4 B. PURPOSE: The prime responsibility for safety, supervision and inspection of airfield construction projects lie with the airport owner/operator. Aviation safety is the prime consideration at airports especially during construction. Our primary goal is to provide the highest possible level of safety, security and efficiency to all the airport users; from the airlines and tenants to the construction contractors and ultimately the traveling public. To ensure this highest level of safety is maintained a has been developed specifically for the project. The purpose of the CSPP is to identify all construction activities that will occur within the Airport Operations Area (AOA) of the airfield and define how each construction area will comply with the requirements of FAR Part 139 and all applicable FAA rules and regulations. The CSPP is a standalone document written to correspond with the safety and security set forth in Advisory Circular 150/5370-2F, and the City of Chicago, O Hare International Airport s safety and security requirements and all local codes, requirements and procedures. The CSPP is to be used by all personnel involved in the project. The CSPP covers the actions and responsibilities of design, construction, inspection and airport personnel. Upon successful award of this project the contractor will submit a Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD). Within the content of the SPCD the contractor will include a statement that they have read and understand the CSPP and how they will comply with all the requirements and safety procedures detailed within it. Any information not discussed in the originally CSPP or ANY changes to the constructability of the project MUST be outlined in the SPCD and submitted to the airport and FAA for review. The SPCD must be submitted to and approved by the airport prior to the Notice-to-Proceed (NTP) date for physical construction of the project. In the event the contractor s activities are found to be in non-compliance with the requirements of the CSPP or SPCD, the airport s representatives will direct the contractor in writing to immediately stop all operations of that particular work until such time all deficiencies are mitigated and/or corrected to the satisfaction of the airport. The CSPP and SPCD will be available at all times on the jobsite. It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure all construction personnel are familiar with the safety procedures and regulations of the airport. 4

5 C. SCOPE: This project will entail the construction of an approximately 7,100 square foot addition to the existing ARFF #1 facility on the south airfield. The new facility will consist of mechanic and control rooms and sleeping quarters on the second floor as well as a 3 apparatus parking bays. The addition is required to accommodate additional ARFF equipment that will be required over the course of the O Hare Expansion Project. While this project does occur within the airport operations area (AOA) it will not affect any movement areas, all work is located outside of all (active) runway and taxiway critical areas. Figure 1 shows the overall project location for the project. 5 Figure 1 Project Details: The elements of work and construction activities for the construction of the ARFF #1 addition will include the following: Site clearing, grubbing and installation of new sanitary and storm sewer utility lines and associated manhole structures, and installation of gas, water and electrical lines into the new facility.

8 Contractor Management Team duties and responsibilities Insurance compliance and requirements Submittals and Permits Project Schedule Safety, Security CSPP and SPCD review and compliance FAR Part 139 and Advisory Circular Compliance ID Badging Airside Construction Coordination Utility protection and coordination d. Contractor Progress Meetings Progress meetings will begin approximately 30 days prior to actual start of construction and will occur every week thereafter for the duration of the construction project. These meetings are mandatory for the contractor and are designed to discuss any airfield operational safety issues that may arise as well as design, constructability, quality, and coordination issues. e. Contract Change Orders Changes to the contact as related to scope of work or duration of the project will be addressed at the weekly round table meeting where any potential changes, additions or deletions to the contract are reviewed with OMP and CDA. Any changes that affect the CSPP or SPCD will immediately be revised or added to the existing CSPP and/or SPCD and forwarded to CDA and FAA for review and approval. i. CDA, FAA and Airline Coordination Meetings Short Term Operational Phasing (STOP) Meeting held every Monday (except holidays) at 8:00am at the City Operations Atrium conference room. All short term construction issues (within 30 days) that will affect the airfield are discussed and coordinated Phasing This is a single phase project with no critical milestones and a completion date of approximately November 25, Phasing of this project is at the discretion of the contractor, any work activities that may affect runway 10C-28C due to the use of cranes will be coordinated at the weekly STOP meeting. The contractor is NOT permitted to raise any cranes for this project without the approval of CDA Operations. 8

9 Figure 2 shows the relation of the new ARFF 1 addition to runways 10C-28C and future runway 10R-28L. Figure 2 Unforeseen situations may arise that are not specifically addressed in this plan. Those situations will be addressed on a case-by-case basis with CDA Operations and the airport community as required and changes to the project may or may not warrant a revision to the approved CSPP. Construction phasing for this project will be coordinated with CDA Operations, local ATC and all airport users to provide the least disruption to the daily operations of the airport. The sequenced construction activities established in the CSPP, have been incorporated into the project design and are reflected in the contract drawings and specifications. Only work that will affect operations on the AOA (movement and non-movement areas) will be addressed in the CSPP. 9

