse direction, smoothness readings shall be made continuously across the full width of pavement. However, transverse smoothness readings shall not be made across designed grade changes. At warped transition areas, straightedge position shall be adjusted to measure surface smoothness and not design grade transitions. When more than 15 percent of all measurements within a lot exceed the specified tolerance, the Contractor shall remove the deficient area to the depth of the final course of pavement and replace with new material. Skin patching shall not be permitted. Isolated high points may be ground off providing the course thickness complies with the thickness specified on the plans. High point grinding will be limited to 15 square yards. Areas in excess of 15 square yards will require removal and replacement of the pavement in accordance with the limitations noted above.

(a) Profilograph. The Contractor shall furnish a 25 foot wheel base California type profilograph and competent operator to measure pavement surface deviations. The profilograph shall be operated in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and at a speed no greater than 3 mph. Original profilograms for the appropriate locations interpreted in accordance with ASTM E 1274 shall be furnished to the Engineer. The profilograms shall be recorded on a scale of one inch equal to 25 feet longitudinally and one inch equal to one inch (or full scale) vertically. Profilographs shall be calibrated prior to testing.

The surface of the runway and/or taxiway pavements of continuous placement of 50 feet or more shall be tested and evaluated as described herein. One pass along the centerline shall be required for each paving lane. Runs shall be continuous through a day’s production. Each trace shall be completely labeled to show paving lane and stationing.

The Contractor shall furnish paving equipment and employ methods that produce a riding surface for each section of pavement having an average profile index meeting the requirements of Table 7. A typical section will be considered to be the width of the paving lane and 1/10 of a mile long. The profile index will be determined in accordance with ASTM E 1274. A blanking band of 0.2 inches shall be used. Within each 1/10 mile section, all areas represented by high points having a deviation in excess of 0.4 inches in 25 feet or less shall be removed by the Contractor using an approved method. After removing all individual deviations in excess of 0.4 inches, additional corrective work shall be performed if necessary to achieve the required ride quality. All corrective work shall be completed prior to determination of pavement thickness.

On pavement sections where corrections were necessary, second profilograph runs shall be performed to verify that the corrections have produced an average profile index of 15 inches per mile or less. If the initial average profile index was less than 15, only those areas representing greater than 0.4 inch deviation will be re-profiled for correction verification.

Individual sections shorter than 50 feet and the last 15 feet of any section where the Contractor is not responsible for the adjoining


P-401-14 Ver. 2009

section shall be straightedged in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2b(5).

If there is a section of 250 feet or less, the profilogram for the section shall be included in the evaluation of the previous section. If there is an independently placed section of 50 to 250 feet in length, a profilogram shall be made for that section and the pay adjustment factors for short section of Table 7 shall apply.

All costs necessary to provide the profilograph and related to furnishing the appropriate profilograms as required in this provision are incidental to pavement construction and no direct compensation will be made therefore.

(6) Grade. The finished surface of the pavement shall not vary from the gradeline elevations and cross sections

shown on the plans by more than 1/2 inch. The finished grade of each lot will be determined by running levels at intervals of 50 feet or less longitudinally and all breaks in grade transversely (not to exceed 50 feet) to determine the elevation of the completed pavement. The Contractor shall pay the cost of surveying of the level runs that shall be performed by a licensed surveyor. The documentation, stamped and signed by a licensed surveyor, shall be provided by the Contractor to the Engineer. The lot size shall be 2,000 square yards. When more than 15 percent of all the measurements within a lot are outside the specified tolerance, or if any one shot within the lot deviates ¾ inch or more from planned grade, the Contractor shall remove the deficient area to the depth of the final course of pavement and replace with new material. Skin patching shall not be permitted. Isolated high points may be ground off providing the course thickness complies with the thickness specified on the plans. The surface of the ground pavement shall have a texture consisting of grooves between 0.090 and 0.130 inches wide. The peaks and ridges shall be approximately 1/32 inch higher than the bottom of the grooves. The pavement shall be left in a clean condition. The removal of all of the slurry resulting from the grinding operation shall be continuous. The grinding operation should be controlled so the residue from the operation does not flow across other lanes of pavement. High point grinding will be limited to15 square yards. Areas in excess of 15 square yards will require removal and replacement of the pavement in accordance with the limitations noted above.

c. Percentage of Material Within Specification Limits (PWL). The percentage of material within specification limits (PWL) shall be determined in accordance with procedures specified in Section 110 of the General Provisions. The specification tolerance limits (L) for lower and (U) for upper are contained in Table 5.

d. Outliers. All individual tests for mat density and air voids shall be checked for outliers (test criterion) in accordance with ASTM E 178, at a significance level of 5 percent. Outliers shall be discarded, and the PWL shall be determined using the remaining test values.

a. General. Resampling of a lot of pavement will only be allowed for mat density, and then, only if the Contractor requests same, in writing, within 48 hours after receiving the written test results from the Engineer. A retest will consist of all the sampling and testing procedures contained in paragraphs 401-5.1b and 401-5.2b(1). Only one resampling per lot will be permitted.

(1) A redefined PWL shall be calculated for the resampled lot. The number of tests used to calculate the redefined PWL shall include the initial tests made for that lot plus the retests.

(2) The cost for resampling and retesting shall be borne by the Contractor.

b. Payment for Resampled Lots. The redefined PWL for a resampled lot shall be used to calculate the payment for that lot in accordance with Table 6.

c. Outliers. If the tests within a lot include a very large or a very small value which appears to be outside the normal limits of variation, check for an outlier in accordance with ASTM E 178, at a significance level of 5 percent, to determine if this value should be discarded when computing the PWL. 401-5.4 LEVELING COURSE. Any course used for truing and leveling shall meet the requirements of paragraph 401-3.2 and 5.2b(1) for air voids and 401-5.2b(2), but shall not be subject to the density requirements of paragraph 401-5.2b(1) for mat density and 401-5.2b(3). The leveling course shall be compacted with the same effort used to achieve density of the test section. The truing and leveling course shall not exceed a nominal thickness of 1-1/2 inches (37.5 mm). The leveling course is the first variable thickness lift of an overlay placed prior to subsequent courses.

CONTRACTOR QUALITY CONTROL


P-401-16 Ver. 2009

401-6.1 GENERAL. The Contractor shall develop a Quality Control Program in accordance with Section 100 of the General Provisions. The program shall address all elements which effect the quality of the pavement including, but not limited to:

a. Mix Design b. Aggregate Grading c. Quality of Materials d. Stockpile Management e. Proportioning f. Mixing and Transportation g. Placing and Finishing h. Joints i. Compaction j. Surface smoothness k. Personnel l. Laydown Plan

The Contractor shall perform quality control sampling, testing, and inspection during all phases of the work and shall perform them at a rate sufficient to ensure that the work conforms to the contract requirements, and at minimum test frequencies required by paragraph 401-6.3 and Section 100 of the General Provisions. As a part of the process for approving the Contractor’s plan, the Engineer may require the Contractor’s technician to perform testing of samples to demonstrate an acceptable level of performance. No partial payment will be made for materials that are subject to specific quality control requirements without an approved plan. 401-6.2 TESTING LABORATORY. The Contractor shall provide a fully equipped asphalt laboratory meeting the requirements of paragraph 401-3.5 and 401-4.2a(2) located at the plant or job site. The Contractor shall provide the Engineer with certification stating that all of the testing equipment to be used is properly calibrated and will meet the specifications applicable for the specified test procedures. 401-6.3 QUALITY CONTROL TESTING. The Contractor shall perform all quality control tests necessary to control the production and construction processes applicable to these specifications and as set forth in the approved Quality Control Program. The testing program shall include, but not necessarily limited to, tests for the control of asphalt content, aggregate gradation, temperatures, aggregate moisture, field compaction, and surface smoothness. A Quality Control Testing Plan shall be developed as part of the Quality Control Program.

a. Asphalt Content. A minimum of two extraction tests shall be performed per lot in accordance with ASTM D 6307 or ASTM D 2172 for determination of asphalt content. The weight of ash portion of the extraction test, as described in ASTM D 2172, shall be determined as part of the first extraction test performed at the beginning of plant production; and as part of every tenth extraction test performed thereafter, for the duration of plant production. The last weight of ash value obtained shall be used in the calculation of the asphalt content for the mixture. The asphalt content for the lot will be determined by averaging the test results.

The use of the nuclear method for determining asphalt content in accordance with ASTM D 4125 is permitted, provided that it is calibrated for the specific mix being used.

b. Gradation. Aggregate gradations shall be determined a minimum of twice per lot from mechanical analysis of extracted aggregate in accordance with ASTM D 5444 and ASTM C 136 (Dry Sieve). When asphalt content is determined by the nuclear method, aggregate gradation shall be determined from hot bin samples on batch plants, or from the cold feed on drum mix or continuous mix plants, and tested in accordance with ASTM C 136 (dry sieve) using actual batch weights to determine the combined aggregate gradation of the mixture.

c. Moisture Content of Aggregate. The moisture content of aggregate used for production shall be determined a minimum of once per lot in accordance with ASTM C 566.

d. Moisture Content of Mixture. The moisture content of the mixture shall be determined once per lot in accordance with ASTM D 1461.


P-401-17 Ver. 2009

e. Temperatures. Temperatures shall be checked, at least four times per lot, at necessary locations to determine the

temperatures of the dryer, the bitumen in the storage tank, the mixture at the plant, and the mixture at the job site.

f. In-Place Density Monitoring. The Contractor shall conduct any necessary testing to ensure that the specified density is being achieved. A nuclear gauge may be used to monitor the pavement density in accordance with ASTM D 2950.

g. Additional Testing. Any additional testing that the Contractor deems necessary to control the process may be performed at the Contractor's option.

h. Monitoring. The Engineer reserves the right to monitor any or all of the above testing. 401-6.4 SAMPLING. When directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall sample and test any material which appears inconsistent with similar material being sampled, unless such material is voluntarily removed and replaced or deficiencies corrected by the Contractor. All sampling shall be in accordance with standard procedures specified. 401-6.5 CONTROL CHARTS. The Contractor shall maintain linear control charts both for individual measurements and range (i.e., difference between highest and lowest measurements) for aggregate gradation and asphalt content. Control charts shall be posted in a location satisfactory to the Engineer and shall be kept current. As a minimum, the control charts shall identify the project number, the contract item number, the test number, each test parameter, the Action and Suspension Limits applicable to each test parameter, and the Contractor's test results. The Contractor shall use the control charts as part of a process control system for identifying potential problems and assignable causes before they occur. If the Contractor's projected data during production indicates a problem and the Contractor is not taking satisfactory corrective action, the Engineer may suspend production or acceptance of the material.

a. Individual Measurements. Control charts for individual measurements shall be established to maintain process control within tolerance for aggregate gradation and asphalt content. The control charts shall use the job mix formula target values as indicators of central tendency for the following test parameters with associated Action and Suspension Limits:

CONTROL CHART LIMITS FOR INDIVIDUAL MEASUREMENTS Sieve Action Limit Suspension Limit ¾ inch (19.0 mm) 0% 0% ½ inch (12.5 mm) +/- 6% +/- 9% 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) +/- 6% +/- 9% No. 4 (4.75 mm) +/- 6% +/- 9% No. 16 (1.18 mm) +/- 5% +/- 7.5% No. 50 (0.30 mm) +/- 3% +/- 4.5% No. 200 (0.075 mm) +/- 2% +/- 3% Asphalt Content +/- 0.45% +/- 0.70%

b. Range. Control charts for range shall be established to control process variability for the test parameters and Suspension

Limits listed below. The range shall be computed for each lot as the difference between the two test results for each control parameter. The Suspension Limits specified below are based on a sample size of n = 2. Should the Contractor elect to perform more than two tests per lot, the Suspension Limits shall be adjusted by multiplying the Suspension Limit by 1.18 for n = 3 and by 1.27 for n = 4.

c. Corrective Action. The Contractor Quality Control Plan shall indicate that appropriate action shall be taken when the process is believed to be out of tolerance. The Plan shall contain sets of rules to gauge when a process is out of control and detail what action will be taken to bring the process into control. As a minimum, a process shall be deemed out of control and production stopped and corrective action taken, if:

(1) One point falls outside the Suspension Limit line for individual measurements or range; or

(2) Two points in a row fall outside the Action Limit line for individual measurements. The aggregate control chart parameters and Suspension and Action Limits contained in the above paragraphs are based on 3/4-inch maximum size aggregate gradation. When 1-inch or 1-1/2-inch maximum size aggregate is specified, the Individual Measurements Chart requirements should be amended as follows:

Sieve Action Limit Suspension Limit

1 or 1-1/2-inch 0% 0% 3/4-inch 6% 11%

When 1/2-inch maximum aggregate is specified, the 3/4-inch and 1-inch sieves should be deleted from the Individual Measurements Chart and the 1/2-inch sieve Action and Suspension Limits should be changed to 0%. For the 1/2-inch gradation, the 1/2-inch sieve should be deleted from the Range Chart. 401-6.6 QUALITY CONTROL REPORTS. The Contractor shall maintain records and shall submit reports of quality control activities daily, in accordance with the Contractor Quality Control Program described in General Provisions, Section 100.

