AOC’s Utility Tunnel Improvement Plan Provides Some Required Information, But Does Not Address Options for Improvement

AOC issued its Utility Tunnel Improvement Plan on August 31, 2006, as directed by the House Committee on Appropriations, but the plan includes only some of the required information and discusses future efforts to provide all of the requested information.

House Report 109-485, dated June 1, 2006, directed the Architect of the Capitol to "provide a plan and budget to the committee that strategically address long term repairs to the steam tunnels over the next 5 years."

According to the report, the plan should include, at a minimum, "an assessment of the tunnel problems that need to be corrected, the priorities from safety and operational standpoints, options for addressing the problems along with the costs and benefits and advantages and disadvantages of each option, the recommended options and schedule for implementation, and the identification of officials who will be accountable."
