Page 7 of 91
B. Liquidated Damages
The time of the completion of construction of the project is of the essence of the contract.
Should the Contractor neglect, refuse or fail to complete the construction within the time herein
agreed upon, after giving effect to extensions of time, if any, herein provided, then, in that event
and in view of the difficulty of estimating with exactness damages caused by such delay, the
Owner shall have the right to deduct from and retain out of such money which may be then due
or which may become due and payable to the Contractor the sum of ONE THOUSAND FIVE
HLJNDRED DOLLARS ($1,500.00) per day for each and every day, including weekends, that
such construction is delayed on its completion beyond the speciiied time, as liquidated damages
and not as a penalty; if the amount due and to become due from the Owner to the Contractor is
insufficient to pay in full any such liquidated damages, the Contractor shall pay to the Owner the
amount necessary to effect such payment in full: Provided, however, that the Owner shall
promptly notify the Contractor in writing of the manner in which the amount retained, deducted
or claimed as liquidated damages was computed.
C. Cumulative Remedies
Every right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Owner shall be cumulative, shall
be in addition to every right and remedy now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or by
statute, and the pursuit of any right or remedy shall not be construed as an election. Provided,
however, that the provisions of the REMEDIES SECTION shall be the exclusive measure of
damages for failure by the Contractor to complete the construction of the project within the time
herein agreed upon.

Subject: Operational Safety on Date: 9/29/11 AC No: 150/5370-2F
Airports During Construction Initiated by: AAS-100
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 ineeting 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 Ftisk 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
references do not include a revision letter, as they are to be read as referring to the latest version.
Appendix 1 contains a list of reading material on airport construction, design, and potential safety hazards
during construction, as well as instructions for obtaining these documents.

Chapter 1. Planning an Airfield Construction Praject
AC 150/5370-2F
101. Overview. Airports are complex environments, and procedures and conditions assaciated with
construction activities often affect aircraft operations and can jeapardize operational safety. Safety
considerations are paramount and may make operational impacts unavoidable. However, careful planning,
scheduling, and coordination af construction activities can minimize disruption of narmal aircraft
operatians and avoid situations that campromise the airport's operational safety. The airport operator
must understand how construction activities and aircraft operations affect one another to be able ta
develop an effective plan to complete the project. While the guidance in this AC is primarily used for
construction operations, some af 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 far Safety. Safety, maintaining aircraft operations, and construction casts are all
interrelated. Since safety must not be compromised, the airport operator must strike a balance between
maintaining aircraft aperations and construction costs. This balance will vary widely depending on the
operational needs and resources of the airport and will require early caordinatian with airpart users and
the FAA. As the project design progresses, the necessary construction lacations, 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 canstruction activities, aften by phasing the project, and/or to
airport operations in order to maintain operatianal 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 airpart 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. Descrfbe Current Operat►ons. Identify the normal airport operations in each affected area for
each phase of the project. This becomes the baseline fram which the impact on aperations 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 informatian related to airport operatians: the Aircraft
Reference Code (ACRC) for each runway; Airplane Design Group (ADG) and Taxiway Design Group
(TDG)' for each affected taxiway; designated approach visibility minimums; available approach and
departure procedures; most demanding aircraft; declared distances; available air traffic contral services;
airport Surface Movement Guidance and Control System plan; and others. The applicable seasons, days
and times for certain operatians should also be identified as applicable.
c. Allow far Temporary Changes to Operatians. To the extent practical, current airport
aperations 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 operatar should identify and prioritize the airpart's most important operations. The construction
activities should be planned, thraugh 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 accardingly. Allowable changes
include temporary revisions to approach procedures, restricting certain aircraft ta specific runways and
taxiways, suspension of certain operations, decreased weights for same aircraft due ta shortened runways,
' Taxiway Design Group will be introduced in AC 150/5300-13A.

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 Of�ce 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 Reqnirements. 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.
Chapter 1 Planning an Airfield Construction Project 2
29, 2011
AC 150/5370-2F
c. Assume Respansibility 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 Consiruction?
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.
h. 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 5tandards Service, and other offices that support airport operations, flight regulations, and
construction/environmental policies.)
(4) Ensure contact informatian is accurate for each representative/point of contact
identified in the CSPP and SPCD.
(5} Hold weekly or, if necessary, daily safety meeiings with all affected parties to
coordinate activities.
(6) Natify users, ARFF persannel, 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.
Chapter 1 Planning an Airfield Construction Project
AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011
(9) Ensure vehicle and pedestrian aperations addressed in the CSPP and SPCD are
coordinated with airport tenants, the airport traffic control tower (ATCT), and construction contractors.
(10} At certi�caied 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 5PCD (for example, implementation of low-visibility operations).
(14) Ensure prompt snbmittal of a Notice of Propased 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 natify the FAA Airports Regional or District Of�ce 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 Constructian Contractor's Responsihilities. 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 emplayees 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.
Chapter 1 Planning an Airfield Construction Project 4
29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F
(6) Resirict 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 equiprnent), 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 consuliant 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 C5PP 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.

Chapter 2. Construction Safety and Phasing Plans
Section 1. Basic Considerations
AC 150/5370-2F
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 Respansibility. 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 ofthe 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 ofthe project design.
b. Submit a Canstruction 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 SPCI7
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 SPCI7.

The contractor statement should include the name of the contractor, the title of the project CSPP, the
approval date of the C5PP, 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:
(1) Coordination. Discuss details of proposed safety meetings with the airport operator and
with contractor employees and subcontractors.
(2) Phasing. Discuss proposed construction schedule elements, including:

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 iinal 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. Tn 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.
�r. Phase Elements. For each phase the CSPP should detail:
• Areas closed to aircraft operations
11 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans
AC 150/5370-2F
• 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 notiiications
September 29, 2011
b. Construct'ron 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.

Interruption of utilities, including water supplies for fire fighting.
Approach/departure snrfaces affected by heights of objects.
Construction areas, storage areas, and access routes near runways, taxiways, aprons, or
b. Mitegation 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.
Detours for ARFF and other airport vehicles.
Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 12
�• _� _1
AC 150/5370-2F
(3) Maintenance of essential utilities.
(4} Temparary changes to air traffic control procedures. Such changes must be
coordinated with the ATO.
208. Navigation Aid (NAVAID) Protectfon. 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 canstruction activity and the
required distance and direction iram the NAVAID. (See paragraph 213.e(3) belaw.} 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 ccCTIIICUl U1P�99 associated with each
NAVAID and describe haw 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 fram the ATCT or with electranic emissions. Interference from construction equipment and
activities may require NAVAID shutdown or adjustment of instrument approach minimums far low
visibility aperations. This condition requires that a NOTAM be filed (see paragraph 213.b below).
Canstruction activities and materials/equipment starage near a NAVAID must not abstruct 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. Cantractor Access. The CSPP must detail the areas to which the contractor must have access,
and explain how contractar persannel will access those areas. Specifically address:
a. Locatfon of Stackpfled Construction Materials. Stockpiled materials and equipment starage
are not permitted within the RSA and OFZ, and if passible shauld not be permitted within the Obj ect Free
Area (OFA) of an operational runway. Stackpiling material in the OFA requires submittal of a 7460-1
form and justification provided to the appropriate FAA Airports Regional ar District Offce for appraval.
The airport operator must ensure that stockpiled materials and equipment adjacent to these areas are
praminently marked and lighted during haurs 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 ta prevent attraction of wildlife and foreign
object damage. See paragraphs 210 and 211 below.
b. Vehicle and Pedestrfan Operations. The CSPP should include specific vehicle and pedestrian
requirements. Vehicle and pedestrian access rautes for airport construction projects must be controlled ta
prevent inadvertent or unauthorized entry of persons, vehicles, or animals onto the AOA. The airport
operator should coordinate requirements for vehicle operations with airpart tenants, contractors, and the
FAA air traffic manager. In regard to vehicle and pedestrian operations, the CSPP should include the
follawing, and detail associated training requirements:
(1) Construction site parking. Designate in advance vehicle parking areas for contractar
employees to prevent any unauthorized entry of persans or vehicles onto the AOA. These areas should
provide reasanable contractor employee access to the job site.
(2) Construction equipment parking. Contractor emplayees must park and service all
construction vehicles in an area designated by the airport operatar outside the OFZ and never in the safety
area of an active runway or taxiway. Unless a complex setup pracedure makes mavement af specialized
equipment infeasible, inactive equipment must not be parked on a closed taxiway or runway. If it is
necessary ta leave specialized equipment on a clased t�iway or runway at night, the equipment must be
well lighted. Employees should also park construction vehicles outside the OFA when nat in use by

AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011
construction persannel (for example, overnight, on weekends, or during other periads when constructian
is not active). Parking areas must not abstruct the clear line af sight by the ATCT to any taxiways ar
runways under air traffic control nor obstruct any runway visual aids, signs, or navigation aids. The FAA
must alsa study those areas to determine effects on airpart design criteria, surfaces established by 14 CFR
Part 77y SU1Piy Efficient Use, and Preservation of the Navigable Airspace (Part 77), and an NAVAIDs and
Instrument Approach Procedures (IAP). See paragraph 213.e(1) belaw for further informatian.
(3) Access and haul roads. Determine the construction contractar's access to the
construction sites and haul roads. Do nat permit the construction contractor to use any access or haul
roads other than thase approved. Access routes used by contractor vehicles must be clearly marked to
prevent inadvertent entry to areas open ta airport operations. Pay special attention to ensure that if
constructian 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 ar approach surfaces af
operatianal runways.
(4) Marking and lfghting of veh°rcles in accordance with AC 150/5210-5, Painting,
Marking, and Lighting of Vehicles Used on an Airport.
(5) Description of proper vehicle operations an various areas under narmal, lost
communications, and emergency conditions.
(6} Required escorts.
(7) Training requirements far vehicle drivers to ensure compliance with the airpart
operator's vehicle rules and regulations. Specific training shauld be provided to those vehicle operators
providing escorts. See AC 150/5210-20, Ground Vehicle Operatians on Airports, for information an
training and records maintenance requirements.
(8} Situational awareness. Vehicle drivers must canfirm by personal observation that no
aircraft is appraaching their position (either in the air or an the ground) when given clearance to cross a
runway, taxiway, or any other area open to airport operations. In addition, it is the responsibility af the
escort vehicle driver to verify the movement/position of all escorted vehicles at any given time.
(9} Two-way radio communication procednres.
(a) General. The airpart operator must ensure that tenant and construction contractor
personnel engaged in activities invalving unescorted operation on aircraft mavement 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 persannel
must understand the critical importance of maintaining radio contact, as directed by the airport operator,
with:
(i} Airport operatians
(ii) ATCT
(iii) Comman Traffic Advisory Frequency (CTAF), which may include LJNICOM,
MULTICOM.
(iv) Automatic Terminal Infarmatian Service (ATIS). This frequency is useful far
monitoring canditions on the airport. Local air traffic will braadcast infarmation regarding construction
related runway closures and "shortened" runways on the ATIS frequency.
(b) Areas requiring twa-way radia 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.
Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 14
September 29, 2011
AC 150/5370-2F
(c} Frequencies to be used. The airpart operator will specify the frequencies to be
used by the cantractar, which may include the CTAF for monitoring af aircraft operations. Frequencies
may alsa be assigned by the airport operator for other communications, including any radia frequency in
compliance with Federal Cammunications Commission requirements. At airparts with an ATCT, the
airpart operator will specify the frequency assigned by the ATCT to be used between cantractor vehicles
and the ATCT.
(d} Proper radio usage, including read back requirements.
(e} Praper phraseology, including the International Phonetic Alphabet.
(� Light gun signals. Even though radio communicatian is maintained, escart
vehicle drivers must also familiarize themselves with ATCT light gun signals in the event af radio failure.
See the FAA safety placard 66Ground Vehicle Guide to Airport Signs and Markings." This safety placard
may be downloaded thraugh the Runway 5afety Program Web site at h�://www.faa.�ov/airports/
runway_safetv/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 operatars and contractors must take care to maintain
security during constructian when access paints are created in the security %ncing to permit the passage
of construction vehicles or personnel. Temparary gates should be equipped so they can be securely closed
and locked to prevent access by animals and unauthorized people. Procedures shauld be in place ta ensure
that only authorized persans and vehicles have access to the AOA and to prohibit bbpiggybacking" behind
another person or vehicle. The Department of Transportatian (DOT) document DOT/FAA/AR-00/52,
Recommended Security Guidelines far Airport Planning and Construction, provides more specific
informatian on fencing. A copy ofthis document can be abtained from the Airport Consultants Council,
Airports Council International, or American Associatian of Airport Executives.
(b) Badging requirements.
(c} Airports subject to 49 CFR Part 1542, Airport Securiry, must meet standards for
access cantrol, mavement of ground vehicles, and identification of construction contractor and tenant
personnel.
210. Wrldlrfe anagement. The CSPP and SPCD must be in accordance with the airpart operator's
wildlife hazard management plan, if applicable. See alsa AC 150/5200-33, Hazardaus Wildlife
Attractants On or Near Airports, and Certalert 98-05, Grasses Attractive to Hazardous Wildlife.
Construction cantractars must carefully control and cantinuously remove waste or loase materials that
might attract wildlife. Contractor persannel 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 constructian persannel 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 Airparts, Item T-901, Seeding. Contact the local affice of the
United Sates Department af Agriculture Soil Conservation Service or the State University Agricultural
Extension Service (County Agent ar equivalent) for assistance and recommendations. These agencies can
also provide liming and fertilizer recommendations.
15 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans
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 rnust 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 frorn
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 ofAirport Industrial Waste.
213. Notifcation 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. Notif�cation 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
Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 16
September 29, 2011 AC 150/5370-2F
parking areas for this equipment (i.e. cranes, graders, ather equipment) on airports. FAA Form 7460-1,
Notice af Proposed Construction or Alteration, can be used for this purpose and submitted ta the
appropriate FAA Airports Regional ar 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 aperator 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 af a runway, landing strip, or associated
taxiway; or the deactivatian or abandoning of an entire airport. Notification involves submitting FAA
Form 7480-1, Natice 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-natice) notificatian about impacts to both airport
owned and FAA owned NAVAIDs, cantact: 866-432-2622.
(a) Airpart owned/FAA maintained. If canstruction aperations require a shutdown of
mare than 24 haurs, or mare than 4 hours daily an 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 shutdawn.
(b) FAA owned.
(i) General. The airport operatar 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 ta NAVAIDs. (Impacts to FAA equipment covered by a Reimbursable Agreement
(RA) do not have to be reported by the airport operator.)
(ii) Coardinate work for an FAA owned NAVAID shutdown with the local FAA
ATO/Technical Operatians office, including any necessary reimbursable agreements and flight checks.
Detail procedures that address unanticipated utility autages and cable cuts that could impact FAA
NAVAIDs. In addition, provide seven days notice to schedule the actual shutdown.
214. Inspection Reqnirements.
a. Daily Inspectians. Inspectians shauld 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, Airpart Safety Self-Inspection.
b. Final Inspections. New runways and extended runway closures may require safety inspectians at
certificated airparts prior to allawing 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 pracedures for lacating 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
Operatians
216. Penalties. The CSPP should detail penalty provisions for nancompliance with airport rules and
regulations and the safety plans (for example, if a vehicle is involved in a runway incursian). 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
17 Chapter 2 Canstructian Safety and Phasing Plans
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. Rnnway 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.
Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 18
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. Pigure 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.
19 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans
AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011
(d) Taxiways.
(i) Permanently Closed Taxiways. AC 150/5300-13 nates that it is preferable to
remove the pavement, but for pavement that is to remain, place an X at the entrance to both ends af the
closed section. Obliterate taxiway centerline markings, including runway leadoff lines, leading to the
closed taxiway. Figure 2-2 illustrates.
Ffgure 2-2 Taxfway Closure
(ii} Temporarily Closed Taxiways. Place barricades outside the safety area of
intersecting taxiways. Far runway/t�iway intersectians, place an X at the entrance to the closed taxiway
fram the runway. If the taxiway will be closed for an extended periad, obliterate taxiway centerline
markings, including runway leadoff lines, leading to the clased section. If the centerline markings will be
reused upon reopening the taxiway, it is preferable ta paint over the maxking. This will result in less
damage to the pavement when the upper layer of paint is ultimately removed.
(e) Temporarily Closed Airpart. When the airport is closed temporarily, mark all the
runways as closed.