METHOD OF MEASUREMENT 401-7.1 MEASUREMENT. Plant mix bituminous concrete pavement shall be measured by the number of tons of bituminous mixture used in the accepted work. Recorded batch weights or truck scale weights will be used to determine the basis for the tonnage.

BASIS OF PAYMENT 401-8.1PAYMENT. Payment for an accepted lot of bituminous concrete pavement shall be made at the contract unit price per ton for bituminous mixture adjusted according to paragraph 401-8.1a., subject to the limitation that:

The total project payment for plant mix bituminous concrete pavement shall not exceed 100 percent of the product of the contract unit price and the total number of tons (kg) of bituminous mixture used in the accepted work (See Note 2 under Table 6).

The price shall be compensation for furnishing all materials, for all preparation, mixing, and placing of these materials, and for all labor, equipment, tools, and incidentals necessary to complete the item.

a. Basis of Adjusted Payment. The pay factor for each individual lot shall be calculated in accordance with Table 6. A pay factor shall be calculated for both mat density and air voids. The lot pay factor shall be the higher of the two values when calculations for both mat density and air voids are 100 percent or higher. The lot pay factor shall be the product of the two values


P-401-19 Ver. 2009

when only one of the calculations for either mat density or air voids is 100 percent or higher. The lot pay factor shall be the lower of the two values when calculations for both mat density and air voids are less than 100 percent.

1 ALTHOUGH IT IS THEORETICALLY POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE A PAY FACTOR OF 106 PERCENT FOR

EACH LOT, ACTUAL PAYMENT ABOVE 100 PERCENT SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE TOTAL PROJECT PAYMENT LIMITATION SPECIFIED IN PARAGRAPH 401-8.1

2 The lot shall be removed and replaced. However, the Engineer may decide to allow the rejected lot to remain. In

that case, if the Engineer and Contractor agree in writing, that the lot shall not be removed, it shall be paid for at 50 percent of the contract price AND THE TOTAL PROJECT PAYMENT LIMITATION SHALL BE REDUCED BY THE AMOUNT WITHHELD FOR THE REJECTED LOT.

For each lot accepted, the adjusted contract unit price shall be the product of the lot pay factor for the lot and the contract unit price. Payment shall be subject to the total project payment limitation specified in paragraph 501-8.1. Payment in excess of 100 percent for accepted lots of bituminous concrete pavement shall be used to offset payment for accepted lots of bituminous concrete pavement that achieve a lot pay factor less than 100 percent.

b. Profilograph Smoothness. When the final average profile index (subsequent to any required corrective action) does not exceed 7 inches per mile, payment will be made for that section at the contract unit price for the completed pavement. If the final average profile index (subsequent to any required corrective action) exceeds 7 inches per mile, but does not exceed 15 inches per mile, the Contractor may elect to accept a contract unit price adjustment in lieu of reducing the profile index.

c. Basis of Adjusted Payment for Smoothness. Price adjustment for pavement smoothness will be made in accordance with Table 7. The adjustment will apply to the total tonnage of asphalt concrete within a lot of pavement and shall be applied with the following equation:

(Tons of asphalt concrete in lot) x (lot pay factor) x (unit price per ton) x (smoothness pay factor) = payment for lot

To determine whether a competitor that has failed to meet MBE/WBE contract goals may receive the contract, the Authority must decide whether the efforts the competitor made to obtain MBE/WBE participation were "good faith efforts" to meet the goals. In determining whether a contractor has made good faith efforts the Authority will look not only at the different kinds of efforts that the contractor has made, but also the quantity and intensity of these efforts. The following lists kinds of efforts that may be considered:

1. Whether the contractor attended any pre-solicitation or pre-bid meetings that were scheduled by the recipient to inform MBE/WBEs of contracting and subcontracting opportunities;

2. Whether the contractor advertised in general circulation, trade association, and minority-focus media concerning the sub-contracting opportunities;

3. Whether the contractor provided written notice to a reasonable number of specific MBE/WBEs that their interest in the contract was being solicited, in sufficient time to allow the MBE/WBEs to participate effectively;

4. Whether the contractor followed up initial solicitations of interest by contacting MBE/WBEs to determine with certainty whether the MBE/WBEs were interested;

5. Whether to contractor selected portions of the work to be performed by MBE/WBEs in order to increase the likelihood of meeting the MBE/WBE goals (including, where appropriate, breaking down contracts into economically feasible units to facilitate MBE/WBE participation);

6. Whether the contractor provided interested MBE/WBEs with adequate information about the plans specifications and requirements of the contract;

7. Whether the contractor negotiated in good faith with interested MBE/WBEs, not rejecting MBE/WBEs as unqualified without sound reasons based on a thorough investigation of their capabilities;

8. Whether the contractor made efforts to assist interested MBE/WBEs in obtaining bonding, lines of credit, or insurance required by the recipient or contractor; and

9. Whether the contractor effectively used the services of available minority community organizations; minority contractors' groups; local, state and Federal minority business assistance offices; and other organizations that provide assistance in the recruitment and placement of MBE/WBEs.

Reporting is done in conjunction with a Contractor’s monthly pay application. MBE/WBE firms shall be identified in the Contractor’s schedule of values. MBE/WBE firms pay application/invoices are required as back up documentation for the Contractor’s pay application. The Contractor is also required to submit waivers of lien from each MBE/WBE firm. See attached pay application sample. SP-4 STATE OF INDIANA DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION STANDARD SPECIFICATIONS: Where indicated on the plans and/or in the specifications/special provisions that construction and materials shall conform to the State of Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) Standard Specifications, the most recent INDOT Standard Specifications and Drawings shall apply. If there is a conflict between the Indiana Department of Transportation Standard Specifications and the contents of these specifications, these specifications shall govern.

Administration

Subject: Operational Safety on

Airports During Construction

Date: 9/29/11

Initiated by: AAS-100

AC No: 150/5370-2F

1. Purpose. This AC sets forth guidelines for operational safety on airports during construction.

2. What this AC Cancels. This AC cancels AC 150/5370-2E, Operational Safety on Airports During

Construction, dated January 17, 2003.

3. Whom This AC Affects. This AC assists airport operators in complying with Title 14 Code of

Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 139, Certification of Airports (Part 139). For those certificated airports,

this AC provides one way, but not the only way, of meeting those requirements. The use of this AC is

mandatory for those airport construction projects receiving funds under the Airport Improvement Program

(AIP) or the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) Program. See Grant Assurance No. 34, “Policies,

Standards, and Specifications,” and PFC Assurance No. 9, “Standard and Specifications.” While we do

not require non-certificated airports without grant agreements to adhere to these guidelines, we

recommend that they do so to help these airports maintain operational safety during construction.

4. Principal Changes.

a. Construction activities are prohibited in safety areas while the associated runway or taxiway is

open to aircraft.

b. Guidance is provided in incorporating Safety Risk Management.

c. Recommended checklists are provided for writing Construction Safety and Phasing Plans and for

daily inspections.

5. Reading Material Related to this AC. Numerous ACs are referenced in the text of this AC. These

1 Chapter 1 Planning an Airfield Construction Project

Chapter 1. Planning an Airfield Construction Project

101. Overview. Airports are complex environments, and procedures and conditions associated with

construction activities often affect aircraft operations and can jeopardize operational safety. Safety

considerations are paramount and may make operational impacts unavoidable. However, careful planning,

scheduling, and coordination of construction activities can minimize disruption of normal aircraft

operations and avoid situations that compromise the airport’s operational safety. The airport operator

must understand how construction activities and aircraft operations affect one another to be able to

develop an effective plan to complete the project. While the guidance in this AC is primarily used for

construction operations, some of the concepts, methods and procedures described may also enhance the

day-to-day airport maintenance operations, such as lighting maintenance and snow removal operations.

102. Plan for Safety. Safety, maintaining aircraft operations, and construction costs are all

interrelated. Since safety must not be compromised, the airport operator must strike a balance between

maintaining aircraft operations and construction costs. This balance will vary widely depending on the

operational needs and resources of the airport and will require early coordination with airport users and

the FAA. As the project design progresses, the necessary construction locations, activities, and associated

costs will be identified. As they are identified, their impact to airport operations must be assessed.

Adjustments are made to the proposed construction activities, often by phasing the project, and/or to

airport operations in order to maintain operational safety. This planning effort will ultimately result in a

project Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP). The development of the CSPP takes place through

the following five steps:

a. Identify Affected Areas. The airport operator must determine the geographic areas on the airport

affected by the construction project. Some, such as a runway extension, will be defined by the project.

Others may be variable, such as the location of haul routes and material stockpiles.

b. Describe Current Operations. Identify the normal airport operations in each affected area for

each phase of the project. This becomes the baseline from which the impact on operations by construction

activities can be measured. This should include a narrative of the typical users and aircraft operating

within the affected areas. It should also include information related to airport operations: the Aircraft

Reference Code (ACRC) for each runway; Airplane Design Group (ADG) and Taxiway Design Group

(TDG)1 for each affected taxiway; designated approach visibility minimums; available approach and

departure procedures; most demanding aircraft; declared distances; available air traffic control services;

airport Surface Movement Guidance and Control System plan; and others. The applicable seasons, days

and times for certain operations should also be identified as applicable.

c. Allow for Temporary Changes to Operations. To the extent practical, current airport

operations should be maintained during the construction. In consultation with airport users, Aircraft

Rescue and Fire Fighting (ARFF) personnel, and FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO) personnel, the

airport operator should identify and prioritize the airport’s most important operations. The construction

activities should be planned, through project phasing if necessary, to safely accommodate these

operations. When the construction activities cannot be adjusted to safely maintain current operations,

regardless of their importance, then the operations must be revised accordingly. Allowable changes

include temporary revisions to approach procedures, restricting certain aircraft to specific runways and

taxiways, suspension of certain operations, decreased weights for some aircraft due to shortened runways,

1 Taxiway Design Group will be introduced in AC 150/5300-13A.

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011

Chapter 1 Planning an Airfield Construction Project 2

and other changes. An example of a table showing temporary operations versus current operations is

shown in Table 3-1 Sample Operations Effects.

d. Take Required Measures to Revised Operations. Once the level and type of aircraft operations

to be maintained are identified, the airport operator must determine the measures required to safely

conduct the planned operations during the construction. These measures will result in associated costs,

which can be broadly interpreted to include not only direct construction costs, but also loss of revenue

from impacted operations. Analysis of costs may indicate a need to reevaluate allowable changes to

operations. As aircraft operations and allowable changes will vary so widely among airports, this AC

presents general guidance on those subjects.

e. Manage Safety Risk. Certain airport projects may require the airport operator to provide a

Project Proposal Summary to help the FAA to determine the appropriate level of Safety Risk

Management (SRM) documentation. The airport operator must coordinate with the appropriate FAA

Airports Regional or District Office early in the development of the CSPP to determine the need for SRM

documentation. See FAA Order 5200.11, FAA Airports (ARP) Safety Management System (SMS), for

more information. If the FAA requires SRM documentation, the airport operator must at a minimum:

(1) Notify the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office during the project

“scope development” phase of any project requiring a CSPP.

(2) Provide documents identified by the FAA as necessary to conduct SRM.

(3) Participate in the SRM process for airport projects.

(4) Provide a representative to participate on the SRM panel.

(5) Ensure that all applicable SRM identified risks elements are recorded and mitigated

within the CSPP.

103. Develop a Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP). Development of an effective CSPP

will require familiarity with many other documents referenced throughout this AC. See Appendix 1,

Related Reading Material for a list of related reading material.

a. List Requirements. A CSPP must be developed for each on-airfield construction project funded

by the Airport Improvement Program (AIP) or the Passenger Facility Charge (PFC) program or located

on an airport certificated under Part 139. As per Order 5200.11, such projects do not include construction,

rehabilitation, or change of any facility that is entirely outside the air operations area, does not involve

any expansion of the facility envelope and does not involve construction equipment, haul routes or

placement of material in locations that require access to the air operations area, increase the facility

envelope, or impact line-of-sight. Such facilities may include passenger terminals and parking or other

structures. However, extraordinary circumstances may trigger the need for a Safety Assessment and a

CSPP. The CSPP is subject to subsequent review and approval under the FAA’s Safety Risk Management

procedures (see paragraph 102.e above). Additional information may be found in Order 5200.11.

b. Prepare a Safety Plan Compliance Document. The Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD)

details how the contractor will comply with the CSPP. Also, it will not be possible to determine all safety

plan details (for example specific hazard equipment and lighting, contractor’s points of contact,

construction equipment heights) during the development of the CSPP. The successful contractor must

define such details by preparing an SPCD that the airport operator reviews for approval prior to issuance

of a notice-to-proceed. The SPCD is a subset of the CSPP, similar to how a shop drawing review is a

subset to the technical specifications.

