B. PURPOSE:
The prime responsibility for safety, supervision and inspection of airfield construction projects
lie with the airport owner/operator. Aviation safety is the prime consideration at airports
especially during construction. Our primary goal is to provide the highest possible level of
safety, security and efficiency to all the airport users; from the airlines and tenants to the
construction contractors and ultimately the traveling public.
To ensure this highest level of safety is maintained a Construction Safety Phasing Plan (CSPP)
has been developed specifically for the “Runway 9C-27C East Package”. The purpose of the
CSPP is to identify all construction activities that will occur within the Airport Operations Area
(AOA) of the airfield and define how each construction area will comply with the requirements
of FAR Part 139 and all applicable FAA rules and regulations.
The CSPP is a standalone document written to correspond with the safety and security set forth
in FAA Advisory Circular 150/5370-2F, and the City of Chicago, O’Hare International Airport’s
safety and security requirements and all local codes, requirements and procedures. The CSPP is
to be used by all personnel involved in the project. The CSPP covers the actions and
responsibilities of design, construction, inspection and airport personnel.
Prior to the start of the project the contractor will submit a “Safety Plan Compliance
Document” (SPCD). Within the content of the SPCD the contractor will include a statement that
they have read and understand the CSPP and how they will comply with all the requirements
and safety procedures detailed within it. Any information not discussed in the original CSPP or
ANY changes to the constructability of the project MUST be outlined in the SPCD and submitted
to the airport and FAA for review. The SPCD must be submitted to and approved by the airport
prior to the start of any work.
In the event the contractor’s activities are found to be in non-compliance with the
requirements of the CSPP or SPCD, the airport’s representatives will direct the contractor in
writing to immediately stop all operations of that particular work until such time as all
deficiencies are mitigated and/or corrected to the satisfaction of the airport.
The CSPP and SPCD will be available at all times on the jobsite. It is the responsibility of the
contractor to ensure all construction personnel are familiar with the safety procedures and
regulations of the airport.

C. SCOPE:
Overall Project Description:
Runway 9C-27C is the final runway to be constructed for the O’Hare Modernization Program
that began in 2005. Runway 9C-27C will be the second longest runway at O’Hare capable to
accommodate Airplane Design Group (ADG) VI aircraft. The new runway will be located
between two existing east/west runways with a width of 200’ and length of 11,245’. The overall
construction of Runway 9C-27C will be accomplished with four separate construction packages.
The estimated commissioning date for the new runway will be 2020.
The first project for the new runway is the “9C-27C East Package”. This project will include
several airfield improvement work areas on the north airfield and activities on the south airfield
associated with Runway 14R-32L. Close work coordination with the entire airport community is
essential for the success and completion of this project. Numerous other construction projects
will be occurring simultaneously with this project which will require various runway and taxiway
short term and extended closures. The following graphic identifies the general work locations
for the 9C-27C East Package project. (See fig 1)

206. Phasing
The nature of this project will consist of the majority of construction work on the north airfield
with the exception of the re-designation of Runway 14R-32L. This CSPP takes into account the
various scenarios that may be encountered during the construction of this project. Unforeseen
situations may arise that are not specifically addressed in this plan. Those situations will be
addressed on a case-by-case basis with CDA Operations and the airport community as they
arise. These changes may or may not warrant a revision to the approved CSPP. Several other
construction projects will be occurring on the airfield at the same time as the 9C-27C East
Package Project which may require other airfield runway or taxiway closures. All work will be
coordinated with the airport community at the weekly STOP coordination meeting.
Construction phasing for this project will be coordinated with CDA Operations, local ATC and all
airport users to provide the least disruption to the daily operations of the airport. The work
areas established in the contract drawings and specifications have been incorporated into the
CSPP. The following sections provide details regarding the airfield operational issues specific to
the project as related to the following topics: Phase Description, Phase Duration and
Locations, Areas Closed to Aircraft Operations, Required AOA Closures, Barricades Plans, Taxi
Routes, ARFF Routes, Construction Staging Areas, Construction Access and Haul Routes,
Impacts to NAVAIDS, Airfield Signage, Lighting, and Marking, Available Runway Length,
Required Hazard Marking and Lighting and Lead Times for Required Notifications. (Only
topics relevant to a specific phase or work area will be discussed, if a topic is not applicable it
will not be covered).
A draft CSPP was sent out for review and comments on March 1, 2016 to: CDA Operations, FAA
control tower, airline representatives, project designers and representative of the OMP CM
team. Comments for the CSPP are due no later than Wednesday March 9, 2016. A CSPP review
meeting will be scheduled (if needed) with CDA, airline representatives and the FAA ATC to
finalize the content of the CSPP for submission to FAA for final document review. Attached as
Appendix “C” of this document are the required Safety Risk Management Analysis FAA Form
5200.8 SAS-1, to be completed by the FAA.
Aspects of this project will be constructed and phased to comply with all FAR Part 139, Part 77
and applicable FAA 150 series Advisory Circulars which are detailed within the CSPP.

Project # OH6143.200.50.321
All graphics within the CSPP are for visual reference only and are not to scale. Graphics were
obtained using Google Earth and the most recent O’Hare International Airport aerial
photographs.
Due to the complexity of the overall project and the detailed phasing that is required to ensure
critical areas of the airport are opened on the required target dates and to further ensure all
requirements of applicable Advisory Circulars, and Federal Aviation Regulations are met and
potential construction issues identified, this CSPP will be formatted so that the beginning of
each section will include general information regarding the overall phase description,
construction dates and milestones and areas closed to aircraft operations. Following the
general information will be specific details and information for each work area to include the
following:
 Work area description and scope of work
 Required AOA closure and duration of closures
 Barricade plans
 FAR Part 139 issues (when applicable)
All other topics that apply to the individual phase as a whole will be addressed at the end of
each specific phase section.

Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Construction Dates and Milestones:

Construction dates and schedules for several phase 1 work areas must meet certain calendar
dates to coincide with the opening of the new Northeast Cargo Development Area on
September 1, 2016. (See fig. 4)
Start of construction mobilization is expected on May 31, 2016 with an estimated start of
construction of July 1, 2016. Construction is anticipated to start on May 1, 2016 with the
majority of Phase 1 work areas completed by August 31, 2016. Some work areas of phase 1 can
continue into phase 2.
Figure 4
Areas Closed to Aircraft Operations and Required AOA Closures:
Various taxi routes will be required around the north airfield throughout the course of the 9C-
27C East Package construction project. Taxi routes will be changed as pavements are closed and
opened during construction. Numerous runways and taxiways will require various short term
and extended closures in order to complete the required scope of work in phase 1. This will
include nighttime closures for survey work and utility investigation prior to the start of any long
term closures.
To the best extent possible, location and details of required AOA closures are described for
each work area. The OMP will coordinate all work with CDA Operations and all users of the
airport to determine work schedules that will provide the least impact to aircraft operations.
15 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Unless otherwise noted all nightly closures will occur between the hours of 10:30 pm and 6am
local time with the understanding that access may be delayed due to traffic or weather
conditions.
Work Area Description and Scope of Work:

Work Area 1A will include preliminary work for the start of construction which will include: (See
fig 5)
 Establish project security access gates with new guard booth at Schlitz Road and security
gate 26C
 Create temporary parking location for aircraft that currently use the NE cargo ramp for
operations. The temporary parking location will be located on the “V” Taxiway just east
of the “V1” Taxiway. **NOTE** - Temporary aircraft parking area MUST be completed
prior to the start of demolition of the cargo ramp.
 Demolition of the existing NE cargo ramp with set up of material crushing yard.
Figure 5
16 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Required AOA closures and Durations:

At the start of work, the far east portion of the “V” Taxiway will be converted to a non-
movement area. This is required for the relocation of the existing aircraft parking position
located on the NE cargo ramp. Once the ramp is closed by NOTAM aircraft that operate off that
ramp will need an alternate parking location. Miscellaneous short term day or night closures
may be needed in at the start of phase 1 for survey or exploratory work, these will be
coordinated at the weekly STOP meeting.
Barricade Plans:
Barricades for work area 1A will require the set-up of both “A” frame and low mass barricades
to close off the northeast cargo ramp. All barricades will be set-up in accordance with criteria as
described in section 220 of the CSPP. The following graphic also indicates pavement markings
to be removed or painted and guidance signs to be removed or adjusted to close off the cargo
area to aircraft. Details for guidance sign modifications will be provided prior to closing any
AOA pavements. (See fig. 6)
Figure 6

Project # OH6143.200.50.321
FAR Part 139 Issues:

As part of work area 1A, the parking position currently used by DHL and other aircraft too large
to park in the FBO ramp will be temporarily moved onto a portion of the “V” Taxiway. The area
will be changed to a non-movement parking area and will be marked with movement/non-
movement boundary lines. As coordinated with CDA Operations all required signs and markings
will either be removed or adjusted within the temporary parking area as needed. This non-
movement area will also be used to park equipment required for aircraft servicing. (See fig. 7)

Project # OH6143.200.50.321

Work Area 1B will require the reconstruction of the TT Taxiway between Taxiway “PP” and
Runway 14L-32R to ensure the taxiway complies with current FAA design standards for ADG VI
aircraft that will utilize the taxiway to access the new Northeast Cargo facility.