AC 150/5370-2F
(i) If unable to paint temporary markings on the pavement, construct them from any
of the following materials: fabric, colored plastic, painted sheets af plywoad, or similar materials. They
must be properly configured and appropriately secured to prevent movement by prop wash, jet blast, or
other wind currents.
(ii} It may be necessary to remave or caver runway markings, including but not
limited to, runway designation markings, threshold markings, centerline markings, edge stripes,
touchdawn zone markings and aiming paint markings, depending an the length af construction and type
of activity at the airport. When removing runway markings, apply the same treatment to areas between
stripes ar numbers, as the cleaned area will appear to pilots as a marking in the shape of the treated area.
(iii} If it is not possible ta install threshald bars, chevrans, 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 discernable on grass or snow, apply a black background with appropriate material
aver the ground to ensure they are clearly visible.
(iv} The application rate of paint to mark a short-term temporary runway and ta�ciway
markings may deviate from the standard (see Item P-620y 66Runway and Taxiway Painting," in AC
150/5370-10), but the dimensions must meet the existing standards.
(fl 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, Specificatian
for Portable Runway and Taxiway Lights. When discannecting runway and taxiway lighting fxtures,
discannect the associated isolatian transformers. Alternately, cover the light fixture in such a way as to
prevent light leakage. Avaid 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
electrocutian and fire ignition saurces.
(2) Permanently Closed unways and Taxiways. Far runways and taxiways that have
been permanently closed, disconnect the lighting circuits.
21 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans
AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011
(3) 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
(4) 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
Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 22
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 hazardaus situation. For
both partially closed runways and displaced thresholds, approach lighting systems at the affected end
must be placed out of service
(a) Partially Clased 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 af the displacement emits red
light in the direction of approach and yellow light in the opposite directian. Centerline lights are blanked
aut in the direction of approach if the displacement is 700 ft or less. If the displacement is over 700 ft,
place the centerline lights aut of service. See AC 150/5340-30 for details an lighting displaced threshalds.
(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 temparary 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
an approach are green. Markers at the rollout end of the runway are red. At certificated airports,
temporary elevated threshald 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 nat more than 3 in (7.6
cm) above ground. When any portion of a base is above grade, place properly compacted fill araund 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.
( fl Maintain threshold and edge lighting color and spacing standards as described in
AC 150/5340-30. Battery powered, salar, or portable lights that meet the criteria in AC 150/5345-50 may
be used. These systems are intended primarily far visual flight rules (VFR) aircraft operations but may be
used for instrument flight rules (IFR) aircraft operations, upan individual approval fram the Flight
Standards Divisian 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
airpart lights, such as Runway End Identifier Lights (REIL}; and approach lights to identify the temparary
threshold. Another option is ta disable the VGSI ar any equipment that would give misleading indications
to pilats as to the new threshold location. Installation of temparary visual aids may be necessary ta
provide adequate guidance ta pilots on approach ta the affected runway. If the FAA owns and operates
the VGSI, coordinate its installation ar disabling with the local ATO/Technical Operations Office.
Relocation of such visual aids will depend on the duratian of the project and the benefits gained from the
relocation, as this can result in great expense.
(i) Issue a NOTAM io infarm pilots af temporary lighting conditions.
(5) Temporarily Closed Taxiways. If possible, deactivate the taxiway lighting circuits.
When deactivation is not possible (for example other taxiways an the same circuit are to remain open},
23 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans
AC 150/5370-2F September 29, 2011
cover the light fixture in such a way as ta prevent light leakage.
c. Signs. To the extent possible, signs must be in conformance with AC 150/5345-44, Specification
for Runway and T�iway Signs and AC 150/5340-18, Standard far Airport Sign Systems. Any time a
sign does nat 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 proj ects, consider relocating signs, especially
runway distance remaining signs.
219. arking 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 Administratian Manual on Uniform Traffic Contral I7evices (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 arking and Lightfng 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 indicatars for any area affected by canstruction 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. Alsa
consider less obvious construction-related hazards and include markings to identify FAA, airport, and
Natianal 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.
I! �u-i
(1) Barricades, including traffc cones, (weighted or sturdily attached to the surface) are
acceptable methods used to identify and define the limits of construction and hazardaus areas an airports.
Careful consideration must be given to selecting equipment that pases 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. Pravision must be made for ARFF access if necessary. If barricades
are intended ta exclude pedestrians, they must be continuously linked. Continuous linking may be
accomplished through the use of rapes, securely attached to prevent FOD.
(2) Lights must be red, either steady burning or flashing, and must meet the luminance
requirements ofthe State Highway Department. Batteries powering lights will last longer if lights flash.
Lights must be mounted on barricades and spaced at na more than 10 ft. Lights must be aperated between
sunset and sunrise and during periods of low visibility whenever the airport is apen far operations. They
may be operated by photocell, but this may require that the contractor turn them an manually during
periods of low visibility during daytime hours.
(3) Supplement barricades with signs (for example "Na 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 ar steady
burning red lights as noted above, collapsible barricades marked with diagonal, alternating orange and
Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 24
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 Operatians Area — Runway/Taxfway Intersections. Use highly reflective
barricades with lights to close ta�ciways leading to closed runways. Evaluate all operating factors when
determining how to mark temporary clasures that can last fram 10 to 15 minutes to a much longer period
of time. However, even for closures of relatively short duration, close all ta.�ciway/runway intersections
with barricades. The use of traffc cones is appropriate for short duration closures.
(6) Air Operations Area — Other. Beyond runway and taxiway object free areas and
25 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans
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 speciiications must include a provision requiring the
cantractar to have a person on ca1124 hours a day for emergency maintenance of airport hazard lighting
and barricades. The cantractor must file the cantact persan's information with the airport operator.
Lighting should be checked far 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), abject 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. Caordinate with the appropriate FAA Airports
Regional ar 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 far reducing the risk of damage to airplanes in the event af an undershoat,
overshoot, or excursion from the runway (see AC 150/5300-13). Canstructian activities within the
existing RSA are subject to the fallowing conditions:
(1} No construction may occur wfthfn the existing RSA while the runway is apen for
aircraft operations. The RSA dimensions may be temporarily adjusted ifthe 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 Regianal 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 adj ustment of RSA dimensions as permitted
above with the appropriate FAA Airports Regional or District Ofiice 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 ar excavations are nat permitted within the RSA while the runway
is open. If possible, backfill trenches befare the runway is opened. If the runway must be opened before
excavations are backfilled, caver the excavations appropriately. Covering far open trenches must be
designed to allow the safe operation of the heaviest aircraft operating an the runway across the trench
without damage to the aircraft.
(b) Construction contractors must praminently mark open trenches and excavatians
at the construction site with red ar orange flags, as approved by the airport aperator, and light them with
red lights during hours af restricted visibility or darkness.
(5) Erosion Cantrol. 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, ar 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.
Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans 26
ber 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 procedares 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 ifthe 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:
27 Chapter 2 Construction Safety and Phasing Plans
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} Constructian activity in a rnnway 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. I7epending 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 eqnipment (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 tarches unless fire safety precautions are provided and
the airport operator has approved their use.
(3) Na use of electrical blasting caps on or within 1,000 ft (300 m) of the airport property.

Chapter 3. Guidelines for Writing a CSPP
AC 150/5370-2F
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 sectian number and title in the CSPP matches the corresponding subject
outlined in Chapter 2, paragraph 204 (for example, 1. Coardination, 2. Phasing, 3. Areas and Operatians
Affected by the Construction Activity, and so on.). With the exception of the praject scape 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, facus on the specific
subject. Where an overlapping requirement spans several sections, the requirement should be explained in
detail in the most applicable sectian. A reference to that section should be included in all ather 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 (Sectian 1. Caordination, 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 far protecting underground ILS cables
during trenching operations shauld 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 Zocated by hand diggrng whenever the trenching oper°ation moves wrthin 10 feet of
the cable markings." All other applicable sections should include a reference to Section 11: "ILS cables
shall be identifred and protected as described in Section 11" or "See Section 11 for ILS cable
identification and protection requirements." Thus, the CSPP shauld be considered as a whole, with no
need to duplicate responses to related issues.
303. Graphical Representations. Canstruction safety drawings should be included in the CSPP as
attachments. When other graphical representations will aid in supporting written statements, the drawings,
diagrams, and/ar 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 Docnments. The CSPP must nat 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 dacument must be provided to the contractor.
305. Restrfctions. The CSPP should not be considered as a project design review document. The
CSPP should also avoid mention of permanent ("as-built99) features such as pavements, markings, signs,
and lighting, except when such features are intended to aid in maintaining operational safety during the
canstruction.
306. Caordination. Include in this sectian a detailed descriptian af canferences and meetings both
before and during the praject. Include apprapriate information fram AC 150/5300-9. Discuss coardination
procedures and schedules for each required FAA ATO airway facility shutdown and restart and all
required flight inspections.
31 Chapter 3 Guidelines for Writing a CSPP
AC 150/5370-2F
September 29, 2011
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.

