The AOC’s Performance and Accountability Report includes forward-looking information regarding the future effects of existing, currently known demands, risks, uncertainties, events, conditions and trends. The backlog in deferred maintenance and capital renewal projects is one of the management challenges identified.
Forward-Looking Information in Brief
The AOC has identified the following as the agency’s most significant challenges for FY 2020 and beyond:
Backlog in Deferred Maintenance and Capital Renewal Projects. Resource constraints have deferred maintenance and delayed important capital renewal work causing deterioration of buildings and grounds. Significant investments are needed for preservation and to ensure the future safety of building occupants and visitors. As of September 30, 2019, the AOC’s total backlog was estimated at $1.77 billion.
Campus Security. The AOC is responsible for supporting the U.S. Capitol Police and providing security functions around the Capitol campus. The AOC continues to focus on meeting security requirements while also ensuring that safety, preservation and accessibility needs are met.
Energy Stewardship and Sustainability. The AOC targets energy use reductions on an annual basis. This fiscal year, the AOC completed its first full year of the Capitol Power Plant’s cogeneration system operations. This program — coupled with the Refrigeration Plant Revitalization Program and planned upgrades for the Library of Congress’ facilities — will enable further energy efficiencies.
Management of Concurrent Construction Projects. The AOC is concurrently undertaking multiple major construction, renewal and restoration projects. To ensure success, the AOC must establish that each project is delivered safely, is high quality, remains on time and within budget and with minimal disruptions to the agency’s clients.
Attracting and Retaining a Skilled and Engaged Workforce. The AOC requires a high-performing and engaged workforce to achieve its mission and deliver services to stakeholders. The
iv An Executive Summary of the AOC’s Financial and Performance Results
AOC’s human capital strategy includes attrition management and efforts to attract and retain talented staff.
Workplace Safety and Health. The AOC is responsible for ensuring that safety and health standards are met for those who work at or visit the Capitol campus. The AOC does this while addressing operational needs, applicable regulations and challenging working conditions that are unique to Capitol Hill.
The AOC’s Inspector General identified additional management opportunities and performance challenges facing the organization: auditability and documentation to support decisions, cybersecurity, lack of whistleblower protection, property accountability and surplus property disposal, managing user-requested changes on construction projects, balancing safety and security with preservation and heritage, and duplication of effort without a working capital fund.