10 All graphics within the CSPP are for visual reference only and are not to scale. Graphics were obtained using Google Earth and the most recent O Hare International Airport aerial photographs. A review meeting for this project was not held as the work involved will not affect any airport areas or aircraft operations. A draft of the CSPP was sent via on January 16, 2015 to CDA Operations, Airline Representative, FAA and representatives of the OMP Master Civil Engineers (MCE), Program Management Office (PMO) and Construction Management (CM) team with comments due on January 22, This CSPP incorporates all comments submitted. Attached as appendix C of this document are the required Safety Risk Management Analysis FAA Form SAS-1, to be completed by the FAA. Phase Elements: The sequence of this project and nature of both the design and actual construction will not disrupt the day-to-day airport activities or aircraft operations. The following sub sections describe the phase elements that are applied that may affect airside operations over the course of the project. Areas Closed to Aircraft Operations: While this project does occur airside, all work will take place in non-movement areas. There will be construction activities that may create part 77 airspace issues that may affect operations on runway 10C-28C and potentially 10R-28L. A 7460 will be submitted for this project with a detailed point analysis identifying crane locations that will impact affected runway(s). Any impacts that may arise as a result of the point analysis will be coordinated with the airport community at the weekly STOP meeting The only runways that may require short term closing for this project will be runway 10C-28C and 10R-28L. No other runways or taxiways will be required to be closed as a result of this project. Duration of Closures: Runways may be closed as needed during normal over night hours between 2200 and 0600 hours local time. All runway closures are to be coordinated at the weekly STOP meeting. No extended or day time closures (0600 thru 2200 hours) of the runway will be permitted. 10

11 Taxi Routes: Not Applicable for this project ARFF Access Roads: While this project takes place at Rescue Station 1, the contractor will be required to maintain uninterrupted access to the station for all rescue vehicles, ARFF access will not be disrupted as a result of this project. Construction Staging Areas: At the time of the writing of the CSPP a final location for the contractor staging area has not been determined. Two areas are in consideration for staging, the final location will be determined after the contract award that is acceptable to CFD and CDA. One area is located landside adjacent to North Access Cargo Road with the possibility of some area around ARFF 1. The second area is south of the fire station, currently where snow contractor vehicles are staged. The contractor will note that any staging permitted around the existing rescue station MUST be approved by the Chicago Department of Aviation and the Chicago Fire Department and in no way inhibit access in or out of the fire station. Upon notification by CDA, CFD or the resident engineer the contractor will immediately remove any equipment, materials or stockpiles that restrict access to the station. (see fig 3). 11

12 Figure 3 Construction Access and Haul Routes: The contractor will be required to enter the AOA to have access to the project site and several stockpile locations that may be utilized under the scope of work for the project. The contractor will have access to the airfield through any contractor approved CDA airfield perimeter access guard post; however post 5 and the post 5 CVIA will be used predominantly. Once on the airfield, vehicles will use existing service roads and haul roads to access the various stockpile locations. The contractor will have the option of utilizing airside access gate adjacent to ARFF 1 for access to the project site. The contractor will be required to follow all rules and procedures for manning the gate as directed by the CDA Safety and Security rules and regulations. (see fig 4) 12

13 Flaggers will not be required for this project as there will be no crossings of active taxiways to access stockpiles (other than existing service road locations). The contractor is not permitted to store, stockpile or stage any material or equipment on any CDA access or perimeter roadways. Figure 4 The following remaining phase elements of the required are not applicable to this project: Lighting and Marking Changes Available Runway Length Declared Distances Required Hazard Marking and Lighting Lead Times for Required Notifications 207. Areas and Operations Affected by Construction Activities O Hare International Airport runways and taxiways will be open and available for use during the duration of this project. The intent of the CSPP is to identify any construction activities that may affect the availability and use of runways and taxiways throughout the project, detail any potential impact to the airport and identify mitigation of effects to ensure the continued safety for all users of the airport. a. Identification of affected areas - i. Closing or partial closing of runways, taxiways or aprons Runway 10C-28C or 10R-28L may need to be closed on a nightly basis between the hours of 10pm and 6am for the use of cranes to set material within the limits of the job site. 13

14 ii. Closing of ARFF access routes No closing of designated ARFF access roads will be required iii. Closing access routes used by airport or airline support vehicles Airport access routes or serviced roads will not be affected as a result of construction on this project iv. Interruption of utilities Utilities will not be disrupted as a result of construction on this project. v. Approach/departure surface affected by heights of objects A 7460 airspace study will be submitted to identify any potential Part 77 issues. This project will require the placement of roofing trusses, materials and HVAC mechanical equipment. The method of installation for these items may require the use of cranes up to 100 in height. Any locations (for the entire project) identified in the point analysis of the airspace study that will require the closing of, or restrictions to runway 10C-28C or 10R-28L must be coordinated at the weekly STOP meeting. Construction operations that will require the closing of the runway will only occur at night between the hours of 10pm and 6am. The resident engineer will work closely with CDA Operations and the airport community to identify all points that will affect the use of the runway and what actions will need to be taken. vi. Construction areas Construction of this project will be airside however all work will be in the non movement area. b. Mitigation of effects The CSPP has established specific procedures necessary to maintain the safety and efficiency of all airport operations during all construction activities of this project. All coordination for airfield work and the scheduling of required CDA escorts will be discussed at the weekly STOP meeting and coordinated on a daily basis with CDA Operations. i. Temporary changes to runway and/or taxiway operations No changes to runway or taxiway operations are required for the completion of this project. ii. Detours for ARFF and other airport vehicles ARFF Roads will not be affected as a result of this project. iii. Maintenance of essential utilities - Uninterrupted service of all airfield utilities is of the utmost importance in the safe operation of the airport. Where required 14

