INTRODUCTION

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) requires the development and implementation of a Safety and Security Management Plan (SSMP) for major capital projects as defined in 49 CFR Part 633, Project Management Oversight. Additionally, FTA Circular 5800.1 – Safety and Security Management Guidance for Major Capital Projects, dated August 1, 2007, identifies specific safety and security activities that must be performed and documented in the SSMP. The SSMP is developed as part of the recipient’s Project Management Plan (PMP) and must be updated if required whenever the PMP is revised. This document, the M-1 RAIL SSMP, has been developed to meet the above requirements and all known safety and security-based codes, regulations and guidelines. The M-1 RAIL Streetcar System will be constructed and operated by M-1 RAIL.

1.0 MANAGEMENT COMMITMENT AND PHILOSOPHY 1.1 Safety and Security Policy Statement

M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project

The mission of M-1 RAIL is to be an effective participant in the continuing development of a high-quality, livable environment in the City of Detroit by supporting streetcar development, serving high-density areas and by delivering safe, reliable, clean, cost-effective transit service. Safety and security are paramount and a core value in all M-1 RAIL operations, including project development, engineering, construction, testing, commissioning, and acceptance of the streetcar system.

M-1 RAIL is committed to a goal, which is to strive for safety results above industry norm. To meet this goal, three key objectives have been established:

1. Avoid loss of life, reduce injury and minimize damage or loss of property.

2. Install an awareness of safety and security in all M-1 RAIL employees and contractor personnel.

3. Provide for the identification and elimination or control of hazards, threats and vulnerabilities through a systematic approach of auditing and analyzing the operational system.

Roy Bryans, the M-1 RAIL Safety and Security Officer, is directed and empowered to develop, implement and administer a comprehensive, integrated and coordinated System Safety and Security Program. All M-1 RAIL staff members, including consultants and construction personnel, are directed to comply with the provisions of this SSMP. The Program is to emphasize preventative activities and responsibilities of each department in an effort to identify, control and resolve threats, vulnerabilities and hazards during design, construction and operational phases of transit service. Accordingly, the M-1 RAIL Safety and Security Officer is empowered to order the cessation of activities or operations, which are evaluated as presenting an immediate and serious hazard, threat or vulnerability within the transit system.

(10)

Accountability for safety and security rests with each employee, supervisor, and manager. All are responsible for meeting the safety and security requirements inherent to their position. Individual employees must comply with the safety rules and procedures applicable to their work duties. Supervisors and managers must comply with safety policies and standards applicable to their departments. Managers are responsible for fostering support through the commitment of resources to eliminate safety, security or health hazards.

2.1.1 Project Development

2.1.1.1 - Develop Safety and Security Policy. The safety and security policy of the project has been developed and is stated on page one of this document.

2.1.1.2 - Identify Existing Safety & Security requirements for the Acquisition

Process. The safety and security requirements for acquisition are being developed through the Design Criteria Manual and are inherent in the final design and the Certifiable Elements List (CEL).

2.1.1.3 - Develop the SSMP and Update as Applicable. M-1 RAIL has developed Version 4 of the SSMP.

2.1.1.4 - Assign Safety and Security Certification Responsibilities. Safety and Security certification responsibilities are assigned in the initial version of the SSCP. These responsibilities will be defined further as the project progresses through the engineering phase.

2.1.1.5 - Establish Safety and Security Committees. This includes Safety and Security Certification Committee (SSCC), Safety and Security Operations Committee (SSOC), and a Fire/Life Safety and Security Committee (FLSSC).

2.1.1.6 - All safety and security committees are chaired by the Safety and Security Officer Roy Bryans. The SSCC is responsible for assuring that the proper system requirements have been established, that systems safety reviews will be performed at each stage of the project, and that sufficient documentation supports the review and resolution of identified deficiencies.

The SSOC will ensure all safety requirements and regulations for operation of the M-1 RAIL Streetcar system are met and that policies and procedures are kept up to date in order to keep the system and passengers safe. The FLSSC will coordinate between M-1 RAIL and external emergency response agencies. The SSCC and the FLSSC have been established and are operational. The SSOC will be established when a private operator is retained.

2.1.1.6 - Develop the Safety and Security Certification Plan (SSCP) and update as applicable. The SSCP provides the formal basis of understanding and agreement among all members of the project team regarding how the SSCP will be executed. It describes safety and certification management, certification processes and procedures, hazard and vulnerability management, and the certification of conformance. Currently, a draft of the SSCP has been prepared and will be updated as applicable.

