• AOC implemented a Web-based version of its primary work management software to replace an older client-server application. This resulted in cost avoidance of about $110,000 annually, providing a broad range of new, flexible tools and reports, facilitating data sharing and allowing the decommissioning of redundant software.
• AOC implemented a computer power savings initiative that reduced total power consumption of AOC computers by 60 percent.
• AOC made significant progress on several curatorial projects, including completing restoration to the large vaulted ceiling in the Reception Area of the Brumidi Corridors. On the Capitol Grounds, AOC thoroughly restored and modernized two historic bronze fountain basins and six large lanterns designed under Frederick Law Olmsted.
• AOC originated the Historic Preservation/Heritage Assets Working Group and held its inaugural meeting in February 2014. The initial effort focused on compiling Building Preservation Guides, to be used as reference documents when working on AOC Buildings.
• AOC completed an inventory of all architecturally and historically significant features at the U.S. Capitol. As part of this preservation documentation, each feature was photographed so that it could be clearly identified. AOC completed similar inventories for the Russell and Dirksen Senate Office Buildings and the Rayburn House Office Building.
• AOC completed a Cultural Landscape Report for Senate Parks and continued work on the Cultural Landscape Report for Union Square. Both products will serve as valuable long-term planning tools for future development and landscape maintenance. An upcoming report will focus on the buildings of the Library of Congress.
• AOC completed numerous small projects, with the AOC Construction Division successfully executing $24 million of in-house construction across Capitol Hill while also achieving a debris recycling rate of 95.6 percent.
• AOC completed major construction projects including the Supreme Court West Facade Restoration, West Refrigeration Plant Revitalization (Phase 1), U.S. Capitol Police Radio System, and Thomas P. O’Neill, Jr. Federal Building (with GSA). AOC also completed fall protection projects at the Capitol Power Plant, Thomas Jefferson Building (TJB), Russell Senate Office Building and Senate Park. The multiple track-type fall arrest systems and individual anchors are essential to assure the safety of operations personnel exposed to potential fall hazards.
• AOC completed major design projects including the Rayburn House Office Building Small Arms Firing Range Replacement, the Thurgood Marshall Federal Judiciary Building Roof Replacement and the TJB East and West Pavilion Roof Replacement.
• AOC launched an Executive Safety Walkthrough Inspection Program to inspect and observe in-process work. Inspections have been conducted at the HOB Carpentry Branch, Masonry Branch, Painting Branch, Electrical Branch, Mechanical Systems Branch, Day Cleaning Section, and Rayburn and Cannon Day Labor Sections.
• AOC received a regional Energy Award “For Accomplishments on Developing, Organizing, Managing and Implementing an Outstanding Corporate Energy Management Program” at the Association of Energy Engineers’ World Energy Engineering Congress in October 2013.
• AOC was awarded three 2013 Construction Management Association of America Project Achievement Awards: Infrastructure Project with Constructed Value Less Than $50 Million (Interior Rehabilitation of the East and West House Underground Garages), Program Management/ Program Phase—Buildings (U.S. Capitol Dome Skirt Restoration) and Program Management/Program Phase —Infrastructure (U.S. Capitol Power Plant, Tunnel Rehabilitation Program).
• As a partner to John C. Grimberg Co., Inc., AOC received an Association of General Contractors’ Washington Contractor Award for the Capitol Power Plant Improvement Project.
• AOC completed the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification of the U.S. Capitol Police K-9 facility in May 2014, achieving a status of LEED Gold.
• To prepare its facilities to be a model workplace, AOC is incorporating “Workplace of the Future” initiatives into space planning projects, as applicable.