15 the contractor will request a locate of all underground utilities. See section 215 for detailed procedures for utility locates and construction activities around or adjacent to utilities. ALL CDA, FAA, and common utilities MUST be located and exposed prior to beginning ANY excavations. iv. Temporary changes to air traffic control procedures - No changes to air traffic control procedures are anticipated on this project Protection of Navigational Equipment (NAVAIDS) No airfield navigational equipment will be affected as a result of this project 209. Contractor Access The following items will detail the procedures for contractor access, stockpiles and construction employee operations and requirements. a. Contractor Access and airfield entry points The primary AOA entry point for this project will be through CDA Security guard post 5 and the post 5 CVIA. The contractor will have construction access for this project through any approved airport guard post. All contractors must be properly badged and equipment must have proper ORD vehicle placards. Those employees without badges will be required to be signed onto the airfield by a badged and escort approved employee. b. Location of stockpiled construction material The contractor will be required to enter the AOA to access airport stockpile locations. c. Construction and pedestrian operations Aircraft and passenger safety is of the utmost importance. Vehicle traffic will be limited to those individuals that have an operational need to access the airfield for this project. All employees working within the AOA for this project will be required to obtain an ORD Identification badge with basic airfield driver s access privileges. All vehicles that enter the airfield must either have an ORD vehicle permit or be escorted onto the airfield by an authorized company escort. Under the requirements of the CDA badging and escorting rules and regulations, any person who signs in a non-badged employee and/or vehicle onto the AOA will be responsible for that person/vehicle until they are escorted off the airfield. Under no circumstances shall unbadged personnel be left within the AOA unattended. 15

16 d. Construction equipment and site parking i. Access and haul routes Construction traffic is required to stay on designated haul routes for this project. At no time is construction/contractor vehicles permitted to enter any movement area or secured portions of the AOA unless under authorized CDA escort. Any changes to the approved haul route must be approved through CDA operations. All haul routes are to remain clean and free of debris that may damage aircraft. During AOA construction (specifically in the movement area) the contractor is required to have at minimum, one vacuum type roadway sweeper on site at all times. If the contractor will be working in multiple locations that will affect open taxiways multiple sweepers will be required. The contractor will be responsible for dust control throughout the project job site and haul routes as required. ii. Marking and lighting of vehicles - All contractor/construction vehicles that operate within the AOA MUST without exception have an operational rotating or yellow strobe light mounted on the top of the vehicle. These lights must be in use anytime within the AOA construction project limits. Strobe lights mounted inside or within a vehicles head lights and/or tail lights are not acceptable and do not comply with FAA standards. During hours of darkness and low visibility, vehicles MUST have their headlights on. Vehicle trailers must be connected to their respective tow vehicle with operational parking lights. Several accidents have occurred on airfields due to unattended trailers parked with no marker lights on. If a trailer must be detached from the tow vehicle, barricades shall be placed around the trailer to make it visible. All "Heavy" equipment is required to have a 3' x 3' orange and white flag mounted on the highest point of the vehicle while working on the airfield. Vehicles not considered "Heavy" equipment: Pick-up trucks, dump trucks, box and panel vans, stake bodies, passenger vehicle, mechanic/service trucks, skid steers, combination back hoes and busses. These vehicles must have an operational yellow rotating/strobe light. 16

17 Hand operated equipment such as; concrete saws, dowel machines etc. and tow behind equipment such as light wagons, compressors, trailers, etc, do not require flags or rotating/strobe lights. All vehicle lighting and flags must be maintained in good working order and operational condition. Flags must be replaced by the contractor if they become faded, discolored or torn. e. Required escorts - All construction activities within the AOA will require CDA escorts to be present and monitor contractor related activities. At no time shall the contractor proceed to start work on site unless the escort is present. Requests for airfield escorts are to be made through the resident engineer who will coordinate with CDA Operations. Requests for escorts must be called in no later than 11:00 am the day prior to scheduled work or by 11:00 am on Friday for weekend, Monday or holiday work. f. Training requirements for vehicle drivers In an effort to maintain the safest working environment for all airfield users, it is required that ALL contractor personnel who receive an O Hare International Airport identification badge complete the required FAR part Airfield Driver Training Program, also referred to as 303 Training. 303 Training is mandatory and must be completed prior to an employee s initial access of the AOA, and once each year thereafter. Under the scope of this project any employee with a green badge with or without the yellow stripe MUST attend 303 Training Wildlife Management Wildlife on or around airports can create a very hazardous situation for arriving, departing and taxiing aircraft. It is the responsibility of the contractor as well as all involved working on this project to be aware and eliminate any activities that can attract any form of wildlife. a. Trash It is the contractor s responsibility to maintain and keep the construction project site clean. All trash and debris shall be picked up and properly disposed of. b. Standing water Water that collects within the project site in excavations, tire ruts or low graded areas as a result of contractor construction activities must be pumped out immediately. Standing water can attract several types of wildlife which can be hazardous to aircraft operations. Standing water that collects in the basins as a result of normal storm water runoff does not apply to the above standards. 17