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F


c. Assume Responsibility for the CSPP. The airport operator is responsible for establishing and

enforcing the CSPP. The airport operator may use the services of an engineering consultant to help

develop the CSPP. However, writing the CSPP cannot be delegated to the construction contractor. Only

those details the airport operator determines cannot be addressed before contract award are developed by

the contractor and submitted for approval as the SPCD. The SPCD does not restate nor propose

differences to provisions already addressed in the CSPP.

104. Who Is Responsible for Safety During Construction?

a. Establish a Safety Culture. Everyone has a role in operational safety on airports during

construction: the airport operator, the airport’s consultants, the construction contractor and subcontractors,

airport users, airport tenants, ARFF personnel, Air Traffic personnel, including Technical Operations

personnel, FAA Airports Division personnel, and others. Close communication and coordination between

all affected parties is the key to maintaining safe operations. Such communication and coordination

should start at the project scoping meeting and continue through the completion of the project. The airport

operator and contractor should conduct onsite safety inspections throughout the project and immediately

remedy any deficiencies, whether caused by negligence, oversight, or project scope change.

b. Assess Airport Operator’s Responsibilities. An airport operator has overall responsibility for

all activities on an airport, including construction. This includes the predesign, design, preconstruction,

construction, and inspection phases. Additional information on the responsibilities listed below can be

found throughout this AC. The airport operator must:

(1) Develop a CSPP that complies with the safety guidelines of Chapter 2, Construction

Safety and Phasing Plans, and Chapter 3, Guidelines for Writing a CSPP. The airport operator may

develop the CSPP internally or have a consultant develop the CSPP for approval by the airport operator.

For tenant sponsored projects, approve a CSPP developed by the tenant or its consultant.

(2) Require, review and approve the SPCD by the contractor that indicates how it will

comply with the CSPP and provides details that cannot be determined before contract award.

(3) Convene a preconstruction meeting with the construction contractor, consultant, airport

employees and, if appropriate, tenant sponsor and other tenants to review and discuss project safety

before beginning construction activity. The appropriate FAA representatives should be invited to attend

the meeting. See AC 150/5300-9, Predesign, Prebid, and Preconstruction Conferences for Airport Grant

Projects. (Note “FAA” refers to the Airports Regional or District Office, the Air Traffic Organization,

Flight Standards Service, and other offices that support airport operations, flight regulations, and

construction/environmental policies.)

(4) Ensure contact information is accurate for each representative/point of contact

identified in the CSPP and SPCD.

(5) Hold weekly or, if necessary, daily safety meetings with all affected parties to

coordinate activities.

(6) Notify users, ARFF personnel, and FAA ATO personnel of construction and

conditions that may adversely affect the operational safety of the airport via Notices to Airmen (NOTAM)

and other methods, as appropriate. Convene a meeting for review and discussion if necessary.

(7) Ensure construction personnel know of any applicable airport procedures and of

changes to those procedures that may affect their work.

(8) Ensure construction contractors and subcontractors undergo training required by

the CSPP and SPCD.

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


(9) Ensure vehicle and pedestrian operations addressed in the CSPP and SPCD are

coordinated with airport tenants, the airport traffic control tower (ATCT), and construction contractors.

(10) At certificated airports, ensure each CSPP and SPCD is consistent with Part 139.

(11) Conduct inspections sufficiently frequently to ensure construction contractors and

tenants comply with the CSPP and SPCD and that there are no altered construction activities that could

create potential safety hazards.

(12) Resolve safety deficiencies immediately. At airports subject to 49 CFR Part 1542,

Airport Security, ensure construction access complies with the security requirements of that regulation.

(13) Notify appropriate parties when conditions exist that invoke provisions of the CSPP

and SPCD (for example, implementation of low-visibility operations).

(14) Ensure prompt submittal of a Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration (Form

7460-1) for conducting an aeronautical study of potential obstructions such as tall equipment (cranes,

concrete pumps, other.), stock piles, and haul routes. A separate form may be filed for each potential

obstruction, or one form may be filed describing the entire construction area and maximum equipment

height. In the latter case, a separate form must be filed for any object beyond or higher than the originally

evaluated area/height. The FAA encourages online submittal of forms for expediency. The appropriate

FAA Airports Regional or District Office can provide assistance in determining which objects require an

aeronautical study.

(15) Promptly notify the FAA Airports Regional or District Office of any proposed

changes to the CSPP prior to implementation of the change. Changes to the CSPP require review and

approval by the airport operator and the FAA. Coordinate with appropriate local and other federal

government agencies, such as EPA, OSHA, TSA, and the state environmental agency.

c. Define Construction Contractor’s Responsibilities. The contractor is responsible for

complying with the CSPP and SPCD. The contractor must:

(1) Submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD) to the airport operator describing

how it will comply with the requirements of the CSPP and supplying any details that could not be

determined before contract award. The SPCD must include a certification statement by the contractor that

indicates it understands the operational safety requirements of the CSPP and it asserts it will not deviate

from the approved CSPP and SPCD unless written approval is granted by the airport operator. Any

construction practice proposed by the contractor that does not conform to the CSPP and SPCD may

impact the airport’s operational safety and will require a revision to the CSPP and SPCD and re-

coordination with the airport operator and the FAA in advance.

(2) Have available at all times copies of the CSPP and SPCD for reference by the airport

operator and its representatives, and by subcontractors and contractor employees.

(3) Ensure that construction personnel are familiar with safety procedures and regulations

on the airport. Provide a point of contact who will coordinate an immediate response to correct any

construction-related activity that may adversely affect the operational safety of the airport. Many projects

will require 24-hour coverage.

(4) Identify in the SPCD the contractor’s on-site employees responsible for monitoring

compliance with the CSPP and SPCD during construction. At least one of these employees must be on-

site whenever active construction is taking place.

(5) Conduct inspections sufficiently frequently to ensure construction personnel comply

with the CSPP and SPCD and that there are no altered construction activities that could create potential

safety hazards.

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F


(6) Restrict movement of construction vehicles and personnel to permitted construction

areas by flagging, barricading, erecting temporary fencing, or providing escorts, as appropriate and as

specified in the CSPP and SPCD.

(7) Ensure that no contractor employees, employees of subcontractors or suppliers, or

other persons enter any part of the air operations area (AOA) from the construction site unless authorized.

(8) Ensure prompt submittal through the airport operator of Form 7460-1 for the

purpose of conducting an aeronautical study of contractor equipment such as tall equipment (cranes,

concrete pumps, other equipment), stock piles, and haul routes when different from cases previously filed

by the airport operator. The FAA encourages online submittal of forms for expediency.

d. Define Tenant’s Responsibilities if planning construction activities on leased property. Airport

tenants, such as airline operators, fixed base operators, and FAA ATO/Technical Operations sponsoring

construction must:

(1) Develop, or have a consultant develop, a project specific CSPP and submit it to the

airport operator for certification and subsequent approval by the FAA. The approved CSPP must be made

part of any contract awarded by the tenant for construction work.

(2) In coordination with its contractor, develop an SPCD and submit it to the airport

operator for approval to be issued prior to issuance of a Notice to Proceed.

(3) Ensure that construction personnel are familiar with safety procedures and

regulations on the airport.

(4) Provide a point of contact of who will coordinate an immediate response to correct any

construction-related activity that may adversely affect the operational safety of the airport.

(5) Identify in the SPCD the contractor’s on-site employees responsible for monitoring

compliance with the CSPP and SPCD during construction. At least one of these employees must be on-

site whenever active construction is taking place.

(6) Ensure that no tenant or contractor employees, employees of subcontractors or

suppliers, or any other persons enter any part of the AOA from the construction site unless authorized.

(7) Restrict movement of construction vehicles to construction areas by flagging and

barricading, erecting temporary fencing, or providing escorts, as appropriate, and as specified in the CSPP

and SPCD.

(8) Ensure prompt submittal through the airport operator of Form 7460-1 for the

purpose of conducting an aeronautical study of contractor equipment such as tall equipment (cranes,

concrete pumps, other.), stock piles, and haul routes. The FAA encourages online submittal of forms for

expediency.

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F

7 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans

Chapter 2. Construction Safety and Phasing Plans

Section 1. Basic Considerations

201. Overview. Aviation safety is the primary consideration at airports, especially during construction.

The airport operator’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. These documents identify all aspects of the construction

project that pose a potential safety hazard to airport operations and outline respective mitigation

procedures for each hazard. They must provide all information necessary for the Airport Operations

department to conduct airfield inspections and expeditiously identify and 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.

202. Assume Responsibility. Operational safety on the airport remains the airport operator’s

responsibility at all times. The airport operator must develop, certify, and submit for FAA approval each

CSPP. It is the airport operator’s responsibility to apply the requirements of the FAA approved CSPP.

The airport operator must revise the CSPP when conditions warrant changes and must submit the revised

CSPP to the FAA for approval. The airport operator must also require and approve a SPCD from the

project contractor.

203. Submit the CSPP. Construction Safety and Phasing Plans should be developed concurrently with

the project design. Milestone versions of the CSPP should be submitted for review and approval as

follows. While these milestones are not mandatory, early submission will help to avoid delays. Submittals

are preferred in 8.5 x 11 in or 11 x 17 in format for compatibility with the FAA’s Obstruction Evaluation /

Airport Airspace Analysis (OE / AAA) process.

a. Submit an Outline/Draft. By the time approximately 25% to 30% of the project design is

completed, the principal elements of the CSPP should be established. Airport operators are encouraged to

submit an outline or draft, detailing all CSPP provisions developed to date, to the FAA for review at this

stage of the project design.

b. Submit a Construction Safety and Phasing Plan (CSPP). The CSPP should be formally

submitted for FAA approval when the project design is 80% to 90% complete. Since provisions in the

CSPP will influence contract costs, it is important to obtain FAA approval in time to include all such

provisions in the procurement contract.

c. Submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD). The contractor should submit the SPCD

to the airport operator for approval to be issued prior to the Notice to Proceed.

d. Submit CSPP Revisions. All revisions to the CSPP or SPCD should be submitted to the FAA for

approval as soon as required changes are identified.

204. Meet CSPP Requirements.

a. To the extent possible, the CSPP should address the following as outlined in Section 2, Plan

Requirements and Chapter 3, Guidelines for Writing a CSPP, as appropriate. Details that cannot be

determined at this stage are to be included in the SPCD.

approval date of the CSPP, and a reference to any supplemental information (that is, “I , Name of

Contractor , have read the Title of Project CSPP, approved on Date , and will abide by it as written and

with the following additions as noted:”). The supplemental information in the SPCD should be written to

match the format of the CSPP indicating each subject by corresponding CSPP subject number and title. If

no supplemental information is necessary for any specific subject, the statement, “No supplemental

information,” should be written after the corresponding subject title. The SPCD should not duplicate

information in the CSPP:

operations, including details of barricades.

(18) Other limitations on construction should be identified in the CSPP and should not

require an entry in the SPCD.

Section 2. Plan Requirements

205. Coordination. Airport operators, or tenants conducting construction on their leased properties,

should use predesign, prebid, and preconstruction conferences to introduce the subject of airport

operational safety during construction (see AC 150/5300-9). In addition, the following should be

coordinated as required:

a. Contractor Progress Meetings. Operational safety should be a standing agenda item for

discussion during progress meetings throughout the project.

b. Scope or Schedule Changes. Changes in the scope or duration of the project may necessitate

revisions to the CSPP and review and approval by the airport operator and the FAA.

c. FAA ATO Coordination. Early coordination with FAA ATO is required to schedule airway

facility shutdowns and restarts. Relocation or adjustments to NAVAIDs, or changes to final grades in

critical areas, may require an FAA flight inspection prior to restarting the facility. Flight inspections must

be coordinated and scheduled well in advance of the intended facility restart. Flight inspections may

require a reimbursable agreement between the airport operator and FAA ATO. Reimbursable agreements

should be coordinated a minimum of 12 months prior to the start of construction. (See 213.e(3)(b) for

required FAA notification regarding FAA owned NAVAIDs.)

