Attachment 15
CONSTRUCTION PHASING PLAN
AND
OPERATIONAL SAFETY ON THE AIRFIELD DURING CONSTRUCTION
A15.1. Contents. A construction-phasing plan should be included in the contract documents. The
purpose of a phasing plan is to establish guidelines and constraints the contractor must follow during
construction. It is recommended the construction-phasing plan be submitted for coordination and review at
the concept and design stage. At minimum, the plan must be coordinated with Airfield Management,
Airfield Operations, Communications, Ground and Flight Safety, Environmental, Security Forces and
Logistics.
A15.2. Navy and Marine Corps Requirements. This attachment does not apply to the Navy and Marine
Corps other than to provide applicable Navy publications where additional information may be found.
A15.3. Information to be Shown on the Construction Phasing Plan. The phasing plan should include,
but is not necessarily limited to, the following:
A15.3.1. Phasing. All construction activities will be separated into phases. The phasing plan will
show or describe the sequence of construction activity for each phase. The phasing plan will be
incorporated into the contractor's management plan and reflected in the progress schedule. The work
area limits, barricade, and temporary fencing requirements will be clearly delineated for each phase.
The work area limits should include identification of restricted areas requiring escorts and free zones
with secure areas.
A15.3.2. Aircraft Operational Areas. The phasing plan will identify active aircraft operational areas
and closed pavement areas for each phase.
A15.3.3. Additional Requirements. If required, the location of flagmen, security guards, and other
personnel should be shown. These locations should be supplemented in the specifications.
A15.3.4. Temporary Displaced Thresholds. Temporary displaced thresholds and temporary displaced
threshold lighting requirements should be shown. These details will be presented in the drawings and
supplemented in the specifications.
A15.3.5. Access. Construction vehicle access roads, including access gates and haul routes, will be
shown.
A15.3.6. Temporary Marking and Lighting. Temporary pavement marking and lighting details will be
presented on the phasing plan. Marking and lighting details are presented in AFI 32-1042 Standards
for Marking Airfields, AFI 32-1044, Visual Air Navigation Systems, and TM 5-811-5, Army Aviation
Lighting.
A15.3.7. Safety Requirements and Procedures. A section on safety on the airfield during the planned
period of construction activity.
A15.4. Other Items to be Shown in the Contract Drawings. The following items are not necessarily a
part of the phasing plan, but will be included in the contract documents.
A15.4.1. Storage. The contractor's equipment and material storage locations.
A15.4.2. Parking. The contractor's personnel vehicle parking area and access routes to the work area.
A15.4.3. Buildings. Location of the contractor's offices and plants.
