10. Description of Proposed Construction: The funds requested will be used to provide financing for architectural and engineering services for Air Force Military Construction and host nation funded construction programs. 11. REQUIREMENT: LS PROJECT: As required. ADEQUATE: LS SUBSTANDARD: LS REQUIREMENT: These planning and design funds are required to complete the design of facilities in the FY07 Military Construction Program, initiate design of facilities in the FY08 Military Construction Program and accomplish planning and design for major and complex technical projects with long lead-time to be included in subsequent Military Construction programs. Also provide funds for value engineering and for the support of design and construction management of projects that are funded by foreign governments and for design of classified and special programs. In addition, these funds are also used for developing Tri-Services Cost Estimating Guide and Unified Facilities Criteria. 5. PROGRAM ELEMENT 91211 12. SUPPLEMENTAL DATA: 4.

Description of Proposed Construction: Provide a lump sum amount for unspecified construction projects not otherwise authorized by law. Minor construction projects costing less than these limits are authorized to be funded from the operations and maintenance appropriation. Includes construction, alteration, or conversion of Permanent or temporary facilities. 11. REQUIREMENT: LS PROJECT: As required. ADEQUATE: LS SUBSTANDARD: LS REQUIREMENT: Minor construction projects authorised by 10 U.S. Code 2805 are military construction projects with an estimated funded cost between $750,000 and $1,500,000; however, projects with an estimated funded cost of $1,000,000 to $3,000,000 may be funded under this authority when specifically planned to correct a life, health or safety deficiency. This package provides a means of accomplishing urgent projects that are not identified but which are anticipated to arise during FY06. Included would be projects to support mission requirements, support of new equipment and concepts, and other essential support to Air Force missions and functions that could not wait until availability of FY06 Military Construction Program funds. DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE MILITARY FAMILY HOUSING NARRATIVE SUMMARY This Military Family Housing request reflects the Air Force's commitment to revitalize inadequate houses and provide service members with homes that meet contemporary standards similar to the size and floor pattern of homes constructed in the local community. The Air Force created the Air Force Family Housing Master Plan (FHMP) as the "roadmap" to guide our planning and programming of investment, operations and maintenance, and privatization in military family housing. This budget request fully funds the AF FHMP to meet Air Force's 2007/2009 goal: eliminating all inadequate housing units in CONUS by FY 2007 (except 4 northern bases by FY 2008) and overseas by FY 2009. The Air Force FHMP provides a balanced, requirements based strategy that integrates and prioritizes traditional construction and operations and maintenance, with a measured approach to privatization into a single "roadmap." The FHMP recognizes that we rely on the local community to provide 60 percent of our military family housing needs. When local community housing is unavailable, or inadequate, or demand for base housing is high due to economic factors, we construct, replace, improve, or repair and maintain existing military family housing to modern-day, industry standards. Also, where possible and fiscally appropriate, we attempt to lease adequate housing for our families. Consistent with AF FHMP priorities, this budget provides a program that emphasizes construction to upgrade homes to whole-house standards, and supports operations and maintenance of our housing inventory for daily operations to "keep the doors open" and where needed to keep "good houses good." In this way we prevent deterioration in our existing adequate inventory. We are accelerating revitalization of inadequate homes in the worst condition by improving or replacing to contemporary standards, where economically justifiable. The operations, maintenance and leasing accounts predominantly support "must pay" requirements. These costs include service contracts, lease contracts, utilities, and essential maintenance for operating the units and contract funding to correct life safety, health, and facility preservation issues that cannot wait for MILCON funding. DoD developed a new Housing Requirements and Market Analysis (HRMA) process to determine the housing requirements in 2003. As a result, the Air Force conducted HRMAS for all installations in 2003/2004. The on-base housing requirements were reduced and surplus housing identified. The Air Force established policy and strategy to dispose of the unneeded surplus housing through Military Construction (MILCON), privatization, conveyance, transfer, conversions and demolition. This budget request reflects the implementation of our surplus housing policy and strategy. The Air Force is also committed to continuing a measured approach to privatization to revitalize where projected life-cycle costs are similar or better than traditional military construction and operations and maintenance life-cycle costs. The AF FHMP proposes three additional housing privatization initiatives in FY 2006. We propose to privatize more than 2,200 housing units at (301) |
