                      ACQUISITION REGULATION (HSAR)
 
Sec. 3052.236-70  Special precautions for work at operating airports.

    As prescribed in (HSAR) 48 CFR 3036.570, insert the following 
clause:

      Special Precautions for Work at Operating Airports (DEC 2003)

    (a) When work is to be performed at an operating airport, the 
Contractor must arrange its work schedule so as not to interfere with 
flight operations. Such operations will take precedence over 
construction convenience. Any operations of the Contractor which would 
otherwise interfere with or endanger the operations of aircraft shall be 
performed only at times and in the manner directed by the Contracting 
Officer. The Government will make every effort to reduce the disruption 
of the Contractor's operation.
    (b) Unless otherwise specified by local regulations, all areas in 
which construction operations are underway shall be marked by yellow 
flags during daylight hours and by red lights at other times. The red 
lights along the edge of the construction areas within the existing 
aprons shall be the electric type of not less than 100 watts intensity 
placed and supported as required. All other construction markings on 
roads and adjacent parking lots may be either electric or battery type 
lights. These lights and flags shall be placed so as to outline the 
construction areas and the distance between any two flags or lights 
shall not be greater than 25 feet. The Contractor shall provide adequate 
watch to maintain the lights in working condition at all times other 
than daylight hours. The hour of beginning and the hour of ending of 
daylight will be determined by the Contracting Officer.
    (c) All equipment and material in the construction areas or when 
moved outside the construction area shall be marked with airport safety 
flags during the day and when directed by the Contracting Officer, with 
red obstruction lights at nights. All equipment operating on the apron, 
taxiway, runway, and intermediate areas after darkness hours shall have 
clearance lights in conformance with instructions from the Contracting 
Officer. No construction equipment shall operate within 50 feet of 
aircraft undergoing fuel operations. Open flames are not allowed on the 
ramp except at times authorized by the Contracting Officer.
    (d) Trucks and other motorized equipment entering the airport or 
construction area shall do so only over routes determined by the 
Contracting Officer. Use of runways, aprons, taxiways, or parking areas 
as truck or equipment routes will not be permitted unless specifically 
authorized for such use. Flag personnel shall be furnished by the 
Contractor at points on apron and taxiway for safe guidance of its 
equipment over these areas to assure right of way to aircraft. Areas and 
routes used during the contract must be returned to their original 
condition by the Contractor. Airport management shall establish the 
maximum speed allowed at the airport. Vehicles shall be operated so as 
to be under safe control at all times, weather and traffic conditions 
considered. Vehicles must be equipped with head and taillights during 
the hours of darkness.

                             (End of clause)