Work area 1B will require an extended closure of the “TT” Taxiway between Taxiway “PP” and
Runway 14L-32R for approximately 30 days to complete all required work. All barricades will be
set-up in accordance with criteria as described in section 220 of the CSPP. (See fig. 8)
Figure 8
Barricade Plans:
Barricades for work area 1B will require the set-up of both “A” frame and low mass barricades

Work area 1E involves the construction of the new north airfield service roadway within the
object free area of the H3 taxiway and Work area 1N includes the construction of the relocated
new AOA fence line. The existing perimeter fence line will remain in place and NOT be removed
under this project.

Work in area 1E cannot start until work areas 1C and 1D are complete. The “H2” and “H3”
Taxiways cannot be closed simultaneously. The overall duration of area 1E is approximately 21
days and work area must be complete by August 31, 2016. This work area will entail an
extended closure of the “H3” Taxiway. (See fig.14)

Work area 1F involves converting the portion of Runway 14L-32R between Runway 9R-27L and
the “M” Taxiway into an ADG VI Taxiway (Taxiway SS). This will be a 150’ wide taxiway to
provide access to the new northeast cargo development area. This taxiway will be temporary
and be removed in phase 3.

The majority of work to convert this portion of the runway to a taxiway will not require AOA
closures as the runway is currently closed to air traffic and the contractor will have access to
this area at any time. Work to occur within the RSA of Runway 9R-27L as well as the “M”
Taxiway will be coordinated at the weekly STOP meeting. All work on Runway 9R-27L will occur
at night when the runway is closed, “M” Taxiway may be able to be closed during the day if
coordinated. There is no specified time when this taxiway must be opened, but it will coincide
with the completion of work in area 1G around October 31, 2016. (See fig. 16)

Barricade Plans:
Area 1F will require short term closures of Runway 9R-27L and the “M” Taxiway. No extended
closures are required for this work. Runway 14L-32R between Taxiway “M” and Runway 27L is
currently closed and not available to aircraft operations.

Project # OH6143.200.50.321

Work area 1G will include the construction of the new Taxiway “M” and “V” intersection which
permanently re-aligns “V” as an east/west taxiway. Once complete the angled portion of the
“V” Taxiway will be closed and removed in a later work area of the project.
Also included in area 1G will be the complete removal of the Runway 14L-32R pavement,
shoulders and electrical infrastructure between Taxiway “M” and the southern RSA limits of
Runway 4L-22R. Work in are 1G cannot start until the completion of work area 1B.

Work in area 1G will require extended AOA closures of the “M” Taxiway between Taxiway “V”
and “U”. Short term closures of the “V” Taxiway will be required on a nightly or daily basis to tie
in new shoulders and mainline concrete of the new aligned taxiway to the existing “V” Taxiway.
Other short term closures of surrounding taxiways are not expected for this work. The overall
duration for area 1G will be approximately 150 days and will coincide with completion of work
in phase 1F.
The removal of the Runway 14L-32R pavement will occur on the closed portion of the runway
and will be included within the foot print area of the Taxiway “M” and “V” construction,
therefore no additional AOA closures will be required for this work. (See fig. 18)

Barricade Plans:
Area 1G will require the extended closure of the “M” Taxiway between Taxiway “U” and “V” for
approximately 150 days. Short term closures of the area may be required prior to any
significant work for survey and site investigation and will be coordinated with all airport users
at the weekly STOP meeting.
The area for removal of the runway pavement between Runway 4L-22R and “M” Taxiway is
currently closed and not available to aircraft operations and therefore no additional closures
are required. Barricades will be adjust to place the limits of work at the RSA of Runway 4L-22R
instead of the hold bar.

Work area 1G presents a unique condition for construction of the new east/west portion of the
“V” Taxiway and the east shoulder of the “M” Taxiway extending to the north. This scope of
work will require construction activities within the TSA and TOFA of open taxiways. The
identified areas will be coordinated, with approval of the OMP and CDA Operations. The sub
phases detailed below may need to occur either before or after work area 1G.
Area 1G-1:
The east portion of the “V” Taxiway concrete, asphalt shoulders (north) and electrical
installation must be performed when the “V” Taxiway is closed by NOTAM. The OMP will
coordinate with the contractor to determine the best time to perform this work. At the time of
the writing of the CSPP there are 3 possible options on when this work will be performed:
 Performed on a nightly basis
 Coordinate an extended closing of the “V” Taxiway
31 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
 At completion of area 1G after the new “M” / “V” Taxiway intersection is opened and
temporary “V” is permanently closed.
Area 1G-2
The east shoulder of the “M” Taxiway will extend to connect to the shoulder of the “NN”
Taxiway. This presents an issue of completing these construction activities while “V” Taxiway is
open and then again after the temporary “V” Taxiway is closed and “M” Taxiway is open, this
work falls within the TSA of the “M” Taxiway. Similar to area 1G-1 The OMP will coordinate with
the contractor and CDA Operations to determine the best options on when this work will be
performed:
 Performed on a nightly basis
 Work to occur prior to August 31, when the area is not required for aircraft operations
to NE Cargo.
If construction activities are performed on a nightly basis for areas 1G-1 or 1G-2, at the
completion of work for the day and prior to opening to aircraft operations, the area must meet
all FAR part 139 and applicable advisory circular criteria to allow for safe aircraft taxi
operations. Potential work activities will include but are not limited to:
 Saw cutting (kerf)
 Marker Light Base installation
 Conduit installation
 Cable pulling
 Asphalt paving or patching
 Concrete pours
Using criteria as defined in Advisory Circular 150-5370-2F section 221.d.3.c the resident
engineer will coordinate with CDA Operations to perform as much work as safely possible
within the identified critical areas. (See fig. 20)

Work Area 1H includes the complete removal of the Runway 14L-32R pavement, shoulders and
electrical infrastructure within the safety area limits of Runway 4L-22R. Under this work area
several other construction activities will occur to remove all guidance to the original runway
intersection which will include, but is not limited to:
 Removal of airfield guidance signs
 Installation of runway elevated edge lights.

This work will be performed within the RSA of Runway 4L-22R and will therefore require nightly
closures of the runway. The following graphic identifies closures and barricade set-up for
nightly closures of Runway 4L-22R. (See fig. 21)

Work area 1I will include the removal of Runway 14L-32R pavement, shoulders and electrical
infrastructure within the OFA limits of Runway 9L-27R. This work area will also include the
construction of a new ARFF access road from the “U” Taxiway to Runway 9L-27R to allow mid-
point access to the runway for the fire department which is detailed in section 207.b.ii.
Construction activities for this area will include, but is not limited to:
 Removal of airfield guidance signs
 Construction of designated fire access road
 Roadway signage and marking
 Taxiway edge light installation

Area 1I will require the following short term closures:
 Runway 9L-27R
 “C” Taxiway closed between “C2” and “U” Taxiways
 “U” Taxiway closed between “M2” and “C” Taxiways
Runway 9L-27R will only be closed during the overnight hours of 10:30pm to 6am. Day time
closures of Runway 27R will not be permitted. Once all work is completed within the 27R RSA,
day time closures of the “C” and “U” Taxiways may be permitted taxi configurations permit and
work is coordinated with the airport community at the weekly STOP meeting. (See fig. 23)
36 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 23
Barricade Plans:
Area 1I will require short term closures of Runway 9L-27R and short term closures of portions
of the “C” and “U” Taxiways. No extended closures will be permitted for area 1I. Work within
the RSA Runway 9L-27R will be restricted to night work. While work outside the RSA can be
performed during day hours if airfield configurations permit and closures are coordinated with
the airport community.
Taxiway “U1” is a closed taxiway and therefore all markings and guidance signs have been
removed or modified. There will not be any marking removal or sign modifications for this
phase all signs and markings were removed or adjusted in previous work. (See fig. 24)
37 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 24

The “U1” Taxiway current serves as the only ARFF access road to the approximate midpoint of
Runway 9L-27R. While there is no defined roadway across the taxiway leading to the runway,
the contractor MUST maintain a 30’ paved surface leading from “U” and “U1” Taxiways to
Runway 9L-27R. All proposed temporary ARFF roadways MUST be reviewed and approved by
CDA Operations and the Chicago Fire Department.

Project # OH6143.200.50.321

Work Area 1J includes the complete removal of the temporary (angled) “V” Taxiway between
“V” and “M” Taxiways. Demolition will include the removal of all asphalt pavement, sub grade,
airfield electrical and utilities. A portion of phase 1G-1 and 1G-2 may continue into and
throughout area 1J.