Complete the following chart for each phase to determine the area that must be protected along the
runway edges:
Complete the following chart for each phase to determine the area that must be protected before the
runway threshold:
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 undergound 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
33 Chapter 3 Guidelines for Writing a CSPP
AC 150/5370-2F
ber 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 airporYs recordkeeping system listing authorized vehicle operators.
c. Two-Way Radio Communicaiions. 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 rnonitor 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 e�sting 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
Chapter 3 Guidelines for Writing a CSPP 34
ber 29, 2011
AC 150/5370-2F
identified. Include a reference to parag,raph 310 for HAZMAT vehicle identification requirements. Quote
from, rather than incorporate by reference, AC 150/5320-15.
314. Notificatian of Constraction 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, VPI7, 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.
35 Chapter 3 Guidelines for Writing a CSPP
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 af 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 far Airport Markings, AC 150/5340-18, Standards far 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 far vehicle access
routes. Ta the extent possible, signs should be in conformance with the Federal Highway Administration
Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD} and/ar State highway specifications, not hand
lettered. Detail any modifications ta 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 ta 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 ta graphically indicate the placement of hazard marking and
lighting equipment.
322. Pratection of Runway and Taxiway Safety Areas. This section should facus exclusively on
pracedures for protecting all safety areas, including those altered by the constructian: methads of
demarcatian, limit of access, movement within safety areas, stockpiling and trenching restrictians, and so
on. Reference AC 150/5300-13: Airport Design as required. Include a reference to paragraph 310 abave
for procedures regarding vehicle and personnel movement within safety areas. Include a reference to
paragraph 310 above for material stackpile restrictions as required. Detail requirements far 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 clasures are praposed to protect
safety areas, or if temporary displaced threshalds 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
thase altered by the canstruction: methads of demarcation, limit af cranes, storage of equipment, and so
on. Quote from, rather than incorparate 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 af equipment that will move during the project is to establish a three-dimensional cbbox" within
which equipment will be canfined that can be studied as a single object. Attach drawings to graphically
indicate the safety area, OFZ, and OFA baundaries.
323. Other Limitations on Construction. This section should describe what limitations must be
applied to each area of wark 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 abave
far project phasing requirements based on constructian limitations as required.

The situations identifed below are potentially hazardous conditions that may occur during airport
construction projects. Safety area encroachments, unauthorized and improper ground vehicle operations,
and unmarked ar 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.

PERFORMANCE AND PAYMENT BONDS
(a) Subject to the provisions of these general conditions and the NCTCOG specifications, the
Contractor shall, with the execution and delivery of the Construction Services
Agreement, furnish and file with the Owner in the amounts required in this Paragraph, the
surety bonds described in Clauses (a)(1) and (a)(2) below, which surety bonds shall be in
accordance with the Charter of the City of Denton and the provisions of Chapter 2253,

Page 23 of 91
these general provisions and the NCTCOG specifications, and approved by the Owner.
The surety bonds shall be accompanied by an appropriate Power-of-Attorney clearly
establishing the extent and limitations of the authority of each signer to so sign:
(1) Performance Bond. The Contractor shall have on file with the City of Denton, Texas,
before execution of the contract a good and sufficient performance bond with an
approved surety in an amount equal to one-hundred (100) percent of the total cost of this
project, guaranteeing that the workmanship and materials furnished under these
specifications and used in all parts of said improvements are in all respects first class and
of such kind and quality that for a period of two (2) vears from the completion and final
��°c����rr�c� �F��;¢~���' l�y the said ���l;y, of I���°������ the improvements shall require no
repairs, the necessity for which shall be occasioned by defects in said workmanship or
material. If, however, during the said period, in the opinion of the Mayor and City
Council, the said improvements or associated structures and equipment shall require
repairs and the necessity for such repairs, shall, in their opinion, be occasioned by
defective workmanship or materials furnished in the construction of any part thereof or
any of the accessories thereto, built by this Contractor, then such repairs, on due notice
being given at any time during said period, by the City, to the Contractor, shall promptly
be made by the Contractor in the following manner:
Upon notice from the City, served at any time during the period of said guarantee, the
Contractor shall at his own expense take out and remove all worn out, inferior or
defective materials found in the improvements as shown on the plans or any other
part of the improvements or accessories thereto, and good acceptable materials shall
be substituted therefore, including any materials that have become injured, or have
become damaged by reason of their being in close proximity to such imperfect
material or workmanship, the Contractor shall take up, repair and/or replace all
improvements as shown on plans, that have become defective if found to be so during
the term of said guarantee. Final determination will be made by the Owner's
Representative.
Should the Contractor fail to make such repairs as are deemed necessary, written notice
to make the repairs shall be given by the City to the Contractor and the Surety. If said
Contractor or Surety shall fail or neglect for a period of ten (10) days to make such
necessary repairs as herein provided, then the City shall have the right with or without
further notice, to proceed to make such repairs or cause the same to be done either by
contract or otherwise at its option and to pay for the cost of such repairs. Emergency
repairs to improvements may be required due to extreme weather, faulty materials, or
any other cause. When the public safety is jeopardized, the City of Denton may deem
the situation an emergency. At this time, the Contractor shall have 4 hours notification
bv telephone to complete the repairs or the City may complete the work itself.
If such cost of repairs so made shall not be paid by the said Contractor or Surety upon
receipt of Notice of the amount thereof, the said City shall have the right of action on
the Performance Bond; or in case the said repairs shall not actually be made by the
City after such failure on the part of the Contractor or Surety, the City shall have the
right to ascertain and determine the costs of such repairs and to maintain an action
against the said Contractor or Surety, or both under said bond, to recover the amount
Page 24 of 91
so determined in any court of competent jurisdiction, and the amount so determined
shall be conclusive upon the Contractor and Surety in any action upon said bond.
(2) Payment Bond. A good and sufficient bond in an amount equal to 100% of the total
Contract Sum, guaranteeing the full and prompt payment of all claimants supplying
labor or materials in the prosecution of the Work provided for in the Contract
Documents and any Amendments thereto, and for the use and protection of each
claimant.
(b) If the Contract Sum, including Owner-accepted alternates and allowances, if any, is
greater than $100,000, Performance in 100% of the Contract Sum are mandatory and
shall be provided by the Contractor. If the Contract Sum is greater than $50,000 but less
than or equal to $100,000, only a Payment Bond in 100% of the Contract amount is
mandatory; provided, however, that the Contractor may elect to furnish a Performance
Bond in the same amount if the Contractor so chooses. If the Contract Sum is less than or
equal to $25,000, the Contractor may elect not to provide Performance and Payment
Bonds; provided that in such event, no money will be paid to the Contractor until final
completion and acceptance of all work by Owner. If the Contractor elects to provide
Performance and Payment Bonds 100% of the total Contract Sum, progress payments in
accordance with these General Conditions shall be disbursed.
(c) No surety will be accepted by the Owner who is now in default or delinquent on any
bonds or who is a party to any litigation against the Owner. All bonds shall be made and
executed on the Owner's standard forms, shall be approved by the Owner, and shall be
executed by not less than one corporate surety that is authorized and admitted to do
business in the State of Texas, is licensed by the State of Texas to issue surety bonds, is
listed in the most current United States Department of the Treasury List of Acceptable
Sureties, and is otherwise acceptable to the Owner. Each bond shall be executed by the
Contractor and the surety, and shall specify that legal venue for enforcement of each
bond shall lie exclusively in Denton County, Texas. Each surety shall designate an agent
resident in Denton County, Texas to whom any requisite statutory notices may be
delivered and on whom service of process may be had in matters arising out of the
suretyship.
(c) The person or persons, partnership, company, firm, Limited Liability Company,
association, corporation, or other business entity to whom the Contract is awarded shall,
within ten (10) days after such award, sign the required Contract with the Owner and
provide the necessary surety bonds and evidence of insurance as required under the
Contract Documents. No Contract shall be binding on the Owner until it has been
approved as to form by the City Attorney, executed for the Owner by the City Manager,
the performance and payment bonds and evidence of insurance have been furnished as
required by the Contract Documents, and the fully executed contract has been delivered
to the Contractor.
(d) The failure of the Contractor to execute the Contract or deliver the required statutory
bonds and evidence of insurance within ten (10) days after the Contract is awarded or as
soon thereafter as the Owner can assemble and deliver the Contract shall constitute a
material breach of the Contractor's bid proposal and the Owner may rescind the Contract
Page 25 of 91
award and collect or retain the proceeds of the bid security. By reason of the uncertainty
of the market prices or materials and labor, and it being impracticable and difficult to
determine accurately the amount of damages occurring to the Owner by reason of the
Contractor's failure to execute and furnish the statutory bonds and to sign the Contract
within ten (10) days, the filing of a bid proposal with the accompanying bid security will
be considered as an acceptance of this sub-paragraph. In the event the Owner should re-
advertise for bids, the defaulting Contractor shall not be eligible to bid, and the lowest
responsible bid obtained in the re-advertisement shall be the bid referred to in this
Paragraph.
TIME ALLOTTED FOR COMPLETION
The number of days for this project to complete the project shall be noted in the exhibits or
provided by the respondent. The Contractor is permitted to work every weekday which is not a
Federal, State or Local holiday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm. Work requiring City inspection
oversight must be restricted to the hours between 8:00 am to 5:00 pm unless arrangements are
made with the City beforehand. The Contractor will not be allowed to work on Saturdays unless
prior arrangements are made with the City. The Contractor will not be allowed to prosecute the
work on Sundays without written permission by the City due to the noise ordinance. Exceptions
to the noise ordinance require approval by City Council and will require careful coordination and
planning between the Contractor and City.
A Work Order shall be submitted by the City to the Contractor prior to the beginning of
construction. The Work Order shall consist of a written request by the Owner's Representative
for the Contractor to proceed with the construction of the project. The Work Order shall specify
the starting and ending date of the project construction. The City may set the starting date of the
project construction at any date subsequent to the Work Order notification. The Work Order will
be issued upon receipt of the executed contract and surety bonds from the Contractor. The
Contractor will be required to execute the contract and furnish the surety bonds within 10
business days of receipt of the approved City Contract per NCTCOG Item 103.5.
Failure to complete the work within the allotted time shall make the Contractor liable for liquidated
damages at the daily rate specified per NCTCOG Item 108.8. The amount of liquidated damages
shall be for each calendar day over the original or extended project end date. The City reserves the
right to deduct monies due to the Contractor in the amount of the liquidated damages incurred on
the project as per terms of NCTCOG Item 108.8 at a minimum. Actual, documented damages
provided by the City which are greater than the minimum amounts shown shall govern. Assessment
of liquidated damages by the City shall not constitute a waiver of the City's right to sue and
collect additional damages which the City may sustain by the failure of the Contractor to perform
in accordance with the terms of its Contract.
The City will be the sole judge as to whether extensions of the Contract Time will be issued. The
Contractor must submit extensions for time in writing within fourteen (14) days of the alleged
delay per NCTCOG Item 108.8. Failure to do so will automatically render any claim for
extension null and void. Normal weather related delays (e.g. rain) will be considered sufficient
grounds for extension of time for projects defined by work days but not for projects defined by
calendar days.