206. Phasing. Once it has been determined what types and levels of airport operations will be

maintained, the most efficient sequence of construction may not be feasible. In such a case, the sequence

of construction may be phased to gain maximum efficiency while allowing for the required operations.

The development of the resulting construction phases should be coordinated with local Air Traffic

personnel and airport users. The sequenced construction phases established in the CSPP must be

incorporated into the project design and must be reflected in the contract drawings and specifications.

a. Phase Elements. For each phase the CSPP should detail:

Areas closed to aircraft operations

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


Duration of closures

Taxi routes

ARFF access routes

Construction staging areas

Construction access and haul routes

Impacts to NAVAIDs

Lighting and marking changes

Available runway length

Declared distances (if applicable)

Required hazard marking and lighting

Lead times for required notifications

b. Construction Safety Drawings. Drawings specifically indicating operational safety procedures

and methods in affected areas (that is, construction safety drawings) should be developed for each

construction phase. Such drawings should be included in the CSPP as referenced attachments and should

likewise be included in the contract drawing package.

207. Areas and Operations Affected by Construction Activity. Runways and taxiways should

remain in use by aircraft to the maximum extent possible without compromising safety. Pre-meetings

with the FAA Air Traffic Organization (ATO) will support operational simulations. See Chapter 3 for an

example of a table showing temporary operations versus current operations.

a. Identification of Affected Areas. Identifying areas and operations affected by the construction

will help to determine possible safety problems. The affected areas should be indentified in the

construction safety drawings for each construction phase. (See 206.b above.) Of particular concern are:

(1) Closing, or partial closing, of runways, taxiways and aprons. When a runway is

partially closed, a portion of the pavement is unavailable for any aircraft operation, meaning taxiing,

landing, or taking off in either direction on that pavement is prohibited. A displaced threshold, by

contrast, is established to ensure obstacle clearance and adequate safety area for landing aircraft. The

pavement prior to the displaced threshold is available for take-off in the direction of the displacement and

for landing and taking off in the opposite direction. Misunderstanding this difference, and issuance of a

subsequently inaccurate NOTAM, can lead to a hazardous condition.

(2) Closing of Aircraft Rescue and Fire Fighting access routes.

(3) Closing of access routes used by airport and airline support vehicles.

(4) Interruption of utilities, including water supplies for fire fighting.

(5) Approach/departure surfaces affected by heights of objects.

(6) Construction areas, storage areas, and access routes near runways, taxiways, aprons, or

helipads.

b. Mitigation of Effects. Establishment of specific procedures is necessary to maintain the safety

and efficiency of airport operations. The CSPP must address:

(1) Temporary changes to runway and/or taxi operations.

(2) Detours for ARFF and other airport vehicles.

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F


(3) Maintenance of essential utilities.

(4) Temporary changes to air traffic control procedures. Such changes must be

coordinated with the ATO.

208. Navigation Aid (NAVAID) Protection. Before commencing construction activity, parking

vehicles, or storing construction equipment and materials near a NAVAID, coordinate with the

appropriate FAA ATO/Technical Operations office to evaluate the effect of construction activity and the

required distance and direction from the NAVAID. (See paragraph 213.e(3) below.) Construction

activities, materials/equipment storage, and vehicle parking near electronic NAVAIDs require special

consideration since they may interfere with signals essential to air navigation. If any NAVAID may be

affected, the CSPP and SPCD must show an understanding of the “critical area” associated with each

NAVAID and describe how it will be protected. Where applicable, the operational critical areas of

NAVAIDs should be graphically delineated on the project drawings. Pay particular attention to

stockpiling material, as well as to movement and parking of equipment that may interfere with line of

sight from the ATCT or with electronic emissions. Interference from construction equipment and

activities may require NAVAID shutdown or adjustment of instrument approach minimums for low

visibility operations. This condition requires that a NOTAM be filed (see paragraph 213.b below).

Construction activities and materials/equipment storage near a NAVAID must not obstruct access to the

equipment and instruments for maintenance. Submittal of a 7460-1 form is required for construction

vehicles operating near FAA NAVAIDs. (See paragraph 213.e(1) below.)

209. Contractor Access. The CSPP must detail the areas to which the contractor must have access,

and explain how contractor personnel will access those areas. Specifically address:

a. Location of Stockpiled Construction Materials. Stockpiled materials and equipment storage

are not permitted within the RSA and OFZ, and if possible should not be permitted within the Object Free

Area (OFA) of an operational runway. Stockpiling material in the OFA requires submittal of a 7460-1

form and justification provided to the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office for approval.

The airport operator must ensure that stockpiled materials and equipment adjacent to these areas are

prominently marked and lighted during hours of restricted visibility or darkness. (See paragraph 218.b

below.) This includes determining and verifying that materials are stabilized and stored at an approved

location so as not to be a hazard to aircraft operations and to prevent attraction of wildlife and foreign

object damage. See paragraphs 210 and 211 below.

b. Vehicle and Pedestrian Operations. The CSPP should include specific vehicle and pedestrian

requirements. Vehicle and pedestrian access routes for airport construction projects must be controlled to

prevent inadvertent or unauthorized entry of persons, vehicles, or animals onto the AOA. The airport

operator should coordinate requirements for vehicle operations with airport tenants, contractors, and the

FAA air traffic manager. In regard to vehicle and pedestrian operations, the CSPP should include the

following, and detail associated training requirements:

(1) Construction site parking. Designate in advance vehicle parking areas for contractor

employees to prevent any unauthorized entry of persons or vehicles onto the AOA. These areas should

provide reasonable contractor employee access to the job site.

(2) Construction equipment parking. Contractor employees must park and service all

construction vehicles in an area designated by the airport operator outside the OFZ and never in the safety

area of an active runway or taxiway. Unless a complex setup procedure makes movement of specialized

equipment infeasible, inactive equipment must not be parked on a closed taxiway or runway. If it is

necessary to leave specialized equipment on a closed taxiway or runway at night, the equipment must be

well lighted. Employees should also park construction vehicles outside the OFA when not in use by

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


construction personnel (for example, overnight, on weekends, or during other periods when construction

is not active). Parking areas must not obstruct the clear line of sight by the ATCT to any taxiways or

runways under air traffic control nor obstruct any runway visual aids, signs, or navigation aids. The FAA

must also study those areas to determine effects on airport design criteria, surfaces established by 14 CFR

Part 77, Safe, Efficient Use, and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace (Part 77), and on NAVAIDs and

Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP). See paragraph 213.e(1) below for further information.

(3) Access and haul roads. Determine the construction contractor’s access to the

construction sites and haul roads. Do not permit the construction contractor to use any access or haul

roads other than those approved. Access routes used by contractor vehicles must be clearly marked to

prevent inadvertent entry to areas open to airport operations. Pay special attention to ensure that if

construction traffic is to share or cross any ARFF routes that ARFF right of way is not impeded at any

time, and that construction traffic on haul roads does not interfere with NAVAIDs or approach surfaces of

operational runways.

(4) Marking and lighting of vehicles in accordance with AC 150/5210-5, Painting,

Marking, and Lighting of Vehicles Used on an Airport.

(5) Description of proper vehicle operations on various areas under normal, lost

communications, and emergency conditions.

(6) Required escorts.

(7) Training requirements for vehicle drivers to ensure compliance with the airport

operator’s vehicle rules and regulations. Specific training should be provided to those vehicle operators

providing escorts. See AC 150/5210-20, Ground Vehicle Operations on Airports, for information on

training and records maintenance requirements.

(8) Situational awareness. Vehicle drivers must confirm by personal observation that no

aircraft is approaching their position (either in the air or on the ground) when given clearance to cross a

runway, taxiway, or any other area open to airport operations. In addition, it is the responsibility of the

escort vehicle driver to verify the movement/position of all escorted vehicles at any given time.

(9) Two-way radio communication procedures.

(a) General. The airport operator must ensure that tenant and construction contractor

personnel engaged in activities involving unescorted operation on aircraft movement areas observe the

proper procedures for communications, including using appropriate radio frequencies at airports with and

without ATCT. When operating vehicles on or near open runways or taxiways, construction personnel

must understand the critical importance of maintaining radio contact, as directed by the airport operator,

with:

(i) Airport operations

(ii) ATCT

(iii) Common Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF), which may include UNICOM,

MULTICOM.

(iv) Automatic Terminal Information Service (ATIS). This frequency is useful for

monitoring conditions on the airport. Local air traffic will broadcast information regarding construction

related runway closures and “shortened” runways on the ATIS frequency.

(b) Areas requiring two-way radio communication with the ATCT. Vehicular traffic

crossing active movement areas must be controlled either by two-way radio with the ATCT, escort,

flagman, signal light, or other means appropriate for the particular airport.

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F


(c) Frequencies to be used. The airport operator will specify the frequencies to be

used by the contractor, which may include the CTAF for monitoring of aircraft operations. Frequencies

may also be assigned by the airport operator for other communications, including any radio frequency in

compliance with Federal Communications Commission requirements. At airports with an ATCT, the

airport operator will specify the frequency assigned by the ATCT to be used between contractor vehicles

and the ATCT.

(d) Proper radio usage, including read back requirements.

(e) Proper phraseology, including the International Phonetic Alphabet.

(f) Light gun signals. Even though radio communication is maintained, escort

vehicle drivers must also familiarize themselves with ATCT light gun signals in the event of radio failure.

See the FAA safety placard “Ground Vehicle Guide to Airport Signs and Markings.” This safety placard

may be downloaded through the Runway Safety Program Web site at http://www.faa.gov/airports/

runway_safety/publications/ (See “Signs & Markings Vehicle Dashboard Sticker”.) or obtained from the

FAA Airports Regional Office.

(10) Maintenance of the secured area of the airport, including:

(a) Fencing and gates. Airport operators and contractors must take care to maintain

security during construction when access points are created in the security fencing to permit the passage

of construction vehicles or personnel. Temporary gates should be equipped so they can be securely closed

and locked to prevent access by animals and unauthorized people. Procedures should be in place to ensure

that only authorized persons and vehicles have access to the AOA and to prohibit “piggybacking” behind

another person or vehicle. The Department of Transportation (DOT) document DOT/FAA/AR-00/52,

Recommended Security Guidelines for Airport Planning and Construction, provides more specific

information on fencing. A copy of this document can be obtained from the Airport Consultants Council,

Airports Council International, or American Association of Airport Executives.

(b) Badging requirements.

(c) Airports subject to 49 CFR Part 1542, Airport Security, must meet standards for

access control, movement of ground vehicles, and identification of construction contractor and tenant

personnel.

210. Wildlife Management. The CSPP and SPCD must be in accordance with the airport operator’s

wildlife hazard management plan, if applicable. See also AC 150/5200-33, Hazardous Wildlife

Attractants On or Near Airports, and Certalert 98-05, Grasses Attractive to Hazardous Wildlife.

Construction contractors must carefully control and continuously remove waste or loose materials that

might attract wildlife. Contractor personnel must be aware of and avoid construction activities that can

create wildlife hazards on airports, such as:

a. Trash. Food scraps must be collected from construction personnel activity.

b. Standing Water.

c. Tall Grass and Seeds. Requirements for turf establishment can be at odds with requirements for

wildlife control. Grass seed is attractive to birds. Lower quality seed mixtures can contain seeds of plants

(such as clover) that attract larger wildlife. Seeding should comply with the guidance in AC 150/5370-10,

Standards for Specifying Construction of Airports, Item T-901, Seeding. Contact the local office of the

United Sates Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service or the State University Agricultural

Extension Service (County Agent or equivalent) for assistance and recommendations. These agencies can

also provide liming and fertilizer recommendations.

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


d. Poorly Maintained Fencing and Gates. See 209.b(10)(a) above.

e. Disruption of Existing Wildlife Habitat. While this will frequently be unavoidable due to the

nature of the project, the CSPP should specify under what circumstances (location, wildlife type)

contractor personnel should immediately notify the airport operator of wildlife sightings.

211. 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 150/5210-24, Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Management.

212. Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Management. Contractors operating construction vehicles

and equipment on the airport must be prepared to expeditiously contain and clean-up spills resulting from

fuel or hydraulic fluid leaks. Transport and handling of other hazardous materials on an airport also

requires special procedures. See AC 150/5320-15, Management of Airport Industrial Waste.