Work in area 1J will require the permanent closing and decommissioning of the temporary “V”
Taxiway. If work from area 1G-1 does continue into phase 1J, closure and work coordination
will be required to construct the east shoulder of the “M” Taxiway that extends north to tie into
the “NN” Taxiway. Work in area 1G-2 also falls inside the TSA of the new aligned “V” Taxiway. It
is anticipated that “V” Taxiway between “TT” and “M” will be closed for an extended period as
that taxi route will not be required once “M” Taxiway is opened full length. (See fig. 25)
All closures for the “M” Taxiway will be coordinated with the airport community at the weekly
STOP meeting and will occur during the lowest traffic periods for that area. Extended closures
of the “M” Taxiway will not be permitted after the Northeast Cargo Facility is opened, as “M”
will be the only available taxiway to the area. Work area 1J cannot start until the new “M” and
“V” Taxiways are opened to air traffic.
Figure 25
39 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Barricade Plans:
Work area 1J will require the permanent closing of the temporary “V” Taxiway between
Taxiway “M” and “V”. At the time of the writing of the CSPP, it is impossible to determine the
sequence of work between several areas and when certain taxiways will be opened or closed. It
is anticipated that at the completion of area 1G and start of area 1J, the “M” Taxiway will be
open full length, the “V” Taxiway will be closed between “M” and “TT” Taxiways for the
construction of “V” Taxiway shoulders and removal of the asphalt pavement inside the taxiway
critical areas. These areas will be coordinated with the contractor and airport community and a
final determination will be made on what areas will be closed.
For the CSPP it will be assumed the “V” Taxiway will be closed for the duration of work area 1J
and is illustrated in the following barricade graphic.
40 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 26

Removal of the temporary asphalt in this area will fall inside the safety area of the “M” Taxiway.
The contractor will develop a construction schedule of means and methods on how the
pavement and infrastructure will be removed and the area restored to FAR Pat 139 compliance
prior to opening to aircraft operations. Work is not permitted inside the object free area while
the taxiway is open. Open excavations are not permitted inside the taxiway safety area and
must be back filled or covered prior to opening the area to air traffic. (See fig. 27)

Work area 1K includes the construction and completion of the new north airfield service
roadway across the “U” Taxiway between the existing Oviettes Road and the OFA of the “SS”
Taxiway.
Work Area 1M will include the removal of the existing service road pavement between the 32R
hold pad and “A” and “B” bridges. The following graphic shows the final airfield configuration
south of Runway 9R-27L at the completion of work areas 1K and 1M. (See fig. 28)
Figure 28
43 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321

Work area 1K will require short term nightly closures of the “U” Taxiway and 32R Hold Pad for
construction of the service road and work area 1M will require closures of both the “A” and “B”
bridge Taxiways for the removal of the existing service road pavements and restoration. (See
fig. 29)
Extended closures of the “U” or bridge Taxiways will not be permitted all work will occur
between the hours of 10:30pm and 6am.

Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Barricade Plans:
This work area will require nightly short term closures of several north side taxiways. Work area
1K will coincide with several other work areas on the 9C-27C East Package project and will be
coordinated at the weekly STOP meeting. The following graphic identifies all potential AOA
closures that will be needed to complete the work in area 1K and 1M. Although numerous
taxiway closures are identified, not all taxiways will be closed simultaneously. “A” and “B”
bridge Taxiways cannot be closed at the same time, one taxiway must always remain open. (See
fig. 30)
Figure 30
45 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321

Construction of the final portion of the north airfield service roadway will require construction
activities and excavations within the TSA and OFA of the “U” Taxiway between Taxiways “H”
and “A”. Work will be discussed and coordinated with the contractor to determine the best
means and method of construction to complete the work and remain in compliance with FAR
Part 139 criteria. (See fig. 31)
Figure 31
To comply with Advisory Circular 150-5370-2F section 221.c.4 excavations are not permitted
within the TSA while the taxiway is open. Excavations for the roadway must either be backfilled
with stone and suitably capped to ensure material does not become dislodged from jet blast or
high winds, or the excavation is left in a manner that will allow the safe operation of the
heaviest aircraft that will operate on the taxiway (B747-8) if the aircraft deviates from the
taxiway and enters the TSA. Examples may be, but are not limited to: steel plates covering the
excavation of crane matts inside the excavation. Any method used to comply with FAR Part 139
must be capable of supporting the weight of the aircraft without causing damage.

Work area 1L will include the re-designation of Runway 14R-32L to Runway 15-33 and work
area 1L will include the decommissioning of Runway 14L-32R.
Work area 1L (re-designation of Runway 14R-32L to Runway 15-33) will occur over a 3-4 night
period and will require daily NOTAMS for possible non-standard markings. The following
includes work activities that are required for the runway re-designation:
 Relocation and repainting of runway landing designation marking.
 Repainting of all Mandatory surface painted holding position signs.
 Relocation and repainting of runway centerlines
 Re-signing of all mandatory hold, approach/departure and TORA guidance signs. (to be
performed by CDA)
Work area 1O (decommissioning of Runway 14L-32R) will include the complete removal of all
paint markings that were grayed out when the runway was closed in September 2015. All
guidance signs identifying the runway will be removed along with all distance remaining signs.

Work area 1L and 1O will have two different start dates for each runway activity. The
decommissioning of Runway 14L-32R (1O) must be completed by July 21, 2016. This coincides
with the FAA aeronautical charting publication date and all work in area 1O must be completed
by that date. The majority of work associated with the decommissioning will occur on the
runway pavements that are currently closed and barricaded off. Any work that must occur
within active runway or taxiway intersections will be coordinated with the airport community.
Many areas for marking and guidance sign removal will coincide with individual work areas and
work completed within that specific closure. (See fig. 32)
47 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 32
The re-designation of Runway 14R-32L to 15-33 will start on September 14, 2016 at 10:30pm
FAA aeronautical charting publication date and will be completed over the course of 3-4 nights.
As the runway cannot be closed for an extended period, the re-designation will occur in phases
between the hours of 10:30pm and 6am. The following describes an estimated schedule and
construction activities to occur.
September 14, 2230 hours to September 15, 0600 hours

 Repaint all surface painted hold sign red boxes and leave blank. At the runway opening
(6am) the only taxiway intersections that will be required to have the new designation
on the surface painted hold signs will be: “N” Taxiway, “K” Taxiway, “T10” Taxiway, “L”
Taxiway, “T9” Taxiway, “T7” Taxiway and T1” Taxiway.
 Remove and repaint runway landing designation markings.
 Remove and replace all required guidance sign panels with new designation which
includes; mandatory hold signs, approach and departure signs and TORA Signs. All
guidance signs cards will be manufactured by CDA to be installed by the contractor.
September 15, 16, and 17, 2230 hours to 0600 hours (as needed)
 Repaint runway designation of remaining surface painted hold signs.
 Adjust all runway centerline markings to comply with spacing and repaint.

Phase 2 of this project is further divided into 2 individual work areas, 2A and 2B. Each work area
will be discussed individually to explain in detail the scope of work and impacts to the airfield.
The overall scope of work for phase 2 will be to convert the primary work area for construction
of the runway and associated taxiways to a landside construction project and construct a
temporary AOA service roadway and construct a concrete batch plant. (See fig. 34)
Figure 34

The approximate start date for phase 2 will be around November 1, 2016 and must be
completed on or before 795 days from notice to proceed. Placing completion of the phase on or
around July 31, 2018. Only work area 1A may continue into phase 2, all other work areas in
50 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
phase 1 must be completed by defined milestone dates. Work areas in phase 2 including all
punchlist work must be completed prior to the start of phase 3.

Phase 2 of the project will not require extensive AOA closures as all of work area 2A will be
located landside and work area 2B will have minimal AOA affects. Refer to section 206.1 for all
phase 1 AOA impacts as some work areas in phase 1 will continue into phase 2.
Unless otherwise noted all nightly closures will occur between the hours of 10:30pm and 6am
local time with the understanding that access may be delayed due to traffic or weather
conditions.

Work area 2A will include the construction of a new (temporary) AOA perimeter fence line to
encompass the construction area of the new runway and associated taxiways for it to be a
landside project. As a result of converting the area to a landside project, the existing AOA
service roadway will no longer be accessible. A new temporary perimeter service road
(approximately 24’ wide) will be constructed around the temporary fence line to accommodate
northeast cargo and FBO vehicle traffic. Taxiway “PP” will also be permanently closed in this
work area and a portion of the temporary service road will be placed on the “PP” Taxiway.