2.1.1.7 - Identify Safety and Security Certifiable Elements and Items. A list of safety and security certifiable elements, CEL, has been prepared and incorporated into the SSCP. The CEL will continue to be developed for use in certifying all M-1 RAIL systems. The CEL will include all project elements that can affect the safety and security of M-1 RAIL passengers, employees, contractors, emergency responders, or the general public.

(17)

2.1.1.8 - Initiate Project Safety and Security Documentation system. A centralized document management system has been implemented for all M-1 RAIL activities to maintain basic project configuration management. This system will implement a coordination, approval, control, and distribution process for all policies, procedures, and documents developed for the program. M-1 RAIL has acquired and implemented SharePoint secure document management software to facilitate this activity. The Owner’s Representative has been issued M-1 RAIL licenses as needed and will use SharePoint on behalf of M-1 RAIL in support of all DMS activities.

2.1.1.9 - Perform Preliminary Hazard Analyses (PHA); update and perform additional hazard analyses as applicable. PHAs are conducted to identity potential hazards that could affect the M-1 RAIL system. M-1 RAIL defines a hazard as any condition or set of conditions, internal or external to the system or system operation which, when activated, can cause injury, illness, death, or damage including loss of equipment or property, or severe environmental damage. The results of the hazards analyses are evaluated for criticality and ranked according to severity and frequency of occurrence in order to establish an initial risk index. Mitigation measures are proposed to provide a residual risk index. All identified hazards will be tracked through Project closure.

The draft general project PHA is in progress and will address the following system elements:  Guideway  UPS  OCS  Train Control  Traffic Control  Electrical/Facility Power  Traction Power  Stations  Trackwork  Vehicles

2.1.1.10 - Perform Threat and Vulnerability Assessment (TVA); update and perform additional threat analyses as applicable. M-1 RAIL defines a threat as a real or potential condition that can cause injury or death to passengers or employees, or damage to or loss of transit equipment, property, and/or facilities. Vulnerability is a measure of the susceptibility of the transit system to specific threats. The TVA examines threats to and vulnerabilities of the transit system to evaluate the risk and consequences from security threats. M-1 RAIL’s TVA process generally follows the FTA’s System Security and Emergency Preparedness Planning Guide. This process is similar to the one used for evaluating hazards in PHAs. A matrix is constructed and threats are analyzed based on likelihood of occurrence and vulnerability. The matrix allows for a qualitative categorization of threats. The threat categorization allows M-1 RAIL to ascertain countermeasures, cost impacts of mitigation, and approval levels for accepting risk.

(18)

2.1.1.11 - Prepare Safety and Security Design Criteria; update and revise as applicable. The Design Criteria Manual (DCM) was developed for Project Development and Engineering. The DCM provides a uniform basis and framework for defining the project based on established codes, standards, and criteria applicable to streetcar systems. The DCM is intended to define requirements to direct the project designers in the various project design disciplines and ensure safety and security requirements are incorporated throughout all project design phases. The DCM is a living document and will be revised as necessary throughout the design process.

2.1.1.12 - Integrate Operations & Maintenance Requirements into the Design. M-1 RAIL has consultant personnel with streetcar operational experience that are integrated into the design development and review process. M-1 RAIL consultants have participated in hazards assessment on similar modern streetcar projects and have provided perspective on design issues throughout the design process. The M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project will continue to integrate M-M-1 RAIL operational and maintenance experience into the development of the M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project.

2.1.1.13 - Develop and verify design criteria Conformance Checklists. Checklists will be created for each certifiable element to record requirements generated from safety and security design criteria. These checklists provide a format to verify compliance with identified safety and security requirements.

2.1.2 Engineering

2.1.2.1 - Implement Hazard and Vulnerability Resolution and Tracking. Hazards and vulnerabilities will be tracked in an integrated conformance checklist as outlined in section 4.2 of the M-1 RAIL SSCP including a Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) and Threat and Vulnerability Assessment (TVA). The PHA is the initial safety analysis document prepared during final design. The PHA is provided to Project contractors and will support their development of additional hazard analyses that may be required. A TVA is developed during final design and will be updated as the Project progresses. M-1 RAIL will manage the identification and resolution or mitigation of hazards and vulnerabilities as described in the PHA and TVA documents that describe the tracking of safety hazards and security vulnerabilities to closure.