boxes in the vicinity.
(b) The Owner reserves the right to remedy any neglect on the part of the Contractor in
regard to public convenience and safety which may come to the Owner's attention, after
twenty-four (24) hours notice in writing to the Contractor. In case of an emergency, the

be deducted from the Contract Sum. The Contractor shall notify the City Traffc
Control Department when any street is to be closed or obstructed. The notice shall, in
the case of major thoroughfares or street upon which transit lines operate, be forty-eight
(48) hours in advance. The Owner reserves the right to postpone or prohibit any closure
or obstruction of any streets or thoroughfares to the extent necessary for the safety and
benefit of the traveling public. The Contractor shall, when directed by the Engineer or
the Owner, keep any street or streets in condition for unobstructed use by City
departments. When the Contractor is required to construct temporary bridges or make
other arrangements for crossing over ditches or around structures, the Contractor's
Page 29 of 91
responsibility for accidents shall include the roadway approaches as well as the
crossing structures.
BARRICADES, LIGHTS, DETOUR ROUTES, AND SIGNS
The Contractor shall, at his own cost and expense, furnish and erect such barricades, fences,
flashers, signals, and signs, and shall provide such other precautionary measures for the
protection of persons and property as are necessary. Safety to the working forces and the general

a Hazardous Substance that have not been rendered harmless, and removal of such
materials is not a part of the scope of Work required under the Contract Documents,
the Contractor shall immediately stop Work in the affected area and report in writing
the facts of such encounter to the Engineer and the Owner. Work in the affected area
shall not thereafter be resumed except by written order of the Owner unless and until
the material is determined not to be a Hazardous Substance or the Hazardous

regulations, and pollution prevention policies and procedures. The SPRP shall include
estimates of the quantity and rate of flow should equipment fail, and detail
containment or diversionary structures to prevent spills from leaving the site or
migrating into adjacent properties or navigable waters. The SPRP shall include
methods of recovery of spilled materials and all applicable twenty-four (24) hour
emergency phone numbers, including without limitation that of the Owner's Project

Contractor's records for reference purposes, to be provided upon request of the
Engineer, the Owner, or any governmental regulatory agency with jurisdiction
over the matter. ALL COSTS OF COLLECTION, CONTAINMENT, AND

environmental discharge or release.
(e) Clean Air Management Plan. The Contractor shall comply with the Clean Air
Management Plan submitted to and approved by the Owner during the contractor