Minor AOA closures will be required for work area 2A to allow the construction of the
temporary service roadway across the “V” Taxiway. Construction of the service road within the
object free area of the “V” Taxiway will be completed within the duration of work area 1B. This
will allow daily closures of the “V” Taxiway and also allow access to the FBO ramp via the TT
Taxiway. Taxiway “V” cannot be closed once “TT” is closed in phase 2. (See fig. 35)
51 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 35
Barricade Plans:
This work area will be coordinated with airport community to determine if an extended closure
of the “V” Taxiway between “M” and “TT” will be possible for construction of the service road
within the OFA of the “V” Taxiway. If extended closures are not possible this work will be
completed on a daily or nightly basis with the area returned to FAR Part 139 compliance on a
daily basis. If approved, extended closure of the “V” cannot exceed 7 calendar days. (See fig. 36)
52 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 36
Work area 2A will also require the permanent closing of the “PP” Taxiway between Runway 27L
approach and the “TT” Taxiway. (See fig 37)
Figure 37
53 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
sign modifications will be provided prior to closing any AOA pavements.

Construction of the temporary service road that crosses the “V” Taxiway will need to be
constructed while the “TT” Taxiway is open and available for access to the FBO ramp. If
scheduling requires construction of the service road after “T” is closed, the contractor will
coordinate all work with OMP and CDA Operations do determine the best means and methods
of construction to ensure compliance with all FAR Part 139 and Advisory Circular criteria. Open
excavations are NOT permitted within the TSA of an open taxiway.
54 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321

Work area 2B will include the tie in of the new taxiway pavements of the project into the
existing airfield pavements. Taxiway “TT” will be tied into existing pavement at Taxiway “V” and
“SS” (outside Runway 9R-27L RSA) and Taxiway “B” will be tied into existing pavement at
Taxiway “V”. (See fig. 38)
Figure 38
At the completion of work area 2B, prior to start of phase 3, the temporary AOA perimeter
fence line and service road will be removed and permanent alignment of both the AOA fence
line and service roadway will be constructed. Existing security gate 39 will be removed and
relocated on the new perimeter fence line at Schlitz Road. (See fig. 39)
55 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 39

At the time of the writing of the CSPP it has not been determined if a closure of the “V” will be
required to tie in the new “B” Taxiway or work will be permitted within the TOFA using object
free working criteria in AC 150-5370-2F section 221.d.3.c. The tie in of the “TT” Taxiway occurs
outside the OFA limits of open taxiways and will not require closures.
Barricade Plans:
Barricade plans will be determined and created if a closure for this work area is required. All
barricades will be set-up in accordance with criteria as described in section 220 of the CSPP. The
following graphic also indicates pavement markings to be removed or painted and guidance
signs to be removed or adjusted to close the affected taxiways. Details for guidance sign
modifications will be provided prior to closing any AOA pavements.
56 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321

Specific to work in area 2B will be the tie in of the existing pavement at the “V” and “B” Taxiway
intersection. The existing pavement limits are 145’ from the centerline of the “V” inside the
OFA. If it is preferred by the airport community to keep this section of pavement open
construction will occur using criteria detailed in AC 150-5370-2F section 221.d.3.c. (Refer to
section 221.e).

Phase 3 of this project is further divided into 2 individual work areas, 3A and 3B. Each work area
will be discussed individually to explain in detail the scope of work and impacts to the airfield.
The overall scope of work for phase 3 will be the construction of the final lengths of the new
runway and parallel taxiway up to the TOFA of the “M” and “U” Taxiways and construction of
the a temporary “PP” Taxiway (Future “B” Taxiway) to the Runway 27L approach and
demolition of the remainder of the “PP” Taxiway up to the “TT” Taxiway. (See fig. 40)
Figure 40
At the completion of phase 3 three taxi routes will be available to and from the north portion of
the airfield including the FBO ramp and northeast cargo facility. (See fig. 41)
58 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 41

The start of phase 3 will coincide with the opening of the new “TT” Taxiway. Once “TT” is
opened and available to aircraft, the “SS” will be closed and the demolition of the 14L-32R
pavement can start and new runway and taxiway pavement within the footprint of the former
runway will begin. Completion date for phase 3 will be around on or around July 31, 2018.

Phase 3 of the project will require various airfield closures to complete work in both phase 3
work areas.
59 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Unless otherwise noted all nightly closures will occur between the hours of 10pm and 6am local
time with the understanding that access may be delayed due to traffic or weather conditions.

Work area 3A will include the construction of a temporary asphalt taxiway to connect the new
airfield pavement with the 27L approach and the continued removal of the existing “PP”
Taxiway. (See fig. 42)
Figure 42

No additional closures are required for work area 3A, the permeant closing of “PP” will
continue in this work area.

Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Barricade Plans:
No additional barricade plans are required for work area 3A

Paving of the temporary “PP” Taxiway and pavement demolition of the existing “PP” Taxiway
will require a shutdown of the Runway 27L glide slope antenna. All NAVAID shutdowns will be
coordinated through the FAA Tech Ops Division.

Work area 3B will involve the completion of the new runway and parallel taxiway pavement to
the object free area of the “M” and “U” Taxiways and also include the pavement demolition of
the existing Runway 14L-32R pavement between Taxiway “M” and Runway 9R-27L and the U5
high speed taxiway.

Work area 3B will require the permanent closing of the “SS” Taxiway between “M” Taxiway and
Runway 9R-27L as well as extended closures of the “M” and “U” Taxiways and short term
nightly closures of Runway 9R-27L for the pavement removal and area restoration within the
safety area of both taxiways and runway.
At the time of the writing of the CSPP taxiway extended closures have not been coordinated
with the airport community. All extended closures will be discussed and coordinated at the
weekly STOP meeting. It is anticipated for these extended closures to occur in spring of 2018
and will be needed for an approximate duration of 24 to 48 hours. (See fig. 43)

Barricade Plans:
At the time of the writing of the CSPP it is unknown what closures and duration of closures will
be required for phase 3B. As with other closures on this project all barricades will be set-up in
accordance with criteria as described in section 220 of the CSPP. For closures less than 7 days
pavement markings and guidance signs will not be required to be removed or adjusted. The

Project # OH6143.200.50.321
A critical date for the project will be September 1st, which is the anticipated opening date for
the new Northeast Cargo facility. At the opening of the facility work areas 1C, 1D, 1F and 1G
must completed to allow aircraft taxi routes to the Northeast Cargo Area.
Taxi routes will be coordinated with the entire airport community at the weekly STOP meeting
so all users will be aware of what taxiways will be open and closed.
ARFF Access Roads:

The fire access roads will not be affected as a result of this project. Over the course of
construction of the new north airfield service roadway, the existing road will remain open and
available to all emergency equipment. Access to runway 9L-27R at the U1 taxiway will always
be maintained. The OMP will coordinate all changes in ARFF access roads with CDA Operations
and the Fire Department.
Construction Staging Areas:

The contractor will utilize two available staging areas for this project. The main staging area will
be located landside, east of Mannheim Road and south of Balmoral Road. The contractor will
also have an area within the AOA located in work area 1A. The existing cargo ramp area and
land side areas adjacent to the former FBO building will be available for the contractor and their
use for the duration of the project. (See fig. 46)
Equipment and material is normally not permitted to be staged or parked on closed AOA
pavements. Heavy equipment that cannot be easily moved and must remain on closed
pavements MUST be coordinated with OMP and CDA. All material or equipment that will be
staged on closed AOA pavements must be adequately marked and lighted to ensure it is visible
during hours of darkness or limited visibility.

Construction Access and Haul Routes:

Primary access for the Runway 9C-27C East Package project will be through Security access
perimeter gate 26C, which is located south of the former general aviation building on Schlitz
Road. Other airport property gates located around the project site may need to be opened as
construction progress and access routes need to change. Any changes or additions to
contractor AOA access MUST be reviewed and approved by CDA Safety and Security. If these
changes involve any changes to Perimeter fence lines, Transportation Security Administration
(TSA) approval is also required. Post 12 is NOT to be used for construction access. (See fig. 47)
66 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 47
Haul routes to individual work areas will change with specific AOA taxiway closures. It is
impossible to identify all potential haul routes to access the various areas of the project. Haul
routes will be identified prior to the start of any work within a specific area and approved by
CDA Operations. The contractor will be provided a detailed haul route map for each work area.
Access to each area may use existing service or access roads, closed taxiways or runways and
may at times require the construction of grinding roads to an area.
All grinding haul roads that are constructed adjacent to an active taxiway must have the
grindings capped with asphalt 122.5’ from the edge of taxiway pavement to ensure grindings do
not become a FOD hazard and the haul road can be easily cleaned. Refer to section 221.d for
taxiway critical area dimensions. (See fig. 48)
67 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 48
Construction sweepers shall be required for each haul route at all identified taxiway crossings
during any construction activities to keep pavements clean and minimize potential FOD
hazards. All contractor flaggers are required to attend an O’Hare International Airport certified
flagger training class, prior to starting any flagging duties and MUST have portable radios for
each location.
The contractor will be required to provide enough sweepers as needed to keep all haul routes
that cross active taxiways clean from construction material and/or debris.
The following remaining phase elements of the required Construction Safety Phasing Plan are
not applicable to this project:

Project # OH6143.200.50.321
207. Areas and Operations Affected by Construction Activities

