######## FISCAL YEAR 2004 BUDGET OVERVIEW

I**NTRODUCTION**

The General Services Administration (GSA) was established by the Federal
Property and Administrative Services Act of 1949. For more than half a
century, we have acquired goods and provided services and facilities to
support the needs of other Federal agencies. GSA's Mission, Values and
Goals are:

####### Mission

We help federal agencies better serve the public by offering, at best
value, superior workplaces, expert solutions, acquisition services and
management policies.

## Values {#values .unnumbered}

-   Ethics and integrity in everything we do

-   Respect for fellow associates

-   Teamwork

-   Results orientation

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Professionalism

####### 

####### Strategic Goals

-   Provide best value for customer agencies and taxpayers

-   Achieve responsible asset management

-   Operate efficiently and effectively

-   Ensure financial accountability

-   Maintain a worldclass workforce and a worldclass workplace

```{=html}
<!-- -->
```
-   Carry out social, environmental, and other responsibilities as a
    federal agency

###### 

###### President's Management Agenda

The President's Management Agenda (PMA) strives to develop a government
that is citizen-centered, results-oriented and market-based. To assist
agencies in achieving this goal, the PMA focuses on five key areas: 1)
competitive sourcing, 2) expanded electronic government, 3) improved
financial performance, 4) strategic management of human capital, and 5)
budget and performance integration.

###### 

###### Improving Performance

In support of the GSA-wide goals and the President's Management Agenda
each Service and staff office has developed and implemented performance
goals. Progress against these goals is measured and tracked for each
operational unit. The fiscal year 2004 budget identifies initiatives
associated with these goals and the resources required to fund the
initiatives.

For example, the budget request for the Governmentwide Policy and
Operating Expenses accounts supports the Electronic Government (e-Gov)
agenda and the GSA goal to provide Best Value for customer agencies and
taxpayers. Key performance goals are:

-   Promote the consistent use of XML for federal e-Gov initiatives to
    achieve improved electronic services to customers

-   Provide expertise to improve web site development and operation, and
    achieve common shared solutions for e-Gov initiatives

-   Provide consolidated, fully integrated end-to-end travel service
    governmentwide

Another example is the resources of the Federal Buildings Fund budget in
support of the GSA goal of responsible asset management and the
following PBS performance goals:

-   Reduce the amount of non-revenue producing space

-   Reduce environmental risks

-   Reduce energy consumption

-   Deliver repair and alteration projects on-time and within budget

# BUDGET TOTALS AND FUNDING SOURCES

Measured in obligations, GSA's fiscal year 2004 budget request totals
approximately \$20.2 billion. Most funds, \$19.7 billion, come to GSA
from customers through reimbursements to revolving funds for the
purchase of goods and services, or as Rent paid for space in GSA-owned
and leased buildings.

We are requesting appropriations of \$264 million for GSA direct funded
activities and an appropriation of \$217 million to the Federal
Buildings Fund.

**BUDGET HIGHLIGHTS**

The fiscal year 2004 budget request emphasizes: 1) electronic-government
and 2) asset management

## Electronic Government

Expanding the scope and level of Federal (E-Gov) services is one of the
five key government-wide initiatives of the President's Management
Agenda. GSA's budget request for E-Gov initiatives will lead to savings
compared to maintaining old system investments and provide a base to
build a citizen-centric government.

Key initiatives funded in the budget are:

-   Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA) \$2.5 million: The FEA will
    greatly aid the Administration\'s ability to manage E-Gov projects
    more effectively and use the budget process to insist on more
    effective planning of IT investments by government agencies. Through
    its' standardizing of component IT architecture, the FEA will act as
    a road map, requiring interoperability and eliminating costly
    redundancy in future IT investments.

-   XML Registry \$2.1 million: Existing E-Gov initiatives can benefit
    from the sharing of resources and the reuse of data architecture
    components. The XML Registry will allow agencies to share data,
    structure, and business processes in order to reduce the
    promulgation of redundancies.

-   E-Travel Management \$2.8 million: The e-Travel initiative underway
    in the Office of Governmentwide Policy and our partner agencies will
    establish a standard booking engine as well as a consistent travel
    and voucher system for the Federal Government. The Travel Management
    Office will be established to guide the adoption of the e-Travel
    services, manage enhancements to the system, and complete
    deployment.

-   E-Gov Solutions/Citizen Services Infrastructure (CSI) \$4.4 million:
    The fiscal year 2004 budget will provide expertise to improve
    website development and operation and achieve common shared
    solutions across Federal agencies. Enhancements will also be made to
    several of the existing E-Gov Solutions services.

-   Integrated Acquisition Environment (IAE) (\$7 million): FSS, via the
    General Supply Fund, will continue to play an important role in
    expanding electronic government. IAE will serve as the access point
    for various acquisition support services and will provide a set of
    tools and capabilities that can be leveraged by the acquisition
    community to conduct business across the government.

## 

## Asset Management

The Public Buildings Service budget request includes \$1.0 billion for
repairs and alterations.

This includes:

-   \$365 million for basic (non-prospectus) Repairs and Alterations

-   \$106 million for limited scope projects

-   \$477 million for major modernizations

-   \$20 million for glass fragmentation retention program

-   \$5 million for energy conservation program

-   \$5 million for chlorofluorocarbons program

-   \$35 million for design of new projects

The PBS budget request also includes \$400 million for new construction
of needed facilities for critical executive agency functions. This
includes:

-   \$146 million for the U.S. Census Bureau in Suitland, MD

-   \$58 million for the FBI in Houston, TX

-   \$186 million for eight Border Stations

-   \$10 million for non-prospectus construction and acquisition

##### San Diego -- Border Station.....................................................\$34,211,000

The General Services Administration proposes the reconfiguration and
expansion of the San Ysidro Port of Entry in San Diego County, CA, to
accommodate increasing traffic volumes, correct safety deficiencies, and
provide adequate conditions for agencies to conduct their inspection
mission as mandated by Congress. The project will expand the port of
entry by 17.5 acres to consolidate government ownership of the site. The
new facility will provide a total of 205,000 gross square feet and 400
to 500 outside parking spaces.

Work involves demolition of this port of entry (POE), including the
primary and secondary inspection areas, headhouses, and agency office
spaces. Reconstruction work includes the widening of the northbound
lanes, installation of up to 50 northbound primary inspection booths,
construction of a new headhouse with a secondary inspection area with
overhead canopies, and construction of new administrative office space
for the inspection agencies. In addition, a new southbound inspection
facility will be constructed; this facility is anticipated to be a
smaller version of a northbound facility, complete with primary and
secondary inspection facilities and agency office space.

This POE into the United States is the busiest land port of entry in the
world, accommodating approximately 50,000 vehicles and 18,000
pedestrians per day through the facility. The northbound vehicle
wait-times at the Port are routinely 45 minutes and can reach up to two
hours in length during peak traffic times.

The existing POE is insufficient in both space and design to handle the
increasing pedestrian and vehicular traffic moving through this
facility. Consequently, it has come under increased stress and is no
longer able to fully support the operational needs of the tenant
inspection agencies. Despite several major renovation projects, the
interior space layout of the main building is problematic and illogical.
In addition, the 30-year-old structures do not comply with current
seismic codes and safety codes.

This request is for site (\$25,630 thousand) and design (\$8,581
thousand). Construction (\$128,450 thousand) and management and
inspection (\$6,109 thousand) will be requested in a future fiscal year.
The estimated total project cost is \$168,770 thousand.

