H.R. 4833, the Dyess Air Base Access Infrastructure Design Act, directs the Secretary of the Air Force to develop planning and design plans for improvements to two vehicle gates at Dyess Air Force Base in Texas: the Tye Gate and the Arnold Gate. The Tye Gate project is authorized at up to $17 million (with design costs capped at 7 percent of that total), while the Arnold Gate project is authorized at up to $12.065 million (with design costs capped at 8 percent). The designs must address specific challenges at each gate, such as minimizing utility conflicts and phasing construction at the Tye Gate, and managing site congestion and complex traffic coordination at the Arnold Gate. The Air Force will fund these planning and design activities using existing military construction budget allocations rather than requiring new appropriations. This legislation essentially sets the stage for potential future construction at these base access points by requiring the Air Force to complete the groundwork planning needed before any building projects move forward.