Safety and Health Standards for excavations must submit a notarized affidavit prior to award of
the bid showing the name of the Support System Inspector. The affidavit must include a
statement that the named individual is a competent person as defined in the OSHA regulations
related to excavations. In order to be a"competent person," one must have had specific training
in, and be knowledgeable about soil analysis, the use of protective systems, and the OSHA
regulations on excavations.
WATER FOR CONSTRUCTION
Water used for any uses including sprinkling, testing, and flushing of pipelines, or any other
purpose incidental to this project, will be the responsibility of the Contractor. The Contractor
may obtain the water from any source, including the City of Denton. In the event that the
Contractor obtains the water from the City, the Contractor shall make the necessary
arrangements for securing and transporting such water and shall take such water in such a
manner and at such times that will not produce a harmful drain or decrease of pressure in the
City's water system. The Contractor shall make arrangements with the City to provide the water
required and the Contractor shall pay for the water at the prevailing rate.
. . � •.�
The Contractor shall furnish control staking for all alignments, grades and elevations which the
Contractor may need to complete this project. The Contractor shall protect and maintain the
control staking. Any survey stakes or markers that are disturbed by the Contractor shall be
replaced by the Contractor immediately at the Contractor's expense. The Contractor shall
furnish suitable material, labor and expertise to erect and maintain adequate working stakes,
batter boards, or laser equipment for construction as the job progresses.
U. S. POSTAL MAILBOXES
The Contractor shall be fully responsible for maintaining and protecting all existing U.S. Postal
mailboxes during the construction period. Postal mail delivery must be maintained on a daily
basis to all postal delivery points within the project area. For projects that require a section of
road to be completely closed to traffic, the mailboxes shall be relocated to a nearby street corner
where they shall be placed for temporary delivery service. The Contractor shall relocate the
boxes working in cooperation with the Postal Director and the City. Following the completion of
the work, the Contractor shall restore all postal boxes to their previous locations or as close as is
possible.
Because of the legal significance of the postal delivery service, the Contractor shall consider this
responsibility as a first priority. Mailboxes shall be placed 42" above the ground and located
directly behind the back of the curb. Both measurements shall be the front lower face of the
mailbox.
Page 34 of 91
FOREMAN DESIGNATION REQUIREMENTS
The Contractor shall designate in writing a foreman for the project at the preconstruction
meeting. This foreman shall make every effort to cooperate with the City Inspector and shall not
be an equipment operator at any time unless authorized in writing by the City. Communications
and work methods shall be established early and maintained throughout the project at
satisfactory levels for both parties.
TERIAL SAMPLING AND TESTING
Unless otherwise stipulated in the contract documents, initial testing of all materials, construction
items or products incorporated in the work shall be performed at the direction of the Owner's
Representative and expense of the City, including initial compaction and density tests deemed
necessary.
In the event materials, construction items or products incorporated in the work fail to satisfy the
minimum requirements of the initial test, appropriate proveout test shall be made as directed by the
Owner's Representative to determine the extent of the failure and to verify that the corrective
measures have brought the item up to specification requirements. The cost of all testing necessary
to determine the extent of the failure and the adequacy of the corrective measures shall be the
responsibility of the Contractor.
The failure of the Owner's Representative to direct or City to make any tests of materials shall in no
way relieve the Contractor of his responsibility of furnishing materials conforming to the contract
documents.
Tests, unless otherwise specified, shall be made in accordance with the latest methods of the
American Society for Testing and Materials. The Contractor shall provide such facilities as the
Owner's Representative or City may require for collecting and forwarding samples and shall not
use the materials represented by the samples until tests have been made. The Contractor shall
furnish adequate samples without charge.
The inspections and tests made by the City shall ordinarily be made without cost to the Contractor
unless otherwise expressly specified in the contract documents. The Contractor shall furnish
without additional cost to the Owner's Representative or City such materials for testing as may be
reasonably necessary. Retesting after failure to pass tests shall be at the expense of the Contractor.
Should the percentage of rejected material or equipment be unreasonably large, the additional cost
of such inspection and tests resulting therefrom shall be borne by the Contractor. The Owner's
Representative shall judge what is considered extra inspection and shall determine the additional
cost incurred thereby and payable by the Contractor.
��"��IPE OF WORK �"�-�.�1��:";1:��
Changes in the scope of work for the project shall be handled in accordance with the provisions
of Item 104 of the NCTCOG specifications.
WORKING AREA
Page 35 of 91
The Contractor shall confine its equipment, storage of materials and construction operations to
the public right-of-way and easements shown on the plans or described in the specifications.
Storage of equipment and materials shall not restrict the public use of right-of-way or easements
unless specifically approved by the City. The Contractor shall not have exclusive right to the
working area, as it must accommodate other contractors or City forces which may utilize the
same area for other construction activities.
RESTORATIONmmOF PROPERTY
The Contractor is responsible for restoring public or private property damaged by its
construction activities to a condition as good as or better than the condition prior to construction.
This provision applies specifically, but not exclusively, to existing concrete or asphalt pavement,
concrete sidewalk, concrete curb and gutter, concrete drainage structures, utilities, fencing,
structures, and landscaping that are within the work zone but that are not required to be removed
in order to install the improvements called for on the plans. Cost for this restoration shall be
borne solely by the Contractor. Failure to restore the damaged property by the Contractor may be
cause for the City to restore the property on its own and then deduct the restoration cost from the
monies owed the Contractor per NCTCOG Item 107.26.
LETTERS OF RELEASE
A Letter of Release from each property owner affected by the project is required prior to
acceptance of any public improvement, particularly when the Contractor has performed work
outside of City right-of-way or public easements. The letter should state that the owner finds the
restoration of the property acceptable. The Contractor will be held responsible for restoring
disturbed property to a condition at least equal to the condition that existed prior to construction.
The Contractor will not be held responsible for repairing prior damage or for excessive or
unreasonable requests of the property owner. Whether a property owner's request is reasonable
or not will be determined by the Owner's Representative.
PARTIAL PAYMENTS/PmROGRESS PAYMENTS
Partial payments will be made within thirty (30) days of receipt of an undisputed invoice and
acceptance of work performed. Only complete and in place items will be paid for and no
payment will be made for materials on hand (disregard that line item on the invoice submittal
form). A five percent (5%) retainage will be held by the City, calculated using the total work
complete to date of the partial payment. Workday or calendar day counts for each month should
be agreed on before being submitted on the partial estimate. Counts will be considered final
when processed for payment.
(a) After the Owner's Representative has issued a Certificate for Payment, the Owner shall
make payment in the manner and within the time provided in the Contract Documents,
and shall so notify the Engineer, if applicable. The Owner shall not be liable for interest
on any late or delayed progress payment or final payment caused by any claim or dispute,
any discrepancy in quantities, any failure to provide supporting documentation or other
information required with the Application for Payment or as a precondition to payment
under the Contract Documents, or due to any payment the Owner or the Owner's
Representative has a right to withhold or not certify under the Contract Documents.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Owner may refuse to make payment on any
Page 36 of 91
Certificate for Payment (including, without limitation, the final Certifcate for Payment)
for any default under the Contract Documents, including but not limited to those defaults
set forth in these general provision and the NCTCOG specifications. The Owner shall not
be deemed in default by reason of withholding payment while any Contractor default
remains uncured.
(b) The Contractor shall promptly pay each Subcontractor, upon receipt of payment from the
Owner, out of the amount paid to the Contractor on account of each Subcontractor's
portion of the Work, the amount to which said Subcontractor is entitled, reflecting
percentages actually retained from payments to the Contractor on account of such
Subcontractors portion of the Work. The Contractor shall, by appropriate agreement with
each Subcontractor, require each Subcontractor to make payments to Sub-subcontractors
in similar manner.
(c) The Owner's Representative will, on request, furnish to a Subcontractor, if practicable,
information regarding percentages of completion or amounts applied for by the
Contractor and action taken thereon by the Engineer and the Owner on account of
portions of the Work done by such Subcontractor.
(d) Neitl�er the Owner nor the Owner's Representative shall have an obligation to pay or to
see to the payment of money to a Subcontractor except as may otherwise be required by
law. That obligation belongs to the Contractor or, in the event of the Contractor's failure
to pay a Subcontractor, to the Surety on the Payment Bond as required.
(e) Payment to material suppliers shall be treated in a manner similar to that provided in
Subparagraphs (b), (c), and (d), above.
(� A Certificate for Payment, a progress payment, or partial or entire use or occupancy of
the Project by the Owner shall not constitute acceptance of Work not performed in
accordance with the Contract Documents.

Representative's knowledge, information and belief, and on the basis of the Owner's
Representative's observations and inspections, the Work has been completed in
accordance with terms and conditions of the Contract Documents and that the entire
balance found to be due the Contractor and noted in said final Certifcate is due and
payable. The Owner's Representative final Certificate for Payment will constitute a
further representation that conditions listed in this section as a condition precedent to the
Contractor's being entitled to final payment have been fulfilled. Owner will normally
make final payment within thirty (30) days after Owner's receipt and approval of the final
Certificate for Payment. Warranties required by the Contract Documents shall commence
on the date of Substantial Completion of the Work, unless otherwise provided by separate
agreement between the Owner and the Contractor.
(b) Neither final payment nor any remaining retained percentage shall become due until the
Contractor submits to the Owner's Representative:
(1) an affidavit that payrolls, bills for materials and equipment, and other indebtedness
connected with the Work for which the Owner or the Owner's property might be
responsible or encumbered (less amounts withheld by Owner) have been paid or
otherwise satisfied;
(2) a certificate evidencing that insurance required by the Contract Documents to remain
in force after final payment is currently in effect and will not be cancelled or allowed
to expire until at least thirty (30) days prior written notice has been given to the
Owner;
(3) a written statement that the Contractor knows of no substantial reason that the
insurance will not be renewable to cover the period required by the Contract
Documents;
(4) a consent of surety to final payment; and

designated by the Owner.
(c) As a precondition to final payment by the Owner under this Contract, the Contractor's
affidavit under Clause (b)(1) shall state that the Contractor has paid each of his
subcontractors, laborers or materialmen in full for all labor and materials provided to him
for the Work under this Contract. In the event the Contractor has not paid each of his
subcontractors, laborers or materialmen in full, the Contractor shall state in the afiidavit
the amount owed and the name of each subcontractor, laborer or materialmen to whom
such payment is owed. IN ANY EVENT, THE CONTRACTOR SHALL BE
REQUIRED TO EXECUTE THE OWNER'S STANDARD AFFIDAVIT OF F1NAL
PAYMENT AND RELEASE AS A PRECONDITION TO RECEIPT OF F1NAL
PAYMENT.
(d) If, after Substantial Completion of the Work, final completion of the Work is materially
delayed through no fault of the Contractor or by issuance of Change Orders affecting
final completion and the Owner's Representative confirms the delay, the Owner shall,
Page 38 of 91
upon application by the Contractor and certification by the Owner's Representative, and
without terminating the Contract, make payment of the balance due for that portion of the
Work fully completed and accepted. If the remaining balance for Work not fully
completed or corrected is less than retainage stipulated in the Contract Documents, and if
bonds have been furnished, the written consent of surety to payment of the balance due
for that portion of the Work fully completed and accepted shall be submitted by the
Contractor to the Owner's Representative prior to certification of payment. Payment shall
be made under terms and conditions governing final payment, except that it shall not
constitute a waiver of claims.
(e) The acceptance by the Contractor of the fnal payment shall operate as and shall be a
complete release of the Owner from all claims or liabilities under the Contract, for
anything done or furnished or relating to the Work or the Project, or for any act or neglect
of the Owner relating to or connected with the Work or the Project.
DELAYS AND EXTENSIONS OF TIME
(a) If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by an act or neglect
of the Owner or Engineer, or of an employee of either, or of a separate contractor
employed by the Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or by labor disputes, fire,
unusual delay in deliveries, unavoidable casualties or other causes beyond the
Contractor's control, or by delay authorized by the Owner pending a claim, or by other
causes which the Engineer determines may justify delay, then the Contract Time shall be
extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as the Engineer and Owner may
determine.
(b) Claims relating to Contract Time and time extensions shall be made in accordance with
the applicable provisions these general provisions and NCTCOG specifications.
(c) No Damages for Delay. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISIONS OF THE
CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, INCLUDING THE GENERAL CONDITIONS, NO
ADJUSTMENT SHALL BE MADE TO THE CONTRACT SUM AND THE