##### Jackman -- Border Station......................................................\...\$7,712,000

The General Services Administration requests additional funding for the
U.S. Border Station to be constructed in Jackman, ME. The events of
September 11, 2001, have greatly impacted the missions, operations and
space requirements of U.S. Inspection Agencies at border crossings.

The present facility at Jackman, ME is deteriorated beyond repair and
has reached the end of its useful life. The new facility will replace
the existing border station that is overcrowded and functionally
obsolete. It will be constructed on approximately 6.3 acres of land,
using the site of the existing station that will be demolished, infill
of a portion of the existing government owned site plus land to be
acquired. The existing station is no longer equipped to process the
volume of traffic which passes through it, and does not meet the
existing or future requirements of the tenant agencies in terms of size,
efficiency, and security.

The events of September 11, 2001, have caused U.S. Inspection agencies
to shift their mission focus on increased counter terrorism efforts.
These increased efforts have significantly altered the agencies'
operational and functional space requirements at border crossings. In
particular, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, Animal Plant Health
Inspection Service (APHIS) now has a requirement for a significantly
larger program at the Jackman port of entry. The original project
included only a small office/lab operation for APHIS. Since the events
of September 11, 2001, APHIS' requirements now include a much larger
laboratory facility, two commercial inspection bays; a kennel; an
incinerator and trash area, and office and storage areas to accommodate
a staff of eight employees. Moreover, APHIS' increased space needs at
this location will severely impact the project site, which at 2.3 acres,
is already undersized and severely constrained. As a result of this
extremely constrained site, the cost of site preparation and associated
work increased.

## Jackman -- Border Station - continued

In addition to the APHIS requirements, the Immigration and
Naturalization Service and U.S. Customs program has also expanded to
include an additional outbound inspection lane, the expansion of the
commercial inspection facility from four bays to eight, an additional
agency vehicle garage plus more office areas to accommodate a larger
than anticipated staff.

The original project scope was funded as follows: design (\$868
thousand) was appropriated in fiscal year 2002 and construction (\$7,967
thousand) is pending fiscal year 2003 appropriation action. Because of
the change in scope required and to the keep the proposed project on
schedule to meet client mission requirements, additional site
acquisition (\$500 thousand) and design (\$727 thousand) funds are also
pending fiscal year 2003 appropriation. This request is for the balance
of construction (\$6,267 thousand) and management and inspection
(\$1,445 thousand). The estimated total project cost is \$17,774
thousand.

##### Suitland -- U.S. Census Bureau.............................................\$146,451,000

The General Services Administration proposes to construct a second
facility for the Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census (Census)
located at the Suitland Federal Center (SFC) in Suitland, MD and to
demolish the Federal Office Building 4 (FOB 4) and the Federal Office
Building 3 (FOB 3). The proposed second building at the SFC will total
730,000 gross square feet and house an 864-space structured parking
garage to complete the Census consolidation plan. The proposed project
represents phase two of an overall plan to provide a new headquarters
facility for Census employees, currently located in FOB 3, FOB 4,
Suitland Federal Center 2 (SFC 2), and various leased locations near
Suitland.

The FOB 4 does not meet current GSA standards for air circulation, fire
and life safety, or accessibility for the physically challenged. The
building systems are inadequate and present potentially serious fire and
life safety issues. The water in the building is not potable, and it has
been determined that only a complete replacement of the plumbing systems
will rectify the problem. Similar problems exist in SFC 2 and FOB 3.

Construction is the most expeditious and cost-effective solution to
housing the Census. Construction of a new facility to house Census
employees currently located in FOB 4 will provide relief from building
contamination and other workplace problems, before the next Decennial
Census in 2010. Construction will also eliminate the need for leased
swing space associated with a renovation, thereby reducing the cost of
the project.

Funding for design (\$8,187 thousand) was transferred from Census in
fiscal year 2002 as part of the cost of the first building project. This
request is for construction (\$138,672 thousand) and management and
inspection (\$7,779 thousand). The estimated total project cost is
\$154,638 thousand.

##### 

##### The General Services Administration proposes the expansion of the Ambassador Bridge Cargo Inspection Facility, Detroit, MI. The facility is 27,276 gross square feet with 75 commercial truck spaces and house 40 employees. GSA proposes to acquire ten acres of land, renovate the existing building and construct a 23,500 gross square foot addition, and increase parking. This project will expand the facility to 50,776 gross square feet and provide a total of 80 employee parking spaces and 150 commercial truck parking spaces.

## Detroit -- Ambassador Bridge Border Station -- continued

The facility is the busiest commercial border crossing in North America.
The border station processes over 7,000 trucks per day, although the
border station was originally designed to accommodate only 2,000 trucks
per day. This occurs from a combination of insufficient traffic lanes,
poor stacking, inadequate truck parking, too few inspection booths, and
overlooked custom broker facilities. The extremely long processing times
are causing the compound to experience gridlock.

Site acquisition (\$7,531 thousand) and design (\$1,939 thousand) were
funded in fiscal year 2002. This request is for construction (\$23,535
thousand) and management and inspection (\$1,852 thousand). The
estimated total project cost is \$34,857 thousand.

##### 

##### Champlain -- Border Station.....................................................\$35,031,000

The General Services Administration proposes the modernization and
expansion of the border station in Champlain, NY. The existing facility,
which is over 30 years old, is functionally obsolete and can no longer
safely process the current high volume of traffic. The new facility will
expand over 25 acres adjacent to the existing facility and provide
72,612 gross square feet and provide 510 outside parking spaces.

GSA proposes the expansion of the existing facility. The major
components of the project include: a new, relocated and expanded
commercial vehicle queuing, parking and inspection area on portions of
currently owned land and on land to be acquired along the western edge
of the existing border station; eight new primary cargo inspection lanes
with booths and canopies for commercial traffic; a new secondary
inspection warehouse and office building for commercial cargo and
Infrastructure for the customs brokers' prefab offices; a new cargo
x-ray facility; the enclosure of five secondary auto inspection bays;
the relocation and construction of a new export control building; range
and vehicle impound area, each with small service buildings.

This station ranks sixth nationwide in the number of commercial vehicles
inspected. The proposed project will alleviate the current situation in
which truck traffic routinely backs up three to five miles into Canada,
creating severe traffic hazards and significant air pollution. The rapid
growth in commercial truck and bus traffic has created unsafe conditions
on the highway that enters the station from Canada.

Design (\$500 thousand) was funded in fiscal year 2000 through TEA-21
Legislation. Design (\$2,800 thousand) was transferred from Department
of Transportation (PL 106-345) in fiscal year 2001. Site (\$409
thousand) and additional design (\$91 thousand) was appropriated in
fiscal year 2002. This request is for construction (\$32,512 thousand)
and management and inspection (\$2,519 thousand). The total estimated
project cost is \$38,831 thousand.

#### TEXAS

##### Del Rio - Border Station..........................................................\$23,966,000

The General Services Administration proposes the construction of Phase
III of the Border Station located in Del Rio, TX. This will expand the
building to an 110,560 gross square foot (gsf) facility. This expansion
includes a 22,594 gsf main administration building; eight primary and 24
secondary vehicle inspection lanes; a 2,479 gsf secondary inspection
building; four primary commercial inspection lanes; 15 additional import
dock spaces; exit control facilities; line release facilities; 3,038 gsf
of kennel space and 744 gsf narcotics storage vault.