O’Hare International Airport runways and taxiways will be open and available for use during
the duration of this project. The intent of the CSPP is to identify any construction activities
that may affect the availability and use of runways and taxiways throughout the project,
detail any potential impact to the airport and identify mitigation of effects to ensure the
continued safety for all users of the airport.
a. Identification of affected areas -

i. Closing or partial closing of runways, taxiways or aprons – All closures will be
coordinated on a weekly basis at the STOP meeting.
ii. Closing of ARFF access routes – All fire access roads will be maintained and
available throughout the duration of the project.
iii. Closing access routes used by airport or airline support vehicles – Various
temporary airport service and access roads will be built for this project.
Roadways will always be maintained. Roadways cannot be closed or detoured
without the approval of the OMP and CDA Operations. Airport roadways will be
maintained throughout the project.
iv. Interruption of utilities – Utilities will not be disrupted as a result of construction
on this project.
v. Approach/departure surface affected by heights of objects – A 7460 airspace
study will be submitted to identify any potential Part 77 issues.
vi. Construction areas – See section 206 for detailed areas of construction.
b. Mitigation effects – The CSPP has established specific procedures necessary to maintain
the safety and efficiency of all airport operations during all construction activities of this
project.
All coordination for airfield work and the scheduling of required CDA escorts will be
discussed at the weekly STOP meeting and coordinated on a daily basis with CDA
Operations.
i. Temporary changes to runway and/or taxiway operations – Nightly short term
closures of numerous runways and several associated taxiways will be required
for construction activities within pavement critical areas. Any closures of
runways or taxiways will be coordinated at the weekly STOP meeting. Extended
closures for any runways or taxiways within individual work areas will be
coordinated with the airport community.
69 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Notice to Airmen (NOTAMS) will be coordinated through CDA Operations and

issued as required for the duration of the closure. Upon completion of work on a
daily AOA closure, the contractor shall notify CDA Operations to be cleared from
the airfield. Once Operations has inspected the area(s) and approval has been
granted, the contractor may pick up barricades.
All airfield closures for construction will be coordinated with CDA, FAA and
airlines through the weekly STOP meeting, where all entities will be made aware
of any operational impacts to the airfield. All daily airfield pavement closures will
be coordinated with airport operations, appropriate NOTAMS issued and
placement of barricades with red lights to delineate all closed areas.
ii. Detours for ARFF and other airport vehicles – There will be no impact or
required detours for airport vehicles as a result of this project. The pavement
removal in work area 1I will require continued access to runway 9L-27R from the
“U” Taxiway. The contractor will submit a means and method of construction to
be approved by the OMP CM, CDA Operations and Fire Department on how the
fire access road will be maintained prior to the start of any pavement removal.
(See fig. 49)
70 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 49
iii. Maintenance of essential utilities - Uninterrupted service of all airfield utilities is

of the utmost importance in the safe operation of the airport. Where required
the contractor will request a locate of all underground utilities. See section 215
for detailed procedures for utility locates and construction activities around or
adjacent to utilities. ALL CDA, FAA, and common utilities MUST be located and
exposed prior to beginning ANY excavations.
iv. Temporary changes to air traffic control procedures – No changes to air traffic
control procedures are anticipated on this project.
208. Protection of Navigational Equipment (NAVAIDS)

NAVAIDS will not be affected as a result of this project. All lighting and electrical
components associated with the removal of the 14L ALSF system will be returned to the
FAA, as noted in the contract documents.
209. Contractor Access

The following items will detail the procedures for contractor access, stockpiles and
construction employee operations and requirements.
71 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
a. Contractor Access and airfield entry points – The primary AOA entry point for this
project will be through security construction gate 26C. The contractor will have access
to the airfield through any approved guard post or CVIA Location (unless otherwise
noted). All contractors must be properly badged and equipment must have proper ORD
vehicle placards. Those employees without badges will be required to be signed onto
the airfield by a badged and escort approved employee.
b. Location of stockpiled construction material – Construction stockpiles, materials and

equipment are not permitted within any runway or taxiway safety area, object free area
or runway obstacle free zone. All stockpile locations must have an FAA 7460 airspace
study completed to ensure stockpiles do not penetrate any FAR Part 77 navigable
surfaces.
All stockpiled material must be monitored and/or secured to ensure construction debris
does not become dislodged by wind or jet blast and create a FOD hazard on the airfield.
Provisions must also be in place to prevent stockpiled material from becoming wildlife
attractants. ALL ROLLOFF CONTAINERS STAGED WITHIN THE AOA MUST BE COVERED
AT ALL TIMES.
c. Construction and pedestrian operations – Aircraft and passenger safety is of the utmost
importance. Vehicle traffic will be limited to those individuals that have an operational
need to access the airfield for this project. All employees working within the AOA for
this project will be required to obtain an ORD Identification badge with basic airfield
driver’s access privileges. All vehicles that enter the airfield must either have an ORD
vehicle permit or be escorted onto the airfield by an authorized company escort.
Under the requirements of the CDA badging and escorting rules and regulations, any
person who signs in a non-badged employee and/or vehicle onto the AOA will be
responsible for that person/vehicle until they are escorted off the airfield. Under no
circumstances shall unbadged personnel be left within the AOA unattended.
d. Construction equipment and site parking

i. Access and haul routes – Construction traffic is required to stay on designated
haul routes for this project. At no time is construction/contractor vehicles
permitted to enter any movement area or secured portions of the AOA unless
under authorized CDA escort. Any changes to the approved haul route must be
72 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
approved through CDA operations. All haul routes are to remain clean and free
of debris that may damage aircraft. During AOA construction the contractor is
required to have at minimum, one vacuum type roadway sweeper on site at all
times. If the contractor will be working in multiple locations that will affect open
taxiways multiple sweepers will be required. The contractor will be responsible
for dust control throughout the project job site and haul routes as required.
ii. Marking and lighting of vehicles - All contractor/construction vehicles that

operate within the AOA MUST without exception have an operational rotating or
yellow strobe light mounted on the top of the vehicle. These lights must be in
use anytime within the AOA construction project limits. Strobe lights mounted
inside or within a vehicles head lights and/or tail lights are not acceptable and do
not comply with FAA standards. During hours of darkness and low visibility,
vehicles MUST have their headlights on.
Vehicle trailers must be connected to their respective tow vehicle with

operational parking lights. Several accidents have occurred on airfields due to
unattended trailers parked with no marker lights on. If a trailer must be
detached from the tow vehicle, barricades shall be placed around the trailer to
make it visible.
All "Heavy" equipment is required to have a 3' x 3' orange and white flag
mounted on the highest point of the vehicle while working on the airfield.
Vehicles not considered "Heavy" equipment: Pick-up trucks, dump trucks, box
and panel vans, stake bodies, passenger vehicle, mechanic/service trucks, skid
steers, combination back hoes and busses. These vehicles must have an
operational yellow rotating/strobe light.
Hand operated equipment such as; concrete saws, dowel machines etc. and tow
behind equipment such as light wagons, compressors, trailers, etc, do not
require flags or rotating/strobe lights.
All vehicle lighting and flags must be maintained in good working order and
operational condition. Flags must be replaced by the contractor if they become
faded, discolored or torn.
73 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
e. Required escorts - All construction activities within the AOA will require CDA escorts to
be present and monitor contractor related activities. At no time shall the contractor
proceed to start work on site unless the escort is present. Requests for airfield escorts
are to be made through the resident engineer who will coordinate with CDA Operations.
Requests for escorts must be called in no later than 11:00 am the day prior to scheduled
work or by 11:00 am on Friday for weekend, Monday or holiday work.
f. Training requirements for vehicle drivers – In an effort to maintain the safest working
environment for all airfield users, it is required that ALL contractor personnel who
receive an O’Hare International Airport identification badge complete the required FAR
part 139.303 Airfield Driver Training Program, also referred to as “303 Training”. 303
Training is mandatory and must be completed prior to an employee’s initial access of
the AOA, and once each year thereafter. Under the scope of this project any employee
with a green badge with or without the yellow stripe MUST attend 303 Training.
g. Certified Flagger Training – Under the requirements of AC 150-5370-2F all personnel

flagging on an airport must be familiar with the specific requirements and limitations of
the construction project and taxiway crossing areas. All contractor flaggers are required
to attend the O’Hare flagger training program. All flaggers are required to have portable
radios for each crossing location to ensure continued communications between all the
flaggers.
h. Maintenance of the secured area of the airport – This project will also include the
installation of new AOA perimeter fencing behind the old Runway 32R approach. (see
fig. 50)
Under the design of this project all new security AOA perimeter fencing will be installed
and inspected by the TSA and CDA authorities prior to commissioning of the new fence
line. No breach of perimeter fencing is expected for this work. The existing perimeter
fence line will not be removed in this project and will be relocated under future
construction projects. It will be the responsibility of the contractor to maintain all AOA
perimeter fencing and adhere to all rules and regulations as described in the contract
documents and contractors drawings (Airfield Security Fencing and Access Protocol) and
will be coordinated with CDA Safety and Security.
74 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 50
210. Wildlife Management