18 c. Tall grass and seeds All trees, shrubs, vines, forbs, green roof plants, ornamental grasses, sedges and turf grasses that are used within the AOA must meet the Sustainable Airport Landscaping Specification 02905, Seeding Specification T-901 of the Chicago Department of Aviation O Hare Modernization Program Specifications. All vegetation within the boundaries of this project must be maintained. Excessive vegetation growth attracts several forms of wildlife that present serious hazards to arriving, departing and taxiing aircraft. All snow/silt fence lines must be maintained so vegetation height does not exceed 8 and flowering plants must be removed from the construction site immediately. The Contractor will be responsible to have landscaping crews available for removal of vegetation when growth approaches the 8" maximum height. d. Fencing and gates All airside installed safety fence will be constantly maintained so grasses do not exceed 8 in height. It will be the responsibility of the contractor to control and maintain grass and weed heights along all fence lines for this project. e. Disruption of existing wildlife habitat Water detention basins are a regular habitat for a variety of migratory and local animals. It is the contractor s responsibility to notify CDA Operations of any wildlife that is noticed within the basin or areas affected by this project, such as stockpile locations Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Management Foreign Object Debris can cost airlines, airports, tenants and contractors billions of dollars every year in damage or injury to equipment and personnel. The contractor will be responsible to develop a FOD management plan for this project and submit this plan with the SPCD. All contractor employees must be aggressive in the mitigation of FOD issues. On a daily basis employees will monitor the site for FOD or potential sources for FOD and remove the hazard. FOD containers should be placed around a jobsite for FOD control. The word FOD should be printed on it so it s visible and noticeable to all employees. Roll off dumpsters used on this project (regardless of size) shall be covered at ALL times. All airfield personnel and vehicle drivers will monitor construction sites and any haul routes that cross active taxiways for potential FOD hazards. Personnel are to make all efforts to keep open/active taxiways clear of debris and FOD. If hazardous conditions exist, notify City Operations immediately at

19 NEVER chase FOD! If debris or FOD is observed near, adjacent to or on an active runway or taxiway, NEVER attempt to retrieve it. Contact City Operations and advise them of the situation Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) Management It is important that all contractors and sub-contractors are familiar with and knowledgeable of the rules, regulations and procedures of the CDA Spill Prevention and Control Program (SPCP). These procedures apply to ALL contractors working on the project. Of significant importance to the SPCP is what type of spills must be reported; ALL SPILLS (which include, but are not limited to; fuel, oil, deicing chemicals and solvents) regardless of volume, must be reported to the OCC and subsequently to O Hare Airport Operations. The affected company will take all necessary precautions to prevent spilled fluids from reaching any surrounding sewers or waterways, if it can be done without harm to any personnel. Immediately surround any spill with approved containment materials, secure the site and contact the OCC. All personnel shall handle hazardous materials according to the guidelines as defined by the product Safety Data Sheets (SDS) formally referred to as MSD sheets. Extra attention must be applied during all fueling operations. Anyone that causes or witnesses a spill ANYWHERE on the airfield MUST first report it to the O Hare Communication Center (OCC), and subsequently to City Operations. The OCC will dispatch the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) to determine the severity of the spill, assist with spill containment and cleanup and/or oversight if needed. CFD will issue the official volume of product released for the responsible party to notify agencies if required. All contractors are required to have clean up and spill kits on site at ALL times when equipment is in use. Kits are to be of adequate size to handle fuel or oil spills for the size and amount of equipment in use on the project at any specific time. The contractor must develop and submit a spill prevention and control plan and incorporate these procedures in the Safety Plan Compliance Document Notification of Construction Activities Listed below are the key contact departments and individuals for the immediate notification of airport users and the FAA of any condition that adversely affects the operational safety of the airport. 19

20 a. List of responsible representatives - Airport Operations O Hare Communication Center Emergency Resident Engineer Safety Inspector (24 hours) (24 Hours) (24 hours) TBD TBD b. Notice to Airmen (NOTAM s) - All NOTAMS for this project will be initiated, enforced and cancelled by Airport Operations. All NOTAMS specific to AOA activities will be coordinated through Airport Operations on a daily basis. c. Emergency notification procedures - In the event of an emergency within the property lines of the airports (both landside and airside) the contractor shall request emergency services by calling , 24 hours a day. NOT 911! In the event of an aircraft emergency the contractor will be advised through the resident engineer, Airport Operations or airfield escort if they must leave the jobsite and vacate the airfield. The contractor shall submit in the SPCD procedures for severe weather conditions. Details should include notification procedures, personnel and site protection. d. Coordination with ARFF Specific for this project will be the coordination of work to tie in utilities of the new building into the existing one. At times utilities including, but not limited to: water, gas, electrical and communications will need to be temporarily shut down to allow the contractor to connect new services to the existing building. The contractor will coordinate all activities that directly affect ARFF procedures or responses with the resident engineer who will then coordinate directly with a representative of the Chicago Fire Department and CDA Operations. O'Hare International Airport is currently an Index "E" and this index determination must be maintained throughout the entire project. Any issues that may affect the response time or the ARFF Index of the airport MUST be communicated with CDA Operations and the fire department. e. Notification to the FAA All requirements, and compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) including but not limited to FAR part 77 and 139, all applicable advisory circulars and FAA orders will be coordinated through the resident engineer in a 20

