Design Parking Garages, Lots 7 & 9 $10,000,000 Design Renovation Upgrades, CHOB $7,500,000 This design project will provide a comprehensive phased renovation Replace Windows, FHOB $4,900,000 This project will replace 1,451 windows in the FHOB in two phases. $4,700,000 This project will provide emergency lighting systems throughout the (BOCA) and National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) life safety codes. In the event that utility power to the RHOB fails, many of the exit signs throughout the RHOB that identify points of egress will not have an emergency power source. Additionally, many utility rooms, machine rooms, egress routes, and adjacent tunnels throughout the complex lack emergency lighting. Impact if not funded: The building occupants will continue to be subjected to egress risks during a building emergency. FTE Impact. This project may require up to three FTEs above the existing FTE cap. Exterior Waterproofing, HUGS $4,500,000 This project will provide for a watertight seal to the House Extend Sprinkler Systems, HOB $3,300,000 This project will provide full sprinkler system coverage to all of the HOB-8 of 10 HOB Perimeter Security $3,000,000 This project will install bollards, hydraulic barriers, and shelters from C Street and Washington Avenue SW, along D Street toward First Street SE, and to the intersection of First Street and C Street SE. Decorative bollards will be installed around Lot 4 and the O'Neill parking lot. Impact if not funded: The House Office Buildings perimeter security will not be completed and security will be compromised, potentially placing members, staff, and visitors at risk. FTE Impact: This project may require one FTE above the existing FTE cap to serve as the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). Emergency Lighting, LHOB $2,700,000 This project will ensure that emergency lighting systems throughout the Replacement of Escalator Bank, RHOB $2,000,000 This project will modernize four escalators in the RHOB (Escalator Bank Two) to ensure that they are fully equipped with current safety features required by the safety code. Additionally, the escalators are 40 years old and are in poor condition. Each escalator will be removed sequentially to minimize interruptions. Impact if not funded. Service interruptions will continue with non-compliance to the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) safety standards. FTE Impact: This project may require one FTE above the existing FTE cap. Design, Audibility & Intelligibility Fire Alarm Upgrade $1,700,000 This design project will modernize and expand coverage of the existing fire alarm annunciation system to comply with the current audibility and intelligibility code requirements. Impact if not funded: The construction to upgrade the fire alarm annunciation system will not be performed, placing members, staff, and visitors at risk in the event of an emergency. FTE Impact: This project may require one FTE above the existing FTE cap to serve as the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). Existing Fire Alarm System Upgrade Study & Design $1,250,000 This study and design will first survey the existing fire alarm systems in the FHOB, LHOB, RHOB, and the East and West House underground garages, and then develop a design plan to modernize all of the fire alarm systems to current technological standards. Impact if not funded. The fire alarm systems will not be upgraded, potentially placing members, staff, and visitors at risk in the event of an emergency. FTE Impact: This project may require one FTE above the existing FTE cap to serve as the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). Fire Alarm System Upgrade, HOB (Less RHOB) $1,100,000 This project will upgrade the existing fire alarm systems of the CHOB, Minor Construction $5,000,000 This project provides flexibility for unforeseen needs including minor construction, repair, and major alteration projects, and related activities in connection with construction and maintenance activities of the House Office Buildings. Impact if not funded: The ability to execute projects to meet unforeseen requirements in a timely manner will be adversely This project m affected. FTE Impact: This project may require up to 40 FTEs above the existing FTE cap. HOB-9 of 10 *FY 2003 Actual represents total obligations of funds incurred in FY 2003, irrespective of the year of appropriation HOB-10 of 10 ARCHITECT OF THE CAPITOL Capitol Power Plant The Capitol Power Plant (CPP) is the Capitol Complex's centralized provider of utility services not available from other sources. The CPP also houses several functions related to the Legislative Branch Telecommunications Network and also provides dedicated space for satellite communication dishes. The CPP operates and maintains a central steam plant that provides steam for heating, and a central refrigeration plant that provides chilled water for air conditioning, and all the tunnel distribution and metering systems associated with delivering these utilities. Steam and chilled water are provided for several Legislative Branch clients within the Capitol Complex, to include the U. S. Capitol Building, Senate Office Buildings, Senate garage, House Office Buildings, House garages, Library of Congress Buildings, and the U. S. Botanic Garden. The CPP also provides steam and chilled water on a reimbursable basis to other clients, some of whom are not Legislative Branch entities. FY 2005 CAPITOL POWER PLANT BUDGET The FY 2005 CPP Budget consists of an annual budget and a multi-year budget which are summarized in the following table: Significant changes include the increases in Utilities ($6,274,000); Payroll FULL-TIME EQUIVALENT REQUIREMENTS The FY 2005 FTE requirement contained in the below table reflects an increase of 23 FTEs over the FY 2004 level of 94. This increase includes the realignment of 20 FTEs (all supporting high voltage and energy functions) from the General Administration appropriation to the CPP appropriation, the realignment of two FTEs currently supporting the Electronics Engineering Division from the General Administration appropriation, and one new FTE to support CPP operations. The FY 2005 CPP annual budget request is $59,386,000 which represents a 33.1% increase over the FY 2004 budget of $44,626,000. The annual budget consists of "Annual Recurring" and "Annual Nonrecurring" costs. Annual Recurring costs are broken down into Program Groups (as defined in the AOC General Statement) and Annual Nonrecurring costs are broken down into discrete activities. Justifications for the proposed 33.1% increase in the recurring and non-recurring FY 2005 CPP Annual Budget are provided in the section titled, "Analysis of Change." MULTI-YEAR BUDGET The FY 2005 CPP multi-year budget request is $3,990,000, which CPP- 1 of 10 |