ADDITIONAL COMPENSATION AS A RESULT OF OR ARISING OUT OF ANY
DELAY, HINDRANCE, DISRUPTION, FORCE MAJEURE, IMPACT, OR
INTERFERENCE, INTENTIONAL OR UNINTENTIONAL, FORESEEN OR
UNFORESEEN, WHICH INCREASES THE TIME TO COMPLETE THE WORK,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY DELAYS CAUSED IN WHOLE OR IN
PART BY THE ACTS, OMISSIONS, FAILURES, NEGLIGENCE, OR FAULT OF
THE OWNER, THE ENGINEER, OR THE OWNER'S REPRESENTATIVE, AN
EXTENSION OF THE CONTRACT TIME UNDER THE CONTRACT PROVISIONS
BEING THE CONTRACTOR' S SOLE REMEDY.
(d) The Owner shall have the right to occupy, without prejudice to the right of either party,
any completed or largely completed portions of the structure or Work, notwithstanding
the fact that the Contract Time for completing all or a portion of the Work may not have
expired. Partial occupancy and use shall not be deemed as an acceptance of the Work
taken or used.
Page 39 of 91
(e) The Contractor shall promptly suspend the Work when either the Contractor or the
Owner is ordered to do so by a court order from a court having lawful jurisdiction, and
the Contractor will not be entitled to additional compensation by virtue of any delays
resulting from the court order. The Contractor will also not be liable to the Owner for a
delay caused in fact by the Work being suspended by a court order.
(� The Owner's Representative, with the consent of the Owner, shall have the authority to
suspend the Work, in whole or in part, for such period or periods as the Owner's
Representative deems necessary due to unusual or severe weather conditions as are
considered unfavorable for the suitable prosecution of the Work, or due to failure on the
part of the Contractor to correct conditions considered unsafe for workmen or the general
public. If it should become necessary to stop the Work for an indefinite period, the
Contractor shall store all materials in such a manner that they will not obstruct or impede
the public unnecessarily or become damaged in any way, and shall take every precaution
to prevent damage or deterioration of the Work performed. In cases of suspension of the
Work under this Subparagraph, the Contractor shall also provide suitable drainage about
the Work and erect temporary structures where necessary. The Contractor shall not
suspend the Work in whole or in part without written authority from the Owner's
Representative or the Owner, and shall resume the Work promptly when notified by the
Owner's Representative or the Owner to resume operations.
(g) In the event of a delay that is the responsibility of the Contractor or any of the
Subcontractors, for which the Contractor is not entitled to a time extension under the
provisions of this Contract, the Owner may direct that the Work be accelerated by means
of overtime, additional crews or additional shifts, or resequencing. This acceleration shall
be at no cost to the Owner and will continue until the Contract Time is restored. In the
event of a delay for which the Contractor is entitled to a time extension, as determined by
the Owner's Representative, Owner may similarly direct acceleration and the Contractor
agrees to perform same on the basis that the Contractor will be reimbursed only to the
extent described in these general provisions and the NCTCOG specifications. THE
CONTRACTOR EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY OTHER COMPENSATION
RESULTING FROM ACCELERATION, SUCH AS LOSS OF LABOR
PRODUCTIVITY OR EFFICIENCY.
TERMINATION BY THE OWNER.,FORwCAUSE
(a) Notwithstanding any other provision of these General Conditions, the Work or any
portion of the Work may be terminated immediately by the Owner for any good cause
after giving seven (7) days advance written notice and opportunity to cure to the
Contractor, including but not limited to the following causes:
(1) Failure or refusal of the Contractor to start the Work within ten (10) days after the
date of written notice by the Owner to commence the Work.
(2) A reasonable belief that the progress of the Work being made by the Contractor is
insufficient to complete the Work within the specified time.
Page 40 of 91
(3) Failure or refusal of the Contractor to provide sufficient and proper equipment or
construction forces to properly execute the Work in a timely manner.
(4) A reasonable belief that the Contractor has abandoned the Work.
(5) A reasonable belief that the Contractor has become insolvent, bankrupt, or
otherwise fnancially unable to carry on the Work.
(6) Failure or refusal on the part of the Contractor to observe any requirements of the
Contract Documents or to comply with any written orders given by the Engineer or
the Owner as provided for in the Contract Documents�
(7) Failure or refusal of the Contractor to promptly make good any defects in materials
or workmanship, or any defects of any nature, the correction of which has been
directed in writing by the Owner's Representative.
(8) A reasonable belief by the Owner that collusion exists or has occurred for the
purpose of illegally procuring the Contract or a Subcontractor, or that a fraud is
being perpetrated on the Owner in connection with the construction of Work under
the Contract.
(9) Repeated and flagrant violation of safe working procedures.
(10) The filing by the Contractor of litigation against the Owner prior to completion of
the Work.
(b) When the Work or any portion of the Work is terminated for any of the causes
itemized above or for any other cause except termination for convenience pursuant to
these provisions, the Contractor shall, as of the date specified by the Owner,
discontinue the Work or portion of the Work as the Owner shall designate, whereupon
the surety shall, within fifteen (15) days after the written notice of termination for
cause has been served upon the Contractor and the surety or its authorized agents,
assume the obligations of the Contractor for the Work or that portion of the Work
which the Owner has ordered the Contractor to discontinue and may:
(1) perform the Work with forces employed by the surety;
(2) with the written consent of the Owner, tender a replacement contractor to take over
and perform the Work, in which event the surety shall be responsible for and pay
the amount of any costs required to be incurred for the completion of the Work that
are in excess of the amount of funds remaining under the Contract as of the time of
the termination; or
(3) with the written consent of the Owner, tender and pay to the Owner in settlement
the amount of money necessary to finish the balance of uncompleted Work under
the Contract, correct existing defective or nonconforming Work, and compensate

