Bill > S2105

This bill directs the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct planning and design activities for two infrastructure improvement projects at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas: the Tye Gate and the Arnold Gate. For the Tye Gate project, the Secretary is authorized to spend up to $17 million, with planning and design costs not exceeding 7% of the total budget, and the design should focus on minimizing utility crossings, avoiding conflicts with existing infrastructure, and simplifying construction phases. For the Arnold Gate project, the Secretary can spend up to $12.065 million, with planning and design costs not exceeding 8% of the total budget, and the design must address site congestion, multiple utility connections, phased construction, and complex traffic coordination. The bill specifies that these planning and design activities will be funded using existing military construction account funds already allocated to the Department of the Air Force, effectively requiring no additional appropriation. The goal appears to be improving access and infrastructure at two gates of the Dyess Air Force Base in Texas, with careful consideration of design and cost efficiency.