213. Notification of Construction Activities. The CSPP and SPCD must detail procedures for the

immediate notification of airport users and the FAA of any conditions adversely affecting the operational

safety of the airport. It must address the notification actions described below, as applicable.

a. List of Responsible Representatives/ points of contact for all involved parties, and procedures

for contacting each of them, including after hours.

b. NOTAMs. Only the airport operator may initiate or cancel NOTAMs on airport conditions, and

is the only entity that can close or open a runway. The airport operator must coordinate the issuance,

maintenance, and cancellation of NOTAMs about airport conditions resulting from construction activities

with tenants and the local air traffic facility (control tower, approach control, or air traffic control center),

and must provide information on closed or hazardous conditions on airport movement areas to the FAA

Flight Service Station (FSS) so it can issue a NOTAM. The airport operator must file and maintain a list

of authorized representatives with the FSS. Refer to AC 150/5200-28, Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) for

Airport Operators, for a sample NOTAM form. Only the FAA may issue or cancel NOTAMs on

shutdown or irregular operation of FAA owned facilities. Any person having reason to believe that a

NOTAM is missing, incomplete, or inaccurate must notify the airport operator. See paragraph 207.a(1)

above regarding issuing NOTAMs for partially closed runways versus runways with displaced thresholds.

c. Emergency notification procedures for medical, fire fighting, and police response.

d. Coordination with ARFF. The CSPP must detail procedures for coordinating through the airport

sponsor with ARFF personnel, mutual aid providers, and other emergency services if construction

requires:

The deactivation and subsequent reactivation of water lines or fire hydrants, or

The rerouting, blocking and restoration of emergency access routes, or

The use of hazardous materials on the airfield.

e. Notification to the FAA.

(1) Part 77. 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

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F


parking areas for this equipment (i.e. cranes, graders, other equipment) on airports. FAA Form 7460-1,

Notice of Proposed Construction or Alteration, can be used for this purpose and submitted to the

appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office. See Appendix 1, Related Reading Material, to

download the form. Further guidance is available on the FAA web site at oeaaa.faa.gov.

(2) Part 157. With some exceptions, Title 14 CFR Part 157, Notice of Construction,

Alteration, Activation, and Deactivation of Airports, requires that the airport operator 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 7480-1, Notice of Landing Area Proposal, to the nearest FAA Airports Regional or District Office.

See Appendix 1, Related Reading Material to download the form.

(3) NAVAIDS. For emergency (short-notice) notification about impacts to both airport

owned and FAA owned NAVAIDs, contact: 866-432-2622.

(a) 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.

(b) FAA owned.

(i) General. The airport operator must notify the appropriate 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 airport operator.)

(ii) 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.

214. Inspection Requirements.

a. Daily Inspections. Inspections should be conducted at least daily, but more frequently if

necessary to ensure conformance with the CSPP. A sample checklist is provided in Appendix 3, Safety

and Phasing Plan Checklist. See also AC 150/5200-18, Airport Safety Self-Inspection.

b. Final Inspections. New runways and extended runway closures may require safety inspections at

certificated airports prior to allowing air carrier service. Coordinate with the FAA Airport Certification

Safety Inspector (ACSI) to determine if a final inspection will be necessary.

215. Underground Utilities. The CSPP and/or SPCD must include procedures for locating and

protecting existing underground utilities, cables, wires, pipelines, and other underground facilities in

excavation areas. This may involve coordinating with public utilities and FAA ATO/Technical

Operations. Note that “One Call” or “Miss Utility” services do not include FAA ATO/Technical

Operations

216. Penalties. The CSPP should detail penalty provisions for noncompliance with airport rules and

regulations and the safety plans (for example, if a vehicle is involved in a runway incursion). Such

penalties typically include rescission of driving privileges or access to the AOA.

217. Special Conditions. The CSPP must detail any special conditions that affect the operation of the

http://oeaaa.faa.gov/

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


airport and will require the activation of any special procedures (for example, low-visibility operations,

snow removal, aircraft in distress, aircraft accident, security breach, Vehicle / Pedestrian Deviation (VPD)

and other activities requiring construction suspension/resumption).

218. Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids. Includes marking, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDS.

The CSPP must ensure that areas where aircraft will be operating are clearly and visibly separated from

construction areas, including closed runways. Throughout the duration of the construction project, 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. The CSPP must address the following, as appropriate:

a. General. Airport markings, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDs must be clearly visible to pilots,

not misleading, confusing, or deceptive. All must 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.

b. Markings. Markings must be in compliance with the standards of AC 150/5340-1, Standards for

Airport Markings. Runways and runway exit taxiways closed to aircraft operations are marked with a

yellow X. The preferred visual aid to depict temporary runway closure is the lighted X signal placed on or

near the runway designation numbers. (See paragraph 218.b(1)(b) below.)

(1) Closed Runways and Taxiways.

(a) Permanently Closed Runways. For runways, obliterate the threshold marking,

runway designation marking, and touchdown zone markings, and place Xs at each end and at 1,000-foot

(300 m) intervals.

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F


(b) Temporarily Closed Runways. For runways that have been temporarily closed,

place an X at the each end of the runway directly on or as near as practicable to the runway designation

numbers. Figure 2-1 illustrates.

Figure 2-1 Markings for a Temporarily Closed Runway

(c) Partially Closed Runways and Displaced Thresholds. When threshold markings

are needed to identify the temporary beginning of the runway that is available for landing, the markings

must comply with AC 150/5340-1. An X is not used on a partially closed runway or a runway with a

displaced threshold. See paragraph 207.a(1) above for the difference between partially closed runways

and runways with displaced thresholds.

(i) Partially Closed Runways. Pavement markings for temporary closed portions of

the runway consist of a runway threshold bar and yellow chevrons to identify pavement areas that are

unsuitable for takeoff or landing (see AC 150/5340-1).

(ii) Displaced Thresholds. Pavement markings for a displaced threshold consist of a

runway threshold bar and white arrowheads with and without arrow shafts. These markings are required

to identify the portion of the runway before the displaced threshold to provide centerline guidance for

pilots during approaches, takeoffs, and landing rollouts from the opposite direction. See AC 150/5340-1.

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


(d) Taxiways.

(i) Permanently Closed Taxiways. AC 150/5300-13 notes that it is preferable to

remove the pavement, but for pavement that is to remain, place an X at the entrance to both ends of the

closed section. Obliterate taxiway centerline markings, including runway leadoff lines, leading to the

closed taxiway. Figure 2-2 illustrates.

Figure 2-2 Taxiway Closure

(ii) Temporarily Closed Taxiways. Place barricades outside the safety area of

intersecting taxiways. For runway/taxiway intersections, place an X 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. If the centerline markings will be

reused upon reopening the taxiway, it is preferable to paint over the marking. This will result in less

damage to the pavement when the upper layer of paint is ultimately removed.

(e) Temporarily Closed Airport. When the airport is closed temporarily, mark all the

runways as closed.

(2) If unable to paint temporary markings on the pavement, construct them from any of the

following materials: fabric, colored plastic, painted sheets of plywood, or similar materials. They must be

properly configured and appropriately secured to prevent movement by prop wash, jet blast, or other wind

currents.

(3) It may be necessary to remove or cover runway markings, including but not limited to,

runway designation markings, threshold markings, centerline markings, edge stripes, touchdown zone

markings and aiming point markings, depending on the length of construction and type of activity at the

airport. When removing runway markings, apply the same treatment to areas between stripes or numbers,

as the cleaned area will appear to pilots as a marking in the shape of the treated area.

(4) If it is not possible to install threshold bars, chevrons, and arrows on the pavement,

temporary outboard markings may be used. Locate them outside of the runway pavement surface on both

sides of the runway. The dimension along the runway direction must be the same as if installed on the

pavement. The lateral dimension must be at least one-half that of on-pavement markings. If the markings

are not discernible on grass or snow, apply a black background with appropriate material over the ground

to ensure they are clearly visible.

(5) The application rate of paint to mark a short-term temporary runway and taxiway

markings may deviate from the standard (see Item P-620, “Runway and Taxiway Painting,” in AC

150/5370-10), but the dimensions must meet the existing standards.

c. Lighting and Visual NAVAIDs. This paragraph refers to standard runway and taxiway lighting

systems. See below for hazard lighting. Lighting must be in conformance with AC 150/5340-30, Design

and Installation Details for Airport Visual Aids, and AC 150/5345-50, Specification for Portable Runway

and Taxiway Lights. When disconnecting runway and taxiway lighting fixtures, disconnect the associated

isolation transformers. Alternately, cover the light fixture in such a way as to prevent light leakage. Avoid

removing the lamp from energized fixtures because an excessive number of isolation transformers with

open secondaries may damage the regulators and/or increase the current above its normal value. Secure,

identify, and place any above ground temporary wiring in conduit to prevent electrocution and fire

ignition sources.

(1) Permanently Closed Runways and Taxiways. For runways and taxiways that have

been permanently closed, disconnect the lighting circuits.

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


(2) Temporarily Closed Runways. If available, use a lighted X, both at night and during the

day, placed at each end of the runway facing the approach. The use of a lighted X is required if night

work requires runway lighting to be on. See AC 150/5345-55, Specification for L-893, Lighted Visual

Aid to Indicate Temporary Runway Closure. For runways that have been temporarily closed, but for an

extended period, and for those with pilot controlled lighting, disconnect the lighting circuits or secure

switches to prevent inadvertent activation. For runways that will be opened periodically, coordinate

procedures with the FAA air traffic manager or, at airports without an ATCT, the airport operator.

Activate stop bars if available. Figure 2-3 shows a lighted X by day. Figure 2-4 shows a lighted X at

night.

Figure 2-3 Lighted X in Daytime

Figure 2-4 Lighted X at Night

(3) Partially Closed Runways and Displaced Thresholds. When a runway is partially

closed, a portion of the pavement is unavailable for any aircraft operation, meaning taxiing and landing or

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F


taking off in either direction. A displaced threshold, by contrast, is put in place to ensure obstacle

clearance by landing aircraft. The pavement prior to the displaced threshold is available for takeoff in the

direction of the displacement, and for landing and takeoff in the opposite direction. Misunderstanding this

difference and issuance of a subsequently inaccurate NOTAM can result in a hazardous situation. For

both partially closed runways and displaced thresholds, approach lighting systems at the affected end

must be placed out of service

(a) Partially Closed Runways. Disconnect edge and threshold lights on that part of

the runway at and behind the threshold (that is, the portion of the runway that is closed). Alternately,

cover the light fixture in such a way as to prevent light leakage.

(b) Displaced Thresholds. Edge lighting in the area of the displacement emits red

light in the direction of approach and yellow light in the opposite direction. Centerline lights are blanked

out in the direction of approach if the displacement is 700 ft or less. If the displacement is over 700 ft,

place the centerline lights out of service. See AC 150/5340-30 for details on lighting displaced thresholds.

(c) Temporary runway thresholds and runway ends must be lighted if the runway is

lighted and it is the intended threshold for night landings or instrument meteorological conditions.

(d) A temporary threshold on an unlighted runway may be marked by retroreflective,

elevated markers in addition to markings noted in paragraph 218.b(1)(c) above. Markers seen by aircraft

on approach are green. Markers at the rollout end of the runway are red. At certificated airports,

temporary elevated threshold markers must be mounted with a frangible fitting (see 14 CFR Part

139.309). At non-certificated airports, the temporary elevated threshold markings may either be mounted

with a frangible fitting or be flexible. See AC 150/5345-39, Specification for L-853, Runway and

Taxiway Retroreflective Markers.

(e) Temporary threshold lights and end lights and related visual NAVAIDs are

installed outboard of the edges of the full-strength pavement only when they cannot be installed on the

pavement. They are installed with bases at grade level or as low as possible, but not more than 3 in (7.6

cm) above ground. When any portion of a base is above grade, place properly compacted fill around the

base to minimize the rate of gradient change so aircraft can, in an emergency, cross at normal landing or

takeoff speeds without incurring significant damage. See AC 150/5370-10.

(f) Maintain threshold and edge lighting color and spacing standards as described in

AC 150/5340-30. Battery powered, solar, or portable lights that meet the criteria in AC 150/5345-50 may

be used. These systems are intended primarily for visual flight rules (VFR) aircraft operations but may be

used for instrument flight rules (IFR) aircraft operations, upon individual approval from the Flight

Standards Division of the applicable FAA Regional Office.

(g) Reconfigure yellow lenses (caution zone), as necessary. If the runway has

centerline lights, reconfigure the red lenses, as necessary, or place the centerline lights out of service.

(h) Relocate the visual glide slope indicator (VGSI), such as VASI and PAPI; other

airport lights, such as Runway End Identifier Lights (REIL); and approach lights to identify the temporary

threshold. Another option is to disable the VGSI or any equipment that would give misleading indications

to pilots as to the new threshold location. Installation of temporary visual aids may be necessary to

provide adequate guidance to pilots on approach to the affected runway. If the FAA owns and operates

the VGSI, coordinate its installation or disabling with the local ATO/Technical Operations Office.