21 timely manner. Approvals for revisions or new applications for changes to the project may take up to 90 days for FAA response. f. NAVAIDS Not affected as a result of this project Inspection Requirements To ensure the safe operation of the construction project and the safety of the airport and the traveling public procedures are in place to provide continuous inspections to assure compliance with all applicable FAA Advisory Circular and Regulations and CDA and OSHA safety standards. a. Daily Inspections The contractor shall conduct a daily construction inspection of all AOA construction activities. Airport Operations will also conduct daily self-inspections of the construction area and advise the resident engineer of any deficiencies or violations to FAR Part 139 or applicable advisory circulars. Prior to the opening of any short term (daily or nightly) runways or taxiways, the contactor must ensure all pavement areas are clean, free of construction equipment or material and all affected airfield lighting circuits are operational. Refer to Appendix B for a detailed FAR Part 139 construction inspection checklist. b. Final Inspection - A final inspection and walk through of the project will take place prior to opening any closed or restricted airfield pavements to aircraft operations Underground Utilities O Hare International Airport has very strict rules and regulations on locating, identifying, marking and protecting all utilities that run through the airport. It is important for all contractors to be aware of the seriousness of a utility strike on the airfield, understand what to be on the lookout for, and know their responsibility when working around utility lines. All underground utilities shall receive added attention to assure no disruption of services for the airport or surrounding tenants. The contractor shall locate utility crossings within the project site. Utilities shall be marked according to CDA locating standards. All marked or identified utilities must be exposed using hydro-excavating methods (mechanical excavating is not permitted to expose or locate a marked utility) within 5 (either side) of the utility 21

22 marker. Any utilities or cables damaged shall immediately be reported to the resident engineer, CDA Airport Operations and follow the utility strike procedure. If damage is caused due to negligence on the contractor all repairs will be at their own expense. Failure to report any damaged utilities may result in disciplinary actions. Shut down or disruption to any CDA, FAA or Local Utility shall be coordinated through OMP utility coordinator. Requests for utility locates are as follows: Common Utilities DIGGER (minimum 72 hours in advance) O Hare Utilities Through CDA via OMP utility coordinator (72 hours in advance) FAA Utilities Through FAA via OMP utility coordinator (5 days in advance) A Dig Book must be completed prior to any airfield excavations taking place on the airfield, and MUST remain on the project site at all times Penalties Rules, regulations and procedures are outlined and in place to ensure the safety of all entities throughout the airport. Any violations to rules, regulations or procedures regarding this project will fall under the responsibility of the contractor and its sub-contractors. The contractor shall be responsible for any and all fines or penalties that may be assessed either to them or to the Chicago Department of Aviation as a result of negligence or noncompliance with airport rules, regulation and safety plans. Severity of fines or disciplinary actions may include suspension or termination of badged employees to monetary fines to termination of contract Special Conditions Special conditions may affect the performance of work on the AOA. In these instances the contractor will be notified of what actions must be taken by the resident engineer or CDA Operations to ensure the safety of its employees and the general safety of the airport. a. Winter Conditions - As much as possible CDA will allow construction activities through the winter season which is defined as December 15 to April 15. However Snow removal operations take precedence over all other activities during this time frame. A contractor may be notified in short notice of cancellation or termination of work. It is the contractor s responsibility to coordinate work activities with the resident engineer to keep project shut downs to a minimum during these months. 22

23 b. Severe Weather Conditions During conditions of severe weather contractors will be notified as best as possible by CDA Operations or construction management of impending conditions. Contractors must take all precautions to ensure construction material or debris does not become FOD and pose a hazard to the safety of aircraft or employees working on or adjacent to the construction project. Contractors should have a means of notifying employees of severe weather and evacuation plans if necessary. c. VIP Arrivals - VIP activities at O Hare international Airport are closely coordinated with airport operations. At times VIP movements or activities will be in the vicinity of an active construction project. For safety reasons, affected contractors will be required to shut down construction operations for a specific portion of a project or at times the entire project. Contractors will normally receive prior notice to any VIP activities. CDA Operations will coordinate with the resident engineer to determine what construction activities will be permitted and when work must be stopped. Construction personnel may not be permitted to remain within the construction site during VIP arrivals. d. Aircraft/ Airport Emergencies - In the event of an airport or aircraft emergency Airport Operations will notify the resident engineer if contractors should prepare all crews to evacuate the airfield. Contractors are to stay cautious in the event of a significant aircraft incident on the airfield. All construction crews are to be well informed regarding proper procedures in the event of an accident. NEVER proceed to an accident site; procedures are in place with the air traffic control tower, CDA and the fire department to respond to all incidents. Contractors are required to contact the OCC for all airfield emergencies at e. Construction Moratoriums - Twice a year the FAA issues nationwide construction moratoriums to minimize disruptions to the national airspace system due to construction incidents that may affect FAA navigational equipment. During construction moratoriums construction is not permitted in, around or adjacent to any FAA or CDA airfield electrical or communication ductbanks, cables or facilities without proper authorization from the FAA. 23

