Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the Full-
Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, approved March 15, 2025, Pub. L. No.

Capital funds budget authority and allotment in the amount of $750,000 from the Department of
General Services (DGS) to the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE).
This reprogramming is needed to fund additional work required to remove and replace weak and
unsuitable soil s discovered at the OSSE’s W Street Building Renovation project . The work
includes extra excavation and subgrade preparation to facilitate regrading and infilling of the site.
Capital budget in the amount of 750,000 will be reprogrammed from the following project:
Agency Project Title Amount
AM0/AM0 100144 AM0.PL902C.CRITICAL SYSTEM
REPLACEMENT $ 750,000.00
Total $ 750,000.00
Capital budget in the amount of $750,000 will be reprogrammed to the following project:
Agency Project Title Amount
GO0/AM0 100021 AM0.BRM15C.1601 W STREET NE
BUILDING RENOVATION $ 750,000.00
Total $ 750,000.00
Capital funds in the amount of $750,000 are available in Critical Systems Replacement project
because this project was created to provide adequate funding for similar needs within the DGS
portfolio throughout the fiscal year.

The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on the DGS or OSSE’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no
objection to this reprogramming request.

Glen Lee

MEMORANDUM
TO: Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs (OPLA)
FROM: Delano Hunter, Director, Department of General Services
DATE: July 14, 2025
SUBJECT: FY 2025 Request to Reprogram Capital Budget in the amount of $750,000.00
from the Department of General Services (DGS-Owner/Implementer)
Capital Budget to the Office of the State Superintendent of Education
(OSSE-Owner/DGS-Implementer) Capital Budget.
This is a reprogramming request to reprogram capital funds in the amount of $750,000.00 from
the Department of General Services (DGS-Owner/Implementer) capital project (100144 /
AM0.PL902C.CRITICAL SYSTEM REPLACEMENT), to the Office of the State
Superintendent of Education (OSSE-Owner/DGS-Implementer) capital project (100021 /
AM0.BRM15C.1601 W STREET NE BUILDING RENOVATION).
These funds are needed to address the issues caused by unsuitable soils uncovered at the project
site. The funds will be spent to perform additional excavation and replacement of the weak,
unsuitable soils with an adequate subgrade as part of the regrading and infill of the existing lot at
1601 W Street NE. The existing lot is being infilled so a new parking lot can be installed to store
approximately 200 OSSE buses.
Why are the funds needed?
Weak, clay soils have been uncovered that are hindering the contractor’s ability to use the on-site
crane to install the deep foundation piles that are supporting the new retaining wall. The retaining
wall is required in order to infill the existing site in preparation for the installation of a new
pavement parking lot for the OSSE buses. These funds are needed to address the issues caused
by unsuitable soils uncovered at the project site. The funds will be spent to perform additional
excavation and replacement of the weak, unsuitable soils with an adequate subgrade as part of the
regrading and infill of the existing lot at 1601 W Street NE. The existing lot is being infilled so a
new parking lot can be installed to store approximately 200 OSSE buses.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
John A. Wilson Building | 1350 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Suite 513 | Washington, DC 20004
Does this reprogramming establish new programs or change allocations specifically denied,
limited, or increased by the Council in the budget act, the accompanying budget report, or
mark-up sheets?
No.
How will the funds be reprogrammed?
Funds will be reprogrammed FROM the following projects.
Agency PROJECT TITLE Amount
AM0/AM0 100144 AM0.PL902C.CRITICAL SYSTEM
REPLACEMENT
($750,000.00)
TOTAL ($750,000.00
Funds will be reprogrammed TO the following projects:
Agency PROJECT TITLE Amount
GO0/AM0 100021 AM0.BRM15C.1601 W STREET NE
BUILDING RENOVATION
$750,000.00
TOTAL $750,000.00
Why are the funds available?
The funds are available because the DGS Critical Systems Replacement project is budgeted to
address unknown needs that emerge throughout the year. The reprogramming will ensure that the
capital budget is disbursed for its intended use from the appropriate agency fund.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
Currently OSSE has a relocation plan for the existing staff and buses housed at the 5th St NE
property. This new facility at W street is required to begin the planned relocation, which has
already been delayed due to the encountering of unsuitable soils across the site. Without this
reprogramming, further delays will continue.
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.
Should you have any qu estions, please contact Timothy Hatton, Chief Administrative Officer,
Department of General Services, at tim.hatton@dc.gov.