Currently, the main administration building at this port is 34 years old
and has never benefited from significant renovation. The tenant's space
needs have increased and can no longer be accommodated by this building.
Also, the building has experienced significant storm damage due to the
tropical storm, Charley, in August 1998. Expansion requirements along
with storm damage require replacement of this structure. The additional
lanes and pedestrian processing area will reduce wait times for crossing
the border and allow for the introduction of new technology that

####

# Del Rio - Border Station -- continued

facilitates cross border movement. Traffic in this area steadily
increasing, making necessary the additional lanes and facilities
proposed.

Design (\$1,869 thousand) was funded in fiscal year 2002. This request
is for construction (\$21,640 thousand) and management and inspection
(\$2,326 thousand). The estimated total project cost is \$25,835
thousand.

##### Eagle Pass -- Border Station..................................................\...\$31,980,000

The General Services Administration proposes the construction of a
border station facility in Eagle Pass, TX, to replace temporary border
station inspection lanes, a temporary import dock, and other temporary
border station functions. The new facility will provide a total of
153,950 gross square feet and 130 outside parking spaces.

Construction of a second bridge was recently completed between the
cities of Eagle Pass, TX, and Piedras Negras, Coahuila. Permanent
Government-owned facilities are needed at the new bridge to replace the
temporary facilities currently provided by the city of Eagle Pass. Truck
traffic that currently travels through downtown Eagle Pass will be
rerouted to the new bridge. The temporary facilities are inadequate to
handle the increased volume of traffic. This second crossing will help
alleviate traffic congestion in the downtown areas of both cities as
well as enable the Federal Inspection Service agencies to process the
three types of traffic more quickly. The Immigration and Naturalization
Service will soon implement its Entry/Exit Program, and the new border
station may be used in conjunction with this initiative.

Design (\$2,256 thousand) was appropriated in fiscal year 2002. This
request is for construction (\$28,735 thousand) and management and
inspection (\$3,245 thousand). The estimated total project cost is
\$34,236 thousand.

##### Houston -- Federal Bureau of Investigation.......\.........................\$58,080,000

The General Services Administration proposes construction of a 394,750
gross square foot (gsf) facility, including 345 inside and 50 outside
secured parking spaces, and 400 code required additional surface parking
spaces, for the Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Field Office,
Houston, TX.

The existing FBI leased office building has a long history of structural
problems and inadequate floor loading capacity for the operational needs
of the FBI. It has glass curtain wall construction, does not provide
sufficient setback from adjacent surrounding streets, and does not
feature progressive collapse prevention design or construction. The
central open atrium of the existing leased building is inefficient and
is highly restrictive as to layout and space utilization potential.
These current lease location issues cannot be resolved sufficiently to
meet current FBI security and blast protection needs, nor does the
building lend itself to efficient layout or utilization of space.

The new facility meets current standards for federal construction along
with the most current standards of the FBI. In addition, the Automotive
and Radio Maintenance Facility will be housed on the same property with
the main building, which will increase efficiency in operations.

Site (\$2,737 thousand) and design (\$3,531 thousand) was appropriated
in fiscal year 2002. This request is for construction (\$54,672
thousand) and management and inspection (\$3,408 thousand). The
estimated total project cost is \$64,348 thousand.

##### McAllen --Border Station..........................................................\$17,938,000

The General Services Administration proposes the design and construction
of the Anzalduas Border Station, McAllen, TX, which will provide 64,785
gross square feet and 162 outside parking spaces. The proposed project
is for construction of permanent border station facilities to support
the Anzalduas Bridge. The proposed border station will include an
administration building; non-commercial inspection facilities, including
for primary northbound lanes for private vehicles, a dedicated lane for
northbound buses, 12 lanes for secondary inspection, and headhouse; an
export dock with associated offices; a kennel; and associated site work
and paving.

##### 

**McAllen -- Border Station - continued**

The proposed border station will relieve border congestion, particularly
at Hidalgo and also at Pharr, and is needed to assist the Federal
Inspection Service (FIS) agencies in fulfilling their mission. The
border station will be strategically located, allowing a significant
portion of the international traffic to flow into the U.S. without
encountering the growing congestion occurring on the Reynosa urban
street system.

The passage of The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has
contributed to making the McAllen/Hidalgo/Mission area one of the
fastest growing areas in the country, thus increasing traffic along the
U.S./Mexico border. Additionally, Reynosa is one of the most successful
cities along the northern Mexico frontier in attracting new Maquiladora
plants. The existing Hidalgo-Reynosa International Crossing is now
heavily congested on any average business day, with regular users of the
bridge expressing concern about increasing delays and inconvenience.
Maintaining the status quo will result in further congestion at the
border.

The Anzalduas crossing will be strategically located to the west of
Reynosa, allowing a significant portion of the international traffic to
flow into the U.S. without encountering the growing congestion occurring
on the Reynosa urban street system. Furthermore, tighter immigration
policies and increased drug enforcement policies have contributed to the
workload increases at all existing ports of entry. The proposed
Anzalduas Border Station will relieve border congestion, particularly at
Hidalgo and also at Pharr, and is needed to assist the FIS agencies in
fulfilling their missions. Additionally, the Presidential Permit
donating the site stipulates that the border station be operational by
2005.

This request is for design (\$2,375 thousand), construction (\$13,872
thousand), and management and inspection (\$1,691 thousand). The
estimated total project cost is \$17,938 thousand.

# WASHINGTON

##### Blaine -- Border Station....................................\.........................\$9,812,000

The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes to replace the Border
Station in Blaine, WA that was originally built in 1976. The port
operates as a non-commercial 24 hour a day, seven day a week port
processing automobile, recreational vehicles, bicycles and pedestrians.

The existing port is functionally and operationally obsolete. The
facility is too small and does not meet Immigration and Naturalization
Service, U.S. Customs Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and
Animal Plant Health Inspection Service-Plant Protection and Quarantine
current or future requirements in terms of size, efficiency, safety or
security. Overcrowding in the inspection area and in the lobby areas
impose serious safety hazards for travelers and the inspection officers.

The facility does not meet current building codes, has obsolescent
mechanical, electrical, and fire and life safety systems. The Port of
Entry lacks adequate parking, maneuvering areas and a clear and
well-defined traffic pattern for visitors, and employee parking. There
is no secure parking for impounded vehicles. Also, there are no
detention cells. The lack of a secured location is hampering the safe
execution of a major component of the USCS mission.

This request is for site (\$7,060 thousand) and design (\$2,752
thousand). Construction (\$29,446 thousand) and management and
inspection (\$ 2,672 thousand) will be requested in a future fiscal
year. The estimated total project cost is \$41,930 thousand.

Funds in the amount of \$10,000 thousand are requested for the
development of projects below the \$2,290 thousand prospectus threshold.
Nonprospectus funds have been used to erect special purpose storage
buildings, border station facilities, depot service and warehouse
buildings, and a small courthouse. The funds have also been used to
acquire a motor pool, build parking lots, purchase sites, build
childcare facilities, and purchase property in conjunction with
Presidential National Historic Sites.

