About BEP Washington, DC Facility (DCF) Western Currency Facility (WCF) Main Building (1914) Annex Building (1938) Fort Worth, Texas (1991)  Proud history  Began operating in 1862  Became the sole producer of US currency in 1877  Two facilities: Washington, DC and Fort Worth, TX, with a leased warehouse in Landover, MD  Number of employees: 1,800; (DCF 1,200) + (WCF 600)  15 unions and 19 bargaining units  FY 2018 payroll – $225M  FY 2019 Small Business Eligible contracts – $55M 2

Facility Program Summary  Initial Phase: Construct a smaller, more-efficient replacement currency production facility within the National Capital Region  Future Phase: Modernize the Main Building for BEP administrative functions and other government agencies  Final Phase: Surplus Annex Building to reduce BEP’s footprint by 27%  BEP would operate both the Main office building and new production facility 3

Current DC Facility Issues  The Main and Annex buildings are 105 and 81 years old, respectively, with aging/outdated infrastructures that require costly maintenance  Meeting the demand for currency and technological innovation must contend with: • Lack of flexibility in the facility for new production processes required to support currency redesign efforts and new anti-counterfeit security features • Multi-level manufacturing  GAO review of BEP’s facility options confirmed a replacement production facility is the most economical facility solution 4

Replacement Facility Location Requirements  Access to the interstate roadway system for transportation of currency to Federal Reserve Banks and commercial airports  Highly-skilled workforce cannot be easily or quickly replicated outside of the National Capital Region without severe impact to the Nation’s money supply 216 Printers, Pressmen, Electro Machinists, and Book Binders: 4 – 8 year training program 8 Engravers: 5 – 10 year training program 5

Potential BARC Site  USDA & Congress support BEP development on unused 100-acre site at the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center (BARC) in Maryland  2018 Farm Bill provided authority to transfer land parcel to BEP  Majority of employees live in MD (64.8%) and of those, 43% reside in Prince George’s County 6

Potential BARC Site 200 Area Cluster of the BARC Central Farm Includes those buildings specifically used for poultry research 7

Potential Development Information  Facility would be constructed on less than 2% of BARC’s existing acres  Remediate and demolish approximately 24 abandoned facilities  Facility approximately 850K – 1M square feet in size  Typical height – 30’ to 40’  Facility access would be from Powder Mill Road  Parking area will comply with NCPC planning figures • 6:30 am – 3:00 pm day shift; approx. 1,100 personnel • 2:30 pm – 11:00 pm evening shift; approx. 170 personnel • 10:30 pm – 7:00 am midnight shift; approx. 170 personnel  Air and waste water treated onsite prior to discharge  Storm water controlled onsite 8

BARC Program Benefits  Removal of approximately 24 abandoned facilities – 4% reduction of BARC footprint • Reduction of maintenance and reporting costs  All infrastructure improvements required to support BEP would be funded by the project  Potential for cooperation on community services • Shared shuttle on campus and to DC HQ offices • Childcare • Law enforcement cooperation  Increased BARC site utilization by hosting another federal agency 9

Replacement Facility Program Logistics  When: Design to construction will take approximately 10 years; replacement facility rolling operational start-up from 2025 to 2029.
