Section I – Budget Request 

A – Mission Statement 

Improve infrastructure, modernize business processes, and increase efficiency through capital 

investments that support the missions of all Treasury bureaus and programs. 

B – Summary of the Request 

The Department-wide Systems and Capital Investments Program (DSCIP) account provides a 

mechanism for Treasury to fund capital investments that have complex contracts with projects 

that span several fiscal years. Treasury owns and operates two historic office buildings in 

downtown Washington, D.C. – the Main Treasury Building and the Freedman’s Bank Building 

(FBB). In FY 2016, Treasury conducted an assessment of both buildings and found a range of 

needs that include immediate safety/health risks, capital renewal to address systematic and 

mechanical failure, and building modernization. It is estimated that it will cost $95.5 million to 

address all of the issues identified in the report. The Department plans to work through these 

accumulated needs over time. The FY 2019 request of $4.0 million addresses Phase II of the 

Main Treasury roof replacement and the exterior façade repair and restoration of the FBB. This 

investment supports the Treasury goal to Achieve Operational Excellence.

Non-Recurring Costs ................................................................................ -$2,980,000 / +0 FTE 

Non-Recur -$2,980,000 / +0 FTE 

In the FY 2018 Annualized Continuing Resolution, $2,980,000 is provided for Phase I of the 

Main Treasury building roof replacement, new electrical service to the FBB, and fire safety for 

FBB stairwells.

Program Increases ..................................................................................... +$4,000,000 / +0 FTE

Phase II Main Treasury Roof Replacement +$2,000,000 / +0 FTE 

The Main Treasury Building roof has reached its normal life expectancy and routine 

maintenance can no longer prevent leaks. This request continues the roof replacement project 

proposed with the FY 2018 request.

Freedman’s Bank Building Exterior Repair and Restoration +$2,000,000 / +0 FTE 

The exterior façade has never undergone a comprehensive restoration and currently reflects 

nearly 100 years of wear and pollutants. Similar to the roofing system, the exterior façade is 

experiencing leaks at numerous locations which compromise the interior finishes and the 

occupant health and safety. Perimeter walls at the basement and sub-basement levels have been 

leaking for years as a result of systematic building failures. As with the Treasury Building, FBB 

will require full exterior scaffolding in order to access the areas requiring work. The masonry 

restoration will provide a watertight envelope and stabilize all the historic fabric. The scope will 

address repair, cleaning, and repointing of all masonry surfaces.

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 as well as fund the continual repair and restoration of the Main Treasury Building the 

FBB. 

DSCIP projects support the following strategic objective for Strategic Goal 5, to achieve 

operational excellence:

DSCIP enables the Department to make investments in capital improvements that support the 

missions of all Treasury bureaus and programs. 

Treasury Building - Repairs and Renovations

The Main Treasury Building and the FBB are owned by the Department and are Departmental 

Offices’ capital investments. The Main Treasury Building is the oldest departmental building and 

the third oldest federally occupied building in Washington, preceded only by the Capitol and the 

White House. The age and historical significance of the buildings, considered by some to be 

national treasures, create special conditions that do not exist in many other Federal office 

facilities. Continual upkeep, with close attention to historic preservation, is necessary in order to 

continue occupying these buildings. The FY 2018 request focuses on life safety, improved 

electrical service, and roof replacement. The FY 2019 request continues to focus on roof 

replacement and begins FFB exterior repair and renovation. 

With the publication of the Treasury Strategic Plan for FY 2018-2022, Treasury will work in FY 

2018 to baseline its performance against the new strategic objectives. This could result in 

additional changes to performance measures in the FY 2020 budget.