2.1.2.2 - Perform Safety and Security Design Reviews. Design reviews will be performed by M-1 RAIL and the Owner’s Representative for each design package prepared by the Final Designer. Design reviews have occurred at the Preliminary (30%), Semi-final Design (70%) stages and will occur at the Final Design (100%) stage of each package to verify the project is complying with the DCM.

(19)

2.1.2.3 - Identify Safety & Security Requirements for Test Programs Plans, Integration Tests, and Operational Readiness Reviews. Contractor and integration testing requirements will be reviewed for safety and security considerations to determine if the testing will verify safety and security design and construction requirements. M-1 RAIL will identify a minimum level of safety and security conformance that should be met, as well as the criteria used to assess this conformance. Safety/security-related test results will be documented, as appropriate, in the Specification/Design Conformance Checklist. Examination of test plans and programs will commence during the Final Design phase.

2.1.2.4 - Develop and Complete Specification/Drawing Conformance Checklists.

The specification conformance checklists will verify that all safety and security- related specification and contract document requirements are satisfied during the construction, installation, and testing phases of the project. Each certifiable element will be listed to verify that the safety and security design requirements have been incorporated into the as-built facilities and systems.

Proposed deviations from project design criteria and standards will be evaluated for impact to the safety and security of the streetcar system through the project change control and configuration management process and approved by the SSCC and Safety and Security Officer as appropriate.

2.1.2.5 - Develop Construction Specifications, including Construction Phase Safety and Security Requirements. Construction specifications will include identification of tests and verification methods necessary to ensure that the as-built configuration contains the safety and security-related requirements identified in the design criteria and other contract documents. Construction specifications will facilitate the development of documentation that verifies the delivered project meets the established safety and security requirements.

2.1.3 Construction

2.1.3.1 - Verification of Safety and Security Requirements Procured, Constructed, and Installed – Update CEL. In the construction phase of the project the following safety and security activities will be implemented:

Verify and document that procurement, installation, and construction comply with the design and update of the CEL using safety and security construction/installation certification checklists developed from the design phase checklists,

Confirm items from the CEL conform to their intended requirements after being procured and installed during the construction process.

2.1.3.2 - Construction Site Safety and Security Audits/Inspections. Conduct site inspections to verify that safety and security requirements are being addressed during construction.

2.1.3.3 - Safety & Security review of Engineering Change Orders & Waivers. The SSCC will review deviations from the approved design, workarounds, change orders, and other temporary measures.

(20)

2.1.3.4 - Issue permits & certificates (as applicable). Temporary permits and workarounds will be issued to facilitate construction, occupancy, and testing newly constructed/installed equipment. These permits and certificates will be reviewed for safety and security impacts. The process will continue into the testing and start-up phase.

2.1.3.5 - Update Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Manuals, Plans, Procedures, and Training. The Safety and Security Operations Committee will work with the Operations Contractor to review O&M manuals, plans, and procedures for compliance with safety and security requirements. Update and integrate M-1 RAIL system requirements into the documents.

The Operations Contractor will prepare qualifications and training programs for all personnel who will operate and maintain the project in revenue service and be responsible for ensuring that its O&M training programs address the safety and security elements of plans, rules, operating procedures, emergency procedures, and manuals for the project and trainees demonstrate their understanding of the course material that is presented.

2.1.4 Systems Integration Testing

In the testing and start-up phase of the project the following safety and security activities will be implemented:

2.1.4.1 - Systems Integration Testing. Integration testing verifies the functional interface between different equipment and/or systems of the streetcar system, including those systems related to safety and security.

Through the use of the CEL, verify, document, and confirm that integration test results demonstrate compliance with safety and security requirements and substantiates safety and security design/performance criteria. The system integration test results will ensure compatibility among components, vehicles, and system elements after being tested and operated in a simulated operations environment. Update the CEL accordingly.

2.1.5 Pre-revenue Operations

2.1.5.1 - Pre-revenue Operations. Pre-revenue operations tests are those tests that require acceptance of all systems and are designed to verify the functional capability and readiness of the system as a whole. The testing ensures that all systems are functioning safely and securely prior to the system being placed into operation.

2.1.5.2 - Complete Operational Readiness Review. The Operational Readiness Review will verify that emergency training for all streetcar and public safety personnel has been completed and that emergency drills have been conducted. It will also verify that operations, maintenance, and emergency rules, procedures, and plans have been developed, reviewed, and implemented.

