Bill > S2109

This bill requires the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct planning and design activities for an addition to a child development center (CDC) at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas. The project will have a total budget not exceeding $6.5 million, with planning and design costs limited to no more than 9% of that amount. The design activities must specifically address several key considerations, including integrating the new addition with existing facility systems like fire alarms, fencing, utilities, and access control. Additionally, the design must account for continued use of the center during construction, allow for potential future extensions on both ends of the facility, and include redesigning outdoor spaces such as playgrounds. The planning and design will be funded using existing resources from the Department of the Air Force's unspecified minor military construction authority. This bill aims to improve child care facilities for military families at Dyess Air Force Base by enabling preliminary design work for a center expansion.
