Project. Of the $6,500,000 settlement amount, $2,500,000 will be covered by approved Federal
funding. The remaining $4,000,000 has been identified in the existing balances of the H Street
Bridge Project to fulfill the settlement obligation.
Capital budget in the amount of $4,000,000 will be reprogrammed from the following project:
Agency Project Title Amount
KA0 100498 KA0.BR005C.H STREET BRIDGE $4,000,000.00
Total $4,000,000.00

Phone: (202) 727-2476 * Fax: (202) 727-1643 * www.cfo.dc.gov
Capital Budget in the amount of $4,000,000 is available due to DDOT's budget reprioritization to
facilitate this settlement payment by the February 28 th deadline . DDOT has committed to
replenishing these funds in a future year within the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
Per the Fiscal Year 2024 Budget Support Act of 2023, Section 6043, all DDOT reprogramming
requests must be submitted to the Council for resolution until evidence of an executed contract per
§ 50-921.21(c)(1) is transmitted to the Council and Chair of the Committee with oversight over
DDOT.
The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on the DDOT’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection
to this reprogramming request.
Sincerely,
Glen Lee

MEMORANDUM
TO: Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs (OPLA)
FROM: Sharon Kershbaum, Director, DDOT
DATE: January 28, 2025
SUBJECT: FY 2025 Request to Reprogram $4,000,000 in Capital Funds from the H
Street Bridge Project to the Rehab of Key Bridge Over Potomac Project
DDOT requests to reprogram $4,000,000 from the H Street Bridge project (100498) to the Rehab
of Key Bridge Over Potomac River project (100696) to support a legal settlement.
Why are the funds needed?
The DC Office of the Attorney General (OAG) reached a $6,500,000 settlement agreement with
Technopref Industries, Inc. for claims against the District for delays and modified or enlarged
scopes of work on the Key Bridge rehabilitation project, funded through the DDOT capital
budget. The Key Bridge project has $2,500,000 in unspent federal funding that DDOT has
received federal approval to apply to the total settlement amount. DDOT has identified
$4,000,000 in existing balances in the H Street Bridge project that can be redirected to meet the
Key Bridge settlement need. DDOT will request the replenishment of these funds in a future year
of the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP).
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
See attached attributes sheet for details.
Why are the funds available?
Funds are available because they have not been disbursed for their intended use. The
construction contract for the H Street Bridge project is currently in solicitation and the final
award amount is not yet known. DDOT will request the replenishment of these funds in a future
year of the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP).
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
The District will not be able to satisfy the settlement agreement. The agreement requires
payment of the full settlement amount no later than February 28, 2025.
2
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and
the impact on the program or agency?
No negative impact is anticipated as a result of this reprogramming.
Should you have any questions, please contact Ben Hampton, Resource Allocation Officer, at
ben.hampton@dc.gov or 771-233-4955.
