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 the 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 

GSA respectfully, but rather is the direct responsibility of the Treasury Department. The bulk of 

funding for its care through capital investments is provided through DSCIP. 

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, 

26 years later, the building faces a magnitude 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. 

Treasury’s FY 2023 request reflects a limited subset of those previously identified needs, which 

the Department plans to continue to work to address over time. The FY 2023 request builds on 

prior year efforts (which included requests in FY 2021 and 2022) to repair the outer envelope of 

the Main Treasury building, and also includes funding to address major repairs within the 

interior of the Main Treasury building. This request reflects Treasury’s three-step 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 last facility condition 

assessment Treasury conducted was in 2016 which found a range of needs to be addressed. In 

2021 Treasury began a new assessment in an effort to update the list of outstanding projects to be 

addressed. 

Additionally, the request includes $5 million for the leasing of zero-emission vehicles and the 

purchase of associated charging infrastructure in support of the Administration’s goal of 

achieving 100 percent zero-emission vehicle acquisitions by 2035 for the Federal vehicle fleet 

by 2035.

Elevators- rebuild/overhaul- design, $500,000, +0 FTE 

Funding is requested for the Main Treasury elevators that were last renovated approximately 20 

years ago and are approaching the end of their useful life. Recently these elevators have 

experienced a higher level of failure issues including trapped building occupants. Failing 

elevators pose a significant danger to Main Treasury employees and visitors and hold Treasury 

back from being compliant with life safety codes. This request will also fund an assessment of 

the elevators and the renovation planning and design. 

Basement wall waterproofing - study/design – repair, $1,618,000, +0 FTE

Leaks in the basement level of the Freedman’s Bank Building have impacted the use of secure 

office spaces due to safety and health concerns. To address the water intrusion issues and prevent 

increased future damage, an excavation along the south side of the building will need to be 

conducted. Additionally, below-grade area waterproofing, backfill, and restoration of the 
DSCIP - 5 

surrounding area would be required to permanently address the water intrusion issues. Ongoing 

water intrusion will eventually undermine the structure. This request will support the study to 

complete the design as well as partial repairs of the space. 

 

Main Treasury Exterior Repairs +$4,000,000 / +0 FTE 

Treasury’s 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. Work items 

include repairs to masonry and windowsills (see figures 1 and 2 below). 

 

Figure 1: Repairing failed masonry joints to protect from moisture penetration, cleaning the 

stone surfaces, and repairing damaged stone. 

Figure 2: Repairing or replacing window frames suffering varying degrees of damage after 

years of weather exposure. Window work will require scaffolding which is expensive to 

rent/contract. 

Fig 1: Open Joints, Failing Masonry Fig 2: Typical Rotten Windowsill
DSCIP - 6 

This request funds 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 can cause mold, which impacts air quality 

and creates a health and safety risk to staff. Phase four covers the remainder of the 

Hamilton/South entrance and 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 

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). In order to facilitate this transition, $5 million is being requested by Treasury in 

FY 2023 in the Department-wide Systems and Capital Investments Program account for leasing 

of EVs and purchasing associated charging and supply equipment. Funding will be used for the 

replacement of traditional internal combustion vehicle leases with zero-emission vehicles across 

the Department. Where possible, electric vehicles will replace traditionally powered leased 

vehicles as well. Additional charging station infrastructure will be installed 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.

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 and 

the Freedman’s Bank Building. 

DSCIP’s work aligns with the following new objectives in the Treasury FY 2022 – 2026 

Strategic Plan: 

Strategic Goal 4, to Combat Climate Change: 

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

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

climate change impacts on operations and services. 

Strategic Goal 5, to Modernize Treasury Operations: 

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

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

Treasury Owned Buildings - Repairs and Renovations 

Treasury Operations has continued to strategically focus on restoring the health of the building 

envelope (shell), in an effort to correct the deteriorating building structure and infrastructure. 

Components of the Main Treasury building that have been repaired, replaced, or funded include 

new roofs (FY 2019/2021) and repairs to 40 percent of the windows (FY 2015/2017). The 

Freedman’s Bank Building components that have been repaired, replaced, or funded/planned 

include new roofs (FY 2017/2019), domestic water line (FY 2020/2022), and replacement of all 

windows 
DSCIP - 9 

(FY 2009/2011). Funding and completion of these exterior items represent significant progress 

towards the preservation of the two buildings, maintaining a safe and healthy workplace, and 

reducing damage to the interior plaster and paint. The contract for the first phase of the Main 

Treasury exterior restoration was awarded late in FY 2021. Completion of the first phase is 

expected (restoration of the west façade) during FY 2022. 

The FY 2021 contract award of the expanded Facility Condition Assessment (FCA) will provide 

an update and validation to the immediate repair needs that will identify long-term capital 

expenses based on the expected useful life of building systems and components. The FCA will 

also allow Treasury to identify ways to modernize Treasury facilities to improve energy 

efficiency and sustainability. Treasury Operations has enlisted non-reimbursable staffing 

resources 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, etc.) consistent with strategic objective 4.4. Work on 

the expanded FCA began in December 2021. 

In addition to immediate repairs and long-term needs, the expanded FCA will provide feedback 

on code and Americans with Disabilities Act compliance. In doing so, it will also allow 

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. After the onset of the pandemic and the loss of activity in 

the Washington, DC Central Business District, Treasury owned spaces experienced a significant 

increase in rodent activity. Shortly after that, a water line leak led to the collapse of an interior 

basement wall in the FBB. In January 2022 a broken water pipe on the fifth floor of MT flooded 

all the floors below it, compromising workstations, walls, ceilings, and carpeting. Situations like 

these make it difficult for Treasury to support its staff within Treasury DO. The FCA will allow 

DO to identify and develop action plans to solve problems like these before they can occur, 

driving better, safer, and more inclusive experiences for Treasury staff. 

SolarWinds Response 

Due to the large scope of the SolarWinds incident remediation, in May 2021 Treasury realigned 

$3.7M from the FY 2021 DSCIP appropriation to address immediate cybersecurity requirements.
