Florida Statutes, effective July 1, 1989. Section 287.132(3)(d), Florida Statutes, requires the
Florida Department of General Services to maintain and make available to other political entities
a "convicted vendor" list consisting of persons and affiliates who are disqualified from public
and purchasing process because they have been found guilty of a public entity crime. A public
entity crime is described by Section 287.133, Florida Statutes, as a violation of any State or
Federal law by a person with respect to and directly related to the transaction of business with
any public entity in Florida or with an agency or political subdivision of any other state or with
• the United States, including, but not limited to, any bid or Agreement for goods or services to be

•
By law no public entity shall accept any bid from, award any Agreement to, or transact
any business in excess of the threshold amount provided in Section 287.017, Florida Statutes, for
category two (currently $10,000) with any person or affiliate on the convicted vendor list for a
period of 36 months from the date that person or affiliate was placed on the convicted vendor list
unless that person or affiliate has been removed from the list pursuant to Section 287.133(3)(f),
Florida Statutes.
Therefore, effective October 1, 1990, prior to entering into an Agreement (formal
Agreement or purchase order) in excess of the threshold amount of $10,000 to provide goods or
services to THE CITY OF SEBASTIAN, a person shall file a sworn statement with the
Contract/Agreement officer or Purchasing Director, as applicable. The attached statement or
affidavit will be the form to be utilized and must be properly signed in the presence of a notary
public or other officer authorized to administer oaths and properly executed.

amount of work to be done by the Contractor, compensation for said additional work shall be made under
the Paragraph 10.7 CHANGES IN THE WORK below, except where the additional work may be classed
under some item of work for which a unit price is included in the proposal.
The fact that specific mention of any part of work is omitted in the Specifications, whether intentionally
or otherwise, when the same is clearly shown or indicated on the Plans, or is usually and customarily
required to complete fully such work as is specified herein, will not entitle the Contractor to consideration
in the matter of any claim for extra compensation, but the said work must be installed or done the same as
if called for by both the Plans and Specifications.

Contractor shall immediately give written notice to the City of the cause of such delay.
"Rain day" extensions shall be granted upon written request of the Contractor to the City's Project

Contract Documents, whether observed before or after completion of the Work and whether or not
fabricated, installed or completed, and shall correct any Work found to be not in accordance with the
requirements of the Contract Documents within a period of one (1) year from the date of completion of
the Work or by the terms of an applicable special warranty required by the Contract Documents. The
provisions of this Paragraph apply to the Work done by Subcontractors as well as to the Work done by
direct employees of Contractor.
Nothing contained in this Paragraph shall be construed to establish a period of limitation with respect to
other obligations which Contractor might have under the Contract Documents. Establishment of the time
period of one (1) year as described in Subparagraph 7.11(a) above relates only to the specific obligation
of Contractor to correct the Work, and has no effect on the time within which the obligations of the
Contract Documents may be enforced, nor to the time within which proceedings may be commenced to
establish Contractor's liability with respect to Contractor's remaining contractual obligations.

and the subsequent issuance of a notice by the City indicating substantial completion will be the date used
to signify work completion. If completion is beyond the schedule agreed upon, liquidated damages may
be imposed by the City on the Contractor and will be withheld from payment.
It is expressly acknowledged by Contractor that said payment shall not be interpreted nor construed as a

intended in an acceptable manner. Unless otherwise specified herein, the Engineer shall be and is hereby
authorized to make such alterations in the work as may increase or decrease the originally awarded
contract quantities, provided that the aggregate of such alterations does not change the total contract cost
or the total cost of any major contract item by more than 25 percent (total cost being based on the unit
prices and estimated quantities in the awarded contract). Alterations which do not exceed the 25 percent
limitation shall not invalidate the contract nor release the surety, and the Contractor agrees to accept
payment for such alterations as if the altered work had been a part of the original contract. These
alterations that are for work within the general scope of the contract shall be covered by "Change Orders"
issued by the Engineer. Change orders for altered work shall include extensions of contract time where,
in the Engineer's opinion, such extensions are commensurate with the amount and difficulty of added
work.
Should the aggregate amount of altered work exceed the 25 percent limitation hereinbefore specified,
such excess altered work shall be covered by supplemental agreement. If the owner and the Contractor
are unable to agree on a unit adjustment for any contract item that requires a supplemental agreement, the
owner reserves the right to terminate the contract with respect to the item and make other arrangements
for its completion.
40-03 OMITTED ITEMS. The Engineer may, in the Owner's best interest, omit from the work any
contract item, except major contract items. Major contract items may be omitted by a supplemental
agreement. Such omission of contract items shall not invalidate any other contract provision or

CONTROL OF WORK
50-01 AUTHORITY OF THE ENGINEER. The Engineer shall decide any and all questions which
may arise as to the quality and acceptability of materials furnished, work performed, and as to the manner
of performance and rate of progress of the work. The Engineer shall decide all questions which may arise
as to the interpretation of the specifications or plans relating to the work. The Engineer shall determine
the amount and quality of the several kinds of work performed and materials furnished which are to be
paid for under the contract.

reasonably close conformity with the plans and specifications but that the portion of the work affected
will, in his/her opinion, result in a finished product having a level of safety, economy, durability, and
workmanship acceptable to the Owner, he will advise the Owner of his/her determination that the affected
work be accepted and remain in place. In this event, the Engineer will document his/her determination
and recommend to the Owner a basis of acceptance that will provide for an adjustment in the contract
price for the affected portion of the work. The Engineer's determination and recommended contract price
adjustments will be based on good engineering judgment and such tests or retests of the affected work as
are, in his/her opinion, needed. Changes in the contract price shall be covered by contract modifications
(change order or supplemental agreement) as applicable.
If the Engineer finds the materials furnished, work performed, or the finished product are not in
reasonably close conformity with the plans and specifications and have resulted in an unacceptable
finished product, the affected work or materials shall be removed and replaced or otherwise corrected by
and at the expense of the Contractor in accordance with the Engineer's written orders.
For the purpose of this subsection, the term "reasonably close conformity" shall not be construed as
waiving the Contractor's responsibility to complete the work in accordance with the contract, plans, and
specifications. The term shall not be construed as waiving the Engineer's responsibility to insist on strict
compliance with the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications during the Contractor's
prosecution of the work, when, in the Engineer's opinion, such compliance is essential to provide an
acceptable finished portion of the work.
For the purpose of this subsection, the term "reasonably close conformity" is also intended to provide the
Engineer with the authority, after consultation with the FAA, to use good engineering judgment in his/her
determinations as to acceptance of work that is not in strict conformity but will provide a finished product
equal to or better than that intended by the requirements of the contract, plans and specifications.
The Engineer will not be responsible for the Contractor's means, methods, techniques, sequences, or
procedures of construction or the safety precautions incident thereto.

the work as provided in the subsection titled MAINTENANCE DURING CONSTRUCTION of this
section, the Engineer shall immediately notify the Contractor of such noncompliance. Such notification
shall specify a reasonable time within which the Contractor shall be required to remedy such
unsatisfactory maintenance condition. The time specified will give due consideration to the exigency that
exists.
Should the Contractor fail to respond to the Engineer's notification, the Engineer may suspend any work
necessary for the Owner to correct such unsatisfactory maintenance condition, depending on the exigency
that exists. Any maintenance cost incurred by the Owner, shall be deducted from monies due or to
become due the Contractor.

50-14 PARTIAL ACCEPTANCE. If at any time during the prosecution of the project the Contractor
substantially completes a usable unit or portion of the work, the occupancy of which will benefit the
Owner, he may request the Engineer to make final inspection of that unit. If the Engineer finds upon
inspection that the unit has been satisfactorily completed in compliance with the contract, he may accept
it as being completed, and the Contractor may be relieved of further responsibility for that unit. Such
partial acceptance and beneficial occupancy by the Owner shall not void or alter any provision of the
contract.
50-15 FINAL ACCEPTANCE. Upon due notice from the Contractor of presumptive completion of
the entire project, the Engineer and Owner will make an inspection. If all construction provided for and
contemplated by the contract is found to be completed in accordance with the contract, plans, and
specifications, such inspection shall constitute the final inspection. The Engineer shall notify the
Contractor in writing of final acceptance as of the date of the final inspection.
If, however, the inspection discloses any work, in whole or in part, as being unsatisfactory, the Engineer
will give the Contractor the necessary instructions for correction of same and the Contractor shall
immediately comply with and execute such instructions. Upon correction of the work, another inspection
will be made which shall constitute the final inspection, provided the work has been satisfactorily
completed. In such event, the Engineer will make the final acceptance and notify the Contractor in
writing of this acceptance as of the date of final inspection.
50-16 CLAIMS FOR ADJUSTMENT AND DISPUTES. If for any reason the Contractor deems that
additional compensation is due him for work or materials not clearly provided for in the contract, plans,
or specifications or previously authorized as extra work, he shall notify the Engineer in writing of his/her
intention to claim such additional compensation before he begins the work on which he bases the claim.
If such notification is not given or the Engineer is not afforded proper opportunity by the Contractor for
keeping strict account of actual cost as required, then the Contractor hereby agrees to waive any claim for
such additional compensation. Such notice by the Contractor and the fact that the Engineer has kept
account of the cost of the work shall not in any way be construed as proving or substantiating the validity
of the claim. When the work on which the claim for additional compensation is based has been
completed, the Contractor shall, within 10 calendar days, submit his/her written claim to the Engineer
who will present it to the Owner for consideration in accordance with local laws or ordinances.
Nothing in this subsection shall be construed as a waiver of the Contractor's right to dispute final payment
based on differences in measurements or computations.

and representatives of the Owner.
70-18 NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS. Upon completion of the work, the Owner will
expeditiously make final inspection and notify the Contractor of final acceptance. Such final acceptance,
however, shall not preclude or stop the Owner from correcting any measurement, estimate, or certificate
made before or after completion of the work, nor shall the Owner be precluded or stopped from
recovering from the Contractor or his/her surety, or both, such overpayment as may be sustained, or by
failure on the part of the Contractor to fulfill his/her obligations under the contract. A waiver on the part
of the Owner of any breach of any part of the contract shall not be held to be a waiver of any other or
subsequent breach.
• The Contractor, without prejudice to the terms of the contract, shall be liable to the Owner for latent
defects, fraud, or such gross mistakes as may amount to fraud, or as regards the owner's rights under any
warranty or guaranty.

Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 32 of 83
When the contract work requires the Contractor to work within an AIR OPERATIONS AREA (AOA) of
the airport on an intermittent basis (intermittent opening and closing of the AIR OPERATIONS AREA),
the Contractor shall maintain constant communications as hereinafter specified; immediately obey all
instructions to vacate the AIR OPERATIONS AREA; immediately obey all instructions to resume work
in such AIR OPERATIONS AREA. Failure to maintain the specified communications or to obey
instructions shall be cause for suspension of the Contractor's operations in the AIR OPERATIONS AREA
until the satisfactory conditions are provided.
Contractor shall be required to conform to safety standards contained in AC 150/5370-2, Operational
Safety on Airports During Construction (See Special Provisions).
80-04.1 OPERATIONAL SAFETY ON AIRPORT DURING CONSTRUCTION. All Contractors'
operations shall be conducted in accordance with the project safety plan and the provisions set forth
within the current version of Advisory Circular 150/5370-2. The safety plan included within the contract
documents conveys minimum requirements for operational safety on the airport during construction

The Contractor is responsible to the Owner for the conduct of all subcontractors it employs on the project.
• The Contractor shall assure that all subcontractors are made aware of the requirements of the safety plan
and that they implement and maintain all necessary measures.
No deviation or modifications may be made to the approved safety plan unless approved in writing by the
Owner or Engineer.
80-05 CHARACTER OF WORKERS, METHODS, AND EQUIPMENT. The Contractor shall, at
all times, employ sufficient labor and equipment for prosecuting the work to full completion in the
manner and time required by the contract, plans, and specifications.
All workers shall have sufficient skill and experience to perform properly the work assigned to them.
Workers engaged in special work or skilled work shall have sufficient experience in such work and in the
operation of the equipment required to perform the work satisfactorily.
Any person employed by the Contractor or by any subcontractor who violates any operational regulations
and, in the opinion of the Engineer, does not perform his work in a proper and skillful manner or is
intemperate or disorderly shall, at the written request of the Engineer, be removed forthwith by the
Contractor or subcontractor employing such person, and shall not be employed again in any portion of the
work without approval of the Engineer.
Should the Contractor fail to remove such persons or person, or fail to furnish suitable and sufficient
personnel for the proper prosecution of the work, the Engineer may suspend the work by written notice
until compliance with such orders.
All equipment that is proposed to be used on the work shall be of sufficient size and in such mechanical
• condition as to meet requirements of the work and to produce a satisfactory quality of work. Equipment
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 33 of 83
used on any portion of the work shall be such that no injury to previously completed work, adjacent
property, or existing airport facilities will result from its use.
When the methods and equipment to be used by the Contractor in accomplishing the work are not
prescribed in the contract, the Contractor is free to use any methods or equipment that will accomplish the
work in conformity with the requirements of the contract, plans, and specifications.
When the contract specifies the use of certain methods and equipment, such methods and equipment shall
be used unless others are authorized by the Engineer. If the Contractor desires to use a method or type of
equipment other than specified in the contract, he may request authority from the Engineer to do so. The
request shall be in writing and shall include a full description of the methods and equipment proposed and
of the reasons for desiring to make the change. If approval is given, it will be on the condition that the
Contractor will be fully responsible for producing work in conformity with contract requirements. If,
after trial use of the substituted methods or equipment, the Engineer determines that the work produced
does not meet contract requirements, the Contractor shall discontinue the use of the substitute method or
equipment and shall complete the remaining work with the specified methods and equipment. The
Contractor shall remove any deficient work and replace it with work of specified quality, or take such
other corrective action as the Engineer may direct. No change will be made in basis of payment for the
contract items involved nor in contract time as a result of authorizing a change in methods or equipment
under this subsection.
80-06 TEMPORARY SUSPENSION OF THE WORK. The Owner shall have the authority to
suspend the work wholly, or in part, for such period or periods as he may deem necessary, due to
unsuitable weather, or such other conditions as are considered unfavorable for the prosecution of the
. work, or for such time as is necessary due to the failure on the part of the Contractor to carry out orders
given or perform any or all provisions of the contract.
In the event that the Contractor is ordered by the Owner, in writing, to suspend work for some unforeseen
cause not otherwise provided for in the contract and over which the Contractor has no control, the
Contractor may be reimbursed for actual money expended on the work during the period of shutdown.
No allowance will be made for anticipated profits. The period of shutdown shall be computed from the
effective date of the Engineer's order to suspend work to the effective date of the Engineer's order to
resume the work. Claims for such compensation shall be filed with the Engineer within the time period
stated in the Engineer's order to resume work. The Contractor shall submit with his/her claim information
substantiating the amount shown on the claim. The Engineer will forward the Contractor's claim to the
Owner for consideration in accordance with local laws or ordinances. No provision of this article shall be
construed as entitling the Contractor to compensation for delays due to inclement weather, for
suspensions made at the request of the Owner, or for any other delay provided for in the contract, plans,
or specifications.
If it should become necessary to suspend work for an indefinite period, the Contractor shall store all
materials in such manner that they will not become an obstruction nor become damaged in any way. He
shall take every precaution to prevent damage or deterioration of the work performed and provide for
normal drainage of the work. The Contractor shall erect temporary structures where necessary to provide
for traffic on, to, or from the airport.
80-07 DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF CONTRACT TIME. The number of calendar
or working days allowed for completion of the work shall be stated in the proposal and contract and shall
be known as the CONTRACT TIME.
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 34 of 83
Should the contract time require extension for reasons beyond the Contractor's control, it shall be adjusted
as follows:
a. CONTRACT TIME based on WORKING DAYS shall be calculated weekly by the Engineer.
The Engineer will furnish the Contractor a copy of his/her weekly statement of the number of working
days charged against the contract time during the week and the number of working days currently
specified for completion of the contract (the original contract time plus the number of working days, if
any, that have been included in approved CHANGE ORDERS or SUPPLEMENTAL AGREEMENTS
covering EXTRA WORK).
The Engineer shall base his/her weekly statement of contract time charged on the following
considerations:
(1) No time shall be charged for days on which the Contractor is unable to proceed with the
principal item of work under construction at the time for at least 6 hours with the normal work force
employed on such principal item. Should the normal work force be on a double -shift, 12 hours shall be
used. Should the normal work force be on a triple -shift, 18 hours shall apply. Conditions beyond the
Contractor's control such as strikes, lockouts, unusual delays in transportation, temporary suspension of
the principal item of work under construction or temporary suspension of the entire work which have
been ordered by the Owner for reasons not the fault of the Contractor, shall not be charged against the
contract time.
(2) The Engineer will not make charges against the contract time prior to the effective date of the
notice to proceed.
(3) The Engineer will begin charges against the contract time on the first working day after the
effective date of the notice to proceed.
(4) The Engineer will not make charges against the contract time after the date of final acceptance
as defined in the subsection titled FINAL ACCEPTANCE of Section 50.
(5) The Contractor will be allowed I week in which to file a written protest setting forth his/her
objections to the Engineer's weekly statement. If no objection is filed within such specified time, the
weekly statement shall be considered as acceptable to the Contractor.
The contract time (stated in the proposal) is based on the originally estimated quantities as described in
the subsection titled INTERPRETATION OF ESTIMATED PROPOSAL QUANTITIES of Section 20.
Should the satisfactory completion of the contract require performance of work in greater quantities than
those estimated in the proposal, the contract time shall be increased in the same proportion as the cost of
the actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the originally estimated quantities in the proposal.
Such increase in contract time shall not consider either the cost of work or the extension of contract time
that has been covered by change order or supplemental agreement and shall be made at the time of final
payment.
b. CONTRACT TIME based on CALENDAR DAYS shall consist of the number of calendar
days stated in the contract counting from the effective date of the notice to proceed and including all
Saturdays, Sundays, holidays, and nonwork days. All calendar days elapsing between the effective dates
of the Owner's orders to suspend and resume all work, due to causes not the fault of the Contractor, shall
be excluded.
At the time of final payment, the contract time shall be increased in the same proportion as the cost of the
actually completed quantities bears to the cost of the originally estimated quantities in the proposal. Such
increase in the contract time shall not consider either cost of work or the extension of contract time that
has been covered by a change order or supplemental agreement. Charges against the contract time will
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 35 of 83
cease as of the date of final acceptance.
c. When the contract time is a specified completion date, it shall be the date on which all contract
work shall be substantially completed.
If the Contractor finds it impossible for reasons beyond his/her control to complete the work within the
contract time as specified, or as extended in accordance with the provisions of this subsection, he may, at
any time prior to the expiration of the contract time as extended, make a written request to the Engineer
for an extension of time setting forth the reasons which he believes will justify the granting of his/her
request. Requests for extension of time on calendar day projects, caused by inclement weather, shall be
supported with National Weather Bureau data showing the actual amount of inclement weather exceeded
which could normally be expected during the contract period. The Contractor's plea that insufficient time
was specified is not a valid reason for extension of time. If the Engineer finds that the work was delayed
because of conditions beyond the control and without the fault of the Contractor, he may extend the time
for completion in such amount as the conditions justify. The extended time for completion shall then be
in full force and effect, the same as though it were the original time for completion.
80-08 FAILURE TO COMPLETE ON TIME. For each calendar day or working day, as specified in
the contract, that any work remains uncompleted after the contract time (including all extensions and
adjustments as provided in the subsection titled DETERMINATION AND EXTENSION OF
CONTRACT TIME of this Section), the sum specified in the contract and proposal as liquidated damages
will be deducted from any money due or to become due the Contractor or his/her surety. Such deducted
sums shall not be deducted as a penalty but shall be considered as liquidation of a reasonable portion of
damages including but not limited to additional engineering services that will be incurred by the Owner
• should the Contractor fail to complete the work in the time provided in his/her contract.

Permitting the Contractor to continue and finish the work or any part of it after the time fixed for its
completion, or after the date to which the time for completion may have been extended, will in no way
operate as a waiver on the part of the Owner of any of its rights under the contract.
80-09 DEFAULT AND TERMINATION OF CONTRACT. The Contractor shall be considered in
default of his/her contract and such default will be considered as cause for the Owner to terminate the
contract for any of the following reasons if the Contractor:
a. Fails to begin the work under the contract within the time specified in the "Notice to
Proceed," or
b. Fails to perform the work or fails to provide sufficient workers, equipment or materials to
• assure completion of work in accordance with the terms of the contract, or
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 36 of 83
C. Performs the work unsuitably or neglects or refuses to remove materials or to perform
anew such work as may be rejected as unacceptable and unsuitable, or
d. Discontinues the prosecution of the work, or
e. Fails to resume work which has been discontinued within a reasonable time after notice
to do so, or
L Becomes insolvent or is declared bankrupt, or commits any act of bankruptcy or
insolvency, or
g. Allows any final judgment to stand against him unsatisfied for a period of 10 days, or
h. Makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or
i. For any other cause whatsoever, fails to carry on the work in an acceptable manner.
Should the Engineer consider the Contractor in default of the contract for any reason hereinbefore, he
shall immediately give written notice to the Contractor and the Contractor's surety as to the reasons for
considering the Contractor in default and the Owner's intentions to terminate the contract.
If the Contractor or surety, within a period of 10 days after such notice, does not proceed in accordance
therewith, then the Owner will, upon written notification from the Engineer of the facts of such delay,
• neglect, or default and the Contractor's failure to comply with such notice, have full power and authority
without violating the contract, to take the prosecution of the work out of the hands of the Contractor. The
Owner may appropriate or use any or all materials and equipment that have been mobilized for use in the
work and are acceptable and may enter into an agreement for the completion of said contract according to
the terms and provisions thereof, or use such other methods as in the opinion of the Engineer will be
required for the completion of said contract in an acceptable manner.
•
All costs and charges incurred by the Owner, together with the cost of completing the work under
contract, will be deducted from any monies due or which may become due the Contractor. If such
expense exceeds the sum which would have been payable under the contract, then the Contractor and the
surety shall be liable and shall pay to the Owner the amount of such excess.
80-10 TERMINATION FOR NATIONAL EMERGENCIES. The Owner shall terminate the
contract or portion thereof by written notice when the Contractor is prevented from proceeding with the
construction contract as a direct result of an Executive Order of the President with respect to the
prosecution of war or in the interest of national defense.
When the contract, or any portion thereof, is terminated before completion of all items of work in the
contract, payment will be made for the actual number of units or items of work completed at the contract
price or as mutually agreed for items of work partially completed or not started. No claims or loss of
anticipated profits shall be considered.
Reimbursement for organization of the work, and other overhead expenses, (when not otherwise included
in the contract) and moving equipment and materials to and from the job will be considered, the intent
being that an equitable settlement will be made with the Contractor.
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 37 of 83
Acceptable materials, obtained or ordered by the Contractor for the work and that are not incorporated in
the work shall, at the option of the Contractor, be purchased from the Contractor at actual cost as shown
by receipted bills and actual cost records at such points of delivery as may be designated by the Engineer.
Termination of the contract or a portion thereof shall neither relieve the Contractor of his/her
responsibilities for the completed work nor shall it relieve his/her surety of its obligation for and
concerning any just claim arising out of the work performed.
80-11 WORK AREA, STORAGE AREA AND SEQUENCE OF OPERATIONS. The Contractor
shall obtain approval from the Engineer prior to beginning any work in all areas of the airport. No
operating runway, taxiway, or Air Operations Area (AOA) shall be crossed, entered, or obstructed while
it is operational. The Contractor shall plan and coordinate his/her work in such a manner as to insure
safety and a minimum of hindrance to flight operations. All Contractor equipment and material stockpiles
shall be stored a minimum or 200 feet from the centerline of an active runway. No equipment will be

SECTION 90
MEASUREMENT AND PAYMENT
90-01 MEASUREMENT OF QUANTITIES. All work completed under the contract will be
measured by the Engineer, or his/her authorized representatives, using United States Customary Units of
Measurement or the International System of Units.
The method of measurement and computations to be used in determination of quantities of material
furnished and of work performed under the contract will be those methods generally recognized as
conforming to good engineering practice.
Unless otherwise specified, longitudinal measurements for area computations will be made horizontally,
and no deductions will be made for individual fixtures (or leave -outs) having an area of 9 square feet (0.8
square meter) or less. Unless otherwise specified, transverse measurements for area computations will be
the neat dimensions shown on the plans or ordered in writing by the Engineer.
Structures will be measured according to neat lines shown on the plans or as altered to fit field conditions.
Unless otherwise specified, all contract items which are measured by the linear foot such as electrical
ducts, conduits, pipe culverts, underdrains, and similar items shall be measured parallel to the base or
• foundation upon which such items are placed.
In computing volumes of excavation the average end area method or other acceptable methods will be
used.
The thickness of plates and galvanized sheet used in the manufacture of corrugated metal pipe, metal
plate pipe culverts and arches, and metal cribbing will be specified and measured in decimal fraction of
inches.
The term "ton" will mean the short ton consisting of 2,000 pounds (907 kilograms) avoirdupois. All
materials that are measured or proportioned by weights shall be weighed on accurate, approved scales by
competent, qualified personnel at locations designated by the Engineer. If material is shipped by rail, the
car weight may be accepted provided that only the actual weight of material is paid for. However, car
weights will not be acceptable for material to be passed through mixing plants. Trucks used to haul
material being paid for by weight shall be weighed empty daily at such times as the Engineer directs, and
each truck shall bear a plainly legible identification mark.
Materials to be measured by volume in the hauling vehicle shall be hauled in approved vehicles and
measured therein at the point of delivery. Vehicles for this purpose may be of any size or type acceptable
to the Engineer, provided that the body is of such shape that the actual contents may be readily and
accurately determined. All vehicles shall be loaded to at least their water level capacity, and all loads shall
be leveled when the vehicles arrive at the point of delivery.
When requested by the Contractor and approved by the Engineer in writing, material specified to be
• measured by the cubic yard (cubic meter) may be weighed, and such weights will be converted to cubic
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 39 of 83
yards (cubic meters) for payment purposes. Factors for conversion from weight measurement to volume
measurement will be determined by the Engineer and shall be agreed to by the Contractor before such
method of measurement of pay quantities is used.
Bituminous materials will be measured by the gallon (liter) or ton (kilogram). When measured by
volume, such volumes will be measured at 60° F (15° C) or will be corrected to the volume at 60° F (15°
C) using ASTM D 1250 for asphalts or ASTM D 633 for tars.
Net certified scale weights or weights based on certified volumes in the case of rail shipments will be
used as a basis of measurement, subject to correction when bituminous material has been lost from the car
or the distributor, wasted, or otherwise not incorporated in the work.
When bituminous materials are shipped by truck or transport, net certified weights by volume, subject to
correction for loss or foaming, may be used for computing quantities.
Cement will be measured by the ton (kilogram) or hundredweight (kilogram).
Timber will be measured by the thousand feet board measure (M.F.B.M.) actually incorporated in the
structure. Measurement will be based on nominal widths and thicknesses and the extreme length of each
piece.
The term "lump sum" when used as an item of payment will mean complete payment for the work
described in the contract.
0 When a complete structure or structural unit (in effect, "lump sum" work) is specified as the unit of
measurement, the unit will be construed to include all necessary fittings and accessories.
Rental of equipment will be measured by time in hours of actual working time and necessary traveling
time of the equipment within the limits of the work. Special equipment ordered by the Engineer in
connection with force account work will be measured as agreed in the change order or supplemental
agreement authorizing such force account work as provided in the subsection titled PAYMENT FOR
EXTRA AND FORCE ACCOUNT WORK of this section.
When standard manufactured items are specified such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduit,
etc., and these items are identified by gage, unit weight, section dimensions, etc., such identification will
be considered to be nominal weights or dimensions. Unless more stringently controlled by tolerances in
cited specifications, manufacturing tolerances established by the industries involved will be accepted.
Scales for weighing materials which are required to be proportioned or measured and paid for by weight
shall be furnished, erected, and maintained by the Contractor, or be certified permanently installed
commercial scales.
Scales shall be accurate within one-half percent of the correct weight throughout the range of use. The
Contractor shall have the scales checked under the observation of the inspector before beginning work
and at such other times as requested. The intervals shall be uniform in spacing throughout the graduated
or marked length of the beam or dial and shall not exceed one-tenth of 1 percent of the nominal rated
capacity of the scale, but not less than 1 pound (454 grams). The use of spring balances will not be
permitted.
• Beams, dials, platforms, and other scale equipment shall be so arranged that the operator and the inspector
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 40 of 83
• can safely and conveniently view them.
Scale installations shall have available ten standard 50 -pound (2.3 kilogram) weights for testing the
weighing equipment or suitable weights and devices for other approved equipment.
Scales must be tested for accuracy and serviced before use at a new site. Platform scales shall be installed
and maintained with the platform level and rigid bulkheads at each end.
Scales "overweighing" (indicating more than correct weight) will not be permitted to operate, and all
materials received subsequent to the last previous correct weighing -accuracy test will be reduced by the
percentage of error in excess of one-half of 1 percent.
In the event inspection reveals the scales have been "underweighing" (indicating less than correct weight),
they shall be adjusted, and no additional payment to the Contractor will be allowed for materials
previously weighed and recorded.
All costs in connection with furnishing, installing, certifying, testing, and maintaining scales; for
furnishing check weights and scale house; and for all other items specified in this subsection, for the
weighing of materials for proportioning or payment, shall be included in the unit contract prices for the
various items of the project.
When the estimated quantities for a specific portion of the work are designated as the pay quantities in the
contract, they shall be the final quantities for which payment for such specific portion of the work will be
made, unless the dimensions of said portions of the work shown on the plans are revised by the Engineer.
If revised dimensions result in an increase or decrease in the quantities of such work, the final quantities
for payment will be revised in the amount represented by the authorized changes in the dimensions.
90-02 SCOPE OF PAYMENT. The Contractor shall receive and accept compensation provided for in
the contract as full payment for furnishing all materials, for performing all work under the contract in a
complete and acceptable manner, and for all risk, loss, damage, or expense of whatever character arising
out of the nature of the work or the prosecution thereof, subject to the provisions of the subsection titled
NO WAIVER OF LEGAL RIGHTS of Section 70.
When the "basis of payment" subsection of a technical specification requires that the contract price (price
bid) include compensation for certain work or material essential to the item, this same work or material
will not also be measured for payment under any other contract item which may appear elsewhere in the
contract, plans, or specifications.
90-03 COMPENSATION FOR ALTERED QUANTITIES. When the accepted quantities of work
vary from the quantities in the proposal, the Contractor shall accept as payment in full, so far as contract
items are concerned, payment at the original contract price for the accepted quantities of work actually
completed and accepted. No allowance, except as provided for in the subsection titled ALTERATION
OF WORK AND QUANTITIES of Section 40 will be made for any increased expense, loss of expected
reimbursement, or loss of anticipated profits suffered or claimed by the Contractor which results directly
from such alterations or indirectly from his/her unbalanced allocation of overhead and profit among the

SECTION 110
METHOD OF ESTIMATING PERCENTAGE OF MATERIAL WITHIN
SPECIFICATION LIMITS (PWL)
110-01 GENERAL. When the specifications provide for acceptance of material based on the method of
estimating percentage of material within specification limits (PWL), the PWL will be determined in
accordance with this section. All test results for a lot will be analyzed statistically to determine the total
estimated percent of the lot that is within specification limits. The PWL is computed using the average
(X) and sample standard deviation (S„) of the specified number (n) of sublots for the lot and the
specification tolerance limits, L for lower and U for upper, for the particular acceptance parameter. From
these values, the respective Quality index(s), QL for Lower Quality Index and/or Qu for Upper Quality
Index, is computed and the PWL for the specified n is determined from Table 1. All specification limits
specified in the technical sections shall be absolute values. Test results used in the calculations shall be to
the significant figure given in the test procedure.
There is some degree of uncertainty (risk) in the measurement for acceptance because only a small
fraction of production material (the population) is sampled and tested. This uncertainty exists because all
portions of the production material have the same probability to be randomly sampled. The Contractor's
risk is the probability that material produced at the acceptable quality level is rejected or subjected to a
pay adjustment. The Owner's risk is the probability that material produced at the rejectable quality level
is accepted.
• IT IS THE INTENT OF THIS SECTION TO INFORM THE CONTRACTOR THAT, IN ORDER TO
CONSISTENTLY OFFSET THE CONTRACTOR'S RISK FOR MATERIAL EVALUATED,
PRODUCTION QUALITY (USING POPULATION AVERAGE AND POPULATION STANDARD
DEVIATION) MUST BE MAINTAINED AT THE ACCEPTABLE QUALITY SPECIFIED OR
HIGHER. IN ALL CASES, IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CONTRACTOR TO PRODUCE
AT QUALITY LEVELS THAT WILL MEET THE SPECIFIED ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA WHEN
SAMPLED AND TESTED AT THE FREQUENCIES SPECIFIED.
•
110-02 METHOD FOR COMPUTING PWL. The computational sequence for computing the PWL is
as follows:
a. Divide the lot into n sublots in accordance with the acceptance requirements of the
specification.
b. Locate the random sampling position within the sublot in accordance with the requirements of
the specification.
c. Make a measurement at each location, or take a test portion and make the measurement on the
test portion in accordance with the testing requirements of the specification.
d. Find the sample average (X) for all sublot values within the lot by using the following formula:
X= (XI +X2+X3+..An) /n
Where: X = Sample average of all sublot values within a lot
X1, x2 = Individual sublot values
n = Number of sublots
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 53 of 83
e. Find the sample standard deviation (S„) by use of the following formula:
S,, _ [(dl' + d22 + d32 + .. A"2) / (n -1)]u2
Where: S„ = Sample standard deviation of the number of sublot values in the set
d,, d2 = Deviations of the individual sublot values x1, x2 ... from the average value X
that is: d, _ (xl - X), d2 = (XZ - X) .. d„ _ (x„ - X)
n = number of sublots
f. For single sided specification limits (i.e., L only), compute the Lower Quality Index QL by use
of the following formula:
QL=(X-L)/S„
Where: L = specification lower tolerance limit
Estimate the percentage of material within limits (PWL) by entering Table 1 with QL, using
the column appropriate to the total number (n) of measurements. If the value of QL falls between values
shown on the table, use the next higher value of PWL.
g. For double sided specification limits (i.e. L and U), compute the Quality Indexes QL and Qu by
use of the following formulas:
QL=(X-L)/S,, and QU=(U-X)/S„
Where: L and U = specification lower and upper tolerance limits
Estimate the percentage of material between the lower (L) and upper (U) tolerance limits (PWL)
by entering Table 1 separately with QL and Qu, using the column appropriate to the total number (n) of
measurements, and determining the percent of material above PL and percent of material below Pu for
each tolerance limit. If the values of QL fall between values shown on the table, use the next higher value
Of PL or Pu. Determine the PWL by use of the following formula:
PWL = (PU + PL) - 100
Where: PL = percent within lower specification limit

2. Calculate average density for the lot.
X=(Xl+X2+X3+..x,)/n
X=(96.60+97.55+99.30+98.35)/4
X = 97.95 percent density
3. Calculate the standard deviation for the lot.
Sn = [((96.60 - 97.95)2 + (97.55 - 97.95)2 + (99.30 - 97.95) 2 + (98.35 - 97.95)0) /(4- 1)]'/2
S,,= [(1.82+0.16+ 1.82+0.16)/3]1/2
S,, = 1.15
4. Calculate the Lower Quality Index QL for the lot. (L = 96.3)
QL=(X-L)/S,,
QL = (97.95 - 96.30) / 1.15
QL = 1.4348
5. Determine PWL by entering Table 1 with QL= 1.44 and n= 4.

EXAMPLE OF OUTLIER CALCULATION (Reference ASTM E 78)
Project: Example Project
Test Item: Item P-401, Lot A.
• A. Outlier Determination for Mat Density.
1. Density of four random cores taken from Lot A. arranged in descending order.

A-4 98.35
A-2 97.55
A-1 96.60
2. Use n=4 and upper 5 percent significance level of to find the critical value for test criterion = 1.463.
3. Use average density, standard deviation, and test criterion value to evaluate density measurements.
a. For measurements greater than the average:
If. (measurement - average)/(standard deviation) is less than test criterion,
Then: the measurement is not considered an outlier
for A-3 Check if ( 99.30 - 97.95 ) / 1.15 greater than 1.463
1.174 is less than 1.463, the value is not an outlier
b. For measurements less than the average:
If (average - measurement)/(standard deviation) is less than test criterion, the measurement is
not considered an outlier
for A-1 Check if ( 97.95 - 96.60) / 1.15 greater than 1.463

NOTE: In this example, a measurement would be considered an outlier if the density was:
greater than (97.95+1.463x1.15) = 99.63 percent or,
less than (97.95-1.463x1.15) = 96.27 percent

a. is not owned or controlled by one or more citizens of a foreign country included in the list of countries
that discriminate against U.S. firms published by the Office of the United States Trade Representative
(USTR);
b. has not knowingly entered into any contract or subcontract for this project with a person that is a
citizen or national of a foreign country on said list, or is owned or controlled directly or indirectly by one
or more citizens or nationals of a foreign country on said list;
c. has not procured any product nor subcontracted for the supply of any product for use on the project
that is produced in a foreign country on said list.
Unless the restrictions of this clause are waived by the Secretary of Transportation in accordance with 49
CFR 30.17, no contract shall be awarded to a contractor or subcontractor who is unable to certify to the
above. If the contractor knowingly procures or subcontracts for the supply of any product or service of a
foreign country on said list for use on the project, the Federal Aviation Administration may direct through
the Sponsor cancellation of the contract at no cost to the Government.
Further, the contractor agrees that, if awarded a contract resulting from this solicitation, it will incorporate
this provision for certification without modification in each contract and in all lower tier subcontracts.

the certification is erroneous.
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 64 of 83
• The contractor shall provide immediate written notice to the sponsor if the contractor learns that its
certification or that of a subcontractor was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason
of changed circumstances. The subcontractor agrees to provide written notice to the contractor if at any
time it learns that its certification was erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
•
This certification is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making the
award. If it is later determined that the contractor or subcontractor knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, the Federal Aviation Administration may direct through the Sponsor cancellation of the
contract or subcontract for default at no cost to the Government.
Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in
order to render, in good faith, the certification required by this provision. The knowledge and information
of a contractor is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the
ordinary course of business dealings.
This certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an agency of the United States of America
and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the maker subject to
prosecution under Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001.
11.0 VETERAN'S PREFERENCE
In the employment of labor (except in executive, administrative, and supervisory positions), preference
shall be given to Veterans of the Vietnam era and disabled veterans as defined in Section 515(c)(1) and

where the individuals are available and qualified to perform the work to which the employment relates.
12.0 DAVIS-BACON ACT REQUIREMENTS (29 CFR PART 5)
1. Minimum Wages
(i) All laborers and mechanics employed or working upon the site of the work will be paid
unconditionally and not less often than once a week, and without subsequent deduction or rebate on any
account (except such payroll deductions as are permitted by the Secretary of Labor under the Copeland
Act (29 CFR Part 3)), the full amount of wages and bona fide fringe benefits (or cash equivalent thereof)
due at time of payment computed at rates not less than those contained in the wage determination of the
Secretary of Labor which is attached hereto and made a part hereof, regardless of any contractual
relationship which may be alleged to exist between the contractor and such laborers and mechanics.
Contributions made or costs reasonably anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits under section 1(b)(2) of
the Davis -Bacon Act on behalf of laborers or mechanics are considered wages paid to such laborers or
mechanics, subject to the provisions of paragraph (1)(iv) of this section; also, regular contributions made
or costs incurred for more than a weekly period (but not less often than quarterly) under plans, funds, or
programs which cover the particular weekly period, are deemed to be constructively made or incurred
during such weekly period. Such laborers and mechanics shall be paid the appropriate wage rate and
fringe benefits on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed, without
regard to skill, except as provided in 29 CFR Part 5.5(a)(4). Laborers or mechanics performing work in
more than one classification may be compensated at the rate specified for each classification for the time
actually worked therein: Provided, That the employer's payroll records accurately set forth the time spent
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 65 of 83
• in each classification in which work is performed. The wage determination (including any additional
classification and wage rates conformed under (1)(ii) of this section) and the Davis -Bacon poster (WH -
1321) shall be posted at all times by the contractor and its subcontractors at the site of the work in a
prominent and accessible place where it can easily be seen by the workers.
•
(ii)(A) The contracting officer shall require that any class of laborers or mechanics, including helpers,
which is not listed in the wage determination and which is to be employed under the contract shall be
classified in conformance with the wage determination. The contracting officer shall approve an
additional classification and wage rate and fringe benefits therefore only when the following criteria have
been met:
(1) The work to be performed by the classification requested is not performed by a classification in the
wage determination; and
(2) The classification is utilized in the area by the construction industry; and
(3) The proposed wage rate, including any bona fide fringe benefits, bears a reasonable relationship to the
wage rates contained in the wage determination.
(B) If the contractor and the laborers and mechanics to be employed in the classification (if known), or
their representatives, and the contracting officer agree on the classification and wage rate (including the
amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), a report of the action taken shall be sent by the
contracting officer to the Administrator of the Wage and Hour Division, Employment Standards
Administration, U.S. Department of Labor, Washington, D.C. 20210. The Administrator, or an
authorized representative, will approve, modify, or disapprove every additional classification action
within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the contracting officer within
the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary.
(C) In the event the contractor, the laborers or mechanics to be employed in the classification or their
representatives, and the contracting officer do not agree on the proposed classification and wage rate
(including the amount designated for fringe benefits where appropriate), the contracting officer shall refer
the questions, including the views of all interested parties and the recommendation of the contracting
officer, to the Administrator for determination. The Administrator, or an authorized representative, will
issue a determination within 30 days of receipt and so advise the contracting officer or will notify the
contracting officer within the 30 -day period that additional time is necessary.
(D) The wage rate (including fringe benefits where appropriate) determined pursuant to subparagraphs
(1)(ii) (B) or (C) of this paragraph, shall be paid to all workers performing work in the classification
under this contract from the first day on which work is performed in the classification.
(iii) Whenever the minimum wage rate prescribed in the contract for a class of laborers or mechanics
includes a fringe benefit which is not expressed as an hourly rate, the contractor shall either pay the
benefit as stated in the wage determination or shall pay another bona fide fringe benefit or an hourly cash
equivalent thereof.
(iv) If the contractor does not make payments to a trustee or other third person, the contractor may
consider as part of the wages of any laborer or mechanic the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated
in providing bona fide fringe benefits under a plan or program, Provided, That the Secretary of Labor has
found, upon the written request of the contractor, that the applicable standards of the Davis -Bacon Act
have been met. The Secretary of Labor may require the contractor to set aside in a separate account assets
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 66 of 83
f�
for the meeting of obligations under the plan or program.
2 Withholding.
The Federal Aviation Administration or the Sponsor shall upon its own action or upon written request of
an authorized representative of the Department of Labor withhold or cause to be withheld from the
contractor under this contract or any other Federal contract with the same prime contractor, or any other
Federally -assisted contract subject to David -Bacon prevailing wage requirements, which is held by the
same prime contractor, so much of the accrued payments or advances as may be considered necessary to
pay laborers and mechanics, including apprentices, trainees, and helpers, employed by the contractor or
any subcontractor the full amount of wages required by the contract. In the event of failure to pay any
laborer or mechanic, including any apprentice, trainee, or helper, employed or working on the site of
work, all or part of the wages required by the contract, the Federal Aviation Administration may, after
written notice to the contractor, sponsor, applicant, or owner, take such action as may be necessary to
cause the suspension of any further payment, advance, or guarantee of funds until such violations have
ceased.
3. Payrolls and basic records.
(i) Payrolls and basic records relating thereto shall be maintained by the contractor during the course of
the work and preserved for a period of three years thereafter for all laborers and mechanics working at the
site of the work. Such records shall contain the name, address, and social security number of each such
worker, his or her correct classification, hourly rates of wages paid (including rates of contributions or
costs anticipated for bona fide fringe benefits or cash equivalents thereof of the types described in
l (b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act), daily and weekly number of hours worked, deductions made and
actual wages paid. Whenever the Secretary of Labor has found under 29 CFR 5.5(a)(1)(iv) that the wages
of any laborer or mechanic include the amount of any costs reasonably anticipated in providing benefits
under a plan or program described in section 1(b)(2)(B) of the Davis -Bacon Act, the contractor shall
maintain records which show that the commitment to provide such benefits is enforceable, that the plan or
program is financially responsible, and that the plan or program has been communicated in writing to the
laborers or mechanics affected, and records which show the costs anticipated or the actual costs incurred
in providing such benefits. Contractors employing apprentices or trainees under approved programs shall
maintain written evidence of the registration of apprenticeship programs and certification of trainee
programs, the registration of the apprentices and trainees, and the ratios and wage rates prescribed in the
applicable programs.
(ii)(A) The contractor shall submit weekly, for each week in which any contract work is performed, a
copy of all payrolls to the applicant, sponsor, or owner, as the case may be, for transmission to the Federal
Aviation Administration. The payrolls submitted shall set out accurately and completely all of the
information required to be maintained under paragraph 5.5(a)(3)(i) above. This information may be
submitted in any form desired. Optional Form WH -347 is available for this purpose and may be
purchased from the Superintendent of Documents (Federal Stock Number 029-005-00014-1), U.S.
Government Printing Office, Washington, D.C. 20402. The prime contractor is responsible for the
submission of copies of payrolls by all subcontractors.
(B) Each payroll submitted shall be accompanied by a "Statement of Compliance," signed by the
contractor or subcontractor or his or her agent who pays or supervises the payment of the persons
employed under the contract and shall certify the following:
(1) That the payroll for the payroll period contains the information required to be maintained under
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 67 of 83
paragraph (3)(i) above and that such information is correct and complete;
(2) That each laborer and mechanic (including each helper, apprentice and trainee) employed on the
contract during the payroll period has been paid the full weekly wages earned, without rebate, either
directly or indirectly, and that no deductions have been made either directly or indirectly from the full
wages earned, other than permissible deductions as set forth in Regulations 29 CFR Part 3;
(3) That each laborer or mechanic has been paid not less than the applicable wage rates and fringe
benefits or cash equivalents for the classification of work performed, as specified in the applicable wage
determination incorporated into the contract.
(C) The weekly submission of a properly executed certification set forth on the reverse side of Optional
Form W14-347 shall satisfy the requirement for submission of the "Statement of Compliance" required by
paragraph (3)(ii)(B) of this section.
(D) The falsification of any of the above certifications may subject the contractor or subcontractor to civil
or criminal prosecution under Section 1001 of Title 18 and Section 231 of Title 31 of the United States
Code.
(iii) The contractor or subcontractor shall make the records required under paragraph (3)(i) of this section
available for inspection, copying or transcription by authorized representatives of the Sponsor, the Federal
Aviation Administration or the Department of Labor, and shall permit such representatives to interview
employees during working hours on the job. If the contractor or subcontractor fails to submit the required
records or to make them available, the Federal agency may, after written notice to the contractor, sponsor,
• applicant or owner, take such action as may be necessary to cause the suspension of any further payment,
advance, or guarantee of funds. Furthermore, failure to submit the required records upon request or to
make such records available may be grounds for debarment action pursuant to 29 CFR 5.12.
C.
4. Apprentices and Trainees.
(i) Apprentices. Apprentices will be permitted to work at less than the predetermined rate for the work
they performed when they are employed pursuant to and individually registered in a bona fide
apprenticeship program registered with the U.S. Department of Labor, Employment and Training
Administration, Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or with a State Apprenticeship Agency
recognized by the Bureau, or if a person is employed in his or her first 90 days of probationary
employment as an apprentice in such an apprenticeship program, who is not individually registered in the
program, but who has been certified by the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training or a State
Apprenticeship Agency (where appropriate) to be eligible for probationary employment as an apprentice.
The allowable ratio of apprentices to journeymen on the job site in any craft classification shall not be
greater than the ratio permitted to the contractor as to the entire work force under the registered program.
Any worker listed on a payroll at an apprentice wage rate, who is not registered or otherwise employed as
stated above, shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the
classification of work actually performed. In addition, any apprentice performing work on the job site in
excess of the ratio permitted under the registered program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage
rate on the wage determination for the work actually performed. Where a contractor is performing
construction on a project in a locality other than that in which its program is registered, the ratios and
wage rates (expressed in percentages of the journeyman's hourly rate) specified in the contractor's or
subcontractor's registered program shall be observed. Every apprentice must be paid at not less than the
rate specified in the registered program for the apprentice's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of
the journeymen hourly rate specified in the applicable wage determination. Apprentices shall be paid
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 68 of 83
fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of the apprenticeship program. If the apprenticeship
program does not specify fringe benefits, apprentices must be paid the full amount of fringe benefits listed
on the wage determination for the applicable classification. If the Administrator determines that a
different practice prevails for the applicable apprentice classification, fringes shall be paid in accordance
with that determination. In the event the Bureau of Apprenticeship and Training, or a State
Apprenticeship Agency recognized by the Bureau, withdraws approval of an apprenticeship program, the
contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize apprentices at less than the applicable predetermined rate
for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(ii) Trainees. Except as provided in 29 CFR 5.16, trainees will not be permitted to work at less than the
predetermined rate for the work performed unless they are employed pursuant to and individually
registered in a program which has received prior approval, evidenced by formal certification by the U.S.
Department of Labor, Employment and Training Administration. The ratio of trainees to journeymen on
the job site shall not be greater than permitted under the plan approved by the Employment and Training
Administration. Every trainee must be paid at not less than the rate specified in the approved program for
the trainee's level of progress, expressed as a percentage of the journeyman hourly rate specified in the
applicable wage determination. Trainees shall be paid fringe benefits in accordance with the provisions of
the trainee program. If the trainee program does not mention fringe benefits, trainees shall be paid the full
amount of fringe benefits listed on the wage determination unless the Administrator of the Wage and
Hour Division determines that there is an apprenticeship program associated with the corresponding
journeyman wage rate on the wage determination which provides for less than full fringe benefits for
apprentices. Any employee listed on the payroll at a trainee rate who is not registered and participating in
a training plan approved by the Employment and Training Administration shall be paid not less than the
applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the classification of work actually performed. In
addition, any trainee performing work on the job site in excess of the ratio permitted under the registered
program shall be paid not less than the applicable wage rate on the wage determination for the work
actually performed. In the event the Employment and Training Administration withdraws approval of a
training program, the contractor will no longer be permitted to utilize trainees at less than the applicable
predetermined rate for the work performed until an acceptable program is approved.
(iii) Equal Employment Opportunity. The utilization of apprentices, trainees and journeymen under this
part shall be in conformity with the equal employment opportunity requirements of Executive Order
11246, as amended, and 29 CFR Part 30.
5. Compliance With Copeland Act Requirements.
The contractor shall comply with the requirements of 29 CFR Part 3, which are incorporated by reference
in this contract.
6. Subcontracts.
The contractor or subcontractor shall insert in any subcontracts the clauses contained in 29 CFR Part
5.5(a)(1) through (10) and such other clauses as the Federal Aviation Administration may by appropriate
instructions require, and also a clause requiring the subcontractors to include these clauses in any lower
tier subcontracts. The prime contractor shall be responsible for the compliance by any subcontractor or
lower tier subcontractor with all the contract clauses in 29 CFR Part 5.5.
7. Contract Termination: Debarment.
A breach of the contract clauses in paragraph 1 through 10 of this section may be grounds for termination

Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 69 of 83
of the contract, and for debarment as a contractor and a subcontractor as provided in 29 CFR 5.12.
8. Compliance With Davis -Bacon and Related Act Requirements.
All rulings and interpretations of the Davis -Bacon and Related Acts contained in 29 CFR Parts 1, 3, and 5
are herein incorporated by reference in this contract.
9. Disputes Concerning Labor Standards.
Disputes arising out of the labor standards provisions of this contract shall not be subject to the general
disputes clause of this contract. Such disputes shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures of the
Department of Labor set forth in 29 CFR Parts 5, 6 and 7. Disputes within the meaning of this clause
include disputes between the contractor (or any of its subcontractors) and the contracting agency, the U.S.
Department of Labor, or the employees or their representatives.
10. Certification of Eligibility.
(i) By entering into this contract, the contractor certifies that neither it (nor he or she) nor any person or
firm who has an interest in the contractor's firm is a person or firm ineligible to be awarded Government
contracts by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis -Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).
(ii) No part of this contract shall be subcontracted to any person or firm ineligible for award of a
Government contract by virtue of section 3(a) of the Davis -Bacon Act or 29 CFR 5.12(a)(1).

18.0 NOTICE OF REQUIREMENT FOR AFFIRMATIVE ACTION - 41 CFR PART 60-2
1. The Offeror's or Bidder's attention is called to the "Equal Opportunity Clause" and the "Standard
Federal Equal Employment Opportunity Construction Contract Specifications" set forth herein.
2. The goals and timetables for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage terms for the
contractor's aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as
follows:
Timetables
Goals for minority participation for each trade: (Vol. 45 Federal Register pg. 65984 10/3/80)
Goals for female participation in each trade (6.9%)
These goals are applicable to all the contractor's construction work (whether or not it is Federal or
federally -assisted) performed in the covered area. If the contractor performs construction work in a
geographical area located outside of the covered area, it shall apply the goals established for such
geographical area where the work is actually performed. With regard to this second area, the contractor
also is subject to the goals for both its Federally involved and non -federally involved construction.
The contractor's compliance with the Executive Order and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4 shall be
based on its implementation of the Equal Opportunity Clause, specific affirmative action obligations
required by the specifications set forth in 41 CFR 60-4.3(a), and its efforts to meet the goals. The hours of
minority and female employment and training shall be substantially uniform throughout the length of the
contract, and in each trade, and the contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and
. women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from
contractor to contractor or from project to project, for the sole purpose of meeting the contractor's goals,
shall be a violation of the contract, the Executive Order, and the regulations in 41 CFR Part 60-4.
Compliance with the goals will be measured against the total work hours performed.
3. The contractor shall provide written notification to the Director, OFCCP, within 10 working days of
award of any construction subcontract in excess of $10,000 at any tier for construction work under the
contract resulting from this solicitation. The notification shall list the name, address, and telephone
number of the subcontractor; employer identification number of the subcontractor; estimated dollar
amount of the subcontract; estimated starting and completion dates of subcontract; and the geographical
area in which the subcontract is to be performed.
4. As used in this notice and in the contract resulting from this solicitation, the "covered area" is [The City
of Sebastian, Indian River County, Florida].
19.0 EQUAL EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITY CONSTRUCTION CONTRACT
SPECIFICATIONS - 41 CFR PART 60.4.3

a. "Covered area" means the geographical area described in the solicitation from which this contract
resulted;
b. "Director" means Director, Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP), U.S.
• Department of Labor, or any person to whom the Director delegates authority;
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 77 of 83
c. "Employer identification number" means the Federal social security number used on the Employer's
Quarterly Federal Tax Return, U.S. Treasury Department Form 941;
d. "Minority" includes:
(1) Black (all) persons having origins in any of the Black African racial groups not of Hispanic origin);
(2) Hispanic (all persons of Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, Central or South American, or other Spanish
culture or origin regardless of race);
(3) Asian and Pacific Islander (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East,
Southeast Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, or the Pacific Islands); and
(4) American Indian or Alaskan native (all persons having origins in any of the original peoples of North
America and maintaining identifiable tribal affiliations through membership and participation or
community identification).
2. Whenever the contractor, or any subcontractor at any tier, subcontracts a portion of the work involving
any construction trade, it shall physically include in each subcontract in excess of $10,000 the provisions
of these specifications and the Notice which contains the applicable goals for minority and female
participation and which is set forth in the solicitations from which this contract resulted.
3. If the contractor is participating (pursuant to 41 CFR 60-4.5) in a Hometown Plan approved by the U.S.
IS Department of Labor in the covered area either individually or through an association, its affirmative
action obligations on all work in the Plan area (including goals and timetables) shall be in accordance
with that Plan for those trades which have unions participating in the Plan. Contractors shall be able to
demonstrate their participation in and compliance with the provisions of any such Hometown Plan. Each
contractor or subcontractor participating in an approved plan is individually required to comply with its
obligations under the EEO clause and to make a good faith effort to achieve each goal under the Plan in
each trade in which it has employees. The overall good faith performance by other contractors or
subcontractors toward a goal in an approved Plan does not excuse any covered contractor's or
subcontractor's failure to take good faith efforts to achieve the Plan goals and timetables.
4. The contractor shall implement the specific affirmative action standards provided in paragraphs 18.7a
through 18.7p of these specifications. The goals set forth in the solicitation from which this contract
resulted are expressed as percentages of the total hours of employment and training of minority and
female utilization the contractor should reasonably be able to achieve in each construction trade in which
it has employees in the covered area. Covered construction contractors performing construction work in a
geographical area where they do not have a Federal or federally assisted constriction contract shall apply
the minority and female goals established for the geographical area where the work is being performed.
Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form, and such notices may be obtained
from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office or from Federal procurement
contracting officers. The contractor is expected to make substantially uniform progress in meeting its
goals in each craft during the period specified.
5. Neither the provisions of any collective bargaining agreement nor the failure by a union with whom the
contractor has a collective bargaining agreement to refer either minorities or women shall excuse the
contractor's obligations under these specifications, Executive Order 11246 or the regulations promulgated
pursuant thereto.

achieve maximum results from its actions. The contractor shall document these efforts fully and shall
implement affirmative action steps at least as extensive as the following:

sent to the union hiring hall for referral and was not referred back to the contractor by the union or, if
referred, not employed by the contractor, this shall be documented in the file with the reason therefore
along with whatever additional actions the contractor may have taken.
d. Provide immediate written notification to the Director when the union or unions with which the
contractor has a collective bargaining agreement has not referred to the contractor a minority person or
female sent by the contractor, or when the contractor has other information that the union referral process
has impeded the contractor's efforts to meet its obligations.
e. Develop on-the-job training opportunities and/or participate in training programs for the area which
expressly include minorities and women, including upgrading programs and apprenticeship and trainee
programs relevant to the contractor's employment needs, especially those programs funded or approved
by the Department of Labor. The contractor shall provide notice of these programs to the sources
compiled under 7b above.
f. Disseminate the contractor's EEO policy by providing notice of the policy to unions and training
programs and requesting their cooperation in assisting the contractor in meeting its EEO obligations; by
including it in any policy manual and collective bargaining agreement; by publicizing it in the company
newspaper, annual report, etc.; by specific review of the policy with all management personnel and with
all minority and female employees at least once a year; and by posting the company EEO policy on
bulletin boards accessible to all employees at each location where construction work is performed.
• g. Review, at least annually, the company's EEO policy and affirmative action obligations under these

h. Disseminate the contractor's EEO policy externally by including it in any advertising in the news
media, specifically including minority and female news media, and providing written notification to and
discussing the contractor's EEO policy with other contractors and subcontractors with whom the
contractor does or anticipates doing business.
i. Direct its recruitment efforts, both oral and written, to minority, female, and community organizations,
to schools with minority and female students; and to minority and female recruitment and training
organizations serving the contractor's recruitment area and employment needs. Not later than one month
prior to the date for the acceptance of applications for apprenticeship or other training by any recruitment
source, the contractor shall send written notification to organizations, such as the above, describing the
openings, screening procedures, and tests to be used in the selection process.
j. Encourage present minority and female employees to recruit other minority persons and women and,
where reasonable provide after school, summer, and vacation employment to minority and female youth
both on the site and in other areas of a contractor's workforce.
k. Validate all tests and other selection requirements where there is an obligation to do so under 41 CFR
Part 60-3.
• 1. Conduct, at least annually, an inventory and evaluation at least of all minority and female personnel,
for promotional opportunities and encourage these employees to seek or to prepare for, through
appropriate training, etc., such opportunities.
in. Ensure that seniority practices, job classifications, work assignments, and other personnel practices do
not have a discriminatory effect by continually monitoring all personnel and employment related
activities to ensure that the EEO policy and the contractor's obligations under these specifications are
being carried out.
n. Ensure that all facilities and company activities are non -segregated except that separate or single user
toilet and necessary changing facilities shall be provided to assure privacy between the sexes.
o. Document and maintain a record of all solicitations of offers for subcontracts from minority and
female construction contractors and suppliers, including circulation of solicitations to minority and female
contractor associations and other business associations.
p. Conduct a review, at least annually, of all supervisor's adherence to and performance under the
contractor's EEO policies and affirmative action obligations.
8. Contractors are encouraged to participate in voluntary associations, which assist in fulfilling one or
more of their affirmative action obligations (18.7a through 18.7p). The efforts of a contractor association,
joint contractor union, contractor community, or other similar groups of which the contractor is a member
and participant, may be asserted as fulfilling any one or more of its obligations under 18.7a through 18.7p
of these specifications provided that the contractor actively participates in the group, makes every effort
• to assure that the group has a positive impact on the employment of minorities and women in the industry,
Rehabilitate Taxilanes E, F, Apron F General Provisions
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
GP- 80 of 83
• ensures that the concrete benefits of the program are reflected in the contractor's minority and female
workforce participation, makes a good faith effort to meet its individual goals and timetables, and can
provide access to documentation which demonstrates the effectiveness of actions taken on behalf of the
contractor. The obligation to comply, however, is the contractor's and failure of such a group to fulfill an
obligation shall not be a defense for the contractor's noncompliance.
LJ
9. A single goal for minorities and a separate single goal for women have been established. The
contractor, however, is required to provide equal employment opportunity and to take affirmative action
for all minority groups, both male and female, and all women, both minority and non -minority.
Consequently, if the particular group is employed in a substantially disparate manner (for example, even
though the contractor has achieved its goals for women generally,) the contractor may be in violation of
the Executive Order if a specific minority group of women is underutilized.
10. The contractor shall not use the goals and timetables or affirmative action standards to discriminate
against any person because of race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.
11. The contractor shall not enter into any subcontract with any person or firm debarred from
Government contracts pursuant to Executive Order 11246.
12. The contractor shall carry out such sanctions and penalties for violation of these specifications and of
the Equal Opportunity Clause, including suspension, termination, and cancellation of existing
subcontracts as may be imposed or ordered pursuant to Executive Order 11246, as amended, and its
implementing regulations, by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs. Any contractor who
fails to carry out such sanctions and penalties shall be in violation of these specifications and Executive
Order 11246, as amended.
13. The contractor, in fulfilling its obligations under these specifications, shall implement specific
affirmative action steps, at least as extensive as those standards prescribed in paragraph 18.7 of these
specifications, so as to achieve maximum results from its efforts to ensure equal employment opportunity.
If the contractor fails to comply with the requirements of the Executive Order, the implementing
regulations, or these specifications, the Director shall proceed in accordance with 41 CFR 60-4.8.
14. The contractor shall designate a responsible official to monitor all employment related activity to
ensure that the company EEO policy is being carried out, to submit reports relating to the provisions
hereof as may be required by the Government, and to keep records. Records shall at least include for
each employee, the name, address, telephone number, construction trade, union affiliation if any,
employee identification number when assigned, social security number, race, sex, status (e.g., mechanic,
apprentice, trainee, helper, or laborer), dates of changes in status, hours worked per week in the indicated
trade, rate of pay, and locations at which the work was performed. Records shall be maintained in an
easily understandable and retrievable form; however, to the degree that existing records satisfy this
requirement, contractors shall not be required to maintain separate records.
15. Nothing herein provided shall be construed as a limitation upon the application of other laws which
establish different standards of compliance or upon the application of requirements for the hiring of local
or other area residents (e.g., those under the Public Works Employment Act of 1977 and the Community
Development Block Grant Program).

PART 1 - General Information:
A. The NPDES program is established under 40CFR122.2
B. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) issued a National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for Storm Water Discharges from
Construction Activities that are classified as "Associated with Industrial Activity." This
Construction General Permit covers all areas administered by EPA Region 4, which includes
Florida. The Construction General Permit was published in Federal RegisterNol. 63, No.
61/Tuesday, March 31, 1998 and is available on EPA's web site or from the Owner.
C. The NPDES permit program requires a Construction General Permit if the construction activity
will disturb five acres or greater, or will disturb less than five acres but is part of a larger
common plan of development or sale whose total land disturbing activities total five acres or
greater (or is designated by the NPDES permitting authority); and will discharge storm water
runoff from the construction site into a municipal separate storm water sewer system (MS4) or
waters of the United States.
D. For this contract, the Engineer has determined that a Construction General Permit is required. It
is therefore required that the Contractor read the permit requirements in the Construction
General Permit cited in paragraph C, develop and implement a Storm Water Pollution
Prevention Plan (SWPPP), complete and submit a Notice of Intent (NOI), and complete and
submit a Notice of Termination (NOT).
E. Detailed guidance on the development of the SWPPP is contained in EPA Publication EPA 832-
E-92-005 dated September 1992, titled Storm Water Management for Construction Activities —
Developing Pollution Prevention Plans and Best Management Practices.
PART 2 - Specific Requirements:
A. The Contractor shall develop, implement and comply with a plan specifically designed for this
construction site and including Best Management Practices (BMPs) and controls which prevent
the pollution of storm water discharges.
B. The Contractor shall incorporate into the SWPPP all applicable requirements specified in state
or local sediment and erosion control plans or permits or storm water management plans or
permits. The Contractor shall submit a certification that the SWPPP reflects these requirements
and that these requirements will be complied with during the term of the contract.
C. Prior to commencement of construction, the SWPPP must be prepared and certified by the
Contractor. Notice of Intent (NOI) must be forwarded to the Environmental Protection Agency
(with an information copy to the Owner) at least 48 hours prior to any land clearing.
D. Recordkeeping: The Contractor shall maintain the Plan and the associated records and reports,
. including documentation of the required inspections. These documents shall be maintained at
the job site until the site is finally stabilized. Thereafter, the Contractor (Permittee) shall keep
the SWPPP and all reports for at least three years.

E. Report Submittal: The Contractor shall include with each payment request two (2) sets of
information copies of all required inspection reports, certifications and notifications. Inspection
reports to be submitted shall include both weekly reports and special reports required after
rainfall events in excess of 0.5". The regulations specifically require an onsite rain gauge. It is
recommended that the Contractor record rainfall amount daily. Payment requests will not be
processed in the absence of these submittals.

CHAPTER 1. GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS AND RESPONSIBILITIES
1-1. OVERVIEW.
Hazardous practices and marginal conditions created by
construction activities can decrease or jeopardize
operational safety on airports. To minimize disruption of
normal aircraft operations and to avoid situations that
compromise the airport's operational safety, the airport
operator must carefully plan, schedule, and coordinate
construction activities. While the guidance in this AC is
primarily used for construction operations, some of the
methods and procedures described may also enhance day-
to-day maintenance operations.
1-2. WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SAFETY
DURING CONSTRUCTION.
An airport operator has overall responsibility for
construction activities on an airport. This includes the
predesign, design, preconstruction, construction, and
inspection phases. Additional information on these
responsibilities can be found throughout this AC.
a. Airport operator's responsibilities—
(1) Develop internally or approve a
construction safety plan developed by an outside
consultant/contractor that complies with the safety
guidelines in Chapter 2, "Safety Plans," and Appendix 3,
"Airport Construction Safety Planning Guide," of this
AC.
(2) Require contractors to submit plans
indicating how they intend to comply with the safety
requirements of the project.
(3) Convene a meeting with the construction
contractor, consultant, airport employees, and, if
appropriate, tenant sponsor to review and discuss project
safety before beginning construction activity.
(4) Ensure contact information is accurate for
each representative/point of contact identified in the
safety plan.
(5) Hold weekly or, if necessary, daily safety
meetings to coordinate activities.
(6) Notify users, especially aircraft rescue and
fire fighting (ARFF) personnel, of construction activity
and conditions that may adversely affect the operational
safety of the airport via Notices to Airmen (NOTAMs) or
other methods, as appropriate. Convene a meeting for
review and discussion if necessary.
(7) Ensure that construction personnel know
of any applicable airport procedures and of changes to
those procedures that may affect their work.
(8) Ensure that construction contractors and
subcontractors undergo training required by the safety
plan.
(9) Develop and/or coordinate a construction
vehicle plan with airport tenants, the airport traffic control
tower (ATCT), and construction contractors. Include the
vehicle plan in the safety plan. See Chapter 2, section 2,
of this AC for additional information.
(10) Ensure tenants and contractors comply
with standards and procedures for vehicle lighting,
marking, access, operation, and communication.
(11) At certificated airports, ensure that each
tenant's construction safety plan is consistent with 14
CFR part 139, Certification and Operations: Land
Airports Serving Certain Air Carriers.
(12) Conduct frequent inspections to ensure
construction contractors and tenants comply with the
safety plan and that altered construction activities do not
create potential safety hazards.
(13) Resolve safety deficiencies immediately.
(14) Ensure construction access complies with
the security requirements of 49 CFR part 1542, Airport
Security.
(15) Notify appropriate parties when
conditions exist that invoke provisions of the safety plan
(e.g., implementation of low -visibility operations).
b. Construction contractor's responsibilities
(1) Submit plans to the airport operator on
how to comply with the safety requirements of the
project.
(2) Have available a copy of the project safety
plan.
(3) Comply with the safety plan associated
with the construction project and ensure that construction
personnel are familiar with safety procedures and
regulations on the airport.
(4) 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.
(5) Provide a safety officer/construction
inspector familiar with airport safety to monitor
construction activities.
(6) Restrict movement of construction
vehicles to construction areas by flagging and barricading,
erecting temporary fencing, or providing escorts, as
appropriate.
AC 150/5370-2E
(7) Ensure that no construction employees,
•employees of subcontractors or suppliers, or other persons
enter any part of the air operations areas (AOAs) from the
construction site unless authorized.
•
•
c. Tenant's responsibilities if planning
construction activities on leased property—
(1) Develop a safety plan, and submit it to the
airport operator for approval prior to issuance of a Notice
to Proceed.
(2) Provide a point of contact who will
coordinate an immediate response to correct any

CHAPTER 2. SAFETY PLANS
Section 1. Basic Safety Plan Considerations
2-1. OVERVIEW.
Airport operators should coordinate safety issues with the
air carriers, FAA Airway Facilities, and other airport
tenants before the design phase of the project. The airport
operator should identify project safety concerns,
requirements, and impacts before making arrangements
with contractors and other personnel to perform work on
an airport. These safety concerns will serve as the
foundation for the construction safety plan and help
maintain a high level of aviation safety during the project.
The airport operator should determine the level of
complexity of the safety plan that is necessary for each
construction project and its phases. The safety plan may
be detailed in the specifications included in the invitation
for bids, or the invitation for bid may specify that the
contractor develop the safety plan and the airport operator
approve it. In the latter case, the invitation for bid should
contain sufficient information to allow the contractor to
develop and determine the costs associated with the safety
plan. In either case, safety plan costs should be
incorporated into the total cost of the project. The airport
operator has final approval authority and responsibility
for all safety plans.
Coordination will vary from formal predesign conferences
to informal contacts throughout the duration of the
construction protect.
Details of a specified safety plan, or requirements for a
contractor -developed safety plan, should be discussed at
the predesign and preconstruction conferences and should
include the following, as appropriate:
a. Actions necessary before starting construction,
including defining and assigning responsibilities.
b. Basic responsibilities and procedures for
disseminating instructions about airport procedures to the
contractor's personnel.
AC 150/5370-2E
2-2. SAFETY PLAN CHECKLIST.
To the extent applicable, the safety plan should address
the following:
a. Scope of work to be performed, including
proposed duration of work.
b. Runway and taxiway marking and lighting.
c. Procedures for protecting all runway and taxiway
safety areas, obstacle -free zones (OFZs), object -free areas
(OFAs), and threshold citing criteria outlined in AC
150/5300-13, Airport Design, and as described in this AC.
This includes limitations on equipment height and
stockpiled material.
d. Areas and operations affected by the
construction activity, including possible safety problems.
e. NAVAIDs that could be affected, especially
critical area boundaries.
f. Methods of separating vehicle and pedestrian
construction traffic from the airport movement areas.
This may include fencing off construction areas to keep
equipment operators in restricted areas in which they are
authorized to operate. Fencing, or some other form of
restrictive barrier, is an operational necessity in some
cases.
g. Procedures and equipment, such as barricades
(identify type), to delineate closed construction areas from
the airport operational areas, as necessary.
h. Limitations on construction.
i. Required compliance of contractor personnel
with all airport safety and security measures.
c. Means of separating construction areas from j. Location of stockpiled construction materials,
aeronautical -use areas. construction site parking, and access and haul roads.
d. Navigational aid (NAVAID) requirements and
weather.
e. Marking and lighting plan illustrations.
f. Methods of coordinating significant changes in
airport operations with all the appropriate parties.
k. Radio communications.
1. Vehicle identification.
m. Trenches and excavations and cover
requirements.

AC 150/5370-2E
n. Procedures for notifying ARFF personnel if
water lines or fire hydrants must be deactivated or if
emergency access routes must be rerouted or blocked.
o. Emergency notification procedures for medical
and police response.
p. Use of temporary visual aids.
q. Wildlife management.
r. Foreign object debris (FOD) control provisions
s. Hazardous materials (HAZMAT) management.
t. NOTAM issuance.
1/17/03
w. Procedures for contacting responsible
representatives/points of contact for all involved parties.
This should include off-duty contact information so an
immediate response may be coordinated to correct any
construction -related activity that could adversely affect
the operational safety of the airport. Particular care
should be taken to ensure that appropriate Airways
Facilities personnel are identified in the event that an
unanticipated utility outage or cable cut occurs that
impacts FAA NAVAIDs.
x. Vehicle operator training.
y. Penalty provisions for noncompliance with
airport rules and regulations and the safety plan (e.g., if a
vehicle is involved in a runway incursion).
u. Inspection requirements. z. Any special conditions that affect the operation
of the airport and will require a portion of the safety plan

underground facilities in excavation areas.
Section 2. Safety and Security Measures
2-3. OVERVIEW.
Airport operators are responsible for closely monitoring
40 tenant and construction contractor activity during the
construction project to ensure continual compliance with
all safety and security requirements. Airports subject to
49 CFR part 1542, Airport Security, must meet standards
for access control, movement of ground vehicles, and
identification of construction contractor and tenant
personnel. In addition, airport operators should use safety
program standards, as described in Chapter 3 of this AC,
to develop specific safety measures to which tenants and
construction contractors must adhere throughout the
duration of construction activities.
General safety provisions are contained in AC
150/5370-10, Standards for Specking Construction of
Airports, paragraphs 40-05, "Maintenance of Traffic";
70-08, "Barricades, Warning Signs, and Hazard
Markings"; and 80-04, "Limitation of Operations." At any
time during construction, aircraft operations, weather,
security, or local airport rules may dictate more stringent
safety measures. The airport operator should ensure that
both general and specific safety requirements are
coordinated with airport tenants and ATCT personnel.
The airport operator should also include these parties in
the coordination of all bid documents, construction plans,
and specifications for on -airport construction projects.
•
2-4. VEHICLE OPERATION AND MARKING
AND PEDESTRIAN CONTROL.
Vehicle and pedestrian access routes for airport
construction projects must be controlled to prevent
inadvertent or unauthorized entry of persons, vehicles, or
animals onto the AOA. This includes aircraft movement
and nonmovement areas. The airport operator should
develop and coordinate a construction vehicle plan with
airport tenants, contractors, and the ATCT. The safety
plan or invitation for bid should include specific vehicle
and pedestrian requirements.
The vehicle plan should contain the following items:
a. Airport operator's rules and regulations for
vehicle marking, lighting, and operation.
b. Requirements for marking and identifying
vehicles in accordance with AC 150/5210-5, Painting,
Marking, and Lighting of vehicles Used on an Airport
c. Description of proper vehicle operations on
movement and nonmovement areas under normal, lost
communications, and emergency conditions.
d. Penalties for noncompliance with driving rules
and regulations.
e. Training requirements for vehicle drivers to
ensure compliance with the airport operator's vehicle
rules and regulations.
f. Provisions for radio communication training for
construction contractor personnel engaged in construction
activities around aircraft movement areas. Some drivers,
•
•
1/17/03
such as construction drivers under escort, may not require
this training.
g. Escort procedures for construction vehicles
requiring access to aircraft movement areas. A vehicle in
the movement area must have a working aviation -band,
two-way radio unless it is under escort. Vehicles can be
in closed areas without a radio if the closed area is
properly marked and lighted to prevent incursions and a
NOTAM regarding the closure is issued.
h. Monitoring procedures to ensure that vehicle
drivers are in compliance with the construction vehicle
plan.
i. Procedures for, if appropriate, personnel to
control access through gates and fencing or across aircraft
movement areas.
2-5. CONSTRUCTION EMPLOYEE PARKING
AREAS.
Designate in advance vehicle parking areas for contractor
employees to prevent any unauthorized entry of persons
or vehicles onto the airport movement area. These areas
should provide reasonable contractor employee access to
the job site.
2-6. CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE EQUIPMENT
PARKING.
Construction employees must park and service all
construction vehicles in an area designated by the airport
operator outside the runway safety areas and OFZs and
never on a closed taxiway or runway. Employees should
also park construction vehicles outside the OFA when not
in use by construction personnel (e.g., overnight, on
weekends, or during other periods when construction is
not active). Parking areas must not obstruct the clear line
of sight by the ATCT to any taxiways or runways under
air traffic control nor obstruct any runway visual aids,
signs, or navigational aids. The FAA must also study
those areas to determine effects on 14 CFR part 77,
Objects Affecting Navigable Airspace, surfaces (see
paragraph 2-13 for further information).
2-7. RADIO COMMUNICATION TRAINING.
The airport operator must ensure that tenant and
construction contractor personnel engaged in activities
involving unescorted operation on aircraft movement
2-9. GENERAL.
AC 150/5370-2E
areas observe the proper procedures for communications,
including using appropriate radio frequencies at airports
with and without ATCTs. Training of contractors on
proper communication procedures is essential for
maintaining airport operational safety. When operating
vehicles on or near open runways or taxiways,
construction personnel must understand the critical
importance of maintaining radio contact with airport
operations, ATCT, or the Common Traffic Advisory
Frequency, which may include UNICOM, MULTICOM,
or one of the FAA Flight Service Stations (FSS), as
directed by airport management.
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. Vehicle drivers must confirm by
personal observation that no aircraft is approaching their
position when given clearance to cross a runway. In
addition, it is the responsibility of the escort vehicle driver
to verify the movement/position of all escorted vehicles at
any given time.
Even though radio communication is maintained, escort
vehicle drivers must also familiarize themselves with
ATCT light gun signals in the event of radio failure (see
the FAA safety placard "Ground Vehicle Guide to Airport
Signs and Markings"). This safety placard may be
ordered through the Runway Safety Program Web site at
http://www.faarsp.org or obtained from the Regional
Airports Division Office.
2-8. FENCING AND GATES.
Airport operators and contractors must take care to
maintain a high level of safety and security during
construction when access points are created in the security
fencing to permit the passage of construction vehicles or
personnel. Temporary gates should be equipped so they
can be securely closed and locked to prevent access by
animals and people (especially minors). Procedures
should be in place to ensure that only authorized persons
and vehicles have access to the AOA and to prohibit
"piggybacking" behind another person or vehicle. The
Department of Transportation (DOT) document
DOT/FAA/AR-00/52, Recommended Security Guidelines
for Airport Planning and Construction, provides more
specific information on fencing. A copy of this document
can be obtained from the Airport Consultants Council,
Airports Council International, or American Association
of Airport Executives.
Section 3. Notification of Construction Activities
In order to maintain the desired levels of operational
safety on airports during construction activities, the safety
plan should contain the notification actions described
below.
•
is
AC 150/5370-2E
2-10. ENSURING PROMPT NOTIFICATIONS.
The airport operator should establish and follow
procedures for the immediate notification of airport users
and the FAA of any conditions adversely affecting the
operational safety of an airport.
2-11. NOTICES TO AIRMEN (NOTAMS).
The airport operator must provide information on closed
or hazardous conditions on airport movement areas to the
FSS so it can issue a NOTAM. 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. Refer to AC 150/5200-28, Notices to
Airmen (NOTAMs) for Airport Operators, and Appendix
4 in this AC for a sample NOTAM form. Only the FAA
may issue or cancel NOTAMs on shutdown or irregular
operation of FAA -owned facilities. Only the airport
operator or an authorized representative may issue or
cancel NOTAMs on airport conditions. (The airport
owner/operator is the only entity that can close or open a
runway.) The airport operator must file and maintain this
list of authorized representatives with the FSS. Any
person having reason to believe that a NOTAM is
missing, incomplete, or inaccurate must notify the airport
operator.
2-12. AIRCRAFT RESCUE AND FIRE
FIGHTING (ARFF) NOTIFICATION.
The safety plan must provide procedures for notifying
ARFF personnel, mutual aid providers, and other
emergency services if construction requires shutting off or
otherwise disrupting any water line or fire hydrant on the
airport or adjoining areas and if contractors work with
hazardous material on the airfield. Notification
procedures must also be developed for notifying ARFF
and all other emergency personnel when the work
performed will close or affect any emergency routes.
Likewise, the procedures must address appropriate
notifications when services are restored.
2-13. NOTIFICATION TO THE FAA.
For certain airport projects, 14 CFR part 77 requires
notification to the FAA. In addition to applications made
for Federally funded construction, 14 CFR part 157,
Notice of Construction, Alteration, Activation, and
1/17/03
Deactivation of Airports, requires that the airport operator
notify the FAA in writing whenever a non -Federally
funded project involves the construction of a new airport;
the construction, realigning, altering, activating, or
abandoning of a runway, landing strip, or associated
taxiway; or the deactivation or abandoning of an entire
airport. Notification involves submitting FAA Form
7480-1, Notice of Landing Area Proposal, to the nearest
FAA Regional Airports Division Office or Airports
District Office.
Also, any person proposing any kind of construction or
alteration of objects that affect navigable airspace, as
defined in 14 CFR part 77 must notify the FAA. This
includes construction equipment and proposed parking
areas for this equipment (i.e., cranes, graders, etc.). FAA
Form 7460-1, Notice of Proposed Construction or
Alteration, can be used for this purpose and submitted to
the FAA Regional Airports Division Office or Airports
District Office. (See AC 70/7460-2, Proposed
Construction or Alteration of Objects that May Affect the
Navigable Airspace.)
If construction operations require a shutdown of an airport
owned NAVAID from service for more than 24 hours or
in excess of 4 hours daily on consecutive days, we
recommend a 45 -day minimum notice prior to facility
shutdown. Coordinate work for a FAA owned NAVAID
shutdown with the local FAA Airways Facilities Office.
In addition, procedures that address unanticipated utility
outages and cable cuts that could impact FAA NAVAIDs
must be addressed.
2-14. WORK SCHEDULING AND
ACCOMPLISHMENT.
Airport operators—or tenants having 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, Predesign, Prebid, and Preconstruction
Conferences for Airport Grant Projects). The airport
operator, tenants, and construction contractors should
integrate operational safety requirements into their
planning and work schedules as early as practical.
Operational safety should be a standing agenda item for
discussion during progress meetings throughout the
project. The contractor and airport operator should carry
out onsite inspections throughout the project and
immediately remedy any deficiencies, whether caused by
negligence, oversight, or project scope change.

CHAPTER 3. SAFETY STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES
Section 1. Runway and Taxiway Safety Areas, Obstacle -Free Zones, and Object -Free Areas
3-1. OVERVIEW.
Airport operators must use these safety guidelines when
preparing plans and specifications for construction
activities in areas that may interfere with aircraft
operations. The safety plan should recognize and address
these standards for each airport construction project.
However, the safety plan must reflect the specific needs
of a particular project, and for this reason, these safety
guidelines should not be incorporated verbatim into
project specifications. For additional guidance on
meeting safety and security requirements, refer to the
planning guide template included in Appendix 3 of this
AC.
3-2. RUNWAY SAFETY AREA (RSA)/
OBSTACLE -FREE ZONE (OFZ).
A runway safety area is the defined surface surrounding
the runway prepared or suitable for reducing the risk of
damage to airplanes in the event of an undershoot,
overshoot, or excursion from the runway (see AC
150/5300-13, Airport Design). Construction activities
within the standard RSA are subject to the following
conditions:
a. Runway edges.
(1) No construction may occur closer than
200 feet (60m) from the runway centerline unless the
runway is closed or restricted to aircraft operations,
requiring an RSA that is equal to the RSA width available
during construction, or 400 feet, whichever is less (see
AC 150/5300-13, Tables 3-1 through 3-3).
(2) Personnel, material, and/or equipment
must not penetrate the OFZ, as defined in AC 150/5300-
13.
(3) The airport operator must coordinate the
construction activity in the RSA as permitted above with
the ATCT and the FAA Regional Airports Division
Office or appropriate Airports District Office and issue a
local NOTAM.
b. Runway ends.
(1) An RSA must be maintained of such
dimensions that it extends beyond the end of the runway a
distance equal to that which existed before construction
activity, unless the runway is closed or restricted to
aircraft operations for which the reduced RSA is adequate
(see AC 150/5300-13). The temporary use of declared
distances and/or partial runway closures may help provide
the necessary RSA.
In addition, 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.' Consult with the
appropriate FAA Regional Airports Division Office or
Airports District Office to determine the appropriate
approach surface required.
(2) Personnel, material, and/or equipment
must not penetrate the OFZ, as defined in AC 150/5300-
13.
(3) The safety plan must provide procedures
for ensuring adequate distance for blast protection, if
required by operational considerations.
(4) The airport operator must coordinate
construction activity in this portion of the RSA with the
ATCT and the FAA Regional Airports Division Office or
appropriate Airports District Office and issue a local
NOTAM.
c. Excavations.
(1) 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.
(2) Open trenches or excavations are not
permitted within 200 feet (60m) of the runway centerline
and at least the existing RSA distance from the runway
threshold while the runway is open. If the runway must
be opened before excavations are backfilled, cover the
excavations appropriately. Coverings for open trenches
or excavations must be of sufficient strength to support
the weight of the heaviest aircraft operating on the
runway.
3-3. TAXIWAY SAFETY AREAS/OBJECT-
FREE AREAS.
a. Unrestricted construction activity is permissible
adjacent to taxiways when the taxiway is restricted to
aircraft such that the available taxiway safety area is equal
'If a full safety area cannot be obtained through declared
distances and partial closures, or other methods such as alternate
runway use, construction activity may operate in the RSA as
long as conditions cited in paragraph 3-lb(2) thru (4) are met. In
addition, various surfaces outlined in AC 150/5300-13 and
Terminal Instrument Procedures (TERPS) must be protected
through an aeronautical study.
7
AC 150/5370-2E
to at least % of the widest wingspan of the aircraft
expected to use the taxiway and the available taxiway
object -free area is equal to at least .7 times the widest
wingspan plus 10 feet. (See AC 150/5300-13 for
guidance on taxiway safety and object -free areas.)
Construction activity may be accomplished closer to a
taxiway, subject to the following restrictions:
(1) The activity is first coordinated with the
airport operator.
(2) Appropriate NOTAMs are issued.
(3) Marking and lighting meeting the
provisions of paragraph 3-9 are implemented.
(4) Adequate clearance is maintained between
equipment and materials and any part of an aircraft. If
such clearance can only be maintained if an aircraft does
not have full use of the entire taxiway width (with its
3-4. OVERVIEW.
1/17/03
main landing gear at the edge of the pavement), then it
will be necessary to move personnel and equipment for
each passing aircraft. In these situations, flag persons will
be used to direct construction equipment, and wing
walkers may be necessary to guide aircraft. Wing walkers
should be airline/aviation personnel rather than
construction workers.
b. Construction contractors must prominently mark
open trenches and excavations at the construction site, as
approved by the airport operator, and light them with red
lights during hours of restricted visibility or darkness
c. Excavations and open trenches may be permitted
up to the edge of a structural taxiway and apron pavement
provided the dropoff is marked and lighted per paragraph
3-9, "Hazard Marking and Lighting."
Section 2. Temporary Runway Thresholds
Construction activity in a runway approach area may
result in the need to partially close a runway or displace
the existing runway threshold. In either case, locate the
threshold in accordance with Appendix 2 of AC
150/5300-13, Airport Design. Objects that do not
.penetrate these surfaces may still be obstructions to air
navigation and may affect standard instrument approach
procedures. Coordinate these objects with the FAA's
Regional Airports Office or appropriate Airports District
Office, as necessary. Refer to the current edition of AC
150/5300-13 for guidance on threshold siting
requirements. The partial runway closure, the
displacement of the runway threshold, as well as closures
of the complete runway and other portions of the
movement area also requires coordination with
appropriate ATCT personnel and airport users.
Caution regarding partial runway closures: When
filing a NOTAM for a partial runway closure, clearly state
to FSS 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).
Example NOTAM: "North 1,000 feet of Runway 18/36 is
closed; 7,000 feet remain available on Runway 18 and
Runway 36 for arrivals and departures." There may be
situations where the portion of closed runway is available
for taxiing only. If so, the NOTAM must reflect this
condition.
Caution regarding displaced thresholds:
Implementation of a displaced threshold affects runway
length available for aircraft landing over the
displacement. Depending on the reason for the
displacement (to provide obstruction clearance or RSA),
such a displacement may also require an adjustment in the
landing distance available and accelerate -stop distance
available in the opposite direction. If project scope
includes personnel, equipment, excavation, etc. within the
RSA of any usable runway end, we do not recommend a
displaced threshold unless arrivals and departures toward
the construction activity are prohibited. Instead,
implement a partial closure.
3-5. MARKING GUIDELINES FOR
TEMPORARY THRESHOLD.
Ensure that markings for temporary displaced thresholds
are clearly visible to pilots approaching the airport to
land. When construction personnel and equipment are
located close to any threshold, a temporary visual
NAVAID, such as runway end identifier lights (REIL),
may be required (even on unlighted runways) to define
the new beginning of the runway clearly. A visual
vertical guidance device, such as a visual approach slope
indicator (VAST), pulse light approach slope indicator
(PLASI), or precision approach path indicator (PAPI),
may be necessary to assure landing clearance over
personnel, vehicles, equipment, and/or above -grade
stockpiled materials. If such devices are installed, ensure
an appropriate descriptive NOTAM is issued to inform
pilots of these conditions. The current edition of AC
150/5340-1, Standards for Airport Markings, describes
standard marking colors and layouts. In addition, we
recommend that a temporary runway threshold be marked
using the following guidelines:
a. Airport markings must be clearly visible to
pilots; not misleading, confusing, or deceptive; secured in
place to prevent movement by prop wash, jet blast, wing
vortices, or other wind currents; and constructed of
•
•

1/17/03
materials that would minimize damage to an aircraft in
the event of inadvertent contact.
(1) Pavement markings for temporary closed
portions of the runway should consist of yellow chevrons
to identify pavement areas that are unsuitable for
takeoff/landing (see AC 150/5340-1). If unable to paint
the markings on the pavement, construct them from any
of the following materials: double -layered painted snow
fence, colored plastic, painted sheets of plywood, or
similar materials. They must be properly configured and
secured to prevent movement by prop wash, jet blast, or
other wind currents.
(2) It may be necessary to remove or cover
runway markings, such as runway designation markings
and aiming point markings, depending on the length of
construction and type of activity at the airport.
(3) When threshold markings are needed to
identify the temporary beginning of the runway that is
available for landing, use a white threshold bar of the
dimensions specified in AC 150/5340-1.
(4) If temporary outboard elevated or flush
threshold bars are used, locate them outside of the runway
pavement surface, one on each side of the runway. They
should be at least 10 feet (3m) in width and extend
outboard from each side of the runway so they are clearly
visible to landing and departing aircraft. These threshold
bars are white. If the white threshold bars are not
discernable on grass or snow, apply a black background
with appropriate material over the ground to ensure the
markings are clearly visible.
(5) A temporary threshold may also be
marked with the use of retroreflective, elevated markers.
One side of such markers is green to denote the approach
end of the runway; the side that is seen by pilots on
rollout is red. See AC 150/5345-39, FAA Specification L-
853, Runway and Taxiway Retroreflective Markers.
(6) At 14 CFR part 139 certificated airports,
temporary elevated threshold markers must be mounted
with a frangible fitting (see 14 CFR part 139.309).
However, at noncertificated airports, the temporary
elevated threshold markings may either be mounted with
a frangible fitting or be flexible. See AC 150/5345-39.
b. The application rate of the paint to mark a short-
term temporary runway threshold may deviate from the
standard (see Item P-620, "Runway and Taxiway
Painting," in AC 150/5370-10, Standards for Specifying
Construction of Airports), but the dimensions must meet
the existing standards, unless coordinated with the
appropriate offices.
c. When a runway is partially closed, the distance
remaining signs for aircraft landing in the opposite
direction should be covered or removed during the
construction.
AC 150/5370-2E
3-6. LIGHTING GUIDELINES FOR
TEMPORARY THRESHOLD.
A temporary runway threshold must be lighted if the
runway is lighted and it is the intended threshold for night
landings or instrument meteorological conditions. We
recommend that temporary threshold lights and related
visual NAVAIDs be installed outboard of the edges of the
full-strength pavement with bases at grade level or as low
as possible, but not to exceed 3 inches (7.6cm) above
ground. When any portion of a base is above grade, place
properly compacted fill around the base to minimize the
rate of gradient change so aircraft can, in an emergency,
cross at normal landing or takeoff speeds without
incurring significant damage (see AC 150/5370-10). We
recommend that the following be observed when using
temporary runway threshold lighting:
a. Maintain threshold and edge lighting color and
spacing standards as described in AC 150/5340-24,
Runway and Taxiway Edge Lighting System.
Battery -powered, solar, or portable lights that meet the
criteria in AC 150/5345-50, Specification for Portable
Runway Lights, may be used. These systems are intended
primarily for visual flight rules (VFR) aircraft operation
but may be used for instrument flight rules (IFR) aircraft
operations, upon individual approval from the Flight
Standards Division of the applicable FAA Regional
Office.
b. When the runway has been partially closed,
disconnect edge and threshold lights with associated
isolation transformers on that part of the runway at and
behind the threshold (i.e., the portion of the runway that is
closed). Alternately, cover the light fixture in such a way
as to prevent light leakage. Avoid removing the lamp
from energized fixtures because an excessive number of
isolation transformers with open secondaries may damage
the regulators and/or increase the current above its normal
value.
c. Secure, identify, and place any temporary
exposed wiring in conduit to prevent electrocution and
fire ignition sources.
d. 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.
e. Relocate the visual glide slope indicator (VGSI),
such as VASI and PAPI; other airport lights, such as
REIL; and approach lights to identify the temporary
threshold. Another option is to disable the VGSI or any
equipment that would give misleading indications to
pilots as to the new threshold location. Installation of
temporary visual aids may be necessary to provide
adequate guidance to pilots on approach to the affected
runway. If the FAA owns and operates the VGSI,
i7
AC 150/5370-2E
coordinate its installation or disabling with the local
Airway Facilities Systems Management Office.
3-7. OVERVIEW.
1/17/03
L Issue a NOTAM to inform pilots of temporary
lighting conditions.
Section 3. Other Construction Marking and Lighting Activities
Ensure that construction areas, including closed runways,
are clearly and visibly separated from movement areas
and that hazards, facilities, cables, and power lines are
identified prominently for construction contractors.
Throughout the duration of the construction project,
verify that these areas remain clearly marked and visible
at all times and that marking and lighting aids remain in
place and operational. Routine inspections must be made
of temporary construction lighting, especially battery -
powered lighting since weather conditions can limit
battery life.
3-8. CLOSED RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY
MARKING AND LIGHTING.
Closed runway markings consist of a yellow "X" in
compliance with the standards of AC 150/5340-1,
Standards for Airport Markings. Avery effective and
preferable visual aid to depict temporary closure is the
lighted "X" signal placed on or near the runway
designation numbers. This device is much more
•discernible to approaching aircraft than the other
materials described. If the lighted "X" is not available,
construct the marking of any of the following materials:
double -layered painted snow fence, colored plastic,
painted sheets of plywood, or similar materials. They
must be properly configured and secured to prevent
movement by prop wash, jet blast, or other wind currents.
In addition, the airport operator may install barricades,
traffic cones, activate stop bars, or other acceptable visual
devices at major entrances to the runways to prevent
aircraft from entering a closed portion of runway. The
placement of even a single reflective barricade with a "do
not enter" sign on a taxiway centerline can prevent an
aircraft from continuing onto a closed runway. If the
taxiway must remain open for aircraft crossings,
barricades or markings, as described above or in
paragraph 3-9, should be placed on the runway.
11
a. Permanently closed runways.
For runways and taxiways that have been permanently
closed, disconnect the lighting circuits. For runways,
obliterate the threshold marking, runway designation
marking, and touchdown zone markings, and place "X's" at
each end and at 1,000 -foot (300-m) intervals. For taxiways,
place an "X" at the entrance of the closed taxiway.
10
b. Temporarily closed runway and taxiways.
For runways that have been temporarily closed, place an
"X" at the each end of the runway. With taxiways, place
an "X" at the entrance of the closed taxiway.
c. Temporarily closed airport.
When the airport is closed temporarily, mark the runways
as closed and turn off the airport beacon.
d. Permanently closed airports
When the airport is closed permanently, mark the
runways as permanently closed, disconnect the airport
beacon, and place an "X" in the segmented circle or at a
central location if no segmented circle exists.
3-9. HAZARD MARKING AND LIGHTING.
Provide prominent, comprehensible warning indicators
for any area affected by construction that is normally
accessible to aircraft, personnel, or vehicles. Using
appropriate hazard marking and lighting may prevent
damage, injury, traffic delays, and/or facility closures.
Hazard marking and lighting must restrict access and
make specific hazards obvious to pilots, vehicle drivers,
and other personnel. Barricades, traffic cones (weighted
or sturdily attached to the surface), or flashers are
acceptable methods used to identify and define the limits
of construction and hazardous areas on airports.
Provide temporary hazard marking and lighting to prevent
aircraft from taxiing onto a closed runway for takeoff and
to identify open manholes, small areas under repair,
stockpiled material, and waste areas. Also consider less
obvious construction -related hazards and include
markings to identify FAA, airport, and National Weather
Service facilities cables and power lines; instrument
landing system (ILS) critical areas; airport surfaces, such
as RSA, OFA, and OFZ; and other sensitive areas to make
it easier for contractor personnel to avoid these areas.
The construction specifications must include a provision
requiring the contractor to have a person on call 24 hours
a day for emergency maintenance of airport hazard
lighting and barricades. The contractor must file the
contact person's information with the airport.
a. Nonmovement areas.
Indicate construction locations on nonmovement areas in
which no part of an aircraft may enter by using barricades
that are marked with diagonal, alternating orange and white
stripes. Barricades may be supplemented with alternating
r�
L
•
•
1/17/03
orange and white flags at least 20 by 20 inches (50 by 50
cm) square and made and installed so they are always in an
extended position, properly oriented, and securely fastened
to eliminate jet engine ingestion. Such barricades may be
many different shapes and made from various materials,
including railroad ties, sawhorses, jersey barriers, or
barrels. During reduced visibility or night hours,
supplement the barricades with red lights, either flashing or
steady -burning, which should meet the luminance
requirements of the State Highway Department (yellow
lights are not acceptable after October 1, 2004). The
intensity of the lights and spacing for barricade flags and
lights must adequately and without ambiguity delineate the
hazardous area.
b. Movement areas.
Use orange traffic cones; red lights, either flashing or
steady -burning, which should meet the luminance
requirements of the State Highway Department (yellow
lights are not acceptable after October 1, 2004);
collapsible barricades marked with diagonal, alternating
orange and white stripes; and/or signs to separate all
construction/maintenance areas from the movement area.
All barricades, temporary markers, and other objects
placed and left in safety areas associated with any open
runway, taxiway, or taxilane must be as low as possible to
the ground; 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 inches (7.6cm) above the ground. Do not use
nonfrangible hazard markings, such as concrete barriers
and/or metal -drum -type barricades, in aircraft movement
areas. Do not use railroad ties on runways.
Use highly reflective barriers with flashing or steady -
burning red lights to barricade taxiways leading to closed
runways. Evaluate all operating factors when determining
how to mark temporary closures that can last from 10 to
15 minutes to a much longer period of time. However,
we strongly recommend that, even for closures of
relatively short duration, major taxiway/runway
intersections be identified with barricades spaced no
greater than 20 feet (6m) apart. Mark the barricades with
a flashing or steady -burning red light. At a minimum, use
a single barricade placed on the taxiway centerline.
3-10. CONSTRUCTION NEAR NAVIGATIONAL
AIDS (NAVAIDS).
Construction activities, materials/equipment storage, and
vehicle parking near electronic NAVAIDs require special
consideration since they may interfere with signals
essential to air navigation. Evaluate the effect of
construction activity and the required distance and
direction from the NAVAID for each construction project.
Pay particular attention to stockpiling material, as well as
AC 150/5370-2E
to movement and parking of equipment that may interfere
with line of sight from the ATCT or with electronic
emissions. Interference from construction may require
NAVAID shutdown or adjustment of instrument approach
minimums for IFR. This condition requires that a
NOTAM be filed. Construction activities and
materials/equipment storage near a NAVAID may also
obstruct access to the equipment and instruments for
maintenance. Before commencing construction activity,
parking vehicles, or storing construction equipment and
materials near a NAVAID, consult with the nearest FAA
Airway Facilities Office.
3-11. CONSTRUCTION SITE ACCESS AND
HAUL ROADS.
Determine the construction contractor's access to the
construction sites and haul roads. Do not permit the
construction contractor to use any access or haul roads
other than those approved. Construction contractors must
submit specific proposed routes associated with
construction activities to the airport operator for
evaluation and approval as part of the safety plan before
beginning construction activities. These proposed routes
must also provide specifications to prevent inadvertent
entry to movement areas. Pay special attention to ensure
that ARFF right of way on access and haul roads is not
impeded at any time and that construction traffic on haul
roads does not interfere with NAVAIDs or approach
surfaces of operational runways.
3-12. CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL
STOCKPILING.
Stockpiled materials and equipment storage are not
permitted within the RSA and OFZ of an operational
runway. The airport operator must ensure that stockpiled
materials and equipment adjacent to these areas are
prominently marked and lighted during hours of restricted
visibility or darkness. This includes determining and
verifying that materials are stored at an approved location
to prevent foreign object damage and attraction of wildlife.
3-13. OTHER LIMITATIONS ON
CONSTRUCTION.
Contractors may not use open -flame welding or torches
unless adequate fire safety precautions are provided and
the airport operator has approved their use. Under no
circumstances should flare pots be used within the AOA
at any time. The use of electrical blasting caps must not
be permitted on or within 1,000 feet (300m) of the airport
property (see AC 150/5370-10, Standards for Specking
Construction of Airports).
11
AC 150/5370-2E
3-14. 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
3-15. OVERVIEW.
1/17/03
not leave or place FOD on or near active aircraft
movement areas. Materials tracked onto these areas must
be continuously removed during the construction project.
We also recommend that airport operators and
construction contractors carefully control and
continuously remove waste or loose materials that might
attract wildlife.
Section 4. Safety Hazards and Impacts
The situations identified below are potentially hazardous
conditions that may occur during airport construction
projects. Safety area encroachments, unauthorized and
improper ground vehicle operations, and unmarked or
uncovered holes and trenches near aircraft operating
surfaces pose the most prevalent threats to airport
operational safety during airport construction projects.
Airport operators and contractors should consider the
following when performing inspections of construction
activity:
a. Excavation adjacent to runways, taxiways, and
aprons.
b. Mounds of earth, construction materials,
temporary structures, and other obstacles near any open
.runway, taxiway, or taxilane; in the related object -free
area and aircraft approach or departure areas/zones; or
obstructing any sign or marking.
c. Runway resurfacing projects resulting in lips
exceeding 3 inches (7.6cm) from pavement edges and
ends.
d. Heavy equipment (stationary or mobile)
operating or idle near AOAs, in runway approaches and
departures areas, or in OFZs.
e. Equipment or material near NAVAIDs that may
degrade or impair radiated signals and/or the monitoring
of navigational and visual aids. Unauthorized or
improper vehicle operations in localizer or glide slope
critical areas, resulting in electronic interference and/or
facility shutdown.
L Tall and especially relatively low -visibility units
(i.e., equipment with slim profiles)—cranes, drills, and
similar objects—located in critical areas, such as OFZs
and approach zones.
g. Improperly positioned or malfunctioning lights
or unlighted airport hazards, such as holes or excavations,
on any apron, open taxiway, or open taxilane or in a
related safety, approach, or departure area.
. h. Obstacles, loose pavement, trash, and other
debris on or near AOAs. Construction debris (gravel,
12
sand, mud, paving materials, etc.) on airport pavements
may result in aircraft propeller, turbine engine, or tire
damage. Also, loose materials may blow about,
potentially causing personal injury or equipment damage.
i. Inappropriate or poorly maintained fencing
during construction intended to deter human and animal
intrusions into the AOA. Fencing and other markings that
are inadequate to separate construction areas from open
AOAs create aviation hazards.
j. Improper or inadequate marking or lighting of
runways (especially thresholds that have been displaced
or runways that have been closed) and taxiways that could
cause pilot confusion and provide a potential for a runway
incursion. Inadequate or improper methods of marking,
barricading, and lighting of temporarily closed portions of
AOAs create aviation hazards.
k. Wildlife attractants—such as trash (food scraps
not collected from construction personnel activity), grass
seeds, or ponded water—on or near airports.
1. Obliterated or faded markings on active
operational areas.
m. Misleading or malfunctioning obstruction lights.
Unlighted or unmarked obstructions in the approach to
any open runway pose aviation hazards.
n. Failure to issue, update, or cancel NOTAMs
about airport or runway closures or other
construction -related airport conditions.
o. Failure to mark and identify utilities or power
cables. Damage to utilities and power cables during
construction activity can result in the loss of
runway/taxiway lighting; loss of navigational, visual, or
approach aids; disruption of weather reporting services;
and/or loss of communications.
p. Restrictions on ARFF access from fire stations to
the runway -taxiway system or airport buildings.
q. Lack of radio communications with construction
vehicles in airport movement areas.
r. Objects, regardless of whether they are marked
or flagged, or activities anywhere on or near an airport
1/17/03
that could be distracting, confusing, or alarming to pilots
isduring aircraft operations.
s. Water, snow, dirt, debris, or other contaminants
that temporarily obscure or derogate the visibility of
runway/taxiway marking, lighting, and pavement edges.
Any condition or factor that obscures or diminishes the
visibility of areas under construction.
t. Spillage from vehicles (gasoline, diesel fuel, oil,
etc.) on active pavement areas, such as runways,
taxiways, ramps, and airport roadways.
AC 150/5370-2E
v. Failure to provide for proper electrical lockout
and tagging procedures. At larger airports with multiple
maintenance shifts/workers, construction contractors
should make provisions for coordinating work on circuits.
w. Failure to control dust. Consider limiting the
amount of area from which the contractor is allowed to
strip turf.
x. Exposed wiring that creates an electrocution or
fire ignition hazard. Identify and secure wiring, and place
it in conduit or bury it.
y. Site burning, which can cause possible
u. Failure to maintain drainage system integrity obscuration.
during construction (e.g., no temporary drainage provided
when working on a drainage system). z. Construction work taking place outside of
designated work areas and out of phase.

APPENDIX 3. AIRPORT CONSTRUCTION SAFETY PLANNING GUIDE
Aviation Safety Requirements During Construction
PURPOSE. This appendix provides airport operators
with boilerplate format and language for developing a
safety plan for an airport construction project. Adapt this
appendix, as applicable, to specific conditions found on
the airport for which the plan is being developed.
Consider including a copy of this safety plan in the
construction drawings for easy access by contractor
personnel. Plans should contain thefollowing:
1. GENERAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS.
Throughout the construction project, the following safety
and operational practices should be observed:
• Operational safety should be a standing agenda
item during progress meetings throughout the
construction project.
• The contractor and airport operator must perform
onsite inspections throughout the project, with
immediate remedy of any deficiencies, whether
caused by negligence, oversight, or project scope
change.
• Airport runways and taxiways should remain in
use by aircraft to the maximum extent possible.
• Aircraft use of areas near the contractor's work
should be controlled to minimize disturbance to
the contractor's operation.
• Contractor, subcontractor, and supplier
employees or any unauthorized persons must be
restricted from entering an airport area that
would be hazardous.
• Construction that is within the safety area of an
active runway, taxiway, or apron that is
performed under normal operational conditions
must be performed when the runway, taxiway, or
apron is closed or use -restricted and initiated
only with prior permission from the airport
operator.
• The contracting officer, airport operator, or other
designated airport representative may order the
contractor to suspend operations; move
personnel, equipment, and materials to a safe
location; and stand by until aircraft use is
completed.
2. CONSTRUCTION MAINTENANCE AND
FACILITIES MAINTENANCE.
Before beginning any construction activity, the contractor
must, through the airport operator, give notice [using the
Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) System] of proposed
location, time, and date of commencement of
construction. Upon completion of work and return of all
such areas to standard conditions, the contractor must,
through the airport operator, verify the cancellation of all
notices issued via the NOTAM System. Throughout the
duration of the construction project, the contractor must—
a. Be aware of and understand the safety problems
and hazards described in AC 150/5370-2, Operational
Safety on Airports During Construction.
b. Conduct activities so as not to violate any safety
standards contained in AC 150/5370-2 or any of the
references therein.
c. Inspect all construction and storage areas as
often as necessary to be aware of conditions.
d. Promptly take all actions necessary to prevent or
remedy any unsafe or potentially unsafe conditions as
soon as they are discovered.
3. APPROACH CLEARANCE TO RUNWAYS.
Runway thresholds must provide an unobstructed
approach surface over equipment and materials. (Refer to
Appendix 2 in AC 150/5300-13, Airport Design, for
guidance in this area.)
4. RUNWAY AND TAXIWAY SAFETY AREA
(RSA AND TSA).
Limit construction to outside of the approved RSA, as
shown on the approved airport layout plan—unless the
runway is closed or restricted to aircraft operations,
requiring a lesser standard RSA that is equal to the RSA
available during construction (see AC 150/5370-2 for
exceptions). Construction activity within the TSA is
permissible when the taxiway is open to aircraft traffic if
adequate wingtip clearance exists between the aircraft and
equipment/material; evacuations, trenches, or other
conditions are conspicuously marked and lighted; and
local NOTAMs are in effect for the activity (see AC
150/5300-13 for wingtip clearance requirements). The
NOTAM should state that, "personnel and equipment are
working adjacent to Taxiway

fences and other loose or projecting material from the designated areas. The grubbing of stumps and
roots will not be required.
Clearing, when so designated, shall consist of the cutting and removal of isolated single trees or isolated
groups of trees. The cutting of all the trees of this classification shall be in accordance with the
requirements for the particular area being cleared, or as shown on the plans, or as directed by the
Engineer. The trees shall be considered isolated when they are 40 feet (12 m) or more apart, with the
exception of a small clump of approximately five trees or less.
Clearing and grubbing shall consist of clearing the surface of the ground of the designated areas of all
trees, stumps, down timber, logs, snags, brush, undergrowth, hedges, heavy growth of grass or weeds,
fences, structures, debris, and rubbish of any nature, natural obstructions or such material which in the
opinion of the Engineer is unsuitable for the foundation of strips, pavements, or other required structures,
including the grubbing of stumps, roots, matted roots, foundations, and the disposal from the project of all
spoil materials resulting from clearing and grubbing by burning or otherwise.
• CONSTRUCTION METHODS
151-2.1 GENERAL. The areas denoted on the plans to be cleared or cleared and grubbed shall be
staked on the ground by the Engineer. The clearing and grubbing shall be done at a satisfactory distance
in advance of the grading operations.
•
All spoil materials removed by clearing or by clearing and grubbing shall be disposed of by burning,
when permitted by local laws, or by removal to approved disposal areas. When burning of material is
permitted, it shall be burned under the constant care of competent watchmen so that the surrounding
vegetation and other adjacent property will not be jeopardized. Burning shall be done in accordance with
all applicable laws, ordinances, and regulations. Before starting any burning operations, the Contractor
shall notify the agency having jurisdiction.
As far as practicable, waste concrete and masonry shall be placed on slopes of embankments or channels.
When embankments are constructed of such material, this material shall be placed in accordance with
requirements for formation of embankments. Any broken concrete or masonry that cannot be used in
construction, and all other materials not considered suitable for use elsewhere, shall be disposed of by the
Contractor. In no case shall any discarded materials be left in windrows or piles adjacent to or within the
airport limits. The manner and location of disposal of materials shall be subject to the approval of the
Engineer and shall not create an unsightly or objectionable view. When the Contractor is required to
locate a disposal area outside the airport property limits at his/her own expense, he shall obtain and file
with the Engineer, permission in writing from the property owner for the use of private property for this
purpose.

If the plans or the specifications require the saving of merchantable timber, the Contractor shall trim the
limbs and tops from designated trees, saw them into suitable lengths, and make the material available for
removal by other agencies.
Any blasting necessary shall be done at the Contractor's responsibility, and the utmost care shall be taken
not to endanger life or property.
The removal of existing structure and utilities required to permit orderly progress of work shall be
accomplished by local agencies, unless otherwise shown on the plans. Whenever a telephone or telegraph
pole, pipeline, conduit, sewer, roadway, or other utility is encountered and must be removed or relocated,
the Contractor shall advise the Engineer who will notify the proper local authority or owner and attempt
to secure prompt action.
151-2.2 CLEARING. The Contractor shall clear the staked or indicated area of all objectionable
materials. Trees unavoidably falling outside the specified limits must be cut up, removed, and disposed
of in a satisfactory manner. In order to minimize damage to trees that are to be left standing, trees shall
be felled toward the center of area being cleared. The Contractor shall preserve and protect from injury
all trees not to be removed. The trees, stumps, and brush shall be cut to a height of not more than 12
inches (300 mm) above the ground. The grubbing of stumps and roots will not be required.
When isolated trees are designated for clearing, the trees shall be classed in accordance with the butt
diameter size as measured at a point 18 inches (45 cm) above the ground level or at a designated height
specified in the proposal.
• Fences shall be removed and disposed of when directed by the Engineer. Fence wire shall be neatly
rolled and the wire and posts stored on the airport if they are to be used again, or stored at a designated
location if the fence is to remain the property of a local owner or of a civic authority.

When the Contractor's excavating operations encounter artifacts of historical or archaeological
significance, the operations shall be temporarily discontinued. At the direction of the Engineer, the
Contractor shall excavate the site in such a manner as to preserve the artifacts encountered and allow for
their removal. Such excavation will be paid for as extra work.
Those areas outside of the pavement areas in which the top layer of soil material has become compacted,
by hauling or other activities of the Contractor shall be scarified and disked to a depth of 4 inches (100
mm), in order to loosen and pulverize the soil.
If it is necessary to interrupt existing surface drainage, sewers or under -drainage, conduits, utilities, or
similar underground structures, the Contractor shall be responsible for and shall take all necessary
precautions to preserve them or provide temporary services. When such facilities are encountered, the
Contractor shall notify the Engineer, who shall arrange for their removal if necessary. The Contractor
shall, at his/her own expense, satisfactorily repair or pay the cost of all damage to such facilities or
structures that may result from any of the Contractor's operations during the period of the contract.

152-2.2 EXCAVATION. No excavation shall be started until the work has been staked out by the
Contractor and the Engineer has obtained elevations and measurements of the ground surface. All
suitable excavated material shall be used in the formation of embankment, subgrade, or for other purposes
shown on the plans. All unsuitable material shall be disposed of as shown on the plans.
When the volume of the excavation exceeds that required to construct the embankments to the grades
indicated, the excess shall be used to grade the areas of ultimate development or disposed of as directed.
When the volume of excavation is not sufficient for constructing the fill to the grades indicated, the
deficiency shall be obtained from borrow areas.
The grade shall be maintained so that the surface is well drained at all times. When necessary, temporary
drains and drainage ditches shall be installed to intercept or divert surface water that may affect the work.
a. Selective Grading. When selective grading is indicated on the plans, the more suitable material
as designated by the Engineer shall be used in constructing the embankment or in capping the pavement
subgrade. If, at the time of excavation, it is not possible to place this material in its final location, it shall
be stockpiled in approved areas so that it can be measured for payment for rehandling as specified in
paragraph 3.3.
b. Undercutting. Rock, shale, hardpan, loose rock, boulders, or other material unsatisfactory for
safety areas, subgrades, roads, shoulders, or any areas intended for turfing shall be excavated to a
minimum depth of 12 inches (300 mm), or to the depth specified by the Engineer, below the subgrade.
Muck, peat, matted roots, or other yielding material, unsatisfactory for subgrade foundation, shall be
removed to the depth specified. Unsuitable materials shall be disposed of at locations shown on the
• plans. This excavated material shall be paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard (per cubic meter)
for unclassified excavation. The excavated area shall be refilled with suitable material obtained from the
grading operations or borrow areas and compacted to specified densities. The necessary refilling will
constitute a part of the embankment. Where rock cuts are made and refilled with selected material, any
pockets created in the rock surface shall be drained in accordance with the details shown on the plans.
•
c. Overbreak. Overbreak, including slides, is that portion of any material displaced or loosened
beyond the finished work as planned or authorized by the Engineer. The Engineer shall determine if the
displacement of such material was unavoidable and his/her decision shall be final. All overbreak shall be
graded or removed by the Contractor and disposed of as directed; however, payment will not be made for
the removal and disposal of overbreak that the Engineer determines as avoidable. Unavoidable overbreak
will be classified as "Unclassified Excavation."
d. Removal of Utilities. The removal of existing structures and utilities required to permit the
orderly progress of work will be accomplished by someone other than the Contractor, e.g., the utility
unless otherwise shown on the plans. All existing foundations shall be excavated for at least 2 feet (60
cm) below the top of subgrade or as indicated on the plans, and the material disposed of as directed. All
foundations thus excavated shall be backfilled with suitable material and compacted as specified herein.
e. Compaction Requirements. The subgrade under areas to be paved shall be compacted to a
depth of 12 inches and to a density of not less than 100 percent of the maximum density as determined by
ASTM D698. The material to be compacted shall be within +/- 2 percent of optimum moisture content
before rolled to obtain the prescribed compaction (except for expansive soils).
The in-place field density shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 1556 or ASTM D 2167.
Stones or rock fragments larger than 4 inches (100 mm) in their greatest dimension will not be permitted
Construct Taxiway D Excavation and Embankment
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
P-152 - 2
in the top 6 inches (150 mm) of the subgrade. The finished grading operations, conforming to the typical
cross section, shall be completed and maintained at least 1,000 feet (300 m) ahead of the paving
operations or as directed by the Engineer.
In cuts, all loose or protruding rocks on the back slopes shall be barred loose or otherwise removed to line
of finished grade of slope. All cut -and -fill slopes shall be uniformly dressed to the slope, cross section,
and alignment shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.
Blasting will be permitted only when proper precautions are taken for the safety of all persons, the work,
and the property. All damage done to the work or property shall be repaired at the Contractor's expense.
All operations of the Contractor in connection with the transportation, storage, and use of explosives shall
conform to all state and local regulations and explosive manufacturers' instructions, with applicable
approved permits reviewed by the Engineer. Any approval given, however, will not relieve the
Contractor of his/her responsibility in blasting operations.
Where blasting is approved, the Contractor shall employ a vibration consultant, approved by the
Engineer, to advise on explosive charge weights per delay and to analyze records from seismograph
recordings. The seismograph shall be capable of producing a permanent record of the three components
of the motion in terms of particle velocity, and in addition shall be capable of internal dynamic
calibration.
In each distinct blasting area, where pertinent factors affecting blast vibrations and their effects in the area
remain the same, the Contractor shall submit a blasting plan of the initial blasts to the Engineer for
approval. This plan must consist of hole size, depth, spacing, burden, type of explosives, type of delay
• sequence, maximum amount of explosive on any one delay period, depth of rock, and depth of
overburden if any. The maximum explosive charge weights per delay included in the plan shall not be
increased without the approval of the engineering.
•
The Contractor shall keep a record of each blast fired—its date, time and location; the amount of
explosives used, maximum explosive charge weight per delay period, and, where necessary, seismograph
records identified by instrument number and location.
These records shall be made available to the Engineer on a monthly basis or in tabulated form at other
times as required.
152-2.3 BORROW EXCAVATION. Borrow area(s) within the airport property are indicated on the
plans. Borrow excavation shall be made only at these designated locations and within the horizontal and
vertical limits as staked or as directed.
When borrow sources are outside the boundaries of the airport property, it shall be the Contractor's
responsibility to locate and obtain the supply, subject to the approval of the Engineer. The Contractor
shall notify the Engineer, at least 15 days prior to beginning the excavation, so necessary measurements
and tests can be made. All unsuitable material shall be disposed of by the Contractor. All borrow pits
shall be opened up to expose the vertical face of various strata of acceptable material to enable obtaining a
uniform product. Borrow pits shall be excavated to regular lines to permit accurate measurements, and
they shall be drained and left in a neat, presentable condition with all slopes dressed uniformly.
152-2.4 DRAINAGE EXCAVATION. Drainage excavation shall consist of excavating for drainage
ditches such as intercepting; inlet or outlet, for temporary levee construction; or for any other type as
designed or as shown on the plans. The work shall be performed in the proper sequence with the other
Construct Taxiway D Excavation and Embankment
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
P-152-3
construction. All satisfactory material shall be placed in fills; unsuitable material shall be placed in waste
areas or as directed. Intercepting ditches shall be constructed prior to starting adjacent excavation
operations. All necessary work shall be performed to secure a finish true to line, elevation, and cross
section.
The Contractor shall maintain ditches constructed on the project to the required cross section and shall
keep them free of debris or obstructions until the project is accepted.
152-2.5 PREPARATION OF EMBANKMENT AREA. Where an embankment is to be constructed to
a height of 4 feet (120 cm) or less, all sod and vegetable matter shall be removed from the surface upon
which the embankment is to be placed, and the cleared surface shall be completely broken up by plowing
or scarifying to a minimum depth of 6 inches (150 mm). This area shall then be compacted as indicated
in paragraph 2.6. When the height of fill is greater than 4 feet (120 cm), sod not required to be removed
shall be thoroughly disked and recompacted to the density of the surrounding ground before construction
of embankment.
No direct payment shall be made for the work performed under this section. The necessary clearing and
grubbing and the quantity of excavation removed will be paid for under the respective items of work.
152-2.6 FORMATION OF EMBANKMENTS. Embankments shall be formed in successive
horizontal layers of not more than 8 inches (200 mm) in loose depth for the full width of the cross section,
unless otherwise approved by the Engineer.
• The grading operations shall be conducted, and the various soil strata shall be placed, to produce a soil
structure as shown on the typical cross section or as directed. Materials such as brush, hedge, roots,
stumps, grass and other organic matter, shall not be incorporated or buried in the embankment.
•
Operations on earthwork shall be suspended at any time when satisfactory results cannot be obtained
because of rain, freezing, or other unsatisfactory conditions of the field. The Contractor shall drag, blade,
or slope the embankment to provide proper surface drainage.
The material in the layer shall be within +/-2 percent of optimum moisture content before rolling to obtain
the prescribed compaction. In order to achieve a uniform moisture content throughout the layer, wetting
or drying of the material and manipulation shall be required when necessary. Should the material be too
wet to permit proper compaction or rolling, all work on all of the affected portions of the embankment
shall be delayed until the material has dried to the required moisture content. Sprinkling of dry material
to obtain the proper moisture content shall be done with approved equipment that will sufficiently
distribute the water. Sufficient equipment to furnish the required water shall be available at all times.
Samples of all embankment materials for testing, both before and after placement and compaction, will be
taken for each 500 cubic yards of material placed per layer. Based on these tests, the Contractor shall
make the necessary corrections and adjustments in methods, materials or moisture content in order to
achieve the correct embankment density.
Rolling operations shall be continued until the embankment is compacted to not less than 95 percent of
maximum density for noncohesive soils, and 90 percent of maximum density for cohesive soils as
determined by ASTM D 698 Under all areas to be paved, the embankments shall be compacted to a depth
of 12 inches and to a density of not less than 100 percent of the maximum density as determined by
ASTM D698
Construct Taxiway D Excavation and Embankment
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
P-152 - 4
On all areas outside of the pavement areas, no compaction will be required on the top 4 inches (100 mm).
The in-place field density shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 1556 or ASTM D 2167.
Compaction areas shall be kept separate, and no layer shall be covered by another until the proper density
is obtained.
During construction of the embankment, the Contractor shall route his/her equipment at all times, both
when loaded and when empty, over the layers as they are placed and shall distribute the travel evenly over
the entire width of the embankment. The equipment shall be operated in such a manner that hardpan,
cemented gravel, clay, or other chunky soil material will be broken up into small particles and become
incorporated with the other material in the layer.
In the construction of embankments, layer placement shall begin in the deepest portion of the fill; as
placement progresses, layers shall be constructed approximately parallel to the finished pavement grade
line.
When rock and other embankment material are excavated at approximately the same time, the rock shall
be incorporated into the outer portion of the embankment and the other material shall be
incorporated under the future paved areas. Stones or fragmentary rock larger than 4 inches (100 mm) in
their greatest dimensions will not be allowed in the top 6 inches (150 mm) of the subgrade. Rockfill shall
be brought up in layers as specified or as directed and every effort shall be exerted to fill the voids with
the finer material forming a dense, compact mass. Rock or boulders shall not be disposed of outside the
excavation or embankment areas, except at places and in the manner designated by the Engineer.
• When the excavated material consists predominantly of rock fragments of such size that the material
cannot be placed in layers of the prescribed thickness without crushing, pulverizing or further breaking
down the pieces, such material may be placed in the embankment as directed in layers not exceeding 2
feet (60 cm) in thickness. Each layer shall be leveled and smoothed with suitable leveling equipment and
by distribution of spalls and finer fragments of rock. These type lifts shall not be constructed above an
elevation 4 feet (120 cm) below the finished subgrade.
Frozen material shall not be placed in the embankment nor shall embankment be placed upon frozen
material.
There will be no separate measurement of payment for compacted embankment, and all costs incidental to
placing in layers, compacting, disking, watering, mixing, sloping, and other necessary operations for
construction of embankments will be included in the contract price for excavation, borrow, or other items.
152-2.7 FINISHING AND PROTECTION OF SUBGRADE. After the subgrade has been
substantially completed the full width shall be conditioned by removing any soft or other unstable
material that will not compact properly. The resulting areas and all other low areas, holes or depressions
shall be brought to grade with suitable select material. Scarifying, blading, rolling and other methods
shall be performed to provide a thoroughly compacted subgrade shaped to the lines and grades shown on
the plans.
Grading of the subgrade shall be performed so that it will drain readily. The Contractor shall take all
precautions necessary to protect the subgrade from damage. He/she shall limit hauling over the finished
subgrade to that which is essential for construction purposes.
•
Construct Taxiway D Excavation and Embankment
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
P-152-5
•
All ruts or rough places that develop in a completed subgrade shall be smoothed and recompacted.
No subbase, base, or surface course shall be placed on the subgrade until the subgrade has been approved
by the Engineer.
152-2.8 HAUL. All hauling will be considered a necessary and incidental part of the work. Its cost shall
be considered by the Contractor and included in the contract unit price for the pay of items of work
involved. No payment will be made separately or directly for hauling on any part of the work.
152-2.9 TOLERANCES. In those areas upon which a subbase or base course is to be placed, the top of
the subgrade shall be of such smoothness that, when tested with a 16 -foot (4.8 m) straightedge applied
parallel and at right angles to the centerline, it shall not show any deviation in excess of 1/2 -inch (12
mm), or shall not be more than 0.05 -foot (.015 m) from true grade as established by grade hubs or pins.
Any deviation in excess of these amounts shall be corrected by loosening, adding, or removing materials;
reshaping; and recompacting by sprinkling and rolling.
On safety areas, intermediate and other designated areas, the surface shall be of such smoothness that it
will not vary more than 0.10 foot (0.03 m) from true grade as established by grade hubs. Any deviation in
excess of this amount shall be corrected by loosening, adding or removing materials, and reshaping.
152-2.10 TOPSOIL. When topsoil is specified or required as shown on the plans or under Item T-905,
it shall be salvaged from stripping or other grading operations. The topsoil shall meet the requirements of
Item T-905. If, at the time of excavation or stripping, the topsoil cannot be placed in its proper and final
section of finished construction, the material shall be stockpiled at approved locations. Stockpiles shall
not be placed within 250 feet of runway pavement or 40 feet of taxiway pavement and shall not be placed
on areas that subsequently will require any excavation or embankment. If, in the judgment of the
Engineer, it is practical to place the salvaged topsoil at the time of excavation or stripping, the material
shall be placed in its final position without stockpiling or further rehandling.
Upon completion of grading operations, stockpiled topsoil shall be handled and placed as directed, or as
required in Item T-905.
No direct payment will be made for topsoil as such under Item P-152. The quantity removed and placed
directly or stockpiled shall be paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard (cubic meter) for
"Unclassified Excavation."
When stockpiling of topsoil and later rehandling of such material is directed by the Engineer, the material
so rehandled shall be paid for at the contract unit price per cubic yard (cubic meter) for "Topsoiling," as
provided in Item T-905.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
152-3.1 The quantity of excavation to be paid for shall be the number of cubic yards (cubic meters)
measured in its original position.
Measurement shall not include the quantity of materials excavated without authorization beyond normal
slope lines, or the quantity of material used for purposes other than those directed.
152-3.2 Borrow material shall be paid for on the basis of the number of cubic yards (cubic meters)
measured in its original position at the borrow pit.

