PART 1
GENERAL
**************************************************************************
NOTE: If mission on an existing facility is to be
operational during construction, a scheduling plan
properly coordinated with the airfield or heliport
users should be developed and included as part of
the bid package. Maximum outage time allowed should
be specified for critical lighting, visual
navigational aids and utility systems. Minimum
advance notice (48 hrs, 72 hrs, etc.) for proposed
outages should be specified. Consider transfer of
control from the control tower to the alternate
control point (vault) to maintain the mission for
limited times during construction and to minimize
mission disruption and potential cost growth during
construction. If this is not possible, the
scheduling can be delegated to the construction