Wildlife on or around airports can create a very hazardous situation for arriving, departing
and taxiing aircraft. It is the responsibility of the contractor as well as all involved working
on this project to be aware and eliminate any activities that can attract any form of wildlife.
a. Trash – It is the contractor’s responsibility to maintain and keep the construction project
site clean. All trash and debris shall be picked up and properly disposed of.
b. Standing water – Water that collects within the project site in excavations, tire ruts or
low graded areas as a result of contractor construction activities must be pumped out
immediately. Standing water can attract several types of wildlife which can be
hazardous to aircraft operations. Standing water that collects in the basins as a result of
normal storm water runoff does not apply to the above standards.
c. Tall grass and seeds – All trees, shrubs, vines, forbs, green roof plants, ornamental
grasses, sedges and turf grasses that are used within the AOA must meet the
Sustainable Airport Landscaping Specification 02905, Seeding Specification T-901 of the
Chicago Department of Aviation O’Hare Modernization Program Specifications.
75 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
All vegetation within the boundaries of this project must be maintained. Excessive
vegetation growth attracts several forms of wildlife that present serious hazards to
arriving, departing and taxiing aircraft. All safety/silt fence lines must be maintained so
vegetation height does not exceed 8” and flowering plants must be removed from the
construction site immediately. The Contractor will be responsible to have landscaping
crews available for removal of vegetation when growth approaches the 8" maximum
height.
d. Fencing and gates – All project installed fencing will be constantly maintained so grasses
do not exceed 8” in height. It will be the responsibility of the contractor to control and
maintain grass and weed heights along all fence lines for this project.
e. Disruption of existing wildlife habitat – Not applicable for this project.
211. Foreign Object Debris (FOD) Management

Foreign Object Debris can cost airlines, airports, tenants and contractors billions of dollars
every year in damage or injury to equipment and personnel. The contractor will be
responsible to develop a FOD management plan for this project and submit this plan with
the SPCD. All contractor employees must be aggressive in the mitigation of FOD issues. On a
daily basis employees will monitor the site for FOD or potential sources for FOD and remove
the hazard. FOD containers should be placed around a jobsite for FOD control. The word
“FOD” should be printed on it so it’s visible and noticeable to all employees.
Roll off dumpsters used on this project (regardless of size) shall be covered at ALL times.
All airfield personnel and vehicle drivers will monitor construction sites and any haul routes
that cross active taxiways for potential FOD hazards. Personnel are to make all efforts to
keep open/active taxiways clear of debris and FOD. If hazardous conditions exist, notify City
Operations immediately at 773-686-2255.
NEVER chase FOD! If debris or FOD is observed near, adjacent to or on an active runway or
taxiway, NEVER attempt to retrieve it. Contact City Operations and advise them of the
situation.
76 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
212. Hazardous Material (HAZMAT) Management

It is important that all contractors and sub-contractors are familiar with and knowledgeable
of the rules, regulations and procedures of the CDA Spill Prevention and Control Program
(SPCP). These procedures apply to ALL contractors working on the project. Of significant
importance to the SPCP is what type of spills must be reported; ALL SPILLS (which include,
but are not limited to; fuel, oil, deicing chemicals and solvents) regardless of volume, must
be reported to the OCC and subsequently to O’Hare Airport Operations. The affected
company will take all necessary precautions to prevent spilled fluids from reaching any
surrounding sewers or waterways, if it can be done without harm to any personnel.
Immediately surround any spill with approved containment materials, secure the site and
contact the OCC.
All personnel shall handle hazardous materials according to the guidelines as defined by the
product Safety Data Sheets (SDS) formally referred to as MSD sheets. Extra attention must
be applied during all fueling operations.
Anyone that causes or witnesses a spill ANYWHERE on the airfield MUST first report it to the
O’Hare Communication Center (OCC), and subsequently to City Operations. The OCC will
dispatch the Chicago Fire Department (CFD) to determine the severity of the spill, assist
with spill containment and cleanup and/or oversight if needed. CFD will issue the official
volume of product released for the responsible party to notify agencies if required.
All contractors are required to have clean up and spill kits on site at ALL times when
equipment is in use. Kits are to be of adequate size to handle fuel or oil spills for the size
and amount of equipment in use on the project at any specific time. The contractor must
develop and submit a spill prevention and control plan and incorporate these procedures in
the Safety Plan Compliance Document.
77 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321

lines of the airports (both landside and airside) the contractor shall request emergency
services by calling 773-894-9111, 24 hours a day. NOT 911!
In the event of an aircraft emergency the contractor will be advised through the
resident engineer, Airport Operations or airfield escort if they must leave the jobsite and
vacate the airfield. The contractor shall submit in the SPCD procedures for severe
weather conditions. Details should include notification procedures, personnel and site
protection.
d. Coordination with ARFF – The contractor will coordinate all activities that directly affect
ARFF procedures or responses with the resident engineer who will then coordinate
directly with a representative of the Chicago Fire Department.
e. Notification to the FAA – All requirements and requests for removal of FAA equipment,
and compliance with Federal Aviation Regulations (FAR) including but not limited to FAR
part 77 and 139, all applicable advisory circulars and FAA orders will be coordinated
through the resident engineer in a timely manner. Approvals for revisions or new
applications for changes to the project may take up to 90 days for FAA response.
78 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
f. NAVAIDS – The former 14L ALSF lighting fixtures and ICC cabinets will be removed and
returned to the FAA as part of work area 1I. No other runway NAVAIDS will be impacted
as a result of this project.
214. Inspection Requirements

To ensure the safe operation of the construction project and the safety of the airport and
the traveling public procedures are in place to provide continuous inspections to assure
compliance with all applicable FAA Advisory Circular and Regulations and CDA and OSHA
safety standards.
a. Daily Inspections – The contractor shall conduct a daily construction inspection of all
AOA construction activities. Airport Operations will also conduct daily self-inspections of
the construction area and advise the resident engineer of any deficiencies or violations
to FAR Part 139 or applicable advisory circulars.
Prior to the opening of any short term (daily or nightly) runways or taxiways, the
contactor must ensure all pavement areas are clean, free of construction equipment or
material and all affected airfield lighting circuits are operational. Refer to Appendix “B”
for a detailed FAR Part 139 construction inspection checklist.
b. Final Inspection - A final inspection and walk through of the project will take place prior
to opening any closed or restricted airfield pavements to aircraft operations.
215. Underground Utilities

O’Hare International Airport has very strict rules and regulations on locating, identifying,
marking and protecting all utilities that run through the airport. It is important for all
contractors to be aware of the seriousness of a utility strike on the airfield, understand
what to be on the lookout for, and know their responsibility when working around utility
lines.
All underground utilities shall receive added attention to assure no disruption of services for
the airport or surrounding tenants. The contractor shall locate utility crossings within the
project site. Utilities shall be marked according to CDA locating standards. All marked or
identified utilities must be exposed using hydro-excavating methods (mechanical excavating
is not permitted to expose or locate a marked utility) within 5’ (either side) of the utility
marker. Any utilities or cables damaged shall immediately be reported to the resident
79 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
engineer, CDA Airport Operations and follow the utility strike procedure. If damage is
caused due to negligence on the contractor all repairs will be at their own expense. Failure
to report any damaged utilities may result in disciplinary actions.
Shut down or disruption to any CDA, FAA or Local Utility shall be coordinated through OMP
utility coordinator. Requests for utility locates are as follows:
 Common Utilities – DIGGER (minimum 72 hours in advance)
 O’Hare Utilities – Through CDA via OMP utility coordinator (72 hours in advance)
 FAA Utilities – Through FAA via OMP utility coordinator (5 days in advance)
A “Dig Book” must be completed prior to any airfield excavations taking place on the
airfield, and MUST remain on the project site at all times.
216. Penalties
Rules, regulations and procedures are outlined and in place to ensure the safety of all
entities throughout the airport. Any violations to rules, regulations or procedures regarding
this project will fall under the responsibility of the contractor and its sub-contractors.
The contractor shall be responsible for any and all fines or penalties that may be assessed
either to them or to the Chicago Department of Aviation as a result of negligence or non-
compliance with airport rules, regulation and safety plans. Severity of fines or disciplinary
actions may include suspension or termination of badged employees to monetary fines to
termination of contract.
217. Special Conditions

