PART 1
GENERAL
**************************************************************************
NOTE: If the 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 phase of the project by inserting