24 Thanksgiving Day Moratorium: Starts approximately 1 week prior to the holiday, ends up to 5 days after the holiday. Christmas/New Year Moratorium: Starts approximately 1 week prior to the holiday, ends 1-3 days after the holiday Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids Runway and taxiway markings, lights and signs provide positive visual guidance to arriving, departing and taxiing aircraft. It is imperative that all airfield markings, lights and sign are in good condition and working order to ensure aircraft safety. Any of the above items that become obscured due to construction activities will immediately be cleaned, repainted or if damaged, immediately replaced. Cleaning may entail hand washing, sweeping or high powered water pressure washing. Critical markings such as runway mandatory hold bars, hold signs, and ILS hold bars shall be constantly monitored and cleaned or repaired as required. a. Runway markings, lights, signs, and NAVAIDS The area of this project will not affect or impact any runway markings, lights, signs or NAVAIDS. b. Taxiway markings - The area of this project will not affect or impact any taxiway markings, lights, signs Markings and Signs for Access Routes Haul routes for this project as outlined in section 209 will utilize existing airport service and access roads. All haul routes to the extent possible will be marked and signed in accordance with all applicable FAA advisory circulars, the Federal Highway Administration Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and /or local and state highway specifications. All employees that receive an O Hare Access badge will be required to attend a contractor airfield safety training, which will discuss driving on the airfield, haul routes and accessing project jobsites. 24

25 220. Hazard Marking Lighting and Signing As described in previous sections of this CSPP, work within runway or taxiway critical areas is not anticipated, the closing of runway 10C-28C or 10R-28L will be for airspace issues and barricades will not be required. However, as a general rule all criteria regarding hazard marking, lighting and signing are covered in detail for each project CSPP, in the event they are needed at some point during construction. The following describes the requirements and procedures for closing AOA pavements and barricade set-up, protection of excavations, utility line locates, temporary electrical circuits, runway closure markers and extended closure requirements. Proper placement and operation of barricades is crucial to the safety of this project and aircraft operations. Barricades provide a distinct point to identify to pilots of closed AOA pavements or that hazards exist. Barricades also identify to construction workers the limits of the construction project. Under no circumstances are contractors to drive past an AOA barricade line unless under authorized CDA escort. Barricades for any potential AOA closures for this project will consist of a combination of ORD or highway A Frame barricades and/or low mass, low profile barricades. All barricades shall have a minimum of one red omni-direction hazard light. Due to the potential FOD hazard, obstruction flags are not to be used on barricades. AOA barricades are required to delineate closed portions of the airfield from open areas. Due to the extremely busy operations and variety of aircraft that operate in and out of O Hare and the constant inspections and evaluations that must occur on the airfield on a 24 hour basis by numerous CDA departments (Operations, Electrical, Maintenance, ARFF), low mass low profile barricades are sometimes not the best choice for short term closures at the intervals as described in AC F section 220.b.1. On a daily basis CDA vehicles need to gain access into the jobsite. From Operations and escort vehicles to ARFF vehicles. Due to various conditions, vehicles trying to get around the barricade line will either need to drive through the grass area, possibly creating tire ruts within the TSA or inadvertently knock down a taxiway edge light that may not be visible to the driver. For short term closures it is not feasible to fill the units with water or sand due to the numerous times they may need to be moved for various AOA closures. Without sand or water the barricades are very susceptible to the effects of jet blast or high winds and can go flying across the airfield creating a potential FOD hazard or injuring personnel. 25

