## What this funds

The Herbert C. Hoover Building (HCHB) Renovation and Modernization plan combines Department of Commerce (DOC) and General Services Administration (GSA) solutions to address major building systems that are beyond their useful life and are deteriorating. The plan is a modernization project that replaces aging building systems with new, more efficient systems (i.e., fire and life safety compliance); new heating, ventilation, air- conditioning, and lighting systems; security improvements (perimeter security and blast-resistant windows); and recaptures space in Courtyard 6. It includes the Department's effort to improve space utilization, decrease reliance on leased space, and reduce its footprint. Also, as part of this extensive modernization effort, a necessary element in the effectiveness of the HCHB building's physical security systems and program will be to increase the level of protection to the overall security of the building and its occupants. Base Program The HCHB Renovation and Modernization base program includes personnel related funding associated with four positions. Continued support of the positions is crucial to the operation of the renovation project. These positions perform functions such as aiding management on program operations efficiency and productivity, serving as project managers for IT and space planning, assisting with communication, and acting as the Contracting Officer's Representative for the HCHB support contracts. The personnel performing these roles are essential to working with GSA in the planning and execution of the HCHB Renovation and Modernization Project as well as keeping the lines of communication open between GSA and DOC. The personnel also work on smaller renovation projects, such as the build of the Consolidated Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility project and the HCHB Roof Replacement project. The base program support also includes rent, utilities, training, shared printing, and supplies. DM - 52 Exhibit 12