(21)

2.1.5.3 - Prepare and Issue Safety Certification Report and Certificate. A safety certification report will be issued detailing the certification process, project milestones, and certification program outcomes. The report and certificate verify through appropriate documentation that a certifiable level of operational system safety and security has been achieved.

2.2 Procedures and Resources

A Project Management Plan (PMP) for the M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project has been prepared. The PMP:

establishes the framework for managing and administering all activities related to the implementation of the Project

outlines the project management processes and the M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project Team organizational structure

provides guidance for the coordination of activities

M-1 RAIL has developed the Safety and Security Certification Plan (SSCP) which details all of the pertinent certification steps and methodologies.

M-1 RAIL’s involvement in the safety and security management process begins during design and continues through the construction, testing, and final verification phases of the project. Implementation of the SSCP document will assure M-1 RAIL that the requirements of the SSMP are executed by the M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project Team; including but not limited to the performance of safety analyses and security assessments, if required, at the appropriate phases of the project. The implementation of a Safety and Security Certification Program from the start of the project ensures that safety issues and security concerns are addressed and tracked to resolution. To ensure that SSCP safety and security activities are performed effectively and within the requirements of the SSMP, periodic audits are performed by the SSCC and/or M-1 RAIL staff.

The ultimate responsibility for the construction project safety and security programs always remains with the M-1 RAIL. Procedures are available to the M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project Team for the protection of project information that is considered and marked as Sensitive Security Information (SSI).

The following are two categories of security information that are relevant to the M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project Team during the safety and security certification phases of the Project: 1. Critical Infrastructure Information (CII): refers to the M-1 RAIL systems and assets,

physical or computer-based, that are vital to national or regional defense and/or national or regional security. For the purposes of this policy, examples of critical infrastructures include the streetcar stations, rolling stock, and Operations computers and equipment that support the operation of the rail system.

2. Sensitive Security Information (SSI): information defined in 49 C.F.R. §1520.5, including, but not limited to, vulnerability assessments, security programs, and contingency plans, that are generated by M-1 RAIL or by a covered person under 49 C.F.R. § 1520.7, which has been, or will be, submitted to the Transportation Security

(22)

Administration or the Secretary of Transportation.

The M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project Team will manage these processes, with the assistance of the Detroit Police Department.

2.2.1 Safety and Security Contractors

M-1 RAIL has developed the Safety and Security Certification Plan to support the new streetcar alignment. The Safety and Security Certification Program encompasses construction programs and projects that have safety or security impacts on the system. Additionally, 49 CFR Part 659 – Rail Fixed Guideway Systems, the Federal Transit Administration Circular 5800.1 and the MDOT Office of Rail, (the authority responsible for providing rail safety oversight of the M-1 RAIL Streetcar System) all require the development and implementation of a Safety and Security Certification Program for construction of the M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project.

The M-1 RAIL Owner’s Representative will provide safety and security support services as needed to M-1 RAIL’s Safety Committees and management staff. The M-1 RAIL Owner’s Representative will also provide safety and security certification technical support to the M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project Team, as required and requested by the Contracting Offices Technical Representative (COTR).

The following are potential tasks that may be required from the M-1 RAIL Owner’s Representative for Safety and Security Certification Program Support:

Review and comment on Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) conducted by the Final Designer

Review and comment on Threat and Vulnerability Assessment (TVA) conducted by the Final Designer

Attend and support M-1 RAIL’s SSCC as requested by the COTR

Review and comment on the checklists developed by the Final Designer to verify that contract documents comply with design criteria, specifications, test and operational conformance procedures related to safety and security

Monitor, review, and audit verification activities

Figure 2-3: M-1 RAIL Streetcar Operations Organization

In the following discussion, the Chief Operating Officer, the Owner’s Representative and the Safety and Security Officer are referred to as the M-1 RAIL Management Team. The project managers, Safety Committees, and Detroit Police support the M-1 RAIL Management Team as required. The level of assistance is dependent on the particular needs of the Management Team. The M-1 RAIL Streetcar Project Team provides the resources/consultants for the execution and oversight of the project’s safety and security activities.

2.3.1 Hierarchy of Safety and Security Communication

Safety and security issues can be raised from project personnel and contractors to subsequent higher levels of management through the following communications structure. Issues should progress up the management chain from project discipline designers and engineers to their Final Designer discipline managers. If unresolved, the issue can be referred to Owner’s Representative discipline managers. At some point, most likely after the issue has been referred to the Final Designer discipline managers, the issue may be referred to the Safety and Security Officer for resolution.