##### Denver -- Byron G. Rogers Federal Building -- Courthouse.........\$48,436,000

The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes the modernization of
the Byron G. Rogers U.S. Courthouse at 1961 Stout Street in Denver, CO
for the U.S. District and Circuit Courts, and the U.S. Marshals,
presently housed in the building. The project proposes alterations to
the courthouse to improve mechanical systems and workspace operational
performance and installation of seismic resistant connections and
upgrading of the security system. Also, the project proposes the
refurbishing of elevators and the installation of a freight elevator;
strengthening part of the 4^th^ floor structure to accommodate the
library, upgrading of the electrical system components; improvement of
the buildings exteriors; and the construction of a tunnel access in the
court's sub-basement.

Asbestos and lead paint materials would pose a serious health risk to
construction workers of this project and therefore must be removed prior
to construction start. Court accessibility does not comply with the
Americans With Disabilities Act standards. Fire alarm and sprinkler
systems do not comply with current codes and are too inadequate to
protect tenants in case of fire. Several building component connections
are insufficient to resist material collapse during expected seismic
activity. The building lacks emergency power for emergency systems
operation.

Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems are outmoded, deteriorated,
functionally inadequate from years of deferred maintenance and aging and
require major repairs and/or replacement to provide for acceptable
building operational performance. Prisoner circulation system is
severely inadequate to meet court security standards. The building lacks
a sally port to receive prisoners. Existing space is too operationally,
functionally, and fashionably outdated to adequately meet tenants'
modern workspace requirements, and consequently require alterations to
meet tenants' needs.

Design (\$3,688 thousand) was appropriated in fiscal year 2002. This
request is for additional design (\$467 thousand), construction
(\$44,008 thousand), and management and inspection (\$3,961 thousand).
The estimated total project cost is \$52,124 thousand.

## 320 First Street........................................................................\$7,485,000

The General Services Administration proposes additional funding for the
320 First Street Building in Washington, DC. The original project
intended to replace all windows in the building; however, historic
preservation concerns have turned the project from a replacement into a
renovation. This prospectus proposes to renovate, including blast
mitigation, the building's windows, replace HVAC system components and
replace an existing chiller. Built as the headquarters of the Acacia
Mutual Insurance Company in 1928, the Home Owners' Loan Corporation
Building, located at 320 First Street, NW, Washington, DC, consists of
280,338 gross square feet (244,471 rentable square feet) with 39 outdoor
parking spaces. This historic building currently houses employees of the
Federal Bureau of Prisons and is used as the agency's national
headquarters.

This project proposes to renovate the building's existing windows, which
includes removal of widow caulking and lead based paint and installing
interior blast resistant storm windows. An existing chiller will be
replaced, including the installation of pumps and piping as needed to
support the new chiller. The project will also replace poorly
functioning HVAC system components.

The HVAC system components have exceeded their useful lives and are
performing poorly. During times of peak load requirements, the cooling
system must run for 20 hours per day to approach the GSA minimum air
quality requirements, resulting in an extremely excessive use of energy.
In addition, the long operating durations cause premature wear and tear
on the building's mechanical systems. Replacing the components will
preserve the existing HVAC system and associated supporting systems.
Replacing system components will require some asbestos removal,
temporary duct work, and a temporary air handling unit during the
construction period.

Design (\$722 thousand), construction (\$7,215 thousand) and management
and inspection (\$323 thousand) were funded for the original project in
fiscal year 2002. This request is for the balance of the new project:
design (\$543 thousand), construction (\$6,631 thousand) and management
and inspection (\$311 thousand). The estimated total project cost is
\$15,745 thousand.

**Federal Office Building
8......................................................\$134,872,000**

The General Services Administration proposes to renovate the Federal
Office Building 8 located at 2nd & C Streets, SW, in Washington, DC.
This project will renovate the entire existing structure, creating
office space in a building that was designed for, and used as, research
laboratories for the Food and Drug Administration.

The building systems, such as the electrical, plumbing and heating,
ventilation and air conditioning are outdated and functionally obsolete.
Upgrading these systems will improve building's operations, energy
efficiency, and employee productivity.

The building does not include the necessary fire and life safety
requirements currently demanded by code. Therefore, elevators and
stairwells will be added to aide egress in the event of an emergency. A
fire alarm and suppression system will be installed to comply with the
Uniform Federal Accessibility Standards and the Americans With
Disabilities Act.

######## Design (\$7,761 thousand) was appropriated in fiscal year 2002. This request is for additional design (\$2,301 thousand), construction (\$126,080 thousand), and management and inspection (\$6,491 thousand). The estimated total project cost is \$142,633 thousand.

## Eisenhower Executive Office Building.....................................\$65,757,000

The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes to modernize the
17^th^ Street portion of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building (EEOB)
located at Pennsylvania Avenue and 17^th^ Street, Washington, DC. GSA
will renovate 191,000 gross square feet of space to house the Executive
Office of the President (EOP). The primary mission of this proposed
project is to enhance the level of protection of the EEOB occupants
against potential explosive or ballistic threats, and to mitigate unsafe
and unreliable conditions associated with certain building systems.

The EEOB was completed in 1888 and is on the National Register of
Historic Places. Functioning as the principal support facility within
the White House complex, this building contains 691,783 gross square
feet along with 46 outside parking spaces. The building currently houses
approximately 1,494 employees of the Executive Office of the President,
Office of the Vice President, Department of the Treasury, Department of
Defense, and other agencies supporting the White House.

The major emphasis of this proposed project is to secure the 17th Street
portion of the EEOB, currently unoccupied, against potential explosive
threats. The mitigation measures toward security enhancements include
replacement of existing windows with blast and ballistic resistant
windows where needed, and structural upgrades for hardening of the
mansard roof. Installing the high-security windows will require the
removal of the 17th St. wing\'s window air conditioning units, so a
central air-conditioning system will be installed for this wing. The
mechanical work includes installation of air-handling units in the
offices, associated piping system and new chillers.

The project also includes replacement of electrical distribution system,
switchgear and transformers in this wing. The interior work will be
performed to restore affected areas associated with the demolition of
existing systems and installation of new distribution systems and
equipment. Hazardous material abatement and containment will be
performed where necessary. A utility vault in the North courtyard of the
EEOB will be constructed to house new electrical switchgear,
transformers, and chiller equipment that will service the 17th Street
wing. The new service from the North court vault will be distributed via
the basement and designated spaces on the fifth floor. GSA plans to
utilize existing vertical chases to extend utilities services between
floors.

In fiscal year 2002, the Emergency Response Fund provided \$1,674
thousand for this project. Design (\$7,500 thousand) is pending fiscal
year 2003 appropriation action. This request is for the construction
phase (\$63,531 thousand) and the balance required for management and
inspection (\$2,226 thousand). The estimated total project cost is
\$74,931 thousand.

**Fire and Life Safety (Multiple
Buildings)...................................\$68,188,000**

The General Services Administration proposes to renovate and/or replace
fire and life safety systems in selected buildings in the Washington, DC
area. These buildings are deficient in protecting personnel and property
due to inadequate or non-functioning fire alarm, sprinkler and/or
communications systems.

The project involves two types of life safety improvements. The first is
providing complete automatic sprinkler systems in the following
buildings: Wilbur J. Cohen, Forrestal, DOE Germantown, and Theodore
Roosevelt. These buildings are required to have a complete sprinkler
system in accordance with Nationally recognized building codes and GSA
requirements. Sprinkler protection is the most economical and effective
method to protect building occupants and the property in the event of a
fire.