ITEM P-156 TEMPORARY AIR AND WATER POLLUTION, SOIL EROSION, AND
0 SILTATION CONTROL
DESCRIPTION
156-1.1 This item shall consist of temporary control measures as shown on the plans or as ordered by the Engineer
during the life of a contract to control water pollution, soil erosion, and siltation through the use of berms, dikes,
dams, sediment basins, fiber mats, gravel, mulches, grasses, slope drains, and other erosion control devices or
methods.
The temporary erosion control measures contained herein shall be coordinated with the permanent erosion control
measures specified as part of this contract to the extent practical to assure economical, effective, and continuous
erosion control throughout the construction period.
Temporary control may include work outside the construction limits such as borrow pit operations, equipment and
material storage sites, waste areas, and temporary plant sites.
MATERIALS
156-2.1 GRASS. Grass that will not compete with the grasses sown later for permanent cover shall be
quick -growing species (such as ryegrass, Italian ryegrass, or cereal grasses) suitable to the area providing
temporary cover.
156-2.2 MULCHES. Mulches may be hay, straw, fiber mats, netting, bark, wood chips, or other suitable material
reasonably clean and free of noxious weeds and deleterious materials.
• 156-2.3 FERTILIZER. Fertilizer shall be a standard commercial grade and shall conform to all Federal and state
regulations and to the standards of the Association of Official Agricultural Chemists.
156-2.4 SLOPE DRAINS. Slope drains may be constructed of pipe, fiber mats, rubble, portland cement concrete,
bituminous concrete, or other materials that will adequately control erosion.
156-2.5 OTHER. All other materials shall meet commercial grade standards and shall be approved by the
Engineer before being incorporated into the project.
CONSTRUCTION REQUIREMENTS
156-3.1 GENERAL. In the event of conflict between these requirements and pollution control laws, rules, or
regulations of other Federal, state, or local agencies, the more restrictive laws, rules, or regulations shall apply.
The Engineer shall be responsible for assuring compliance to the extent that construction practices, construction
operations, and construction work are involved.
156-3.2 SCHEDULE. Prior to the start of construction, the Contractor shall submit schedules for accomplishment
of temporary and permanent erosion control work, as are applicable for clearing and grubbing; grading;
construction; paving; and structures at watercourses. The Contractor shall also submit a proposed method of erosion
and dust control on haul roads and borrow pits and a plan for disposal of waste materials. Work shall not be started
until the erosion control schedules and methods of operation for the applicable construction have been accepted by
the Engineer.
156-3.3 AUTHORITY OF ENGINEER. The Engineer has the authority to limit the surface area of erodible earth
material exposed by clearing and grubbing, to limit the surface area of erodible earth material exposed by
excavation, borrow and fill operations, and to direct the Contractor to provide immediate permanent or temporary
pollution control measures to minimize contamination of adjacent streams or other watercourses, lakes, ponds, or
. other areas of water impoundment.

is
156-3.4 CONSTRUCTION DETAILS. The Contractor will be required to incorporate all permanent erosion
control features into the project at the earliest practicable time as outlined in the accepted schedule. Except where
future construction operations will damage slopes, the Contractor shall perform the permanent seeding and mulching
and other specified slope protection work in stages, as soon as substantial areas of exposed slopes can be made
available. Temporary erosion and pollution control measures will be used to correct conditions that develop during
construction that were not foreseen during the design stage; that are needed prior to installation of permanent control
features; or that are needed temporarily to control erosion that develops during normal construction practices, but are
not associated with permanent control features on the project.
Where erosion is likely to be a problem, clearing and grubbing operations should be scheduled and performed so
that grading operations and permanent erosion control features can follow immediately thereafter if the project
conditions permit; otherwise, temporary erosion control measures may be required between successive construction
stages.
The Engineer will limit the area of clearing and grubbing, excavation, borrow, and embankment operations in
progress, commensurate with the Contractor's capability and progress in keeping the finish grading, mulching,
seeding, and other such permanent control measures current in accordance with the accepted schedule. Should
seasonal limitations make such coordination unrealistic, temporary erosion control measures shall be taken
immediately to the extent feasible and justified.
In the event that temporary erosion and pollution control measures are required due to the Contractor's negligence,
carelessness, or failure to install permanent controls as a part of the work as scheduled or are ordered by the
Engineer, such work shall be performed by the Contractor at his/her own expense.
The Engineer may increase or decrease the area of erodible earth material to be exposed at one time as determined
by analysis of project conditions.
The erosion control features installed by the Contractor shall be acceptably maintained by the Contractor during the
construction period.
Whenever construction equipment must cross watercourses at frequent intervals, and such crossings will adversely
affect the sediment levels, temporary structures should be provided.
Pollutants such as fuels, lubricants, bitumen, raw sewage, wash water from concrete mixing operations, and other
harmful materials shall not be discharged into or near rivers, streams, and impoundments or into natural or manmade
channels leading thereto.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
156-4.1 Temporary erosion and pollution control work required which is not attributed to the Contractor's
negligence, carelessness, or failure to install permanent controls will be performed as scheduled or ordered by the
Engineer. Completed and accepted work will be measured as follows:
a. Temporary seeding and mulching will be measured by the square yard (square meter).
b. Temporary slope drains will be measured by the linear foot (meter).
c. Temporary benches, dikes, dams, and sediment basins will be measured by the cubic yard (cubic meter) of
excavation performed, including necessary cleaning of sediment basins, and the cubic yard (cubic meter) of
embankment placed at the direction of the Engineer, in excess of plan lines and elevations.
d. All fertilizing will be measured by the ton (kilogram).
156-4.2 Control work performed for protection of construction areas outside the construction limits, such as borrow
and waste areas, haul roads, equipment and material storage sites, and temporary plant sites, will not be measured

SUBGRADE STABILIZATION
DESCRIPTION
160-1.1 Scope. The work specified in this section consists of the stabilizing of designated portions of the
pavement subgrade to provide a firm and unyielding subgrade having the required bearing value specified in
the plans. The work shall be constructed in accordance with these specifications and the lines, grades,
thicknesses and notes shown in the plan.
160-2.1 Stabilized Subgrade. For stabilized subgrade, the type of materials, commercial or local, is at the
Contractor's option and no separate payment for stabilizing materials will be made. Compliance with the
bearing value requirements will be determined by the Limerock Bearing Ratio Method.
It is the Contractor's responsibility that the finished pavement subgrade section meets the bearing value
requirements, regardless of the quantity of stabilizing materials necessary to be added. Also, full payment will
be made for any areas where the existing subgrade materials meet the design bearing value requirements
without the addition of stabilizing additives, as well as areas where the Contractor may elect to place select
high -bearing value materials from other sources, within the limits of the stabilizing.
After the grading operations have been substantially completed, the Contractor shall make his own
determination as to the quantity (if any) of stabilizing material necessary for compliance with the bearing value
. requirements. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer of the approximate quantity to be added. The
spreading and mixing in of such quantity of materials shall meet the approval of the Engineer as to uniformity
and effectiveness.
MATERIALS
160-3.1 Commercial & Local Materials. The particular type of stabilizing material to be used shall meet the
requirements of Item P-211, or an approved equal.
160-3.2 Use of Materials From Existing Base. When the utilization of materials from an existing
base is permitted (as all or portion of the stabilizing additives), the Engineer will approve the locations, placing
and distribution of such materials and this work shall be done prior to the spreading of any additional
commercial or local materials.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
160-4.1 General. Prior to the beginning of stabilizing operations, the area to be stabilized shall have been
constructed to an elevation such that upon completion of stabilizing operations the completed stabilized
subgrade will conform to the lines, grades and cross-section shown in the plans. Prior to the spreading of any
additive stabilizing material, the surface of the pavement subgrade shall be brought to a plane approximately
parallel to the plane of the finished surface.
The subgrade to be stabilized may be processed in one course unless the equipment and methods being used do
not provide the required uniformity, particle size limitation, compaction and other desired results, in which
• case, the processing shall be done in more than one course.
Construct Taxiway D Subgrade Stabilization
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
P-160-1
160-4.2 Application of Stabilizing Material. When additive stabilizing materials are required, the designated
quantity shall be spread uniformly over the area to be stabilized.
When materials from an existing base are to be utilized in the stabilizing at a particular location, all of such
materials shall be placed and spread prior to the addition of other stabilizing additives.
Commercial stabilizing material shall be spread by the use of mechanical material spreaders except that where
use of such equipment is not practicable. Other means of spreading may be used, but only upon written
approval of the proposed alternate method.
160-4.3 Mixing. The mixing shall be done with rotary tillers or other equipment meeting the approval of the
Engineer. At the Contractor's election, the mixing of the materials may be accomplished in a plant of an
approved type suitable for this work. The area to be stabilized shall be thoroughly mixed throughout the entire
depth and width of the stabilizing limits.
The mixing operations, as specified, (either in place or in a plant) will be required regardless of whether the
existing soil, or any select soils placed within the limits of the stabilized sections, have the required bearing
value without the addition of stabilizing materials.
As an exception to the above mixing requirements, where the subgrade is of rock, the Engineer may direct that
the mixing operations (and the work of stabilizing) be waived and no payment for stabilizing will be made for
such sections of the area to be paved.
• 160-4.4 Maximum Particle Size of Mixed Materials. At the completion of mixing, all particles of materials
within the limits of the area to be stabilized shall pass a 3-1/2 inch ring. Any particles not meeting this
requirement shall be removed from the stabilized area or shall be broken down so as to meet this requirement.
160-4.5 Compaction. After the mixing operations have been completed and requirements for
bearing value, uniformity and particle size have been satisified, the stabilized area shall be compacted in
accordance with 160-6.1.
The materials shall be compacted at a moisture content permitting the specified compaction. If the moisture
content of the material is improper for attaining the specified density, either water shall be added or the
material shall be permitted to dry until the proper moisture content for the specified compaction is reached.
160-4.6 Finish Grading. The completed stabilized subgrade shall be shaped to conform with the finished
lines, grade and cross-section indicated in the plans. The subgrade shall be checked by the use of elevation
stakes or other means approved by the Engineer.
160-4.7 Requirements for Condition of Completed Sub rg ade. After the stabilizing and compacting
operations have been completed, the subgrade shall be firm and substantially unyielding to the extent that it
will support construction equipment and will have the bearing value required by the plans.

ITEM P-211 LIME ROCK BASE COURSE
DESCRIPTION
211-1.1 This item shall consist of a base course composed of lime rock constructed on the prepared
underlying course in accordance with these specifications and shall conform to the dimensions and typical
cross section shown on the plans.
I&IFIX 0iIIN F.1IV
211-2.1 MATERIALS. The lime rock base course material shall consist of fossiliferous limestone of
uniform quality, and shall not contain hard or flinty pieces that will cause a rough surface containing pits
and pockets. The rock shall show no tendency to "air slake" or undergo chemical change when exposed
to the weather. The material when watered and rolled shall be capable of being compacted into a dense
and well -bonded base.
The oolitic type of lime rock shall meet the following requirements:
Carbonates of calcium and magnesium - not less than 70%.
Oxides of iron and aluminum - not more than 2%.
The combined amount of carbonates, oxides, and silica shall be at least 97%. The material shall
be non -plastic.
All other types of lime rock shall contain not less than 95% of carbonates of calcium and magnesium.
Liquid limit shall not exceed 35, plasticity index shall not exceed 6, as determined in accordance with
ASTM D 4318.
The chemical analysis of lime rock shall consist of determining the insoluble silica, iron oxide, and
alumina by solution of the sample in hydrochloric (HCI) acid, evaporating, dehydrating, redissolving the
residue, and neutralizing with ammonium hydroxide, filtering, washing, and igniting the residue lime
rock. The difference between the percentage of insoluble matter and 100% is reported as carbonates of
calcium and magnesium.
The lime rock shall not contain more than 0.5% of roots, leaf mold, organic, or foreign matter and shall be
obtained from pits from which all overburden has been removed previous to blasting and quarrying.
The gradation of the lime rock shall meet the following requirements:
Sieve Designation
(square openings)
3-1/2 inch (90.mm)
3/4 inch (19.0 mm)
Percentage by Weight
Passing Sieves
100
50-100
All fine material shall consist entirely of dust of fracture.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
211-3.1 SOURCES OF SUPPLY. All work involved in cleaning and stripping pits, including the
handling of unsuitable material shall be performed by the Contractor at his/her own expense. The lime
Construct Taxiway D Limerock Base Course
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
P-211 - 1
rock shall be obtained from approved sources. The pits shall be operated in such a manner that a clean
and uniform material will be secured.
211-3.2 EQUIPMENT. All equipment necessary for the proper construction of this work shall be on the
project, in first-class working condition, and approved by the Engineer before construction is permitted to
start.
211-3.3 PREPARING UNDERLYING COURSE. The underlying course shall be checked and
accepted by the Engineer before placing and spreading operations are started. Any ruts or soft yielding
places caused by improper drainage conditions, hauling, or any other cause shall be corrected at the
Contractor's expense before the base course is placed thereon. Material shall not be placed on frozen
subgrade.
211-3.4 PLACING AND SPREADING. All base course material shall be placed on the prepared
underlying course and compacted in layers to the thickness shown on the plans. The depositing and
spreading of the material on the prepared course or on a completed layer shall commence where
designated and shall progress without breaks. The material shall be deposited and spread in lanes in a
uniform layer and without segregation of size to such loose depth that, when compacted, the layer shall
have the required thickness. When more than one layer is required, the construction procedure described
herein shall apply similarly to each layer, excepting the scarifying and rerolling of the surface which shall
apply to only the top layer.
The rock shall be transported to locations where it is to be used over rock previously placed and dumped
at the end of the preceding spread. It shall then be spread uniformly with shovels, forks, or approved
• mechanical spreaders especially constructed for this purpose. In no case shall rock be dumped directly
onto the underlying course. Transporting over the underlying course will not be permitted, except as
directed, in which case it must be protected by planking if rutting occurs. During the dumping and
spreading operations, the rock shall be brought to the proper moisture content to obtain maximum
density. If water is added, it shall be uniformly mixed to the full depth of the course by discing. All
segregated areas of fine or coarse rock shall be removed and replaced with well -graded rock, and
approved by the Engineer. Lime rock shall not be spread when the subgrade is in an unsuitable condition.
r1
The lime rock base course shall be constructed in a layer not less than 4 inches (100 mm) nor more than 6
inches (150 mm) of compacted thickness. The base course shall be constructed in lanes or strips parallel
with the centerline of the paved area.
During the placing operation, sufficient caution shall be exercised to prevent the incorporation of
subgrade, subbase, or shoulder material in the lime rock.
211-3.5 ROLLING. Immediately after completion of the spreading operations, the base material shall
be thoroughly compacted. The number, type, and weight of rollers shall be sufficient to compact the
mixture to the required density.
The field density of the compacted material shall be at least 100 percent of the maximum density of
laboratory specimens prepared from samples of the base material delivered to the jobsite. The laboratory
specimens shall be compacted and tested in accordance with ASTM D 698. The in-place field density
shall be determined in accordance with ASTM D 1556. The moisture content of the material at the start
of compaction shall not be below nor more than 1-1/2 percentage points above the optimum moisture
content.
Construct Taxiway D Limerock Base Course
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
P-211 - 2
•
211-3.6 FINISHING BASE COURSE. After the watering and rolling of the base course, the entire
surface shall be scarified to a depth of at least 3 inches (75 mm) and shaped to the exact crown and cross
section with a blade grader. The scarified material shall be rewatered and thoroughly rolled. Rolling
shall continue until the base is bonded and compacted into a dense, unyielding mass, true to grade and
cross section. The scarifying and rolling of the surface of the base shall follow the initial rolling of the
lime rock by not more than 4 days. When the lime rock base is constructed in two layers, the scarifying
of the surface shall be to a depth of 2 inches (50 mm).
If, in the opinion of the Engineer, the surface of the base is glazed or cemented to the extent that the prime
coat could not penetrate properly, and after determining that the condition of the base meets all
requirements, he will direct that the surface of the base be hard -planed with a blade grader and broomed
immediately prior to the application of the prime coat. This hard -planing shall be done in such a manner
that only the glazed or cemented surface is removed, leaving a granular or porous condition that will
allow free penetration of the prime material. The material planed from the base shall be removed from the
base area.
If at any time the underlying material becomes churned up and mixed with the base course material, the
Contractor shall, without additional compensation, dig out and remove the mixture, reshape and compact
the underlying course, and replace the materials removed with clean rock which shall be watered and
rolled until satisfactorily compacted.
Where cracks, checks, or failures appear in the base, either before or after priming and before the surface
course is laid, the Contractor shall remove such cracks, checks, or failures by rescarifying, reshaping,
watering, rolling, and adding lime rock where necessary.
211-3.7 SURFACE TOLERANCE. After the course has been completely compacted, the surface shall
be tested for smoothness and accuracy of grade and crown. Any portion lacking the required smoothness
or failing in accuracy of grade or crown shall be scarified, reshaped, recompacted, and otherwise
manipulated as the Engineer may direct until the required smoothness and accuracy are obtained. The
finished surface shall not vary more than 3/8 inch (9 mm) from a 16 -foot (4.8 mm) straightedge when
applied to the surface parallel with, and at right angles to, the centerline. In testing surface of the harder
lime rocks, measurement of clearances from the straightedge shall not include small holes caused by
individual pieces being pulled out by the grader.
211-3.8 THICKNESS. The thickness of the base course shall be determined by depth tests or elevations
taken at intervals in such a manner that each test shall represent 300 square yards (250 square meters), or
it shall be as otherwise directed by the Engineer. The depth tests shall be made by test holes through the
base at least 3 inches (75 mm) in diameter. Where the base deficiency is more than 1/2 inch (12 mm), the
Contractor shall correct such areas by scarifying and adding rock. The base shall be scarified, rock added,
and tapered a distance of 100 feet (30 m) in each direction from the edge of the deficient area for each
inch of rock added. The affected area shall then be watered, bladed, rolled, and brought to a satisfactory
state of compaction, required thickness, and cross section. The thickness of the base in the affected area
shall be remeasured by depth tests or elevations. The operations of scarifying, adding rock, and rerolling
shall continue until the base thickness is within the 1/2 -inch (12 mm) tolerance of base thickness. The
final base thickness of the reconditioned area shall be used to determine the average job thickness.
The average job thickness shall be the average of the depth measurement as above outlined and shall be
within 1/4 inch (6 mm) of the thickness shown on the typical cross section. On individual depth
measurements, thicknesses more than 1/2 inch (12 mm) in excess of that shown on the plans shall be
Construct Taxiway D Limerock Base Course
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
P-211 -3
considered as specified thickness plus 1/2 inch (12 mm) in computing the average job thickness. The
Contractor shall replace, at his/her expense, the lime rock removed from test holes.
211-3.9 PROTECTION. Work on the base course shall not be accomplished during freezing
temperatures nor when the subgrade is wet. When the aggregate contains frozen materials or the
underlying course is frozen, the construction shall be stopped.
Hauling equipment may be routed over completed portions of the base course, provided no damage
results and provided that such equipment is routed over the full width of the base course to avoid rutting
or uneven compaction. However, the Engineer in charge shall have frill and specific authority to stop all
hauling over completed or partially completed base course when, in his/her opinion, such hauling is
causing damage. Any damage resulting to the base course from routing equipment over the base course
shall be repaired by the Contractor at his/her own expense.
211-3.10 MAINTENANCE. Following the completion of the base course, the Contractor shall perform
all maintenance work necessary to keep the base course in a condition satisfactory for priming. After
priming, the surface shall be kept clean and free from foreign material. The base course shall be properly
drained at all times. If cleaning is necessary, or if the prime coat becomes disturbed, any work or
restitution necessary shall be performed at the expense of the Contractor.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
211-4.1 The quantity of lime rock base course to be paid for shall be the number of cubic yards (cubic
meters) of base material placed, bonded, and accepted in the completed base course. The quantity of base
course material shall be measured in final position, based upon depth tests taken as directed by the
10 Engineer, at the rate of 1 depth test for each 300 square yards (250 square meters) of base course, or by
means of average end areas on the complete work computed from elevations to the nearest 0.01 foot (3
mm). On individual depth measurements, thicknesses more than 1/2 inch (12 mm) in excess of that
shown on the plans shall be considered as the specified thickness plus 1/2 inch (12 mm) in computing the
yardage for payment.
BASIS OF PAYMENT
211-5.1 Payment shall be made at the contract unit price per cubic yard (cubic meter) for lime rock base
course. This price shall be full compensation for furnishing all materials and for all preparation, hauling,
and placing of these materials, and for all labor, equipment, tools, and incidentals necessary to complete
the item.
The cost of removing cracks and checks including the labor and material for repriming, and the additional
lime rock necessary for crack elimination, will not be paid for separately but shall be included in the
contract price per cubic yard (cubic meter) for lime rock base course.
Payment will be made under:

COMPOSITION
401-3.1 COMPOSITION OF MIXTURE. The bituminous plant mix shall be composed of a mixture
of well -graded aggregate, filler and anti -strip agent if required, and bituminous material. The several
aggregate fractions shall be sized, handled in separate size groups, and combined in such proportions that
the resulting mixture meets the grading requirements of the job mix formula (JMF).
401-3.2 JOB MIX FORMULA. No bituminous mixture for payment shall be produced until a job mix
formula has been approved in writing by the Engineer. The bituminous mixture shall be designed using
procedures contained in Chapter 5, MARSHALL METHOD OF MIX DESIGN, of the Asphalt Institute's
Manual Series No. 2 (MS -2), Mix Design Methods for Asphalt Concrete, sixth edition.
The design criteria in Table 1 are target values necessary to meet the acceptance requirements contained
• in paragraph 401-5.2b. The criteria is based on a production process which has a material variability with
the following standard deviations:
•
Stability (lbs.) = 270
Flow (0.01 inch) = 1.5
Air Voids (%) = 0.65
If material variability exceeds the standard deviations indicated, the job mix formula and subsequent
production targets shall be based on a stability greater than shown in Table 1, and the flow and air voids
shall be targeted close to the mid-range of the criteria in order to meet the acceptance requirements.
Tensile Strength Ratio (TSR) of the composite mixture, as determined by ASTM D 4867, shall not be less
than 75. Anti -stripping agent shall be added to the asphalt, as necessary, to produce a TSR of not less
than 75. If an antistrip agent is required, it will be provided by the Contractor at no additional cost to the
Owner.
The job mix formula shall be submitted in writing by the Contractor to the Engineer at least [ ] days
prior to the start of paving operations and shall include as a minimum:
a. Percent passing each sieve size for total combined gradation, individual gradation of all aggregate
stockpiles and percent by weight of each stockpile used in the job mix formula.
b. Percent of asphalt cement.
c. Asphalt performance, viscosity or penetration grade, and type of modifier if used.