26 It is proposed that short term closures will be set up using only O Hare approved A frame or highway A frame barricades spaced every 15. This spacing will provide ample room for CDA vehicles to enter and exit the site as needed, but also provide enough barricades to be seen by taxiing aircraft. As best practice the location of the barricade line will be at the TOFA of the open taxiway intersection or ROFA of an open intersecting runway. However, this may not always be possible due to the limited spacing around several transitional taxiways. In these cases the barricade line will be placed at the farthest distance possible without encroaching upon other open taxiways, but may be within the taxiway object free area of the open taxiway. The O Hare A Frame barricade has been successfully used on the airfield for nearly 15 years. The construction of the barricade is such that it can sustain the effects of high winds, moderate jet blast and are highly visible. The photometrics of the two LED lights on the barricade are designed to project emitted light upward toward the pilot of a taxiing aircraft making them highly visible from several hundred feet away. To further ensure all construction workers are familiar with the purpose of the barricades and the reasons for the messages on the barricade panels. Barricades are covered in length during all 303 training classes, so every contractor that receives a badge and works on the airfield understands the importance and limitations of AOA barricade lines.. The contractor is required to review all barricade criteria defined below as well as criteria referenced in section 207b.i. They must acknowledge these rules and procedures in the Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD). All barricades must be in good working order. Damaged or broken barricades must be repaired or replaced or cannot be used on the AOA. A frame barricade signs and reflective tape must be visible at all times AOA Barricades cannot be set-up until approved by CDA Operations AOA Barricades cannot be removed until contractor is cleared by CDA Operations Quantities identified within the CSPP must be adhered to Barricade red obstruction lights must be 100% operational at all times. To facilitate future barricade set-up; the contractor may identify the location of each barricade with a small paint mark on the pavement surface. 26

27 a. Short Term Barricade Spacing for AOA Closures Due to the limited time available for AOA closures and in an effort to maximize productivity, daily and or nightly closures of taxiways and runways will be set up using the following barricade spacing criteria: Taxiway and/or runway closures less than 24 hours in duration will be permitted to use ORD specific A Frame barricades spaced every 15. (see fig. 7). As best practice, barricades should always be set up outside the OFA of an open pavement. However, this may not be possible for all locations. In these situations barricade locations will be closely coordinated with CDA Operations and will be placed as close to the OFA of the open pavement as possible. All barricades are required to be 100% operational with no inoperative lights. Barricades are to be clean so all reflective material is clearly visible. The graphics below depict the barricade spacing for short term closures for various widths of AOA Pavements: 75 wide taxiway short term closure 100 wide taxiway short term closure 150 wide runway short term closure 27

28 Figure 7 b. Extended Barricade Spacing for AOA Closures Taxiway and/or runway closures that exceed 24 hours in duration will use a combination of ORD A frames or highway A frame and low mass low profile barricades. A frame barricades will be spaced at 15 intervals with one low mass low profile barricade between the A Frames. One A frame is always to be placed on the centerline of the closed taxiway or runway, then evenly spaced every 15 out. If directed by CDA operations gaps may be requested to provide for ARFF access into the closed section of the pavement. Any gaps are to be located on the taxiway or runway edge line, never on the centerline. For extended closures barricades must be filled with sand or water. Any obstructions lights that are missing or damaged must be immediately repaired. The placement of barricades for extended closures will be located at the object free area for any intersecting taxiways or runways. On taxiways where the close proximity of adjacent open taxiways will not permit the barricades to be placed at the OFA, barricades will be placed as far out as possible. (see fig. 8) As an addition measure to mitigate the potential of vehicle operators driving onto active portions of the AOA, all badged construction personnel are required to attend FAR Part airfield safety training. The use of barricades, their location and purpose are covered at great length to ensure all workers understand where they can and cannot drive. 28

29 75 wide taxiway extended closure 120 wide taxiway extended closure 150 wide Runway extended closure 200 wide taxiway extended closure Figure 8 c. Protection of Excavations All open excavations within the ROFA will utilize low mass low profile barricades only or snow fence. Any barricades or snow fence within the ROFA cannot be higher than 18. Barricades will be continuously connected unless otherwise directed by CDA Operations. Openings will be maintained in the barricade line for ARFF access. Barricade placement and protection of excavated areas outside of a runway or taxiway object free area for construction purposes will be permitted to use regular highway A frame barricades, jersey barricade walls, or equivalent. At no time can 29

30 ORD Type A frame barricades be used to delineate excavations or construction hazards. d. Utility Lines - All utilities will be protected/identified using the approved ORD utility markers. Markers are 2 PVC pipe with the appropriate utility identifier label affixed to it. Utility labels can be obtained from the OMP utility coordinator. Utilities that have been hydro excavated and must remain open will be readily marked and clearly identified using approved methods in accordance with AC 150/5370-2F. If it is not required for an excavated utility locate to remain open, the hydro excavated area shall be filled in and graded to meet FAR Part 139 standards. Refer to the following graphic for detailed standards regarding the use of survey and utility markers within the critical areas of the airfield. e. Marking of Temporary Electrical Conduits/Circuits Temporary electrical conduits and/or circuits will not be required for this project. f. Runway Closure Marker (RCM) Runway closure markers will not be required for this project. g. Marking, Signing and Lighting Removal for Extended AOA Closures There will be no extended AOA closures for this project Protection of Runway and Taxiway Safety Areas As described in previous sections of this CSPP, work will not occur within the critical areas of runways or taxiways. However, as a general rule all criteria regarding Runway and taxiway safety areas and object free areas are covered in detail for each project CSPP in the event they are needed at some point in the project. The following describes the requirements and procedures for runway and taxiway safety and object free areas, runway obstacle free zone, approach and departure surfaces, construction set back distances and fiber optic installation special conditions. Runway and taxiway safety areas provide a safe area adjacent to active pavements to allow aircraft to maneuver in the event of an emergency and the aircraft leaves the pavement. For this reason all safety areas must remain free of excavations, elevation changes greater than 3" (up or down) and storing, staging or stockpiling of any material or equipment. 30