Relocation of such visual aids will depend on the duration of the project and the benefits gained from the

relocation, as this can result in great expense.

(i) Issue a NOTAM to inform pilots of temporary lighting conditions.

(4) Temporarily Closed Taxiways. If possible, deactivate the taxiway lighting circuits.

When deactivation is not possible (for example other taxiways on the same circuit are to remain open),

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


cover the light fixture in such a way as to prevent light leakage.

d. Signs. To the extent possible, signs must be in conformance with AC 150/5345-44, Specification

for Runway and Taxiway Signs and AC 150/5340-18, Standard for Airport Sign Systems. Any time a

sign does not serve its normal function; it must be covered or removed to prevent misdirecting pilots.

Note that information signs identifying a crossing taxiway continue to perform their normal function even

if the crossing taxiway is closed. For long term construction projects, consider relocating signs, especially

runway distance remaining signs.

219. Marking and Signs for Access Routes. The CSPP should indicate that pavement markings and

signs for construction personnel will conform to AC 150/5340-18 and, to the extent practicable, with the

Federal Highway Administration Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and/or State

highway specifications. Signs adjacent to areas used by aircraft must comply with the frangibility

requirements of AC 150/5220-23, Frangible Connections, which may require modification to size and

height guidance in the MUTCD.

220. Hazard Marking, Lighting and Signing.

a. Hazard Marking and Lighting Prevents Pilots from entering areas closed to aircraft, and

prevents construction personnel from entering areas open to aircraft. The CSPP must specify prominent,

comprehensible warning indicators for any area affected by construction that is normally accessible to

aircraft, personnel, or vehicles. Hazard marking and lighting must also be specified to identify open

manholes, small areas under repair, stockpiled material, waste areas, and areas subject to jet blast. Also

consider less obvious construction-related hazards and include markings to identify FAA, airport, and

National Weather Service facilities cables and power lines; instrument landing system (ILS) critical areas;

airport surfaces, such as RSA, OFA, and OFZ; and other sensitive areas to make it easier for contractor

personnel to avoid these areas.

b. Equipment.

(1) Barricades, including traffic cones, (weighted or sturdily attached to the surface) are

acceptable methods used to identify and define the limits of construction and hazardous areas on airports.

Careful consideration must be given to selecting equipment that poses the least danger to aircraft but is

sturdy enough to remain in place when subjected to typical winds, prop wash and jet blast. The spacing of

barricades must be such that a breach is physically prevented barring a deliberate act. For example, if

barricades are intended to exclude vehicles, gaps between barricades must be smaller than the width of

the excluded vehicles, generally 4 ft. Provision must be made for ARFF access if necessary. If barricades

are intended to exclude pedestrians, they must be continuously linked. Continuous linking may be

accomplished through the use of ropes, securely attached to prevent FOD.

(2) Lights must be red, either steady burning or flashing, and must meet the luminance

requirements of the State Highway Department. 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.

(3) Supplement barricades with signs (for example “No Entry,” “No Vehicles”) as

necessary.

(4) Air Operations Area – General. Barricades are not permitted in any active safety area.

Within a runway or taxiway object free area, and on aprons, use orange traffic cones, flashing or steady

burning red lights as noted above, collapsible barricades marked with diagonal, alternating orange and

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F


white stripes; and/or signs to separate all construction/maintenance areas from the movement area.

Barricades may be supplemented with alternating orange and white flags at least 20 by 20 in (50 by 50

cm) square and securely fastened to eliminate FOD. All barricades adjacent to any open runway or

taxiway / taxilane 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. Figure 2-5 and Figure 2-6 show sample barricades with proper coloring and flags.

Figure 2-5 Interlocking Barricades

Figure 2-6 Low Profile Barricades

(5) Air Operations Area – Runway/Taxiway Intersections. Use highly reflective

barricades with lights to close taxiways leading to closed runways. 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 is appropriate for short duration closures.

(6) Air Operations Area – Other. Beyond runway and taxiway object free areas and

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


aprons, barricades intended for construction vehicles and personnel may be many different shapes and

made from various materials, including railroad ties, sawhorses, jersey barriers, or barrels.

(7) Maintenance. The construction specifications must 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 airport operator.

Lighting should be checked for proper operation at least once per day, preferably at dusk.

221. Protection of Runway and Taxiway Safety Areas. Runway and taxiway safety areas, Obstacle

Free zones (OFZ), object free areas (OFA), and approach surfaces are described in AC 150/5300-13.

Protection of these areas includes limitations on the location and height of equipment and stockpiled

material. An FAA airspace study may be required. Coordinate with the appropriate FAA Airports

Regional or District Office if there is any doubt as to requirements or dimensions (See paragraph 213.e

above.) as soon as the location and height of materials or equipment are known. The CSPP should include

drawings showing all safety areas, object free areas, obstacle free zones and approach departure surfaces

affected by construction.

a. 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 150/5300-13). Construction activities within the

existing RSA are subject to the following conditions:

(1) No construction may occur within the existing RSA while the runway is open for

aircraft operations. The RSA dimensions may be temporarily adjusted if the runway is restricted to

aircraft operations requiring an RSA that is equal to the RSA width and length beyond the runway ends

available during construction. (see AC 150/5300-13). The temporary use of declared distances and/or

partial runway closures may provide the necessary RSA under certain circumstances. Coordinate with the

appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office to have declared distances information published.

See AC 150/5300-13 for guidance on the use of declared distances.

(2) The airport operator must coordinate the adjustment of RSA dimensions as permitted

above with the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office and the local FAA air traffic

manager and issue a NOTAM.

(3) The CSPP and SPCD must provide procedures for ensuring adequate distance for

protection from blasting operations, if required by operational considerations.

(4) Excavations.

(a) Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the RSA while the runway

is open. If possible, backfill trenches before the runway is opened. If the runway must be opened before

excavations are backfilled, cover the excavations appropriately. 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.

(b) Construction contractors must prominently mark open trenches and excavations

at the construction site with red or orange flags, as approved by the airport operator, and light them with

red lights during hours of restricted visibility or darkness.

(5) 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 fire fighting equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing structural

damage to the aircraft.

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F


b. Runway Object Free Area (ROFA). Construction, including excavations, may be permitted in

the ROFA. 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

7460-1 form and justification provided to the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office for

approval.

c. Taxiway Safety Area (TSA). A 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.

(See AC 150/5300-13.) Construction activities within the TSA are subject to the following conditions:

(1) No construction may occur within the TSA while the taxiway is open for aircraft

operations. The TSA dimensions may be temporarily adjusted if the taxiway is restricted to aircraft

operations requiring a TSA that is equal to the TSA width available during construction (see AC

150/5300-13, Table 4-1).

(2) The airport operator must coordinate the adjustment of the TSA width as permitted

above with the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office and the FAA air traffic manager and

issue a NOTAM.

(3) The CSPP and SPCD must provide procedures for ensuring adequate distance for

protection from blasting operations.

(4) Excavations.

(a) Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the TSA while the taxiway

is open. If possible, backfill trenches before the taxiway is opened. If the taxiway must be opened before

excavations are backfilled, cover the excavations appropriately. Covering for open trenches must be

designed to allow the safe operation of the heaviest aircraft operating on the taxiway across the trench

without damage to the aircraft.

(b) Construction contractors must prominently mark open trenches and excavations

at the construction site with red or orange flags, as approved by the airport operator, and light them with

red lights during hours of restricted visibility or darkness.

(5) Erosion Control. Soil erosion must be controlled 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 fire fighting equipment, and the occasional passage of aircraft without causing structural

damage to the aircraft.

d. Taxiway Object Free Area (TOFA). Unlike the Runway Object Free Area, aircraft wings

regularly penetrate the taxiway object free area during normal operations. Thus the restrictions are more

stringent. Except as provided below, no construction may occur within the taxiway object free area while

the taxiway is open for aircraft operations.

(1) The taxiway object free area dimensions may be temporarily adjusted if the taxiway is

restricted to aircraft operations requiring a taxiway object free area that is equal to the taxiway object free

area width available.

(2) Offset taxiway pavement markings may be used as a temporary measure to provide the

required taxiway object free area. Where offset taxiway pavement markings are provided, centerline

lighting or reflectors are required.

(3) Construction activity may be accomplished without adjusting the width of the taxiway

object free area, subject to the following restrictions:

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


(a) Appropriate NOTAMs are issued.

(b) Marking and lighting meeting the provisions of paragraphs 218 and 220 above

are implemented.

(c) Five-foot clearance is maintained between equipment and materials and any part

of an aircraft (includes wingtip overhang). In these situations, flaggers must be used to direct construction

equipment, and wing walkers will be necessary to guide aircraft. Wing walkers should be airline/aviation

personnel rather than construction workers. If such clearance can only be maintained if an aircraft does

not have full use of the entire taxiway width (with its main landing gear at the edge of the pavement), then

it will be necessary to move personnel and equipment for the passage of that aircraft.

e. Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ). In general, personnel, material, and/or equipment may not penetrate

the OFZ while the runway is open for aircraft operations. If a penetration to the OFZ is necessary, it may

be possible to continue aircraft operations through operational restrictions. Coordinate with the FAA

through the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office.

f. Runway Approach/Departure Areas and Clearways. All personnel, materials, and/or

equipment must remain clear of the applicable threshold siting surfaces, as defined in Appendix 2,

“Threshold Siting Requirements,” of AC 150/5300-13. Objects that do not penetrate these surfaces may

still be obstructions to air navigation and may affect standard instrument approach procedures. Coordinate

with the FAA through the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Office.

(1) Construction activity in a runway approach/departure area may result in the need to

partially close a runway or displace the existing runway threshold. Partial runway closure, displacement

of the runway threshold, as well as closure of the complete runway and other portions of the movement

area also require coordination through the airport operator with the appropriate FAA air traffic manager

(FSS if non-towered) and ATO/Technical Operations (for affected NAVAIDS) and airport users.

(2) Caution regarding partial runway closures. When filing a NOTAM for a partial

runway closure, clearly state to OCC personnel that the portion of pavement located prior to the threshold

is not available for landing and departing traffic. In this case, the threshold has been moved for both

landing and takeoff purposes (this is different than a displaced threshold). There may be situations where

the portion of closed runway is available for taxiing only. If so, the NOTAM must reflect this condition).

(3) Caution regarding displaced thresholds. : Implementation of a displaced threshold

affects runway length available for aircraft landing over the displacement. Depending on the reason for

the displacement (to provide obstruction clearance or RSA), such a displacement may also require an

adjustment in the landing distance available and accelerate-stop distance available in the opposite

direction. If project scope includes personnel, equipment, excavation, other work. within the existing RSA

of any usable runway end, do not implement a displaced threshold unless arrivals and departures toward

the construction activity are prohibited. Instead, implement a partial closure.

222. Other Limitations on Construction. The CSPP must specify any other limitations on

construction, including but not limited to:

a. Prohibitions.

(1) No use of tall equipment (cranes, concrete pumps, and so on) unless a 7460-1

determination letter is issued for such equipment.

(2) No use of open flame welding or torches unless fire safety precautions are provided and

the airport operator has approved their use.

(3) No use of electrical blasting caps on or within 1,000 ft (300 m) of the airport property.

See AC 150/5370-10.

(4) No use of flare pots within the AOA.

b. Restrictions.

(1) Construction suspension required during specific airport operations.

(2) Areas that cannot be worked on simultaneously.

(3) Day or night construction restrictions.

(4) Seasonal construction restrictions.

31 Chapter 3 Guidelines for Writing a CSPP

Chapter 3. Guidelines for Writing a CSPP

301. General Requirements. The CSPP is a standalone document written to correspond with the

subjects outlined in Chapter 2, Section 1, paragraph 204. The CSPP is organized by numbered sections

corresponding to each subject listed in Chapter 2, Section 1, paragraph 204, and described in detail in

Chapter 2, Section 2. Each section number and title in the CSPP matches the corresponding subject

outlined in Chapter 2, paragraph 204 (for example, 1. Coordination, 2. Phasing, 3. Areas and Operations

Affected by the Construction Activity, and so on.). With the exception of the project scope of work

outlined in Section 2. Phasing, only subjects specific to operational safety during construction should be

addressed.

