CHAPTER 2: MISSION, GOALS, ADMINISTRATION AND POLICY Regardless of which management model is utilized, a Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) may be established. The purpose of the PAC is to inform parents, provide input to the center, raise funds, and provide volunteers. A representative of the PAC generally serves as a liaison for the parents, either by serving on the board or by working directly with the agency. 2.6 GSA Policy for Allocating Costs GSA’s Public Buildings Service (PBS). The GSA’s PBS is the “landlord” for child care centers located in GSA-owned or controlled space. The GSA PBS typically provides finished space, and will provide planning, design, and construction services. Center rent is typically billed as “joint use” space. PBS collects the annual user charge from the sponsoring agency (ies). GSA, in partnership with the sponsoring agency, ensures that telephone services, utilities, physical maintenance and janitorial services are provided to the center and that the space is safe and environmentally healthy. Rent charges are set per GSA’s pricing policy. It is GSA’s intent to provide an operable center for the sponsoring agency(ies). The following are the baseline provisions for child care centers in the GSA system: � Standard finishes and features for typical office space prescribed by the latest edition of GSA’s Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service. � Cabinets, millwork, and all built-in items as defined in the Guide. � Special finishes and features as defined in the Guide. � Furniture and equipment as listed in the Guide (subject to RCCC approval). � Power, conduit for wiring, and space for electronic communication and security equipment as defined in the latest edition of GSA’s Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service. � Security equipment as defined by the GSA, based on the FPS Building Security Assessment for the identified site. Power, conduit for wiring, and space will be provided as defined by the latest edition of GSA’s Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service. Security equipment requested for the center, but not required by the GSA, will be funded by the requester and provided by GSA. 2-4 � Fire protection systems (e.g., fire detection, fire alarm, and fire suppression) as defined by the latest edition of GSA’s Facilities Standards for the Public Buildings Service and as amended in the Guide. � Laundry equipment and a kitchen with heavy duty equipment, capable of accommodating full food service or meals prepared by an on-site cook. Specifics about the grade of required equipment must be clarified at the time of the concept design. 2.7 A/E Submission Requirements � Fully readable, half-size drawings are to be submitted to the RCCC and the Architect, Office of Child Care, for review at various stages of design development as per the scope of work for the project. � A sample board of finish materials is to be submitted to the RCCC and Architect, Office of Child Care, for approval. � Paint mock-ups as detailed in this Guide for selection purposes.