The second part of the project involves replacing the fire alarm systems
in the following buildings: Wilbur J. Cohen and Forrestal. The
replacement of the fire alarm and sprinkler system in the Forrestal
building requires replacing the existing ceiling structure and lighting.
The existing ceiling is a snap-in metal pan ceiling system, with
lighting fixtures integrated into the system. Installing a fire alarm
system would be very difficult with this type of system, therefore, a
new ceiling and lighting structure will take place to accommodate the
installation of the new alarm system. The fire alarm systems in these
buildings do not meet model building codes or GSA requirements. They
cannot be upgraded, as they are antiquated and no longer being supported
by their manufacturers. Also they do not have an emergency communication
component in the system. The new fire alarm systems will have voice
communication so that agencies can use this system for other types of
emergencies.

This request is for design (\$6,109 thousand), construction (\$56,930
thousand) and management and inspection (\$5,149 thousand). The
estimated total project cost is \$68,188 thousand.

**Main Interior
Building............................................................\$15,603,000**

## 

The General Services Administration proposes to modernize the Department
of the Interior's (DOI) main headquarters building located at 1849 C
Street, NW, Washington, DC. The Main Interior Building, constructed in
1936 and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is a
seven-story, steel framed, fireproof structure constructed of granite
and limestone. The building consists of a central spine with six
transverse sections spaced evenly along either side of the spine. A
windowless mechanical floor is located between the fifth and sixth
floors. The building currently houses nine out of the eleven DOI
bureaus, over 2,500 employees.

This project proposes a six-phase modernization in the Main Interior
Building. The electrical, HVAC and plumbing systems will be replaced. A
new sprinkler system will be installed and the fire alarm system
upgraded to be compatible with the new sprinkler system. Additional
stairways will be constructed to provide adequate egress in the event of
an emergency. The restroom fixtures and finishes will be improved. The
restrooms will be made handicapped accessible.

A new security system will be installed to focus on perimeter intrusion
detection, entry access control and security-sensitive interior spaces.
Exterior work such as pointing, cleaning and window improvements will be
conducted, using historic preservation procedures. Blast resistant
windows will be installed on the office side of the existing windows.
The building's historically significant spaces and finishes will be
restored and preserved, consistent with GSA and Historic Preservation
policies and procedures.

# DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA -- continued

**Main Interior Building - continued**

# The proposed modernization will improve building systems to conform to current health and safety standards, provide quality workspace, restore interior finishes and surfaces, waterproof the perimeter foundation and renovate historical features. Asbestos containing material and lead-based paint will be abated where disturbed. Historically significant features will be preserved and restored. The project also has the goal of obtaining a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design designation. 

Design (\$5,764 thousand) was funded in fiscal year 1994. Phase 1
(\$29,214 thousand) was funded in fiscal year 2000 (includes \$2,216
thousand for design).

Phase 2 (\$22,739 thousand) was funded in fiscal year 2002 (includes
\$1,200 thousand for management and inspection). The project has been
rescoped and shortfalls exist in Phase 1 and Phase 2. This request is
for partial design (\$2,792 thousand) and the balance of Phase 2
construction (\$11,786 thousand) and management and inspection (\$1,025
thousand). The balance of funding for construction (\$129,942 thousand)
and management and inspection (\$17,003 thousand) will be requested in
future fiscal years. The total estimated project cost is \$220,265
thousand.

##### GEORGIA

**Atlanta - Richard B. Russell Federal
Building...........................\$32,173,000**

The General Services Administration proposes alterations to the Richard
B. Russell Building in Atlanta, GA that will provide for space
alterations for the Magistrate Court and the U.S. Marshals Service. The
building was constructed in 1979 to house office tenants in the downtown
Atlanta market. The building contains 1,282,033 gross square feet and is
27 stories tall. Thirty outside and 387 inside parking spaces are
provided. The building population is currently 1,578 federal employees,
but the number of tenants will increase as vacant space is occupied.

This project includes modernizing the outdated building systems. The
fire alarm system is outdated and needs to be replaced to bring it up to
code. Plaza leaks need to be repaired. Asbestos abatement is required to
prevent any possible health hazard. Many of the major components and
systems are original to the building and have reached the end of their
useful life, including elevator control system, electrical service,
heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, and generator.

#### 

######## Design (\$2,917 thousand) was funded in fiscal year 2002. This request is for construction (\$29,586 thousand) and management and inspection (\$2,587 thousand). The estimated total project cost is \$35,090 thousand.

##### ILLINOIS

##### Chicago -- Everett M. Dirksen Courthouse & John C. Kluczynski Federal Building........................\$24,056,000

The General Services Administration proposes repairs to curtainwall
systems of the 38-year old Everett M. Dirksen Courthouse and the 27-year
old John C. Kluczynski Federal Building, part of the Federal office
complex in Chicago's Central downtown "Loop." This project proposes
repairs to the original curtainwall systems, replacement of deteriorated
glass-to-metal and metal-to-metal building joint seals, installation of
a proper weep system to drain water from the curtainwall system, and
modifications to the glass lights to improve blast resistance and
improve thermal efficiency.

Replacing the monolithic glass on floors one through seven of these
high-rise government office buildings will improve blast resistance to
the curtainwall and provide greater security to the Federal community.
The safety of approximately 6,000 Federal employees, visitors and
pedestrians are at risk from falling glass associated with the failing
curtainwall systems. The buildings' original steel and glass curtainwall
systems are in need of repair. The

glass to metal sealant joints on the exterior and interior have
deteriorated, causing air and water infiltration. Exterior expansion
joints are also in need of repair.

This request (\$1,614 thousand) is for design, construction (\$20,980
thousand), and management and inspection (\$1,462 thousand). The
estimated total project cost is \$24,056 thousand.

##### MASSACHUSETTS

##### Boston - John W. McCormack Post Office and U.S. Courthouse..............................................\$73,037,000

#### The General Services Administration proposes to modernize the John W. McCormack Post Office and Courthouse (PO-CT) located at Five Post Office Square in Boston, MA. The John W. McCormack PO-CT is a 22-story structure with steel frame construction and granite and masonry facing. It was constructed in 1932 and is currently eligible for inclusion on the National Register. This building is located in the premiere location in all of Boston, the heart of the "Financial District" and currently houses over 900 Federal and State employees. This project will provide extensive space alterations to accommodate a change in occupancy and to modernize deteriorated office space. The project will remove asbestos insulation throughout the building, bring building egress conditions to satisfy current code requirements, provide for space alterations for the entire building that will modernize deteriorated office space, perform exterior and minor seismic work, upgrade the heating, ventilation and air conditioning and fire alarm system, and improve outdated and expensive-to-operate electrical systems. Other major components of the project will include replacement of all single-pane windows with energy efficient units, and installation of exterior envelope insulation, which will dramatically reduce heating and air conditioning utility costs. The building will also be upgraded to meet current handicapped accessibility requirements. 

Design (\$5,338 thousand) was funded in fiscal year 2002. This request
is for construction (\$67,107 thousand) and management and inspection
(\$5,930 thousand). The estimated total project cost is \$78,375

# NEW YORK - continued

Brooklyn -- Emanuel Celler Courthouse - continued

The primary project drivers are the age and deteriorated condition of
building infrastructure, the presence of spray-on asbestos fireproofing,
and major fire, life safety and handicapped accessibility deficiencies.
Modernization of the building's elevators will reduce energy and
maintenance costs, as well as bring them into compliance with
accessibility codes. Also, handicapped accessibility features throughout
the building do not meet the Americans With Disabilities Act standards
and will be upgraded. The fire alarm system, which does not comply with
current standards, will be replaced. The building, which is used by the
public, is currently without a sprinkler system. Also, seismic and
progressive collapse upgrades will reduce the risk to the building and
its occupants in the event of an explosion or seismic occurrence.