302. Applicability of Subjects. Each section should, to the extent practical, focus on the specific

subject. Where an overlapping requirement spans several sections, the requirement should be explained in

detail in the most applicable section. A reference to that section should be included in all other sections

where the requirement may apply. For example, the requirement to protect existing underground FAA

Instrument Landing System (ILS) cables during trenching operations could be considered FAA ATO

coordination (Section 1. Coordination, paragraph 205.c), an area and operation affected by the

construction activity (Section 3. Areas and Operations Affected by the Construction Activity, paragraph

207.a(4)), a protection of a NAVAID (Section 4. Protection of Navigational Aids (NAVAIDs),paragraph

208), or a notification to the FAA of construction activities (Section 9. Notification of Construction

Activities, paragraph 210.e(3)(b)). However, it is more specifically an underground utility requirement

(Section 11. Underground Utilities, paragraph 215). The procedure for protecting underground ILS cables

during trenching operations should therefore be described in Section 11: “The contractor must coordinate

with the local FAA System Support Center (SSC) to mark existing ILS cable routes along Runway 17-35.

The ILS cables will be located by hand digging whenever the trenching operation moves within 10 feet of

the cable markings.” All other applicable sections should include a reference to Section 11: “ILS cables

shall be identified and protected as described in Section 11” or “See Section 11 for ILS cable

identification and protection requirements.” Thus, the CSPP should be considered as a whole, with no

need to duplicate responses to related issues.

303. Graphical Representations. Construction safety drawings should be included in the CSPP as

attachments. When other graphical representations will aid in supporting written statements, the drawings,

diagrams, and/or photographs should also be attached to the CSPP. References should be made in the

CSPP to each graphical attachment and may be made in multiple sections.

304. Reference Documents. The CSPP must not incorporate a document by reference unless

reproduction of the material in that document is prohibited. In that case, either copies of or a source for

the referenced document must be provided to the contractor.

305. Restrictions. The CSPP should not be considered as a project design review document. The

CSPP should also avoid mention of permanent (“as-built”) features such as pavements, markings, signs,

and lighting, except when such features are intended to aid in maintaining operational safety during the

construction.

306. Coordination. Include in this section a detailed description of conferences and meetings both

before and during the project. Include appropriate information from AC 150/5300-9. Discuss coordination

procedures and schedules for each required FAA ATO airway facility shutdown and restart and all

required flight inspections.

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011

Chapter 3 Guidelines for Writing a CSPP 32

307. Phasing. Include in this section a detailed scope of work description for the project as a whole

and each phase of work covered by the CSPP. This includes all locations and durations of the work

proposed. Attach drawings to graphically support the written scope of work. Detail in this section the

sequenced phases of the proposed construction. Include a reference to paragraph 308 below, as

appropriate.

308. Areas and Operations Affected By Construction. Focus in this section on identifying the areas

and operations affected by the construction. Describe corresponding mitigation that is not covered in

detail elsewhere in the CSPP. Include references to paragraphs below as appropriate. Attach drawings as

necessary to graphically describe affected areas and mechanisms proposed. Tables and charts such as the

following may be helpful in highlighting issues to be addressed.

309. Navigation Aid (NAVAID) Protection. List in this section all NAVAID facilities that will be

affected by the construction. Identify NAVAID facilities that will be placed out of service at any time

prior to or during construction activities. Identify individuals responsible for coordinating each shutdown

and when each facility will be out of service. Include a reference to paragraph 306 above for FAA ATO

NAVAID shutdown, restart, and flight inspection coordination. Outline in detail procedures to protect

each NAVAID facility remaining in service from interference by construction activities. Include a

reference to paragraph 314 for the issuance of NOTAMs as required. Include a reference to paragraph 316

for the protection of underground cables and piping serving NAVAIDs. If temporary visual aids are

proposed to replace or supplement existing facilities, include a reference to paragraph 319. Attach

drawings to graphically indicate the affected NAVAIDS and the corresponding critical areas.

310. Contractor Access. This will necessarily be the most extensive section of the CSPP. Provide

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


sufficient detail so that a contractor not experienced in working on airports will understand the unique

restrictions such work will require. Due to this extent, it should be broken down into subsections as

described below:

a. Location of Stockpiled Construction Materials. Describe in this section specific locations for

stockpiling material. Note any height restrictions on stockpiles. Include a reference to paragraph 321 for

hazard marking and lighting devices used to identify stockpiles. Include a reference to paragraph 311 for

provisions to prevent stockpile material from becoming wildlife attractants. Include a reference to

paragraph 312 for provisions to prevent stockpile material from becoming FOD. Attach drawings to

graphically indicate the stockpile locations.

b. Vehicle and Pedestrian Operations. While there are many items to be addressed in this major

subsection of the CSPP, all are concerned with one main issue: keeping people and vehicles from areas of

the airport where they don’t belong. This includes preventing unauthorized entry to the AOA and

preventing the improper movement of pedestrians or vehicles on the airport. In this section, focus on

mechanisms to prevent construction vehicles and workers traveling to and from the worksite from

unauthorized entry into movement areas. Specify locations of parking for both employee vehicles and

construction equipment, and routes for access and haul roads. In most cases, this will best be

accomplished by attaching a drawing. Quote from AC 150/5210-5 specific requirements for contractor

vehicles rather than referring to the AC as a whole, and include special requirements for identifying

Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) vehicles. Quote from, rather than incorporate by reference, AC

150/5210-20 as appropriate to address the airport’s rules for ground vehicle operations, including its

training program. Discuss the airport’s recordkeeping system listing authorized vehicle operators.

c. Two-Way Radio Communications. Include a special section to identify all individuals who are

required to maintain communications with Air Traffic (AT) at airports with active towers, or monitor

Common Traffic Advisory Frequencies (CTAF) at airports without or with closed ATCT. Include training

requirements for all individuals required to communicate with AT. Individuals required to monitor AT

frequencies should also be identified. If construction employees are also required to communicate by

radio with Airport Operations, this procedure should be described in detail. Usage of vehicle mounted

radios and/or portable radios should be addressed. Communication procedures for the event of disabled

radio communication (that is, light signals, telephone numbers, others) must be included. All radio

frequencies should by identified (Tower, Ground Control, CTAF, UNICOM, ATIS, and so on).

d. Airport Security. Address security as it applies to vehicle and pedestrian operations. Discuss

TSA requirements, security badging requirements, perimeter fence integrity, gate security, and other

needs. Attach drawings to graphically indicate secured and/or Security Identification Display Areas

(SIDA), perimeter fencing, and available access points.

311. Wildlife Management. Discuss in this section wildlife management procedures. Describe the

maintenance of existing wildlife mitigation devices, such as perimeter fences, and procedures to limit

wildlife attractants. Include procedures to notify Airport Operations of wildlife encounters. Include a

reference to paragraph 310 for security (wildlife) fence integrity maintenance as required.

312. Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Management. In this section, discuss methods to control and

monitor FOD: worksite housekeeping, ground vehicle tire inspections, runway sweeps, and so on. Include

a reference to paragraph 315 for inspection requirements as required.

313. Hazardous Materials (HAZMAT) Management. Describe in this section HAZMAT

management procedures: fuel deliveries, spill recovery procedures, Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS)

availability, and other considerations. Any specific airport HAZMAT restrictions should also be

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F


identified. Include a reference to paragraph 310 for HAZMAT vehicle identification requirements. Quote

from, rather than incorporate by reference, AC 150/5320-15.

314. Notification of Construction Activities. List in this section the names and telephone numbers of

points of contact for all parties affected by the construction project. We recommend a single list that

includes all telephone numbers required under this section. Include emergency notification procedures for

all representatives of all parties potentially impacted by the construction. Identify individual

representatives – and at least one alternate – for each party. List both on-duty and off-duty contact

information for each individual, including individuals responsible for emergency maintenance of airport

construction hazard lighting and barricades. Describe procedures to coordinate immediate response to

events that might adversely affect the operational safety of the airport (such as interrupted NAVAID

service). Explain requirements for and the procedures for the issuance of Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs),

notification to FAA required by 14 CFR Part 77 and Part 157 and in the event of affected NAVAIDs. For

NOTAMs, identify an individual, and at least one alternate, responsible for issuing and cancelling each

specific type of Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) required. Detail notification methods for police, fire

fighting, and medical emergencies. This may include 911, but should also include direct phone numbers

of local police departments and nearby hospitals. The local Poison Control number should be listed.

Procedures regarding notification of Airport Operations and/or the ARFF Department of such

emergencies should be identified, as applicable. If airport radio communications are identified as a means

of emergency notification, include a reference to paragraph 310. Differentiate between emergency and

nonemergency notification of ARFF personnel, the latter including activities that affect ARFF water

supplies and access roads. Identify the primary ARFF contact person and at least one alternate. If

notification is to be made through Airport Operations, then detail this procedure. Include a method of

confirmation from the ARFF department.

315. Inspection Requirements. Describe in this section inspection requirements to ensure airfield

safety compliance. Include a requirement for routine inspections by the resident engineer (RE) and the

construction contractors. If the engineering consultants and/or contractors have a Safety Officer who will

conduct such inspections, identify this individual. Describe procedures for special inspections, such as

those required to reopen areas for aircraft operations. Part 139 requires daily airfield inspections at

certificated airports, but these may need to be more frequent when construction is in progress. Discuss the

role of such inspections on areas under construction. Include a requirement to immediately remedy any

deficiencies, whether caused by negligence, oversight, or project scope change.

316. Underground Utilities. Explain how existing underground utilities will be located and protected.

Identify each utility owner and include contact information for each company/agency in the master list.

Address emergency response procedures for damaged or disrupted utilities. Include a reference to

paragraph 314 above for notification of utility owners of accidental utility disruption as required.

317. Penalties. Describe in this section specific penalties imposed for noncompliance with airport

rules and regulations, including the CSPP: SIDA violations, Vehicle/Pedestrian Deviations (VPD), and

others.

318. Special Conditions. Identify any special conditions that may trigger specific safety mitigation

actions outlined in this CSPP: low visibility operations, snow removal, aircraft in distress, aircraft

accident, security breach, VPD, and other activities requiring construction suspension/resumption. Include

a reference to paragraph 310 above for compliance with airport safety and security measures and for radio

communications as required. Include a reference to paragraph 319 below for emergency notification of all

involved parties, including police/security, ARFF, and medical services.

319. Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids. Include marking, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDS.

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011


Detail temporary runway and taxiway marking, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDs required for the

construction. Discuss existing marking, lighting, signs, and visual NAVAIDs that are temporarily, altered,

obliterated, or shut down. Consider non-federal facilities and address requirements for reimbursable

agreements necessary for alteration of FAA facilities and for necessary flight checks. Identify temporary

TORA signs or runway distance remaining signs if appropriate. Identify required temporary visual

NAVAIDs such as REIL or PAPI. Quote from, rather than incorporate by reference, AC 150/5340-1,

Standards for Airport Markings, AC 150/5340-18, Standards for Airport Sign Systems, and AC

150/5340-30, as required. Attach drawings to graphically indicate proposed marking, lighting, signs, and

visual NAVAIDs.

320. Marking and Signs for Access Routes. Detail plans for marking and signs for vehicle access

routes. To the extent possible, signs should be in conformance with the Federal Highway Administration

Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and/or State highway specifications, not hand

lettered. Detail any modifications to the guidance in the MUTCD necessary to meet frangibility/height

requirements.

321. Hazard Marking and Lighting. Specify all marking and lighting equipment, including when

and where each type of device is to be used. Specify maximum gaps between barricades and the

maximum spacing of hazard lighting. Identify one individual and at least one alternate responsible for

maintenance of hazard marking and lighting equipment in the master telephone list. Include a reference to

paragraph 314 above. Attach drawings to graphically indicate the placement of hazard marking and

lighting equipment.

322. Protection of Runway and Taxiway Safety Areas. This section should focus exclusively on

procedures for protecting all safety areas, including those altered by the construction: methods of

demarcation, limit of access, movement within safety areas, stockpiling and trenching restrictions, and so

on. Reference AC 150/5300-13: Airport Design as required. Include a reference to paragraph 310 above

for procedures regarding vehicle and personnel movement within safety areas. Include a reference to

paragraph 310 above for material stockpile restrictions as required. Detail requirements for trenching,

excavations, and backfill. Include a reference to paragraph 321 for hazard marking and lighting devices

used to identify open excavations as required. If runway and taxiway closures are proposed to protect

safety areas, or if temporary displaced thresholds and/or revised declared distances are used to provide

adequate Runway Safety Area, include a reference to paragraphs 314 and 319 above. Detail procedures

for protecting the runway OFZ, runway OFA, taxiway OFA and runway approach surfaces including

those altered by the construction: methods of demarcation, limit of cranes, storage of equipment, and so

on. Quote from, rather than incorporate by reference, AC 150/5300-13: Airport Design as required.

Include a reference to paragraph 323 for height (i.e. crane) restrictions as required. One way to address

the height of equipment that will move during the project is to establish a three-dimensional “box” within

which equipment will be confined that can be studied as a single object. Attach drawings to graphically

indicate the safety area, OFZ, and OFA boundaries.