31 Safety areas must be protected during all construction activities and comply with all FAR Part 139 standards. Any work within a safety area must be coordinated through the resident engineer and Airport Operations. Work will only be permitted in these areas when a runway or taxiway is closed or restricted for a lesser aircraft design group. The contractor will be required to place snow fence or silt fence at locations adjacent to all work sites at the limits of the RSA or TSA to clearly identify them for necessary runways and taxiways. Fencing used in these locations cannot exceed 18 in height. a. Runway Safety Area (RSA) Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the RSA while the runway is open. The contractor will be responsible to backfill, compact and grade all open trenches and excavations prior to opening a runway with suitable material. All damage to infield grass areas due to construction activities MUST be repaired to meet FAR Part 139 standards prior to opening. Survey marking lathe and utility markers are normally not permitted within the RSA. If it is critical to mark, identify or locate an object or point within the RSA the following criteria must be followed: Prior approval from CDA Operations before leaving anything within an RSA Utility locating flags can be used sparingly If survey hubs or lathe are used they cannot be higher than 3" from the surrounding elevation. b. Runway Object Free Area (ROFA) Construction activities are permitted in a runway object free area. However, at the completion of the work day all equipment, material and stockpiles must be moved outside the object free area. Trenches and excavations are permitted and may remain open but they must be prominently marked with low mass low profile barricades, or silt fence. All barricades used within a ROFA must not exceed 18" in height (see fig. 9). If required by CDA Operations the contractor will be required to place snow fence or silt fence at locations adjacent to all work sites to identify the ROFA for a runways. Regular height snow fence will be permitted to identify this area. 31

32 Figure 9 c. Taxiway Safety Area (TSA) Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within the TSA while a taxiway is open. The contractor will be responsible to backfill, compact and grade all open trenches and excavations prior to opening a taxiway with suitable material. All damage to infield grass areas due to construction activities MUST be repaired to meet FAR Part 139 standards prior to opening. The contractor will be required to place snow fence or silt fence at locations adjacent to all work sites to identify the TSA for necessary taxiways. Fencing used in these locations cannot exceed 18 in height Survey marking lathe and utility markers are normally not permitted within the TSA. If it is critical to mark, identify or locate an object or point within the TSA the following criteria must be followed: Prior approval from CDA Operations before leaving anything within an TSA Utility locating flags can be used sparingly Survey hubs or lathe are used they cannot be higher than 3" from the surrounding elevation. 32

33 d. Taxiway Object Free Area (TOFA) Work within the taxiway object free area is more restrictive than a ROFA due the potential of an aircraft wing tip penetrating this area. Specific to this project, no work will occur within the TOFA while a taxiway is open to air traffic. For daily taxiway closures; at the end of the work day all equipment and stockpiles will be staged or parked outside the TOFA. No parking or servicing of equipment will be permitted within the TOFA. If required by CDA Operations the contractor will be required to place snow fence or silt fence at locations adjacent to all work sites to identify the TOFA for necessary taxiways. Regular height snow fence will be permitted to identify this area. (see fig. 10) Figure 10 e. Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ) There will not be any construction activities within runway obstacle free zones. f. Runway approach/departure surfaces There will not be any construction activities within runway approach/departure surfaces. g. Construction Set-back Distance (CSD) Construction activities will not require work within the CSD of any taxiway. 33

34 222. Other Limitations During Construction All cranes or tall pieces of equipment are required to boom down to the lowest point possible at the completion of the work day or as directed by the FAA in the 7460 airspace response letter. a. Prohibitions The following items are prohibited from use on this project i. No open flame welding or torches unless hot permit has been issued for the specific work ii. Electric blasting caps may be permitted for mining operations only if the contractor can show a need for the operation and all approvals are received from CDA Safety and the Chicago Fire Department. iii. Flare pots are not permitted on the AOA iv. Marking tape shall not be used for temporary or permanent pavement markings on runways, taxiways, taxi lanes or gate parking aprons. b. Restrictions Throughout the course of the project certain airport restrictions may apply to construction activities. It is important for the contractor to work closely with the resident engineer and airport operations to identify airfield work restrictions that will impact this project. i. Construction suspension required during specific airport operations Please refer to details as described in section 217 ii. Areas that cannot be worked on simultaneously Not applicable to this project iii. Day or night construction restrictions Please refer to details as described in section 207 Seasonal construction activities As described in section 217.a airfield construction activities may be suspended due to airport snow removal operations. Cancellation of work may occur on a moment s notice. If a contractor has a critical airfield activity to occur during the winter season, they must coordinate with the resident engineer and airport operations the specifics and importance of the activity. All costs associated with unexpected construction shut downs or cancellations during the winter season will be the responsibility of the contractor. 34