Design (\$3,791 thousand) was appropriated in fiscal year 2002. This
request is for construction (\$61,046 thousand) and management and
inspection (\$4,465 thousand). The estimated total project cost is
\$69,302 thousand.

##### NORTH DAKOTA

## Fargo - Federal Building-Post Office.....................................................................................\$5,801,000

## The General Services Administration proposes the modernization of the Federal Building -- Post Office in Fargo, ND. The proposed project includes the upgrading of the electrical system, replacement of the main electrical service and switchboard, installation of an emergency power generator, installation of a fire sprinkler system on three floors, repairing of two passenger elevators, replacement of the freight elevator, replacement of windows with new shatter-resisted ones, modifying of the public restrooms and stairwells per Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA), and replacement of the ceiling tiles and carpet in public corridors. The project also includes the improvement of post office loading docks; re-grading and re-paving of the parking lots, sidewalks, and loading areas; enhancement of security services system with new front doors, improved exterior lighting, and a new security screening station area; repairing of exterior pre-cast concrete panel cracks; and abating of asbestos-containing materials.

Asbestos and lead paint pose a serious health risk to construction
workers. Building accessibility is not compliant with ADA standards.
Fire sprinkler system is not compliant with current life safety codes.
Emergency power generator is too inadequate to power emergency systems
for critical incidents and to meet current fire safety codes. Electrical
system is deteriorated and outdated and cannot meet current service
requirements. Windows are unable to resist fragmenting from blast forces
per blast protection standards. Elevators are deteriorated and
unreliable and need repair and/or replacing to meet present building
service demands. Also, security screening area is too functionally
deficient to meet security screening demands, and exterior security
lighting is too inadequate to meet standard level surveillance
requirements.

##### Design (\$336 thousand) was appropriated in fiscal year 2002. This request is for additional design (\$184 thousand), construction (\$5,201 thousand), and management and inspection (\$416 thousand). The estimated total project cost is \$6,137 thousand.

## 

## Auburn -- Building 7, Auburn Federal Building....................................................................\$18,315,00

The General Services Administration proposes to convert approximately
84,000 usable square feet (usf) of warehouse space in Building 7 in the
Auburn Federal Building into office space and to renovate approximately
42,000 usf of existing office space to meet the projected needs of the
Social Security Administration's (SSA) TeleService Center. This approach
will best meet SSA's projected increase in workload and need to replace
older, out-dated ergonomic furniture with new larger systems furniture
as mandated by a joint management/union agreement. Expansion of SSA
space is critical.

The conversion will involve fire and life-safety upgrades, interior
space upgrades, mechanical and electrical, seismic structural and
bracing, building exterior improvements including a new enclosed walkway
to facilitate egress, parking improvements, and American Disabilities
Act Compliance work as needed to meet current code.

Design (\$1,134 thousand) is pending fiscal year 2003 appropriation
action. This request is for construction (\$16,943 thousand) and
management and inspection (\$1,372 thousand). The estimated total
project cost is \$19,449 thousand.

**Seattle -- Henry M. Jackson Federal Building
..........................................\...........................\$6,868,000**

The General Services Administration requests additional funding for the
modernization of the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building at 915 2nd Avenue
in Seattle, WA. The Henry M. Jackson Federal Building (JFB) is located
within Seattle\'s downtown central business district at 915 2nd Avenue.
The JFB, built in 1974, provides 822,855 gross square feet for various
agencies within its 38 floors and houses approximately 2,606 employees.
The building also provides 46 indoor parking spaces.

### The JFB modernization in its current form and scope of work was originally configured for fiscal year 2000 design funding. But this project did not receive funding for the construction until fiscal year 2003. In the interim, seismic events, new United States Geological Survey (USGS) maps for seismic activity and the new Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) 356 codes for seismic rehabilitation in existing buildings had rendered the structural seismic upgrade portion of the current project to be inadequate in meeting the new seismic standards. FEMA came out with new 351 and 356 codes for the evaluation and seismic rehabilitation of existing facilities in November 2000 based on seismicity standards from revised USGS seismic hazard maps and recent seismic events.

As a result of the February 2001 Seattle 6.8 magnitude earthquake,
tenant agency awareness and concerns were raised about the JFB\'s
ability to withstand future major seismic events. A study commissioned
by the local GSA regional office afterwards and just completed in
February 2002 concluded that the current project\'s proposed seismic
work would not meet the new FEMA 356 codes.

Design was funded in fiscal years 2000 (\$1,728 thousand). Design (\$55
thousand), construction (\$24,750 thousand) and management and
inspection (\$2,027 thousand) are pending fiscal year 2003 appropriation
action. This request is for additional design (\$646 thousand),
additional construction (\$5,723 thousand) and additional management and
inspection (\$499 thousand). The estimated total project cost is
\$35,428 thousand.

##### Chlorofluorocarbons Program\.......\...\...\...\...\...\...\......\...................................................................\$5,000,000

This design/build program request will provide for projects during
fiscal year 2004. This multi-year program is designed to replace or
retrofit existing air-conditioning equipment, which presently use
chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) refrigerants. These CFCs, when vented or lost
in the atmosphere, reduce the protective stratospheric ozone layer.

Scientific findings indicate that CFC emissions are depleting the
stratospheric ozone layer, which leads to increased and harmful
quantities of ultraviolet radiation reaching the Earth's surface. The
Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990

(CAAA), (Public Law 101-549) established a phase-out schedule and yearly
reduction percentages for ozone depleting chemicals.

The amendment promotes recycling, bans the deliberate venting or
releasing of refrigerants during maintenance, service, repair or
disposal, restricts emission of refrigerants, and establishes strict
control over their use. In February 1992, the phase-out of the more
adverse ozone-depleting refrigerants was accelerated from the year 2000,
which was established by the CAAA, to the end of 1995**.**

2004. The projects to be funded will have savings-to-investment ratios
greater than one, and will provide reasonable payback periods that
average five years.

The Federal Energy Management Improvement Act (Public Law 100-615)
requires Federal agencies to reduce energy consumption by 10 percent by
the end of fiscal year 1995. Further, the Energy Policy Act of 1992
requires that all federal agencies reduce energy consumption by 20
percent by the year 2000. In addition, Executive Order 13123 requires
federal agencies to take actions to reduce energy consumption by 30
percent by the year 2005 and by 35 percent by fiscal year 2010. GSA met
both the 10 percent goal in 1995 and the 20

percent goal in 2000. GSA is now pursuing actions towards the fiscal

Executive Order 12977, establishes the need to increase the security
measures in Federal facilities with high-volume public contact and
high-risk agencies. On June 28, 1995, the DOJ issued security
enhancement recommendations in a report entitled "Vulnerability
Assessment of Federal Facilities" in which the President directed all
executive

**Glass Fragmentation Retention**

departments and agencies to implement the recommendations. The report
recommended that GSA provide as minimum standard glass fragment
retention for windows in Level IV Federal buildings. Level IV buildings
are facilities that have over 450 employees. In addition, the facility
likely has more than 150,000 square feet, high-volume public contact,
and contains high-risk law enforcement and intelligence agencies.