323. Other Limitations on Construction. This section should describe what limitations must be

applied to each area of work and when each limitation will be applied: limitations due to airport

operations, height (i.e. crane) restrictions, areas which cannot be worked at simultaneously, day/night

work restrictions, winter construction, and other limitations. Include a reference to paragraph 307 above

for project phasing requirements based on construction limitations as required.

51 Appendix 4 Construction Project Daily Safety Inspection Checklist

Appendix 4. Construction Project Daily Safety Inspection Checklist

The situations identified below are potentially hazardous conditions that may occur during airport

construction projects. Safety area encroachments, unauthorized and improper ground vehicle operations,

and unmarked or uncovered holes and trenches near aircraft operating surfaces pose the most prevalent

threats to airport operational safety during airport construction projects. The list below is one tool that the

airport operator or contractor may use to aid in identifying and correcting potentially hazardous

conditions. It should be customized as appropriate for each project.

Potentially Hazardous Conditions

Item Action Required or None

Excavation adjacent to runways, taxiways, and aprons

improperly backfilled. □

Mounds of earth, construction materials, temporary

structures, and other obstacles near any open runway,

taxiway, or taxi lane; in the related Object Free area

and aircraft approach or departure areas/zones; or

obstructing any sign or marking.

□

Runway resurfacing projects resulting in lips exceeding

3 in (7.6 cm) from pavement edges and ends. □

Heavy equipment (stationary or mobile) operating or

idle near AOA, in runway approaches and departures

areas, or in OFZ.

□

Equipment or material near NAVAIDs that may

degrade or impair radiated signals and/or the

monitoring of navigation and visual aids. Unauthorized

or improper vehicle operations in localizer or glide

slope critical areas, resulting in electronic interference

and/or facility shutdown.

□

Tall and especially relatively low visibility units (that

is, equipment with slim profiles) — cranes, drills, and

similar objects — located in critical areas, such as OFZ

and approach zones.

□

Improperly positioned or malfunctioning lights or

unlighted airport hazards, such as holes or excavations,

on any apron, open taxiway, or open taxi lane or in a

related safety, approach, or departure area.

□

Obstacles, loose pavement, trash, and other debris on or

near AOA. Construction debris (gravel, sand, mud,

paving materials) on airport pavements may result in

aircraft propeller, turbine engine, or tire damage. Also,

loose materials may blow about, potentially causing

personal injury or equipment damage.

□

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011

Appendix 4 Construction Project Daily Safety Inspection Checklist 52


Inappropriate or poorly maintained fencing during

construction intended to deter human and animal

intrusions into the AOA. Fencing and other markings

that are inadequate to separate construction areas from

open AOA create aviation hazards.

□

Improper or inadequate marking or lighting of runways

(especially thresholds that have been displaced or

runways that have been closed) and taxiways that could

cause pilot confusion and provide a potential for a

runway incursion. Inadequate or improper methods of

marking, barricading, and lighting of temporarily

closed portions of AOA create aviation hazards.

□

Wildlife attractants — such as trash (food scraps not

collected from construction personnel activity), grass

seeds, tall grass, or standing water — on or near

airports.

□

Obliterated or faded temporary markings on active

operational areas. □

Misleading or malfunctioning obstruction lights.

Unlighted or unmarked obstructions in the approach to

any open runway pose aviation hazards.

□

Failure to issue, update, or cancel NOTAMs about

airport or runway closures or other construction related

airport conditions.

□

Failure to mark and identify utilities or power cables.

Damage to utilities and power cables during

construction activity can result in the loss of runway /

taxiway lighting; loss of navigation, visual, or approach

aids; disruption of weather reporting services; and/or

loss of communications.

□

Restrictions on ARFF access from fire stations to the

runway / taxiway system or airport buildings. □

Lack of radio communications with construction

vehicles in airport movement areas. □

Objects, regardless of whether they are marked or

flagged, or activities anywhere on or near an airport

that could be distracting, confusing, or alarming to

pilots during aircraft operations.

□

Water, snow, dirt, debris, or other contaminants that

temporarily obscure or derogate the visibility of

runway/taxiway marking, lighting, and pavement

edges. Any condition or factor that obscures or

diminishes the visibility of areas under construction.

□

Spillage from vehicles (gasoline, diesel fuel, oil) on

active pavement areas, such as runways, taxiways,

aprons, and airport roadways.

□

September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F

53 Appendix 4 Construction Project Daily Safety Inspection Checklist


Failure to maintain drainage system integrity during

construction (for example, no temporary drainage

provided when working on a drainage system).

□

Failure to provide for proper electrical lockout and

tagging procedures. At larger airports with multiple

maintenance shifts/workers, construction contractors

should make provisions for coordinating work on

circuits.

□

Failure to control dust. Consider limiting the amount of

area from which the contractor is allowed to strip turf. □

Exposed wiring that creates an electrocution or fire

ignition hazard. Identify and secure wiring, and place it

in conduit or bury it.

□

Site burning, which can cause possible obscuration. □

Construction work taking place outside of designated

work areas and out of phase. □

4 A thorough investigation of the incident is to begin as soon as possible by the Contractor and Contractor Safety Representative. The Incident Investigation Report (see Forms in appendix) is to be submitted within 24 hours of the incident.

5 A formal Incident Review meeting will always be required for OSHA recordable incidents.

a NOTE: The investigation is to be a joint effort between the Contractor, Contractor’s Safety Representative and CM and is to involve individuals who are familiar with aspects of the incident or practices involved, contractor supervision, witnesses, and victim(s). The goal of the investigation is to determine all causal factors and implement corrective actions to prevent a recurrence. This investigation and report do not preclude similar investigations and reports required by governmental regulations, but may be handled concurrently with them.

10.3 INCIDENT REVIEW PROCESS A. An incident review is conducted when a serious incident (OSHA Recordable Incident,

other incidents or near miss events has occurred. The incident review meeting should be scheduled within 7 days of the incident date to allow for fresh recollection of event details. Persons who are to attend the incident review meeting are:

1 Injured/ill employee(s) or employee(s) directly involved in near miss (if applicable)

2 Witnesses to the incident

3 Supervisor of the employees involved in the incident

4 Superintendent and Contractor Safety Representative

5 Construction Manager

6 Others if appropriate

B. The review meeting agenda is as follows:

3 Review of the Incident, causal factors, root cause

4 Verification of corrective action implementation

5 Determine which portion of Safety Process failed and remedy

6 Proper Incident Reporting and Emergency Response procedures followed


11

7 Action Items including follow-up verification of effectiveness of corrective action

8 Summarize the Meeting

C. Within one business day after the review meeting, the Contractor Safety Representative will submit a Final Incident Report which will include information from the review meeting.

D. One of the most important parts of the Incident Review process is to verify completion of corrective actions. Most of the corrective actions will be the responsibility of the contractor and will include safety meetings with employees, training, safety program review/update, disciplinary action, etc.

11.0 DISCIPLINARY ACTION A. Violations of the Project Safety Program or federal, state and local laws will result in

disciplinary action to the employee and/or Contractor in violation. Disciplinary action for minor violations will follow progressive steps: documented verbal warning, written warning, suspension from project for up to one week, and removal from the project. Disciplinary action for flagrant violations will vary according to circumstances and severity of the violation.

B. INDIVIDUALS (CONTRACTOR EMPLOYEES)

1 Two types of violations will require initiation of the disciplinary program: Flagrant or Minor

a Flagrant Violations "Flagrant" violations may have potentially severe consequences, or place individual(s) in imminent danger. Examples of violations, which are considered “flagrant”, include:

• Smoking in areas not designated as acceptable.

• Possession, use, or under influence of alcohol, illegal drugs

• Possession of firearms, or contraband

• Harassment (sexual, ethnic, racial, gender, religion, disability)

• Assault and battery, serious intimidation

• Tampering with emergency equipment.

• Airport Security Violations

b Examples of additional safety violations, which could be considered flagrant and may lead to removal from the project include but are not limited to:

• Working without appropriate, valid permits (i.e. hot work, confined space, etc.)

• Violating conditions of permit-controlled work

• Working without proper fall protection, placing a person in imminent danger

• Entering excavations or trenches without appropriate sloping, shoring, or other protective measures, placing a person in imminent danger


12

• Entering areas designated and marked as “Do Not Enter”, placing a person in imminent danger, or creating a potentially adverse impact to aviation safety.

• Operating equipment (e.g., cranes, motor vehicles, mechanical mobile lifts, etc.) without valid licensing or training certification.

• Not reporting work-related injuries and/or damage to equipment or property.

• Not reporting near-miss incidents.

• Failure to correct recognized safety hazards.

• Repeated or multiple minor safety violations.

• Lack of proper personal protective equipment

• Other acts which indicate a contractor employee’s disregard toward his/her safety, the safety of others, or neglect of proper care of company equipment

c Minor Violations “Minor" violations are infractions of safety practices but with a lesser degree of intent and resulting danger. Minor violations include infractions that are not classified as “flagrant”, as defined above.

2 Situations where craftspersons are injured and circumstances surrounding the injury indicate an associated safety violation will automatically result in a written sanction.

3 The above stated safety violation criteria will serve as the basis for disciplinary actions. Stricter provisions may be invoked as applicable to the circumstances.

C. CONTRACT FIRM

1 Three safety violations involving one contractor ("flagrant" and/or" minor") will result in written communication (Project Safety Notification). The Contractor is required to respond in writing stating the countermeasures that will be taken to correct the violations. If the safety violations reported to the contract firm’s site management are not corrected, the contract firm’s home office will be notified in writing (Company Warning Notification). The contract firm’s home office and site management will be required to meet on-site with Construction Management to discuss the contractor's corrective actions. Corrective actions may include removal of the individual(s) and/or company management/supervision, in violation of the safety policies and procedures, company probation, suspension, or barring.

D. If the Construction Manager or Contractor is aware of any noncompliance with safety requirements, or is advised of such noncompliance, the following may occur:

1 The Contractor will remove any employee or piece of equipment deemed to be unsafe form the project.

2 Any employee removed from the project cannot be hired to work for any other contractor on the project for minimum of one year from the date of removal.

12.0 SAFE WORK PLAN OVERVIEW


13

A. A Safe Work Plan (see Safety Work Plan Form in Appendix) will be completed by contractor field supervision for each crew and scope of work combination. The Safe Work Plan will list tasks assigned to the crew, associated hazards, hazard controls and safe work procedures that are to be followed. The Safe Work Plan is to be communicated to and signed off by the crewmembers prior to the start of the work. A copy of the Safe Work Plan must be displayed in the work area and a copy is to be forwarded to the CM. The same Safe Work Plan may be used for a maximum of one week, as long as there are no changes in the crewmembers, tasks, hazards, or controls.

B. The Safe Work Plan is the one of the most important tools in achieving job site safety. Field supervision plans the tasks necessary for a scope of work, the related hazards of these tasks, and lists the control measures and resources needed to complete the work safely. This information is communicated to the crewmembers assigned to the tasks and craftspersons sign the form acknowledging they understand what is to be done and how to accomplish the job safely.

13.0 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS- A. The Indianapolis International Airport requires strict compliance with all Federal

Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations including Part 107 that prohibits unauthorized entry into the AOA. All construction activities will be limited to the areas identified and authorized in the construction plans. Any deviation from this regulation will result in immediate sanctions to the contractor by the FAA or Indianapolis International Airport.

1 Security Badges/ Identification: A badging procedure for construction craftspersons may be implemented to identify authorization of employees to be on-site as well as to control access to the project. Personnel are required to wear the badges in a visible location at all times while on the project.

2 Project Access: There may be vehicular and personnel gates at the project site. Badges or gate passes must be shown to security personnel prior to being allowed entry to the site.

3 Visitors: Visitors are required to sign in and must be escorted by authorized project personnel. All required personal protective equipment must be donned prior to entering the construction-site.

4 Project Deliveries: All project deliveries must report to the vehicular security checkpoint and sign in. A representative of the contractor responsible for the delivery must escort the delivery to the relevant storage or staging area for material.

5 Vehicle Requirements: Site security will have a list of all companies who are authorized to drive company vehicles into the site construction area. The name of the company and vehicle pass must be conspicuously posted on the vehicle at all times. Keys must be left in the ignition to facilitate moving the vehicle in an emergency. Vehicles producing excessive oil smoke may not be permitted to enter if it may create a visibility issue. Vehicles permitted to access the project

must have safety-related functions in good working order (i.e. brakes, steering, horn, lights, window glass, wipers, defroster, tires, seat belts, etc.)

6 Gates and Fences: Fences may be installed in all work areas to limit access by unauthorized personnel. The fence must be highly visible and adequately restrict access to areas of the project when necessary.