Page 41 of 91
In the event of termination for cause involving Clause (b)(1) or (b)(2), the Surety
shall assume the Contractor's place in all respects, and the amount of funds
remaining unpaid under the Contract shall be paid by the Owner for all Work
performed by the surety or the replacement contractor in accordance with the terms
of the Contract Documents, subject to any rights of the Owner to deduct any costs,
damages, or liquidated or actual damages that the Owner may have incurred,
including but not limited to additional fees and expenses of the Engineer and
attorneys fees, as a result of such termination.
(c) The balance of the Contract Sum remaining at the time of the Contractor's default and
of the termination shall become due and payable to the surety as the Work progresses,
subject to all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of the Contract Documents. If the
surety does not, within the time specified in this provisions, exercise its obligation to
assume the obligations of the Contract, or that portion of the Contract which the
Owner has ordered the Contractor to discontinue, then the Owner shall have the power
to complete the Work by contract or otherwise, as it may deem necessary. The
Contractor agrees that the Owner shall have the right to take possession of or use any
or all of the materials, plant, tools, equipment, supplies, and property of every kind
provided by the Contractor for the purpose of the Work, and to procure other tools,
equipment, labor, and materials for the completion of the Work, and to charge to the
account of the Contractor the expenses of completion and labor, materials, tools,
equipment, and incidental expenses. The expenses incurred by the Owner to complete
the Work shall be deducted by the Owner out of the balance of the Contract Sum
remaining unpaid to or unearned by the Contractor. The Contractor and the surety
shall be liable to the Owner for any costs incurred in excess of the balance of the
Contract Sum for the completion and correction of the Work, and for any other costs,
damages, expenses (including but not limited to additional fees of the Engineer and
attorney's fees), and liquidated or actual damages incurred as a result of the
termination.
(d) The Owner shall not be required to obtain the lowest bid for the Work of completing
the Contract as described in these provisions, but the expenses to be deducted from the
Contract Sum shall be the actual cost of such Work. In case the Owner's expense is
less than the sum which would have been payable under the Contract, if the same had
been completed by the Contractor, then the Owner may pay to the Contractor (or the
Surety, in the event of a complete termination for cause) the difference in the cost,
provided that the Contractor (or the Surety) shall not be entitled to any claim for
damages or for loss of anticipated profits. In case such expenses for completion shall
exceed the amount which would have been payable under the Contract if the same had
been completed by the Contractor, then the Contractor and his Sureties shall pay the
amount of the excess to the Owner on notice from the Owner for excess due. When
only a particular part of the Work is being carried on by the Owner by contract or
otherwise under the provisions of this Subparagraph, the Contractor shall continue the
remainder of the Work in conformity with the terms of the Contract, and in such
manner as not to hinder or interfere with the performance of workmen employed and
provided by the Owner.
Page 42 of 91
(e) The right to terminate this Contract for the convenience of the Owner (including but
not limited to nonappropriation of funding) is expressly retained by the Owner. In the
event of termination for convenience, the Owner shall deliver at least ten (10) days
advance written notice of termination for convenience to the Contractor. Upon the
Contractor's receipt of such written notice, the Contractor shall cease the performance
of the Work and shall take reasonable and appropriate action to secure and protect the
Work in place. The Contractor shall then be reimbursed by the Owner in accordance
with the terms and provisions of the Contract Documents, not to exceed actual labor
costs incurred, materials stored at the Project site or away from the Project site as
approved by the Owner but not yet paid for, plus actual, reasonable, and documented
termination charges, if any, paid by the Contractor in connection with the Work in
place which is completed and in conformance with the Contract Documents to the date
of termination for convenience. No amount shall ever be due to the Contractor for lost
or anticipated profits.
TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF THE WORK
(a) The Work or any portion of the Work may be temporarily suspended by the Owner
immediately upon written notice to the Contractor for any reason, including but not
limited to:
(1) the causes described in Termination for Cause Clauses (a)(1) through (a)(10)
above;
(2) where other provisions in the Contract Documents require or permit temporary
suspension of the Work;
(3) situations where the Work is threatened by, contributes to, or causes an immediate
threat to public health, safety, or security; or
(4) other unforeseen conditions or circumstances.
(b) The Contractor shall immediately resume the temporarily suspended Work when
ordered in writing by the Owner to do so. The Owner shall not under any
circumstances be liable for any claim of the Contractor arising from a temporary
suspension due to a cause described in Clause (a)(1) above; provided, however, that in
the case of a temporary suspension for any of the reasons described under Clauses
(a)(2) through (a)(4), where the Contractor is not a contributing cause of the
suspension under one of those Clauses or where the provision of the Contract
Documents in question specifically provides that the suspension is at no cost to the
Owner, the Owner will make an equitable adjustment for the following items,
provided that a claim is properly made by the Contractor under these General
Conditions:
(1) an equitable extension of the Contract Time, not to exceed the actual delay caused
by the temporary suspension as determined by the Engineer and the Owner;
Page 43 of 91
(2) an equitable adjustment to the Contract Sum for the actual, necessary, and
reasonable costs of properly protecting any Work that is finished or partially
finished during the period of the temporary suspension (no profit and overhead
shall be allowed on top of these costs); and
(3) if it becomes necessary to move equipment from the Project site and then return it
to the Project site when the Work is ordered to be resumed, an equitable
adjustment to the Contract Sum for the actual, necessary, and reasonable cost of
these moves; provided, however, that no adjustment shall be due if the equipment
is moved to another Project site of the Owner.
WARRANTY FULFILLMENT
Prior to the expiration of the specified warranty period provided for in the Contract
Documents, the Owner's Representative will make a detailed inspection of the Work and
will advise the Contractor and the Contractor's Surety of the items that require correction.
The Owner's Representative will make a subsequent inspection and if the corrections have
been properly performed, the Owner's Representative will issue a letter of release on the
maintenance stipulations to the Contractor and the Surety. If for any reason the Contractor
has not made the required corrections before the expiration of the warranty period, the
warranty provisions as provided for in the Contract Documents shall remain in effect until
the corrections have been properly performed and a letter of release issued.

The following are the standard surveying requirements for public improvements with the City of
Denton.
Street Impravements
1. Street grades and alignment at 50' stations - both sides - or at 25' stations in all vertical curves
or horizontal curves.
2. Grades and alignment at all curb returns for intersections, alleys, and other curb breaks as
instructed by City Inspector.
3. Grades and alignment stakes for streets shall be separated enough from utility stakes that the
Inspector can easily follow all staking.
4. Maximum offsets shall be 10 feet. Methods of transferring grades from long offsets (4' - 10')
shall be approved by Inspector.
5. Valley gutter grades shall follow the flow line of the curb on each side and shall be
constructed with the aid of a string line unless problems develop requiring stakes.
6. All changes to the plans deemed major by the Inspector shall be restaked by the project
surveyor.
Sewer Lines
1. Grade and alignment stakes shall be provided at 50' intervals.
2. Manholes, cleanouts, bends, and any other appurtenance shall be staked before construction
begins in that area.
3. Services shall be staked or centerline of the lot staked for the service to be placed 5'
downstream from the centerline. Existing property pins shall not be used as construction
stakes.
4. Staking requirements for changes to the plans and offset limits shall be the same as for streets
and water lines.
5. Sewer grades shall be distinctly separated from street grades on any stakes so each
improvement can be easily built with no confusion.
:�. �.
1. Alignment stakes shall be provided at 50' intervals. Grade stakes shall be provided at each
grade change shown on the plans and at 50' intervals where grades are critical.
2. All service lines shall be staked or the centerline of the lot staked if services are to be located
5' upstream of the centerline. These stakes shall be put up specifically for the services.
Property pin stakes left over from preliminary staking are not to be used as construction
stakes.
3. Valves, bends, fire hydrants, tees, and all other appurtenances to the line shall be staked
before construction in that area proceeds. Offsets for alignment are critical, especially for the
fire hydrants to keep them 2' behind the back of the curb. The Surveyor shall consult with
Page 46 of 91
the Inspector before work begins to establish the appurtenances that do need exact stakes.
4. Any changes to the plans deemed major by the Inspector shall be restaked by the Surveyor.
Offset requirements shall be the same as for streets.
Conflicts Over Surveying Rec�uirements
The Contractor is responsible for construction staking unless otherwise noted in the Special
Contract Requirements. Communications regarding surveying after the preconstruction meeting
should be between the City Inspector and the Contractor's Surveyor. Direct communication
reduces the chances of misunderstandings in the process of the work.
Any questions over City requirements regarding surveying standards shall be discussed at the
preconstruction meeting or with the Owner's Representative prior to that meeting. Unless a
signed letter is placed in the construction file, the requirements as listed in this section shall be
considered applicable.
Cut Sheet Requirements
Cut sheets shall be provided to the Contractor and to the City Inspector. These sheets shall
contain all needed grades based on top of curb elevations or existing surface elevations for
streets, drainage, water and sewer improvements. Each special item such as service lines,
manholes, fire hydrants, valves, cleanouts, junction boxes, and any other items as required by the
Inspector shall have a cut from top of curb grades of the street in that area or existing surface
elevations.
Should a conflict arise between the PO, RFP document, supplier terms, or contract; the terms
and conditions set forth in the RFP document and �nal contract shall prevail.

As stated in the General Provisions, the October 2004 edition of the North Central Texas Council
of Governments Standard Specifications for Public Works Constructio„n will be utilized as a
basis for both general and technical procedures to include types of materials and construction
procedures used in construction projects in the City of Denton. The following specifications and
definitions are intended to (1) highlight requirements in the NCTCOG found on most projects in
the City of Denton, (2) make specific requirements for materials or procedures where the
NCTCOG gives options, (3) specify provisions for deviation from the NCTCOG, and (4) define
the bid items listed in the Exhibit I— Pricing Spreadsheet. The following specifications are also
numbered in accordance with the NCTCOG to aid in locating more specific requirements.
Conflicts sometimes arise when City of Denton provisions conflict with either the plans for the
project or the North Central Texas Council of Governments Specifications. The following order
of precedence shall generally be followed in case of conflicts; however, the Owner's
Representative shall make the final determination:
