MEMORANDUM
TO: Tomas Talamante
Director, Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs
Executive Office of the Mayor
FROM: Dr. Lewis Ferebee
Chancellor
District of Columbia Public Schools
DATE: April 1, 2025
SUBJECT: FY 2025 Request to reprogram capital budget in the amount of $ 500,000.00
within the DCPS (Owner AGY)/DGS (Implementing AGY) capital budget.
DCPS requests to reprogram FY 2025 capital funds in the amount of $500,000.00 from the Deal
JHS (100109) project to the Ludlow-Taylor (100287) project to rectify unforeseen soil
conditions at Ludlow-Taylor.
Why are the funds needed?
The funds are needed for the following purposes:
$500,000.00 for Ludlow-Taylor Addition (100287), to complete the scope of the project. During
excavation, unsuitable soils deeper than originally shown in the geotechnical testing were
revealed. This unforeseen condition required more excavation, additional backfill, and additional
sheeting and shoring, which is beyond the cost of available contingency funds.
Does this reprogramming restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.
Does this reprogramming establish new programs or change allocations specifically denied,
limited, or increased by the Council in the budget act, the accompanying bud get report, or
mark-up sheets?
No.

How will the funds be reprogrammed?
Funds will be reprogrammed FROM the following projects:
Agency Project Title Amount
GA0/AM0 100109 AM0.ND437C.DEAL JHS-
MODERNIZATION/RENOVATION ($500,000.00)
TOTAL ($500,000.00)
Funds will be reprogrammed TO the following projects:
Agency Project Title Amount
GA0/AM0 100287 AM0.YY168C.LUDLOW-TAYLOR ES
MODERNIZATION/RENOVATION 500,000.00
TOTAL $500,000.00
Why are the funds available?
Capital budget in the amount of $500,000.00 is available because the Deal project is complete.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
The Ludlow-Taylor Addition project has already faced schedule impacts because of this
unforeseen condition. Without additional funding the project will not be able to be completed in
this fiscal year as planned.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and the
impact on the program or agency?
No other projects will be delayed by this action.