The application of a polymer film to windows will protect employees and
visitors from flying glass fragments and reduce the possibility of
damage due to flying glass fragments in the event of an explosion. Some
buildings, however, may require alternative systems such as laminated
glass, polycarbonate sheeting, blast curtains or fine metal mesh
screens.

**OTHER ACTIVITIES**

**BASIC REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS PROJECTS UNDER
\$2,290,000......................................\$365,000,000**

Funds in the amount of \$365,000 thousand are requested for all
nonrecurring repairs and alterations projects where obligations at a
single location within a fiscal year are above \$10 thousand but are
under the prospectus threshold of \$2,290 thousand. Projects included in
this category are generally short-term in nature and funds can normally
be obligated within a one-year period. This category also includes
projects that are recurring in nature, such as cyclic painting and the
minor repair of defective building systems (e.g. mechanical, plumbing,
electrical, fire safety, and elevator system components), and all
repairs and alterations projects in leased facilities, regardless of
size.

After initial build-out, any post-Government occupancy alterations in
leased space require a prospectus when the estimated cost of the project
exceeds the prospectus threshold of \$1,145 thousand for alterations in
leased space.

The basic (non-line item) repairs and alterations program is the source
of funds to ensure the operational continuity of the 1,600 plus
buildings owned by the General Services Administration. These buildings
provide over 200 million gross square feet of space to support tenant
agency mission requirements. The building inventory averages over 50
years of age and requires constant attention and significant funding to
repair systems, improve health and safety features, alter space, and
accomplish special emphasis programs. Without adequate reinvestment in
the building inventory, its condition will deteriorate and service
delivery to customers will degrade. In addition, the taxpayers'
investment in these properties will not be adequately protected
resulting in more costly corrective actions in the future. The line-item
repairs and alterations program only addresses approximately 30
buildings per year, thus the basic program is extremely important in
keeping the rest of the inventory functioning pending a modernization
project on a 20-25 year cycle.

The amount provided for the basic program may also be used to pay claims
against the Government arising from any projects under the heading
"Repairs and Alterations."

######## Tucson -- James A. Walsh Federal Building-Courthouse.............\$1,588,000

The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes to renovate the
historic James A. Walsh Federal Building-Courthouse (FB-CT), located at
55 East Broadway, Tucson, AZ. The proposed improvements are intended to
accommodate the Courts' 10-year space requirements. The James A. Walsh
FB-CT, erected in 1929, is located at the northwest corner of the
intersection of Scott Street and Broadway, in the extreme eastern sector
of the Central Business District (CBD) of Tucson, AZ. The structure
contains a total of 73,521 gross square feet (including basement),
68,688 rentable square feet, and 40,567 usable square feet.

The Evo A. DeConcini Courthouse in Tucson was originally planned to
house the entire Court family. However, the rapid growth of the District
Court precipitated the need to house the Bankruptcy Court elsewhere, and
the Walsh FB-CT was considered to offer the best housing alternative.
During the year 2000, the District Courts moved into the new DeConcini
Courthouse. The U.S. Bankruptcy Court is currently located in leased
space, which is insufficient for their current needs and allows no space
for future growth. The Walsh FB-CT, on the other hand, will provide
adequate space for anticipated future growth. The U.S. Trustees and U.S.
Marshals Service will also be co-located with the Bankruptcy Court. In
order to accomplish this move, extensive renovation of the Walsh
Courthouse is necessary. The major work items will include mechanical
and electrical utility services, restoration of the historic fabric of
the building (hallways, skylight, etc.), security measures, asbestos and
lead paint removal or encapsulation, and additional Uniform Federal
Accessibility Standards (UFAS).

This request (\$1,588 thousand) is for design. The balance of funding
for construction (\$13,744 thousand), and management and inspection
(\$1,430 thousand) will be requested in a future fiscal year. The
estimated total project cost is \$16,762 thousand.

######## Herbert C. Hoover Building..............................................................................................\...\$12,800,000

The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes to modernize
1,700,594 rentable square feet of space in the Herbert Hoover Building
to house the Department of Commerce, National Park Service - White House
Visitor Center and the National Aquarium. Completed in 1932, this
building consists of 1,845,142 gross square feet, 13 inside parking
spaces, and 201 surface parking spaces. The building is on the National
Register of Historic Places and currently houses 4,007 employees.

The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes window, structural,
mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades, as well as limited tenant
alterations to this 69-year old, seven story historic building. This
six-phased modernization will allow the Department of Commerce (DOC) to
consolidate operations from leased space and utilize the building much
more efficiently. Changes proposed include an infill tower in courtyard
one to provide swing space for each phase of the modernization, as well
as a long-term housing solution for DOC elements currently located in
leased space.

Partial design (\$4,100 thousand) funding is pending fiscal year 2003
appropriation action. This request is for the balance of design
(\$12,800 thousand). The balance of funding for construction (\$262,000
thousand) and management and inspection (\$7,085 thousand) will be
requested in future fiscal years. The estimated total project cost is
\$285,985 thousand.

Street, SW, Washington, DC, was built in 1942 and is on the National
Register of Historic Places. It houses approximately 1,545 employees of
the Department of Education, Department of Health and Human Services,
the International Broadcasting Board of Governors and the Department of
State.

This project will complete a major replacement of building systems, of
which most are original. GSA proposes to replace the air handlers and
the ventilation system. The project will also demolish ceilings to
replace lighting, complete a sprinkler system, and upgrade fire alarms.
In addition, GSA proposes to improve the electrical system as follows; a
new emergency generator, feeders, electrical panel boards, distribution
system and motor controls to meet increased demand for electricity and
eliminate a potential safety hazard. The project will modify the lobbies
and security system. GSA will also replace the original plumbing and
piping to ensure safe lead content levels and refinish the restrooms.
During the course of construction, GSA will abate lead paint and
asbestos when encountered. The project includes the following exterior
work; repair windows, flash parapet walls, add exterior lighting, add a
handicapped ramp and conserve exterior stone sculpture.

Design (\$7,776 thousand) was funded in fiscal years 2000 and 2002. This
request is for the balance of design (\$944 thousand) for the blast
resistance, glass fragment retention protection and seismic project that
was not included in our initial design requests. The balance of funding
for construction (\$94,448 thousand) and management and inspection
(\$6,835 thousand) will be requested in a future fiscal year. The
estimated total project cost is \$110,003 thousand.

**Des Moines -- Federal Building, 210 Walnut
Street...............................................................\...\$3,588,000**

The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes interior alterations
at the Federal Building, 210 Walnut, Des Moines, IA. The Federal
Building was constructed in 1967 on a site in the downtown central
business district. The building is a reinforced concrete frame structure
consisting of ten floors above grade and one basement level. The
structure provides a gross area of 390,007 square feet and a usable area
of 263,534 square feet. The building has been well maintained over the
years, but many of the major systems are original and in need of
upgrading/replacement.

######### 

GSA proposes alterations to upgrade the interior of the space at 210
Walnut, and either update or replace outdated inferior systems, improve
accessibility, improve air quality, and renovate tenant space. The
building has become an integral part of the City's skywalk system as a
full partner in the ongoing revitalization process of the central
business district. Improving the quality of tenant space will have a
positive effect on the approximately 200 daily visitors to the building,
and will reduce vacant space and increase revenue. The project will
improve building response to health and safety, accessibility, comfort,
functionality, flexibility, and aesthetics.