Special conditions may affect the performance of work on the AOA. In these instances the
contractor will be notified of what actions must be taken by the resident engineer or CDA
Operations to ensure the safety of its employees and the general safety of the airport.
a. Winter Conditions - As much as possible CDA will allow construction activities through
the winter season which is defined as December 15 to April 15. However Snow removal
operations take precedence over all other activities during this time frame. A contractor
may be notified in short notice of cancellation or termination of work. It is the
contractor’s responsibility to coordinate work activities with the resident engineer to
keep project shut downs to a minimum during these months.
80 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
b. Severe Weather Conditions – During conditions of severe weather contractors will be

notified as best as possible by CDA Operations or construction management of
impending conditions. Contractors must take all precautions to ensure construction
material or debris does not become FOD and pose a hazard to the safety of aircraft or
employees working on or adjacent to the construction project. Contractors should have
a means of notifying employees of severe weather and evacuation plans if necessary.
c. VIP Arrivals - VIP activities at O’Hare international Airport are closely coordinated with
airport operations. At times VIP movements or activities will be in the vicinity of an
active construction project. For safety reasons, affected contractors will be required to
shut down construction operations for a specific portion of a project or at times the
entire project. Contractors will normally receive prior notice to any VIP activities.
CDA Operations will coordinate with the resident engineer to determine what
construction activities will be permitted and when work must be stopped. Construction
personnel may not be permitted to remain within the construction site during VIP
arrivals.
d. Aircraft/ Airport Emergencies - In the event of an airport or aircraft emergency Airport

Operations will notify the resident engineer if contractors should prepare all crews to
evacuate the airfield. Contractors are to stay cautious in the event of a significant
aircraft incident on the airfield. All construction crews are to be well informed regarding
proper procedures in the event of an accident. NEVER proceed to an accident site;
procedures are in place with the air traffic control tower, CDA and the fire department
to respond to all incidents. Contractors are required to contact the OCC for all airfield
emergencies at 773-894-9111.
e. Construction Moratoriums - Twice a year the FAA issues nationwide construction

moratoriums to minimize disruptions to the national airspace system due to
construction incidents that may affect FAA navigational equipment. During construction
moratoriums construction is not permitted in, around or adjacent to any FAA or CDA
airfield electrical or communication ductbanks, cables or facilities without proper
authorization from the FAA.
81 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Thanksgiving Day Moratorium:

Starts approximately 1 week prior to the holiday, ends up to 5 days after
the holiday.
Christmas/New Year Moratorium:

Starts approximately 1 week prior to the holiday, ends 1-3 days after the
holiday.
218. Runway and Taxiway Visual Aids

Runway and taxiway markings, lights and signs provide positive visual guidance to arriving,
departing and taxiing aircraft. It is imperative that all airfield markings, lights and sign are in
good condition and working order to ensure aircraft safety. Any of the above items that
become obscured due to construction activities will immediately be cleaned, repainted or if
damaged, immediately replaced.
Cleaning may entail hand washing, sweeping or high powered water pressure washing.
Critical markings such as runway mandatory hold bars, hold signs, and ILS hold bars shall be
constantly monitored and cleaned or repaired as required.
a. Runway markings, lights, signs, and NAVAIDS – Refer to work areas 1L and 1O for
complete details on runway changes to markings, lighting and signage.
b. Taxiway markings – Refer to individual work areas for complete details on all taxiway
changes to markings, lighting and signage.
219. Markings and Signs for Access Routes

Haul routes for this project as outlined in section 209 will utilize existing airport service and
access roads. All haul routes to the extent possible will be marked and signed in accordance
with all applicable FAA advisory circulars, the Federal Highway Administration Manual on
Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and /or local and state highway specifications.
All employees that receive an O’Hare Access badge will be required to attend a contractor
139.303 airfield safety training, which will discuss driving on the airfield, haul routes and
accessing project jobsites.
82 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
220. Hazard Marking Lighting and Signing

Proper placement and operation of barricades is critical to the safety of this project and
aircraft operations. Barricades provide a distinct point to identify to pilots of closed AOA
pavements or that hazards exist. Barricades also identify to construction workers the limits
of the construction project. Under no circumstances are contractors to drive past an AOA
barricade line unless under authorized CDA escort.
Barricades used for this project will consist of O’Hare type or highway type “1” barricades as
well as low mass, low profile barricades. All barricades shall have a minimum of one red
omni-direction hazard light. Due to the potential FOD hazard, obstruction flags are not to be
used on barricades. AOA barricades are required to delineate closed portions of the airfield
from open areas.
Due to the extremely busy operations and variety of aircraft that operate in and out of
O’Hare and the constant inspections and evaluations that must occur on the airfield on a 24
hour basis by numerous CDA departments (Operations, Electrical, Maintenance, ARFF), low
mass low profile barricades are sometimes not the best choice for short term closures at
the intervals as described in AC 150-5370-2F section 220.b.1.
On a daily basis CDA vehicles need to gain access into the jobsite. From Operations and
escort vehicles to ARFF vehicles. Due to various conditions, vehicles trying to get around the
barricade line will either need to drive through the grass area, possibly creating tire ruts
within the TSA or inadvertently knock down a taxiway edge light that may not be visible to
the driver. For short term closures it is not feasible to fill the units with water or sand due to
the numerous times they may need to be moved for various AOA closures. Without sand or
water the barricades are very susceptible to the effects of jet blast or high winds and can
create a potential FOD hazard or injuries to personnel.
Short term closures will be set up using O’Hare approved “A” frame or highway type 1 “A”
frame barricades spaced every 15’ (If O’Hare type barricades are not available it is approved
to use highway type “1” barricades for all AOA closures). This spacing will provide ample
room for CDA vehicles to enter and exit the site as needed, but also provide enough
barricades to be seen by taxiing aircraft. As best practice the location of the barricade line
will be at the TOFA of the open taxiway intersection or ROFA of an open intersecting
runway. However, this may not always be possible due to the limited spacing around
several transitional taxiways. In these cases the barricade line will be placed at the farthest
83 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
distance possible without encroaching upon other open taxiways, but may be within the
taxiway object free area of the open taxiway.
To further ensure all construction workers are familiar with the purpose of the barricades
and the reasons for the messages on the barricade panels. Barricades are covered in length
during all 303 training classes, so every contractor that receives a badge and works on the
airfield understands the importance and limitations of AOA barricade lines.
The contractor is required to review all barricade criteria defined below as well as criteria
referenced in section 207b.i. They must acknowledge these rules and procedures in the
Safety Plan Compliance Document (SPCD).
 All barricades must be in good working order. Damaged or broken barricades must
be repaired or replaced or cannot be used on the AOA.
 All “A” frame barricade signs and reflective tape must be visible at all times
 AOA Barricades cannot be set-up until approved by CDA Operations
 AOA Barricades cannot be removed until contractor is cleared by CDA Operations
 Quantities identified within the CSPP must be adhered to
 Barricade red obstruction lights must be 100% operational at all times.
 To facilitate future barricade set-up; the contractor may identify the location of each
barricade with a small paint mark on the pavement surface.
a. Short Term Closure Barricade Set-up –

Due to the limited time available for AOA closures and in an effort to maximize
productivity, daily and or nightly closures of taxiways and runways will be set up
using the following barricade spacing criteria: Taxiway and/or runway closures less
than 24 hours in duration will be permitted to use “A” Frame barricades spaced
every 15’. (See fig. 51). As best practice, barricades should always be set up outside
the OFA of an open pavement. However, this may not be possible for all locations. In
these situations barricade locations will be closely coordinated with CDA Operations
and will be placed as close to the OFA of the open pavement as possible. All
barricades are required to be 100% operational with no inoperative lights.
Barricades are to be clean so all reflective material is clearly visible. The graphics
below depict the barricade spacing for short term closures for various widths of AOA
Pavements:
84 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 51
b. Extended Closure Barricade Set-up –

Taxiway and/or runway closures that exceed 24 hours in duration will use a
combination of “A” frame barricades and low mass low profile barricades. “A” frame
barricades will be spaced at 15’ intervals with one low mass low profile barricade
between the “A” Frames. One “A” frame is always to be placed on the centerline of
the closed taxiway or runway, then evenly spaced every 15’ out. If directed by CDA
operations, gaps may be requested to provide for ARFF access into the closed
section of the pavement. Any gaps are to be located on the taxiway or runway edge
line, never on the centerline. For extended closures barricades must be filled with
sand or water. Any obstructions lights that are missing or damaged must be
immediately repaired. The placement of barricades for extended closures will be
located at the object free area for any intersecting taxiways or runways. On taxiways
where the close proximity of adjacent open taxiways will not permit the barricades
to be placed at the OFA, barricades will be placed as far out as possible. (See fig. 52)
85 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 52
As an addition measure to mitigate the potential of vehicle operators driving onto

active portions of the AOA, all badged construction personnel are required to attend
FAR Part 139.303 airfield safety training. The use of barricades, their location and
purpose are covered at great length to ensure all workers understand where they
can and cannot drive.
c. Protection of Excavations – All open excavations within the ROFA will utilize low
mass low profile barricades only or safety fence. Any barricades or safety fence
within the ROFA cannot be higher than 18”. Barricades will be continuously
connected unless requested by CDA, Operations openings will be maintained in the
barricade line for ARFF access.
Barricade placement and protection of excavated areas outside of a runway or