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

uniformly compacted by power rollers. The surface shall be compacted as soon as possible when the
mixture has attained sufficient stability so that the rolling does not cause undue displacement, cracking or
shoving. The sequence of rolling operations and the type of rollers used shall be at the discretion of the
Contractor. The speed of the roller shall, at all times, be sufficiently slow to avoid displacement of the
hot mixture and be effective in compaction. Any displacement occurring as a result of reversing the
direction of the roller, or from any other cause, shall be corrected at once.
Sufficient rollers shall be furnished to handle the output of the plant. Rolling shall continue until the
surface is of uniform texture, true to grade and cross section, and the required field density is obtained.

P-401 - 15
(4) Testing. The bulk specific gravity of each cored sample will be measured by the
Engineer in accordance with ASTM D 2726 or ASTM D 1188, whichever is applicable. The percent
compaction (density) of each sample will be determined by dividing the bulk specific gravity of each
sublot sample by the average bulk specific gravity of all laboratory prepared specimens for the lot, as
determined in paragraph 401-5.1a(2). The bulk specific gravity used to determine the joint density at
joints formed between different lots shall be the lowest of the bulk specific gravity values from the two
different lots.
(5) Acceptance. Acceptance of field placed material for mat density will be determined by
the Engineer in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 401-5.2b(1). Acceptance for joint density
will be determined in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 401-5.2b(3).
c. Partial Lots — Plant -Produced Material. When operational conditions cause a lot to be
terminated before the specified number of tests have been made for the lot, or when the Contractor and
Engineer agree in writing to allow overages or other minor tonnage placements to be considered as partial
lots, the following procedure will be used to adjust the lot size and the number of tests for the lot.
The last batch produced where production is halted will be sampled, and its properties shall be considered
as representative of the particular sublot from which it was taken. In addition, an agreed to minor
placement will be sampled, and its properties shall be considered as representative of the particular sublot
from which it was taken. Where three sublots are produced, they shall constitute a lot. Where one or two
sublots are produced, they shall be incorporated into the next lot, and the total number of sublots shall be
used in the acceptance plan calculation, i.e., n = 5 or n = 6, for example. Partial lots at the end of asphalt
production on the project shall be included with the previous lot.
• d. Partial Lots — Field Placed Material. The lot size for field placed material shall correspond to
that of the plant material, except that, in no cases, shall less than three (3) cored samples be obtained, i.e.,
n = 3.

Thickness will be evaluated by the Engineer for compliance in accordance with paragraph 401-5.2b(4).
Acceptance for smoothness will be based on the criteria contained in paragraph 401-5.2b(5). Acceptance
for grade will be based on the criteria contained in paragraph 401-5.2b(6).
The Engineer may at any time, notwithstanding previous plant acceptance, reject and require the
Contractor to dispose of any batch of bituminous mixture which is rendered unfit for use due to
contamination, segregation, incomplete coating of aggregate, or improper mix temperature. Such
rejection may be based on only visual inspection or temperature measurements. In the event of such
rejection, the Contractor may take a representative sample of the rejected material in the presence of the
Engineer, and if it can be demonstrated in the laboratory, in the presence of the Engineer, that such
material was erroneously rejected, payment will be made for the material at the contract unit price.
b. Acceptance Criteria.
(1) Mat Density and Air Voids. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced material for mat
density and air voids shall be based on the percentage of material within specification limits (PWL). If
the PWL of the lot equals or exceeds 90 percent, the lot shall be acceptable. Acceptance and payment
shall be determined in accordance with paragraph 401-8.1.
(2) Stability and Flow. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced material for stability and
flow shall be based on the percentage of material within specification limits (PWL). If the PWL of the lot
equals or exceeds 90 percent, the lot shall be acceptable. If the PWL is less than 90 percent, the
Contractor shall determine the reason and take corrective action. If the PWL is below 80 percent, the
Contractor must stop production until the reason for poor stability and/or flow has been determined and
adjustments to the mix are made
(3) Joint Density. Acceptance of each lot of plant produced material for joint density shall
be based on the percentage of material within specification limits (PWL). If the PWL of the lot is equal
to or exceeds 90 percent, the lot shall be considered acceptable. If the PWL is less than 90 percent, the
Contractor shall evaluate the reason and act accordingly. If the PWL is less than 80 percent, the
Contractor shall cease operations and until the reason for poor compaction has been determined. IF THE
PWL IS LESS THAN 71 PERCENT, THE PAY FACTOR FOR THE LOT USED TO COMPLETE THE
JOINT SHALL BE REDUCED BY 5 PERCENTAGE POINTS. This lot pay factor reduction shall be
incorporated and evaluated in accordance with paragraph 401-8.1.
(4) Thickness. Thickness of each lift of surface course shall be evaluated by the Engineer
for compliance to the requirements shown on the plans. Measurements of thickness shall be made by the
Engineer using the cores extracted for each sublot for density measurement. The maximum allowable
deficiency at any point shall not be more than '/4 inch less than the thickness indicated for the lift.
Average thickness of lift, or combined lifts, shall not be less than the indicated thickness. Where the
thickness tolerances are not met, the lot or sublot shall be corrected by the Contractor at his expense by
removing the deficient area and replacing with new pavement. The Contractor, at his expense, may take
additional cores as approved by the Engineer to circumscribe the deficient area.
(5) Smoothness. The final surface shall be free from roller marks. The finished surfaces of
each course of the pavement, except the finished surface of the final course, shall not vary more than %
inch when evaluated with a 16 foot straightedge. The finished surface of the final course of pavement
shall not vary more than '/4 inch when evaluated with a 16 foot straightedge. The lot size shall be [2000]
square yards (square meters). Smoothness measurements shall be made at 50 foot intervals and as
r determined by the Engineer. In the longitudinal direction, a smoothness reading shall be made at the
Construct Taxiway D Plant Mix Bituminous Pavements
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
P-401 - 17
•
center of each paving lane. In the transverse direction, smoothness readings shall be made continuously
across the full width of the pavement. However, transverse smoothness readings shall not be made across
designed grade changes. At warped transition areas, straightedge position shall be adjusted to measure
surface smoothness and not design grade transitions. When more than 15 percent of all measurements
within a lot exceed the specified tolerance, the Contractor shall remove the deficient area to the depth of
the final course of pavement and replace with new material. Skin patching shall not be permitted.
Isolated high points may be ground off providing the course thickness complies with the thickness
specified on the plans. High point grinding will be limited to 15 square yards. Areas in excess of 15
square yards will require removal and replacement of the pavement in accordance with the limitations
noted above.
(6) Grade. The finished surface of the pavement shall not vary from the gradeline elevations
and cross sections shown on the plans by more than '/2 inch (12.70 mm). The finished grade of each lot
will be determined by running levels at intervals of 50 feet (15.2 m) or less longitudinally and all breaks
in grade transversely (not to exceed 50 feet) to determine the elevation of the completed pavement. The
Contractor shall pay the cost of surveying of the level runs that shall be performed by a licensed surveyor.
The documentation, stamped and signed by a licensed surveyor, shall be provided by the Contractor to the
Engineer. The lot size shall be [2000] square yards (square meters). When more than 15 percent of all
the measurements within a lot are outside the specified tolerance, or if any one shot within the lot deviates
3/4 inch or more from planned grade, the Contractor shall remove the deficient area to the depth of the
final course of pavement and replace with new material. Skin patching shall not be permitted. Isolated
high points may be ground off providing the course thickness complies with the thickness specified on the
plans. The surface of the ground pavement shall have a texture consisting of grooves between 0.090 and
0.130 inches wide. The peaks and ridges shall be approximately 1/32 inch higher than the bottom of the
grooves. The pavement shall be left in a clean condition. The removal of all of the slurry resulting form
the grinding operation shall be continuous The grinding operation should be controlled so the residue
from the operation does not flow across other lanes of pavement. High point grinding will be limited to
15 square yards. Areas in excess of 15 square yards will require removal and replacement of the
pavement in accordance with the limitations noted above.
c. Percentage of Material Within Specification Limits (PWL). The percentage of material within
specification limits (PWL) shall be determined in accordance with procedures specified in Section 110 of
the General Provisions. The specification tolerance limits (L) for lower and (U) for upper are contained
in Table 5.
d. Outliers. All individual tests for mat density and air voids shall be checked for outliers (test
criterion) in accordance with ASTM E 178, at a significance level of 5 percent. Outliers shall be
discarded, and the PWL shall be determined using the remaining test values.

texture. The type of bituminous material and application rate shall be approved by the Engineer prior to application.
Following the application, the primed surface shall be allowed to dry not less than 48 hours without being disturbed
or for such additional time as may be necessary to permit the drying out of the prime coat until it will not be picked
up by traffic or equipment. This period shall be determined by the Engineer. The surface shall then be maintained
by the Contractor until the surfacing has been placed. Suitable precautions shall be taken by the Contractor to
protect the primed surface against damage during this interval, including supplying and spreading any sand
necessary to blot up excess bituminous material.
602-3.4 BITUMINOUS MATERIAL CONTRACTOR'S RESPONSIBILITY. Samples of the bituminous
materials that the Contractor proposes to use, together with a statement as to their source and character, must be
submitted and approved before use of such material begins. The Contractor shall require the manufacturer or
producer of the bituminous materials to furnish material subject to this and all other pertinent requirements of the
contract. Only satisfactory materials, so demonstrated by service tests, shall be acceptable.
The Contractor shall furnish vendor's certified test reports for each carload, or equivalent, of bituminous material
shipped to the project. The test reports shall contain all the data required by the applicable specification. If the
Contractor applies the prime material prior to receipt of the tests reports, payment for the material shall be withheld
until they are received. If the material does not pass the specifications it shall be replaced at the contractor's
expense. The report shall be delivered to the Engineer before permission is granted for use of the material. The
furnishing of the vendor's certified test report for the bituminous material shall not be interpreted as basis for final
• acceptance. All such test reports shall be subject to verification by testing samples of materials received for use on
the project.

ITEM T-904 SODDING
DESCRIPTION
904-1.1 This item shall consist of furnishing, hauling, and placing approved live sod on prepared areas
in accordance with this specification at the locations shown on the plans or as directed by the Engineer.
MATERIALS
904-2.1 SOD. Sod furnished by the Contractor shall have a good cover of living or growing grass. This
shall be interpreted to include grass that is seasonally dormant during the cold or dry seasons and capable
of renewing growth after the dormant period. All sod shall be obtained from areas where the soil is
reasonably fertile and contains a high percentage of loamy topsoil. Sod shall be cut or stripped from
living, thickly matted turf relatively free of weeds or other undesirable foreign plants, large stones, roots,
or other materials that might be detrimental to the development of the sod or to future maintenance. At
least 70% of the plants in the cut sod shall be composed of the species stated in the special provisions, and
any vegetation more than 6 inches (150 mm) in height shall be mowed to a height of 3 inches (75 mm) or
less before sod is lifted. Sod, including the soil containing the roots and the plant growth showing above,
shall be cut uniformly to a thickness not less than that stated in the special provisions.
Sod Type: Bahia
904-2.2 LIME. Lime shall conform to the requirements of 901-2.2.
904-2.3 FERTILIZER. Fertilizer shall conform to the requirements of 901-2.3.
904-2.4 WATER. The water shall be sufficiently free from oil, acid, alkali, salt, or other harmful
materials that would inhibit the growth of grass. It shall be subject to the approval of the Engineer prior
to use.
904-2.5 SOIL FOR REPAIRS. The soil for fill and topsoiling of areas to be repaired shall conform to
the requirements of 901-2.4.
CONSTRUCTION METHODS
904-3.1 GENERAL. Areas to be solid, strip, or spot sodded shall be shown on the plans. Areas
requiring special ground surface preparation such as tilling and those areas in a satisfactory condition that
are to remain undisturbed shall also be shown on the plans.
Suitable equipment necessary for proper preparation of the ground surface and for the handling and
placing of all required materials shall be on hand, in good condition, and shall be approved by the
Engineer before the various operations are started. The Contractor shall demonstrate to the Engineer
before starting the various operations that the application of required materials will be made at the
specified rates.
904-3.2 PREPARING THE GROUND SURFACE. After grading of areas has been completed and
• before applying fertilizer and limestone, areas to be sodded shall be raked or otherwise cleared of stones
Construct Taxiway D Sodding
Sebastian Municipal Airport June 2010
T-904 - 1
larger than 2 inches (50 mm) in any diameter, sticks, stumps, and other debris which might interfere with
sodding, growth of grasses, or subsequent maintenance of grass -covered areas. If any damage by erosion
or other causes occurs after grading of areas and before beginning the application of fertilizer and ground
limestone, the Contractor shall repair such damage. This may include filling gullies, smoothing
irregularities, and repairing other incidental damage.
904-3.3 APPLYING FERTILIZER AND GROUND LIMESTONE. Following ground surface
preparation, fertilizer shall be uniformly spread at a rate which will provide not less than the minimum
quantity of each fertilizer ingredient, as stated in the special provisions. If use of ground limestone is
required, it shall then be spread at a rate that will provide not less than the minimum quantity stated in the
special provisions. These materials shall be incorporated into the soil to a depth of not less than 2 inches
(50 mm) by discing, raking, or other methods acceptable to the Engineer. Any stones larger than 2 inches
(50 mm) in any diameter, large clods, roots, and other litter brought to the surface by this operation shall
be removed.
904-3.4 OBTAINING AND DELIVERING SOD. After inspection and approval of the source of sod
by the Engineer, the sod shall be cut with approved sod cutters to such a thickness that after it has been
transported and placed on the prepared bed, but before it has been compacted, it shall have a uniform
thickness of not less than 2 inches (50 mm). Sod sections or strips shall be cut in uniform widths, not less
than 10 inches (250 mm), and in lengths of not less than 18 inches (45 cm), but of such length as may be
readily lifted without breaking, tearing, or loss of soil. Where strips are required, the sod must be rolled
without damage with the grass folded inside. The Contractor may be required to mow high grass before
cutting sod.
The sod shall be transplanted within 24 hours from the time it is stripped, unless circumstances beyond
the Contractor's control make storing necessary. In such cases, sod shall be stacked, kept moist, and
protected from exposure to the air and sun and shall be kept from freezing. Sod shall be cut and moved
only when the soil moisture conditions are such that favorable results can be expected. Where the soil is
too dry, permission to cut sod may be granted only after it has been watered sufficiently to moisten the
soil to the depth the sod is to be cut.
904-3.5 LAYING SOD. Sodding shall be performed only during the seasons when satisfactory results
can be expected. Frozen sod shall not be used and sod shall not be placed upon frozen soil. Sod may be
transplanted during periods of drought with the approval of the Engineer, provided the sod bed is watered
to moisten the soil to a depth of at least 4 inches (100 mm) immediately prior to laying the sod.
The sod shall be moist and shall be placed on a moist earth bed. Pitch forks shall not be used to handle
sod, and dumping from vehicles shall not be permitted. The sod shall be carefully placed by hand, edge
to edge and with staggered joints, in rows at right angles to the slopes, commencing at the base of the area
to be sodded and working upward. The sod shall immediately be pressed firmly into contact with the sod
bed by tamping or rolling with approved equipment to provide a true and even surface, and insure knitting
without displacement of the sod or deformation of the surfaces of sodded areas. Where the sod may be
displaced during sodding operations, the workmen when replacing it shall work from ladders or treaded
planks to prevent further displacement. Screened soil of good quality shall be used to fill all cracks
between sods. The quantity of the fill soil shall not cause smothering of the grass. Where the grades are
such that the flow of water will be from paved surfaces across sodded areas, the surface of the soil in the
sod after compaction shall be set approximately l inch (25 mm) below the pavement edge. Where the
flow will be over the sodded areas and onto the paved surfaces around manholes and inlets, the surface of
the soil in the sod after compaction shall be placed flush with pavement edges.

T-904 - 2
On slopes steeper than l vertical to 2-1/2 horizontal and in v -shaped or flat -bottom ditches or gutters, the
sod shall be pegged with wooden pegs not less than 12 inches (300 mm) in length and have a
cross-sectional area of not less than 3/4 square inch (18 square millimeter). The pegs shall be driven flush
with the surface of the sod.
904-3.6 WATERING. Adequate water and watering equipment must be on hand before sodding begins,
and sod shall be kept moist until it has become established and its continued growth assured. In all cases,
watering shall be done in a manner that will avoid erosion from the application of excessive quantities
and will avoid damage to the finished surface.
904-3.7 ESTABLISHING TURF.
a. General. The Contractor shall provide general care for the sodded areas as soon as the sod has
been laid and shall continue until final inspection and acceptance of the work.
b. Protection. All sodded areas shall be protected against traffic or other use by warning signs or
barricades approved by the Engineer.
c. Mowing. The Contractor shall mow the sodded areas with approved mowing equipment,
depending upon climatic and growth conditions and the needs for mowing specific areas. In the event
that weeds or other undesirable vegetation are permitted to grow to such an extent that, either cut or
uncut, they threaten to smother the sodded species, they shall be mowed and the clippings raked and
removed from the area.
• 904-3.8 REPAIRING. When the surface has become bullied or otherwise damaged during the period
covered by this contract, the affected areas shall be repaired to re-establish the grade and the condition of
the soil, as directed by the Engineer, and shall then be sodded as specified in 904-3.5.
METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
904-4.1 This item shall be measured on the basis of the area in square yards (square meters) of the
surface covered with sod and accepted.
BASIS OF PAYMENT
904-5.1 This item will be paid for on the basis of the contract unit price per square yard (square meter)
for sodding, which price shall be full compensation for all labor, equipment, material, staking, and
incidentals necessary to satisfactorily complete the items as specified.

905-3.1 GENERAL. Areas to be topsoiled shall be shown on the plans. If topsoil is available on the
site, the location of the stockpiles or areas to be stripped of topsoil and the stripping depths shall be
shown on the plans.
Suitable equipment necessary for proper preparation and treatment of the ground surface, stripping of
topsoil, and for the handling and placing of all required materials shall be on hand, in good condition, and
approved by the Engineer before the various operations are started.
905-3.2 PREPARING THE GROUND SURFACE. Immediately prior to dumping and spreading the
topsoil on any area, the surface shall be loosened by discs or spike -tooth harrows, or by other means
approved by the Engineer, to a minimum depth of 2 inches (50 mm) to facilitate bonding of the topsoil to

the covered subgrade soil. The surface of the area to be topsoiled shall be cleared of all stones larger than
2 inches (50 mm) in any diameter and all litter or other material which may be detrimental to proper
bonding, the rise of capillary moisture, or the proper growth of the desired planting. Limited areas, as
shown on the plans, which are too compact to respond to these operations shall receive special
scarification.
Grades on the area to be topsoiled, which have been established by others as shown on the plans, shall be
maintained in a true and even condition. Where grades have not been established, the areas shall be
smooth -graded and the surface left at the prescribed grades in an even and properly compacted condition
to prevent, insofar as practical, the formation of low places or pockets where water will stand.
905-3.3 OBTAINING TOPSOIL. Prior to the stripping of topsoil from designated areas, any
vegetation, briars, stumps and large roots, rubbish or stones found on such areas, which may interfere
with subsequent operations, shall be removed using methods approved by the Engineer. Heavy sod or
other cover, which cannot be incorporated into the topsoil by discing or other means shall be removed.
When suitable topsoil is available on the site, the Contractor shall remove this material from the
designated areas and to the depth as directed by the Engineer. The topsoil shall be spread on areas
already tilled and smooth -graded, or stockpiled in areas approved by the Engineer. Any topsoil
stockpiled by the Contractor shall be rehandled and placed without additional compensation. Any topsoil
that has been stockpiled on the site by others, and is required for topsoiling purposes, shall be removed
and placed by the Contractor. The sites of all stockpiles and areas adjacent thereto which have been
disturbed by the Contractor shall be graded if required and put into a condition acceptable for seeding.
• When suitable topsoil is secured off the airport site, the Contractor shall locate and obtain the supply,
subject to the approval of the Engineer. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer sufficiently in advance
of operations in order that necessary measurements and tests can be made. The Contractor shall remove
the topsoil from approved areas and to the depth as directed. The topsoil shall be hauled to the site of the
work and placed for spreading, or spread as required. Any topsoil hauled to the site of the work and
stockpiled shall be rehandled and placed without additional compensation.
•
Suitable material recovered from clearing and grubbing operations may be used as topsoil as approved by
the engineer.
905-3.4 PLACING TOPSOIL. The topsoil shall be evenly spread on the prepared areas to a uniform
depth of 2 inches (50 mm) after compaction, unless otherwise shown on the plans or stated in the special
provisions. Spreading shall not be done when the ground or topsoil is frozen, excessively wet, or
otherwise in a condition detrimental to the work. Spreading shall be carried on so that turfing operations
can proceed with a minimum of soil preparation or tilling.
After spreading, any large, stiff clods and hard lumps shall be broken with a pulverizer or by other
effective means, and all stones or rocks (2 inches (50 mm) or more in diameter), roots, litter, or any
foreign matter shall be raked up and disposed of by the Contractor. after spreading is completed, the
topsoil shall be satisfactorily compacted by rolling with a cultipacker or by other means approved by the
Engineer. The compacted topsoil surface shall conform to the required lines, grades, and cross sections.
Any topsoil or other dirt falling upon pavements as a result of hauling or handling of topsoil shall be
promptly removed.

0 METHOD OF MEASUREMENT
905-4.1 Topsoil obtained on the site shall be measured by the number of cubic yards (cubic meters) of
topsoil measured in its original position and stripped or excavated. Topsoil stockpiled by others and
removed for topsoiling by the Contractor shall be measured by the number of cubic yards (cubic meters)
of topsoil measured in the stockpile. Topsoil shall be measured by volume in cubic yards (cubic meters)
computed by the method of end areas.
905-4.2 Topsoil obtained off the site shall be measured by the number of cubic yards (cubic meters) of
topsoil measured in its original position and stripped or excavated. Topsoil shall be measured by volume
in cubic yards (meters) computed by the method of end areas.
