Section I – Budget Request 

A – Mission Statement 

Improve infrastructure, modernize business processes, and increase efficiency through 

technology and capital investments that support the missions of Treasury bureaus and programs. 

B – Summary of the Request 

An icon of American architecture, the Main Treasury building is the third oldest in use Federal 

building in Washington, after the Capitol and White House. Unlike the Capitol or the White 

House, the Main Treasury Building is not under the jurisdiction of the Architect of the Capitol or 

General Services Administration (GSA), respectively, but rather is the direct responsibility of the 

Treasury Department. The bulk of funding for its care through capital investments is provided 

through the Department-wide Systems and Capital Investments Program (DSCIP) account. 

The Main Treasury building was built with Congressional appropriations from 1836 to 1869. 

From 1909 to 1910, the building received a special appropriation to modernize its infrastructure, 

which helped to bring the building into the 20th century. A major fire in 1996 resulted in a series 

of Congressional appropriations that ushered the Treasury building into the 21st century. Now, 25 

years later, the building faces a multitude of issues that need to be addressed, some of which 

pose life safety concerns, including issues related to Treasury and the Freedman’s Bank 

Buildings’ external and internal infrastructure and security posture. 

The President’s FY 2024 budget request reflects a limited subset of those previously identified 

needs, which the Department plans to continue to work to address over time. The FY 2024 

request builds on prior year efforts (which included requests in FY 2021, FY 2022, and FY 2023) 

to repair the outer envelope of the Main Treasury building and includes funding to address major 

repairs within the interior of the Main Treasury building. This request reflects Treasury’s threestep long-term strategy to continue to maintain and modernize its owned spaces: (1) secure the 

building’s outer envelope; (2) conduct a condition assessment to identify additional needs 

associated with the buildings’ continual aging and deferred maintenance; and (3) based on this 

assessment, conduct a holistic modernization of the building’s systems and infrastructure. 

The FY 2024 request also includes funding for moving and relocation costs for government 

leased space in preparation for the expiration of leases in August 2025. Finally, the FY 2024 

funding request provides approximately $1.6 million reimbursement for agency contributions to 

the GSA in support of the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP).

The Departmental Offices (DO) request $17.2 million in funding for anticipated office moves. 

Prospectus-level leases for two buildings that DO currently occupies expire in August 2025, and 

the DO must take steps in FY 2024 to secure a new leased space. To accomplish this goal, over 

the past 20 months, DO has partnered with GSA and used its Program of Requirements model to 

conduct an in-depth survey with offices to understand their facility needs. The requested $17.2 

million in funding is needed to procure a new lease, construct and equip suitable office space, 

and relocate to the new space before the current leases expire. DO is committed to efficiently 

utilizing office space. The lease consolidation effort will yield a 90,000 rentable square foot 

(RSF) reduction resulting in millions of dollars in cost avoidance over the life of the new lease. 

MT Exterior Repair and Restoration Masonry & Windows +$6,000,000 / +0 FTE 

The budget request continues critical renovations and maintenance of the outer shell of the Main 

Treasury (MT) and Freedman’s Bank Building (FBB) facilities, with the primary goals of 

preventing continued water intrusion and repairing key structural components. Completion of 
DSCIP - 5 

MT exterior work, including work to repair and restore one of the five phases of the façade but 

does not include courtyard windows. Work items include: 

1. Repairing failed masonry joints to protect from moisture penetration, cleaning the stone 

surfaces, and repairing damaged stone (see figure 1 below). 

2. Repairing or replacing window frames suffering varying degrees of damage after years of 

weather exposure (see figure #2 below). 

This will fund phase four of the multiyear effort to maintain the building and to prevent more 

expensive repair work as deterioration continues, to include weather intrusion that is impacting 

interior spaces that require remediation and mold control. Phase four covers the remainder of the 

East/15th St. façade of the MT building. This funding covers exterior repairs, but it is possible the 

repairs will uncover additional unanticipated structural issues that could require additional 

funding requests.

Electric Vehicle Leases and Infrastructure +$5,000,000 / +0 FTE 

Following the lead from Executive Order 14008, “Tackling the Climate Crisis at Home and 

Abroad”, Treasury is committed to supporting the Administration’s goals of combatting the 

impacts of climate change. The Department of the Treasury is accelerating the conversion of its 

vehicle fleet to electric vehicles (EVs) as a part of strategic objective 4.4 (Sustainable Treasury 

Operations). To facilitate this transition, $5.0 million is being requested by Treasury in FY 2024 

in the DSCIP account for leasing of EVs and purchasing associated charging and supply 

equipment. Funding will be used for: 

1. The replacement of traditional internal combustion vehicle leases with zero-emission 

vehicles (i.e., battery electric and plug-in hybrid electric) across the Department; 

2. Electric vehicles will replace traditionally powered leased vehicles; and 

3. Additional charging station infrastructure to support fleet electrification. Some existing 

charging stations will require updates or replacement. 

Electrifying the Treasury fleet will support environmental and energy sustainability and will 

make Treasury more adaptive and resilient to the impacts of climate change. 

FedRAMP Reimbursement +$1,581,205 / +0 FTE

To date, the FedRAMP program has been funded via appropriations directly to the GSA. Section 

753 of Division E of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (P.L. 117-328) authorized the 

transfer of funds to GSA to finance an appropriate share of various information technology 

projects among Government-wide boards and councils. Starting in FY 2024, this program will 

convert into a government-wide reimbursable program. This funding request provides 

$1.581 million for agency contributions to the GSA in support of the Federal Risk and 

Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP). FedRAMP is a government-wide Technology 

Transformation Services program that provides a standardized approach to security assessment, 

authorization, and continuous monitoring for cloud products and services. FedRAMP empowers 

Figure 3: Exterior Repair and

Restoration (MT)
DSCIP - 7 

agencies to use modern cloud technologies, with emphasis on security and protection of federal 

information, and helps accelerate the adoption of secure cloud solutions. The FedRAMP 

Program Management Office resides within GSA and supports agencies and cloud service 

providers through the FedRAMP authorization process and maintains a secure repository of 

FedRAMP authorizations to enable reuse of security packages. 