This request (\$3,588 thousand) is for design. The balance of funding
for construction (\$42,000 thousand) and management and inspection
(\$3,445 thousand) will be requested in a future fiscal year. The
estimated total project cost is \$49,033 thousand.

GSA proposes to replace vital building systems that have exceeded their
life expectancy and are critical to the safe and efficient operation of
the building. Modifications to the electrical system will include
refurbishment of the emergency switchboard, main switchgear, and two
motor control centers (MCC's) and replacement of existing transformers.

Upgrades to the mechanical components of the HVAC system include
modification of the facility's chilled water piping, replacement of the
chiller refrigerant, replacement of all 56 air handling units (AHU's),
and, on five floors of the office building, replacement of the existing
multi-zone system with a variable air volume (VAV) system. While many of
the elevators' component parts will be refurbished, such as the hoist
machines, guide rails, cab shells, and hoist way frames, some critical
parts are to be replaced, including the controls, cab interiors, door
panels and all existing interlocks, closers, hangers, door rollers and
door tracks. The existing fire alarm system will be replaced with a new
Class A intelligent, analog addressable fire alarm system. Handicapped
accessibility upgrades will include modifications to entrance doors,
telephones, drinking fountains, door hardware, signage, and public
toilet rooms.

This request (\$2,161 thousand) is for design. The balance of funding
for construction (\$20,525 thousand) and management and inspection
(\$2,032 thousand) will be requested in a future fiscal year. The
estimated total project cost is \$24,718 thousand.

GSA proposes alterations to the FB, which include critical system
improvements and space alterations necessary to reoccupy floors 10-14.
Alterations also include bringing these floors into compliance with the
many requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act and seismic
safety. Asbestos and lead contaminant abatement is also planned on these
floors. Current tenants and tenants from leased locations will reoccupy
these floors when construction is completed in order to provide
continued swing space for further building renovation.

The design (\$1,823 thousand) of phase 1 was funded in fiscal year 1999.
Additional design (\$67 thousand), construction (\$24,010 thousand) and
management and inspection (\$1,805 thousand) of phase I was funded in
fiscal year 2001. This request is for the design of phase II (\$2,773
thousand). Design of phases III and IV (\$8,108 thousand) will be
requested in future fiscal years. Construction of phase II, III and IV

estimated total project cost is \$199,583 thousand.

**St. Louis - Federal Center-Building
102....................................\$1,193,000**

The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes to modernize and
recapture vacant space in Building 102 at the Federal Center (FC), 4300
Goodfellow, St. Louis, MO. Building 102 is part of a 65 acre, 21
building FC complex constructed in 1942 as the St. Louis Ordnance Plant.
The FC includes over 1.2 million usable square feet of office, storage
and special space. Following transfer of the complex to GSA from the
Army in 1967, the facilities were modernized to upgrade the complex from
a manufacturing plant to modern office park environment.

As a result of the Base Realignment and Closure Act recommendation to
decommission and relocate the Army Training Command (ATCOM),
approximately 233,206 square feet of vacant space in Building 102
remains available for backfill. The project proposes interior
modernization to convert 192,213 usable square feet of vacant space into
warehouse space that meets National Archives and Records Administration
(NARA) Facility Standards for Records Storage Facilities for the United
States Army. This project is essential to reduce vacant space in St.
Louis by consolidating part of the United States Army Record Storage
Facilities, which are located in various areas of the country. The
Army's current Records Storage Facilities must meet NARA Facility
Standards for Records Storage Facilities by 2008; currently none of
these facilities meet this standard.

######### 

This request (\$1,193 thousand) is for design. The balance of funding
for construction (\$11,000 thousand) and management and inspection
(\$1,024 thousand) will be requested in a future fiscal year. The
estimated total project cost is \$13,217 thousand.

The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes plaza repair and fire
alarm and heating, ventilation and air conditioning replacement at the
37-year old Anthony J. Celebrezze Federal Building, located at 1240 East
9th Street, Cleveland, OH. The Anthony J. Celebrezze Federal Building
was built in 1966 and houses over 5,500 federal employees. The building
is 1,552,494 gross square feet including 335 inside parking spaces, and

be constructed. Security enhancements such as bollards will be added to
prevent vehicle access to the plaza area and blast protection to the
windows to protect occupants. To enhance life-safety and meet code
requirements, a new stairwell connecting the lower and main lobbies will
be added.

This request (\$3,173 thousand) is for design. The balance of funding

### San Antonio -- U.S. Post Office - Courthouse..............................\$2,909,000

The General Services Administration (GSA) proposes to prepare 236,324
rentable square feet of space to house the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts, the
U.S. Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC) Training Center, and
other agencies, in the PO-CT, 615 E. Houston, San Antonio, TX. Also,
some building modernization will be completed to support a significantly
expanded occupancy of the U.S. Bankruptcy Courts and AOC. Built in 1937,
the PO-CT consists of 308,270 gross square feet with 28 inside parking
spaces. It is located in the central business district on Alamo Square.
It houses the downtown substation of the Post Office and is important to
the public because of its location across the street from the Alamo, and
for a mural, itself historic, which is located in the lobby. The
building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and
currently houses 588 employees.

This modernization will allow the U.S. Bankruptcy Court to expand within
the building, along with several other agencies. The AOC will relocate
its training center from another building being demolished to make room
for a new courthouse for the U.S. District Courts in San Antonio.
Changes proposed include construction of a new bankruptcy courtroom,
several training rooms for the AOC, and consolidation and expansion of
other existing tenants. In addition, mechanical upgrades, restroom
improvements, and fire safety improvements are included to make the
building both more functional and modern for long-term housing of the
proposed tenants.

This request (\$2,909 thousand) is for design. The balance of funding
for construction (\$28,744 thousand) and management and inspection
(\$3,494 thousand) will be requested in a future fiscal year. The

Courthouse (CT). The William K. Nakamura CT is located within Seattle\'s
downtown central business district at 1010 5th Avenue. The Nakamura CT
was built in 1939 and is listed on the National Register of Historic
Places. It provides 178,386 gross square feet for the U.S. Courts and
various agencies within its ten floors plus basement and houses
approximately 186 employees. The building currently provides only one
indoor parking space.

The project proposes to renovate, modernize and backfill the historic
Nakamura CT to accommodate the consolidation, expansion, and space
requirements of the U.S. Court of Appeals and future tenant agencies. It
will also upgrade several major building systems to include complete
renovation and modernization to meet current codes. Other items
requiring repair, replacement, and upgrades are elevator controls, roof,
telecom/data/technology, hazardous materials abatement, and exterior
closure repair. This project also includes interior space modifications
as needed to the existing courthouse to accommodate the U.S. Court of
Appeals and other compatible tenants.

The scope of the project has been increased to include the utilization
of the available underground space beneath the existing courthouse lawn
and plaza on the main entrance side of the building by adding 26 inside
parking spaces. The structure of the garage will be reinforced concrete.
All inside parking spaces will be on the same level with an access/exit
ramp and an elevator. Access will be via a card-keyed roll up garage
door with a security camera to monitor the entry. The secured inside
parking is required to meet security needs per the U.S. Courts Design
Guide.

Design (\$2,455 thousand) funding is pending fiscal year 2003
appropriation action. This request is for additional design (\$395
thousand). The balance of funding for construction (\$37,000 thousand)
and management and inspection (\$2,500 thousand) will be requested in a
future fiscal year. The estimated total project cost is \$42,350
thousand.
