O’Hare International Airport Construction Safety Phasing Plan
Runway 9C-27C East Package March 9, 2016
Project # OH6143.200.50.321

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)

Project Details:
The Runway 9C-27C East Package will include three (3) separate construction phases and each
phase will have several construction activities or work areas. The following describes the
project details for each phase. Phase work areas will be described in detail in section 206 of the
CSPP.

Phase 1:
Phase 1 is divided into 15 separate work areas and will include the following airfield
construction activities:
 NE cargo ramp demolition
 Airfield security access and guard booth construction
 Temporary aircraft parking locations
 Rehabilitation of the TT Taxiway
 Demolition of the H2 and temporary V Taxiways
 Construction of new airfield service roadway
 Construction of new airfield perimeter AOA fence line
 Converting a portion of Runway 14L-32R into a taxiway (Taxiway SS)
 Construction of new M and V Taxiway intersection
 Demolition of Runway 14L-32R pavement at the Runway 4L-22R and 9L-27R
intersections.
 Decommissioning of Runway 14L-32R
 Re-designation of Runway 14R-32L to 15-33

Phase 2:
Phase 2 is divided into 2 separate work areas and will include the following airfield construction
activities:
 Construction of a temporary airside perimeter roadway and perimeter AOA fence line
 Construction of new runway and taxiway pavement and infrastructure
 Tie in of new pavements to existing airfield pavements
 Return temporary landside construction area to airside.

Phase 3:
Phase 3 is divided into 2 separate work areas and will include the following airfield construction
activities:

 Construction of temporary taxiway pavement to connect Taxiway PP and Runway 27L
approach
 Demolition of existing PP Taxiway
 Construction of new runway and taxiway pavements
 Demolition of Runway 14L-32R pavement and infrastructure
 Demolition of former FBO building

The Runway 9C-27C East Package will consist of the following major construction activities:
 Excavation and Embankment
 Site Demolition
 Site Grading
 Underground & Site Demolition
 Storm Sewer Installations and Modifications
 Paving
 Site Utility Modification
 Temporary Erosion Control and Final Infield Restoration
 Airfield Lighting and Signage Installation
 Airfield Marking
 Airfield Service Road Relocation
 AOA perimeter fence relocation

At project completion (around July 31, 2018) approximately 2,500’ of the new runway and
2,300’ of the new parallel taxiway will be completed. Existing Taxiways H2, PP and a portion of
V Taxiway will be removed and graded. In addition to the above pavement removal areas;
Runway 14L-32R pavement will also be removed and graded in the following areas: (See fig. 2)
 Between Runway 4L-22R and Runway 9R-27L
 North of Runway 4L-22R (within ROFA)
 South of Runway 9L-27R (within ROFA)

New Taxiways “SS”, “PP” (Future “B”), “TT” and “V” will be commissioned and operational for
air traffic.

The sequence of this project and nature of both the design and actual construction will have an
impact on aircraft operations. It is intended in the design and construction coordination of the
project to have the least amount of impact and daily disruption to the airline community. Close
coordination between the contractor, Chicago Department of Aviation (CDA), Federal Aviation
Administration (FAA), Construction Management (CM) team and Airlines is critical in the success of

the project and to afford minimal impacts to the air carriers. The impact of work to the AOA is
discussed in detail in section D "Plan Requirements" and graphically depicted in various figures
and contract drawings throughout the document.

b. Pre-bid Conference – The OMP construction manager representative along with the
Chicago Department of Aviation shall conduct a pre bid conference to help clarify and
explain construction methods, procedures, quality issues and safety requirements of the
contract. The approximate date of the pre-bid conference will be around the end of
March 2016. The following entities will be invited to attend and speak at the pre-bid
conference:
Project designers
OMP - Construction Management representatives