Architectural and Engineering Design, Inspection, and Consultation +$600,000 / +0 FTE 

These funds will pay for design studies, project planning, cost estimating, schedule, and 

inspections that DO no longer has in-house capabilities to do due to previous funding cuts. This 

will provide project specific technical guidance, building code review and consultation, and 

third-party inspections where necessary. Some work, such as third-party inspections, are required 

to be performed by outside sources. This funding sets the groundwork for step three of 

Treasury’s three-part long-term owned spaces strategy, as it will kickstart engineering work 

needed to begin a holistic approach to system modernization. 

MT Carpet, Plaster and Paint +$500,000 / +0 FTE 

Much of the carpet within MT and FBB is close to 20 years old, while projected life expectancy 

is typically 7-10 years. In many places carpet has become significantly worn, which creates the 

potential for safety hazards and an unprofessional impression of the Treasury Department. These 

funds will be used to purchase carpet stock, allowing for regular lifecycle replacement. Also, 

buildings the size of MT and FBB require constant spot replastering and painting, as well as 

scheduled repainting in their entirety (by sections) over time. 

Likewise, damage from water intrusion and pipe leaks has resulted in damage to plaster and paint 

throughout the MT building. While waterproofing to the exterior of the building is ongoing, it is 

equally important for staff health and safety to remediate water damage and prevent/eliminate 

mold and mildew where identified. 

See figures below of plaster damage caused by deficiencies in the façade pointing and/or flashing.

A – Strategic Alignment 

The DSCIP account provides a mechanism for Treasury to fund capital investments that have 

complex contracts with projects that span several fiscal years. Through the DSCIP account, the 

Treasury has been able to develop a Treasury-wide human resources information technology 

solution while funding the continued repair and restoration of the Main Treasury and 

Freedman’s Bank Building. DSCIP’s work aligns with the following new objectives in 

Treasury’s FY 2022 – FY 2026 Strategic Plan: 

Strategic Goal 4: Combat Climate Change 

 Objective 4.4: Sustainable Treasury Operations. Improve Treasury’s overall environmental 

and energy sustainability and invest in Treasury Bureaus’ adaptation and resiliency efforts to 

address climate change impacts on operations and services. 

Strategic Goal 5: Modernize Treasury Operations 

 Objective 5.4: Customer Experience Practices. Mature and embed strong customer 

experience practices across the Department, establishing Treasury’s reputation for 

consistently positive experiences.

Treasury Owned Buildings - Repairs and Renovations 

Treasury Operations continues to strategically focus on restoring the health of the building 

envelope (shell) and to correct the deteriorating building structure and infrastructure. 

Components of the MT building that have been repaired, replaced, or funded include new roofs 

(2019/2021 account) and repairs to 40 percent of the windows (2015/2017 account). The FBB 

components that have been repaired, replaced, or funded/planned include new roofs (2017/2019 

account), domestic water line (2020/2022 account), and replacement of all windows (2009/2011 

account). Funding and completion of these exterior items represent significant progress towards 

preserving the two buildings, maintaining a safe and healthy workplace, and reducing damage to 

the interior plaster and paint. The contract for the first phase (west façade) of the MT exterior 
DSCIP - 13 

restoration project was awarded late in FY 2021 and completed during FY 2022. Exterior work 

will continue in the spring of 2023 on the south façade which was awarded in FY 2022. 

The FY 2021 contract award of the expanded Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) provided an 

update to and validation of the immediate repair needs of the MT and FBB. Work on the 

expanded FCA began in December 2021 and is now complete. This assessment was conducted to 

identify long-term capital expenses based on the expected useful life of building systems and 

components. The FCA also provides data to and assists in the modernization of Treasury 

facilities to improve energy efficiency and environmental sustainability. Treasury Operations has 

enlisted non-reimbursable staffing resources on developmental details to identify ways to 

improve Treasury’s sustainability and decrease Treasury’s carbon footprint, and the FCA will be 

invaluable in establishing a baseline from which Treasury can identify areas where sustainability 

or energy efficiency can be improved (e.g., legacy mechanical systems, more efficient building 

envelope) consistent with strategic objective 4.4. 

In addition to immediate repairs and long-term needs, the expanded FCA provided feedback on 

the building code as well as compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. In doing so, it 

allows Treasury to provide a safer, more inclusive, and more comfortable environment for 

Treasury staff, which should contribute to the productivity and morale of employees within these 

buildings consistent with strategic objective 5.4. 

Concurrent with repairs to Treasury’s owned portfolio, Treasury has leases expiring in August of 

2025 in downtown Washington DC. The combined total square footage of these leases is 

195,017 RSF. In FY 2022, Treasury undertook a progressive approach to space utilization and 

developed a plan to consolidate leased spaces by 47 percent to an estimated 103,000 RSF. This 

effort aligns Treasury’s long-term future of work plan and the federal footprint reduction plan 

and is consistent with strategic objective 5.2 

The consolidation is expected to improve operational efficiency and allow for future growth 

while providing an efficient work environment that supports each offices’ mission. This funding 

request will support the construction and office moves for the new facility and decommissioning 

of expired leases.
