AOC CAPITOL BUILDING
Key Accomplishments in FY 2014
Initiated Restoration Projects
AOC Capitol Building initiated two high-profile preservation projects, including the multi-year Dome Restoration Project. Phases IIA and IIB were awarded and include constructing scaffolding around the Dome to begin cast iron restoration and lead paint abatement. The jurisdiction also initiated the Exterior Stone & Metal Preservation project to stabilize, repair, clean and preserve the Olmsted Terrace walls masonry.
Implemented Process Improvements
The jurisdiction served as the pilot for the AOC-wide integration of data from the separate service request work order and time and attendance systems. This integration allows AOC to more effectively utilize labor resources. The jurisdiction also expanded the use of the Work Authorization Permits that track work performed by in-house personnel and contractors from other Legislative Branch organizations.
Delivered Superior Project Oversight
Through a strong planning process, the jurisdiction delivered 95 percent of its in-house projects on time and within budget while maintaining a client satisfaction rating of 98 percent. Facilities Operations Specialists provide project construction and renovation oversight to identify areas of concern early and minimize cost and schedule impacts.
What’s Next? FY 2015 Priorities
Continue Dome Restoration
AOC Capitol Building will work to obtain funding for the Dome Restoration’s final phase and then successfully execute it on time and on budget. Restoration of the Rotunda interior includes removing lead based paint, updating systems to current codes and installing new energy-efficient lighting.
Continue Exterior Stone and Metal Preservation
The jurisdiction will award the next phase of the Exterior Stone & Metal Preservation project. Close coordination and oversight is critical to stay on track and complete subsequent project phases prior to October 2016 so that preparations for the 2017 Presidential Inaugural may begin.
AOC CAPITOL GROUNDS
Key Accomplishments in FY 2014
Conducted Cultural Landscape Reports
AOC Capitol Grounds completed a Cultural Landscape Report for the Senate Parks and continued work on the Cultural Landscape Report for Union Square. Both will serve as valuable long-term planning tools for ongoing landscape maintenance and future development.
Delivered Exceptional Major Events Support
The jurisdiction provided exceptional support during major events and maintained service delivery despite a protracted winter storm season. Key events supported included the annual Capitol Christmas tree lighting and the Memorial Day, Independence Day and Labor Day concerts. Events support included managing logistics, overseeing inter-agency coordination, and providing utilities support.
Completed Olmsted Fountain Laser Cleaning
The jurisdiction completed a maintenance and restoration project for the historic bronze Olmsted Fountains using a laser cleaning process—the first time this process had been used on the Capitol grounds. Additionally, six historic light fixtures were treated along with a variety of smaller bronze elements across Capitol Hill.
What’s Next? FY 2015 Priorities
Mitigate Barriers to Access
The jurisdiction will mitigate as many barriers to access as possible in accordance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Accessibility Standards. The jurisdiction will also plan for subsequent ADA remediation work to clear all remaining findings from the 111th and 112th Congressional reports.
Begin Union Square Improvements
The jurisdiction will address improvements to Union Square, including turf renovations, better management of visitor use patterns and improved woody plant maintenance and tree labeling. The jurisdiction will start a two-year conservation project for the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial that includes cleaning and treatment of the bronze statuary and fabrication of missing parts.
