REPAIRS AND ALTERATIONS

GSA is the steward of over 1,500 government-owned buildings, which have a replacement value of $45 billion. PBS is requesting a Repairs and Alterations program of $869 million to enable GSA to maintain and improve these properties so they continue to meet the mission needs of our tenant agencies. Each of these projects has a long-term federal need and is capable of becoming economically self-sufficient, i.e., the rent we collect on the asset exceeds our costs in operating and maintaining it.

The highlights of GSA's FY 2012 Repairs and Alterations Program include:

  $402 million for Basic Repairs and Alterations;

  $395 million for Full Scope and Major Repairs and Alterations;

  $15 million for the Fire Prevention Program;

  $40 million for Energy and Water Retrofit and Conservation Measures; and

  $7 million for Wellness and Fitness Program.

This program includes the following proposed major building modernizations:

  $50 million for the last phase of the Interior Building in Washington, DC;

  $55 million for the last phase of the Harry S. Truman Building in Washington, DC;

  $199 million for the last phase of the Prince J. Kuhio Kalanianaole Federal Building and US Courthouse in Honolulu, HI;

  $50 million for the Philip Burton FBI Consolidation in San Francisco, CA; and

  $24 million for the Prevedel Federal Building in Overland, MO.

All of these investments are critical, including the Basic Repairs and Alterations