taxiway object free area for construction purposes will be permitted to use regular
highway “A” frame barricades, jersey barricade walls, or equivalent. At no time can
ORD Type “A” frame barricades be used to delineate excavations or construction
hazards.
86 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
d. Utility Lines - All utilities will be protected/identified using the approved ORD utility
markers. Markers are 2” PVC pipe with the appropriate utility identifier label affixed
to it. Utility labels can be obtained from the OMP utility coordinator. (See fig. 53)
Utilities that have been hydro excavated and must remain open will be readily
marked and clearly identified using approved methods in accordance with AC
150/5370-2F. If it is not required for an excavated utility locate to remain open, the
hydro excavated area shall be filled in and graded to meet FAR Part 139 standards.
Figure 53
e. Marking of Temporary Electrical Conduits/Circuits - Due to the inherent dangers of

airfield electrical circuits all temporary airfield lighting circuits will be designed so no
components of the primary circuit such as cable, connectors and transformers are
brought above ground at the edge light base can or sign. Temporary airfield lighting
circuits carrying components of the primary electrical circuit are required to be
87 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
trenched into the infield or pavement surface and terminated in a manhole or base
can. Secondary electrical circuits are permitted above grade. All secondary circuits
are to be placed in rigid conduit if located on a pavement surface where the
possibility of vehicle traffic is present.
Secondary cables placed in the infield can be placed in PVC or rigid conduits. PVC
conduit will be permitted in areas where there is no chance of vehicle traffic; if
vehicles are present cables must be installed in rigid conduit. All temporary conduits
shall be clearly marked and remain highly visible. Conduits on pavement surfaces
should be marked with paint and identified with wooden lathe or survey flags in
infield areas (identifying markers cannot exceed 18” in height if temporary conduit is
inside an object free area). Any temporary conduits within a safety area will need to
be coordinated through CDA Operations.
All conduit and base cans (if applicable) that are mounted on a paved surface must
be securely anchored/affixed to the pavement. Conduits may be required to be
ramped over with asphalt or concrete within any safety area.
All temporary airfield electrical circuits shall be in compliance with AC 150-5340-30G

specifically, Appendix A5-1.c (2) and (3)
Extended closures on runways for over 7 days will require all runway lighting circuits
to be locked out at the lighting control vault. If testing of runway circuits is required
during the duration of the extended closure this operation will be coordinated with
CDA Operations, CDA Electricians and the FAA Tower. All runway protection
markings such as mandatory hold signs, hold bars, surface painted hold signs, and
enhanced taxiway centerlines will be required to be removed or painted over.
f. Runway Closure Marker (RCM) - Runway Closure Markers will be placed at the
approaches of the runway for all short term and extended closures
g. Marking, Signing and Lighting Removal for Extended AOA Closures – Criteria for
the removal of AOA pavement markings has been establish according the duration
of the closure. This criteria is described as follows:
88 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
i. Short Term AOA Closure –

Closure of pavements for less than 24 hours: will not require the removal
of any paint markings, or require the placement of temporary edge lights.
Only barricades will be set-up for this duration of closure.
ii. Extended Closure 1 –
Closure of pavements between 24 hours and 7 days: This extended
closure will require the addition of one low mass low profile barricade
between the “A” frame barricades. This spacing will allow for an
approximate 2.5 foot gap between the edge of an “A” frame and low
profile barricade. This AOA Closure will not require the removal of any
paint markings, or require the establishment of temporary edge lights.
iii. Extended Closure 2 –
Closure of pavements for over 7 days: In addition the barricade
requirements listed for AOA Closure 2, this closure will require the
removal of all pavement markings and signage leading into the closed
portion of the taxiway, termination of lighting circuits within the closed
area or covering of lights. Temporary edge lights may be required as
directed within the contract drawings.
221. Protection of Airfield Critical Areas

Runway and taxiway safety areas provide a safe area adjacent to active pavements to allow
aircraft to maneuver in the event of an emergency and the aircraft leaves the pavement.
For this reason all safety areas must remain free of excavations, elevation changes greater
than 3" (up or down) and storing, staging or stockpiling of any material or equipment.
Safety areas must be protected during all construction activities and comply with all FAR
Part 139 standards. Any work within a safety area must be coordinated through the RE and
Airport Operations. Work will only be permitted in these areas when a runway or taxiway is
closed or restricted for a lesser aircraft design group. The contractor will be required to
place safety fence or silt fence at locations adjacent to all work sites at the limits of the RSA
or TSA to clearly identify them for necessary runways and taxiways. Fencing used in these
locations cannot exceed 18” in height.
a. Runway Safety Area (RSA) – Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within
the RSA while the runway is open. The contractor will be responsible to backfill,
compact and grade all open trenches and excavations prior to opening a runway
89 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
with suitable material. All damage to infield grass areas due to construction activities
MUST be repaired to meet FAR Part 139 standards prior to opening.
Survey marking lathe and utility markers are normally not permitted within the RSA.
If it is critical to mark, identify or locate an object or point within the RSA the
following criteria must be followed:
 Prior approval from CDA Operations before leaving anything within an RSA
 Utility locating flags can be used sparingly
 If survey hubs or lathe are used they cannot be higher than 3" from the
surrounding elevation.
b. Runway Object Free Area (ROFA) – Construction activities are permitted in a runway
object free area. However, at the completion of the work day all equipment,
material and stockpiles must be moved outside the object free area. Trenches and
excavations are permitted and may remain open but they must be prominently
marked with low mass low profile barricades, or silt fence. All barricades used within
a ROFA must not exceed 18" in height (see fig. 54). If required by CDA Operations
the contractor will be required to place safety fence at locations adjacent to all work
sites to identify the ROFA for a runways. Outside the ROFA regular height safety
fence is permitted.
Figure 54
90 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
c. Taxiway Safety Area (TSA) – Open trenches or excavations are not permitted within
the TSA while a taxiway is open. The contractor will be responsible to backfill,
compact and grade all open trenches and excavations prior to opening a taxiway
with suitable material. All damage to infield grass areas due to construction activities
MUST be repaired to meet FAR Part 139 standards prior to opening. The contractor
will be required to place safety fence at locations adjacent to all work sites to
identify the TSA for necessary taxiways. Fencing used in these locations cannot
exceed 18” in height
Survey marking lathe and utility markers are normally not permitted within the TSA.
If it is critical to mark, identify or locate an object or point within the TSA the
following criteria must be followed:
 Prior approval from CDA Operations before leaving anything within an TSA
 Utility locating flags can be used sparingly
 Survey hubs or lathe are used they cannot be higher than 3" from the
surrounding elevation.
d. Taxiway Object Free Area (TOFA) – Work within the taxiway object free area is more
restrictive than a ROFA due the potential of an aircraft wing tip penetrating this
area. Specific to this project, no work will occur within the TOFA while a taxiway is
open to air traffic. For daily taxiway closures; at the end of the work day all
equipment and stockpiles will be staged or parked outside the TOFA. No parking or
servicing of equipment will be permitted within the TOFA. If required by CDA
Operations the contractor will be required to place safety fence or silt fence at
locations adjacent to all work sites to identify the TOFA for necessary taxiways.
Outside the TOFA regular height safety fence is permitted. (see fig. 55)
91 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
Figure 55
e. Work within TOFA of open taxiway – As described in section 221.d construction

activities are not permitted within the taxiway object free area while the taxiway is
open for aircraft operations unless the following criteria can be adhered to. There
are several construction work areas within the 9C-27C East Package Project that may
require construction activities within the OFA of open taxiways. Limitations of taxi
routes and other construction projects may not permit closing of taxiways to work
within the OFA. Using the criteria and restrictions as detailed in Advisory Circular
150-5370-2F section 221.d(3), construction activity may be accomplished without
adjusting the width of the taxiway object free area, subject to the following
restrictions:
i. Appropriate NOTAMS are issued
ii. Marking and lighting meet provisions of sections 218 and 220.
iii. Five-foot clearance is maintained between equipment and materials and any
part of an aircraft (includes wingtip overhang). In these situations, flaggers
must be used to direct construction equipment, and wing walkers will be
necessary to guide aircraft. Wing walkers should be airline/aviation
personnel rather than construction workers. If such clearance can only be
92 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
maintained if an aircraft does not have full use of the entire taxiway width
(with its main landing gear at the edge of the pavement), then it will be
necessary to move personnel and equipment for the passage of that aircraft.
iv. Construction workers must complete the CDA certified flagger training
program to be qualified to serve as a wing walker for construction activities
only.
v. 92’ clearance (ADG V) and 97’ (ADG VI) clearance is maintained from the
edge of taxiway defined edge line to the closest construction work location.
(distance to be used from defined edge is based on taxiway design group)
vi. The above distances INCLUDE the required 5’ safety clearance as referenced
in paragraph c above.
vii. Flaggers MUST be present for EVERY construction operation. (One flagger
cannot watch two construction activities).
f. Obstacle Free Zone (OFZ) – Construction activities will not impact any runway
obstacle free zones.
g. Runway approach/departure surfaces – Construction activities will not impact any

runway approach or departure surfaces.
93 | P a g e
Project # OH6143.200.50.321
222. Other Limitations During Construction

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