The Honorable Phil Mendelson
Chairman
Council of the District of Columbia
John A. Wilson Building
1350 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Suite 504
Washington, DC 20004-3001
Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code § 47-363(a) and the Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2026, approved February 3, 2026, Pub. Law No. 119- 75, the Office of the Chief
Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayor’s request to reprogram Capital funds budget authority
and allotment in the amount of $4,290,000 from the Department of General Serv ices (DGS) to the
Department of Employment Services (DOES), Special Education Transportation (SET), the Office of the
State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), and DGS.
This reprogramming is required to fund the remaining scope of several projects associated with DOES,
SET, and OSSE, all of which are being implemented by DGS. The reprogramming will also fund fleet
vehicle requirements for DGS’s Facilities Management Division. Without this reprogramming, DGS will
be unable to deliver these capital projects in accordance with the planned completion schedule.
Capital budget will be reprogrammed from the project below:
AGENCY PROJECT TITLE AMOUNT
AM0/AM0 100144 AM0.PL902C.CRITICAL SYSTEM
REPLACEMENT $ 4,290,000.00
TOTAL $ 4,290,000.00
Capital budget will be reprogrammed to the capital projects as below:
AGENCY PROJECT TITLE AMOUNT
CF0/AM0 100240 AM0.SNTRCC.DC INFRASTRUCTURE
ACADEMY $ 400,000.00
GO0/AM0 100021 AM0.BRM15C.1601 W STREET NE BUILDING
RENOVATION $ 2,000,000.00

The Honorable Phil Mendelson
FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $4, 290,000 of Capital Funds Budget Authority and Allotment from the
Department of General Services (DGS) to the Department of Employment Services (DOES), Special Education
Transportation (SET), the Office of the State Superintendent of Education (OSSE), and the DGS
Page 2
Capital budget in the amount of $4,29 0,000 is available in the Critical Systems
Replacement project because this project was created to provide additional funding for various capital
needs within the DGS portfolio.
The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an adverse
impact on DGS, DOES, SET or OSSE’s budget or the District’s financial plan. The OCFO has no objection
to this reprogramming request.
Sincerely,
Glen M. Lee

MEMORANDUM
TO: Office of Policy and Legislative Affairs (OPLA)
FROM: Delano Hunter, Director, Department of General Services
DATE: January 6, 2026
SUBJECT: FY 2026 Request to Reprogram Capital Budget in the amount of $4,290,000
from the Department of General Services (DGS-Owner/Implementor)
Capital Budget to the Department of General Services (DGS-Owner),
Department of Employment Service (DOES-Owner), Special Education
Transportation (SET), and the Office of the State Superintendent of
Education (OSSE-Owner) Capital Budgets.
The Department of General Services (DGS) requests a FY26 capital reprogramming to
reprogram funds in the amount of $4,290,000.00 from the Department of General Services
(Owner/Implementor) capital project (100144/ AM0.PL902C.CRITICAL SYSTEM
REPLACEMENT) to various Department of General Services implemented capital projects. The
funds are needed at (100240/ AM0.SNTRCC. DC INFRASTRUCTURE ACADEMY), (100021/
AM0.BRM15C.1601 W STREET NE BUILDING RENOVATION), (100009/
AM0.ATCG1C.CTE ADVANCED TECHNICAL CENTER 1), and (100034/
AM0.BRMFMC.FLEET REPLACMENT/UPGRADE) for necessary capital improvements
planned for completion within this fiscal year.
While DGS budgets for these types of unknown scopes of work, within the DGS Critical
Systems Replacement project, instead of the correct owner agency capital project, implemented
by DGS, a reprogramming to the proper capital project, as per the District’s financial guidelines,
is required.
Why are the funds needed?
• 100240 – DC Infrastructure Academy:
The project is delivering in Spring 2026, and the funds are needed to ensure the scope of
work is completed to meet the operational needs of DOES end users. Failure to provide
these funds in this fiscal year will delay the delivery of the project and will jeopardize
project completion and closeout.
_____________________________________________________________________________________________
John A. Wilson Building | 1350 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Suite 513 | Washington, DC 20004
• 100021 – W Street Building Renovation:
The project costs have significantly increased due to encountering unforeseen site
conditions, including unsuitable soils (clay, contaminated and debris filled) and
abandoned underground fuel storage tanks (UST), which depleted the project
contingency and allowances. The project is delivering in Spring 2026, and the funds are
needed in FY26 to ensure the scope of work is completed to meet the operational needs
of OSSE.
• 100009 – CTE Advanced Technical Center:
Reprogramming is required to replace the existing cooling tower, which is no longer
operational, and to install supplemental heating for the existing program area as well as
new heating capacity for the Phase 2 expansion.
• 100034 – Fleet Replacement:
The funds are needed to purchase necessary vehicles for our Protect Services Division
(PSD). PSD provides 24-hour law enforcement and physical security services that
support District government operations, protection of employees, resources, and facilities
at approximately 840 District-owned and leased properties. PSD has only 23 vehicles
with an average age of nine (9) years. DGS currently has $323k available to purchase
fleet vehicles. This money is planned to be spent on fleet vehicle needs within our
Facilities Management Division. The $390k will go towards the planned purchase of an
estimated seven (7) Ford Police Interceptors. Currently, the additional vehicles will
supplement the Mayor’s enhancement of 23 new security officers for the John A. Wilson
Building, who are replacing contract security officers, and for patrol services.
Is this a reprogramming to 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 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

REPLACMENT/UPGRADE
$390,000.00
TOTAL $4,290,000.00
Why are the funds available?
The funds are available because the DGS Critical Systems Replacement project is budgeted to
address unanticipated capital improvements in the District’s municipal portfolio that emerge
throughout the year.
The reprogramming will ensure that the capital budget is disbursed for its intended use from the
appropriate agency project.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
• 100240 – DC Infrastructure Academy: Failure to provide these funds in this fiscal
year will delay the delivery of the project and will jeopardize project completion
and closeout.
The DCIA project at Spingarn has encountered multiple unforeseen challenges. The
DOES DCIA program is moving from their old location (at Wilkinson School) to this
new larger space which houses new additional and essential programs, such as the Auto-
Lab area. The project is delivering in Spring 2026 (next 5-6 months), and the funds are
needed to ensure the scope of work is completed to meet the operational needs of DOES
end users. Early last year, the project went thru large VE exercise with the end user
program folks from DOES and managed to VE $10M out of the project. However, the
project was never made “whole” financially even after the removed VE scope items.
• 100021 – W Street Building Renovation: Failure to provide these funds in this fiscal
year will delay the delivery of the project, will jeopardize project completion and
closeout and will prolong OSSE’s inefficient operation at their 5th Street location.
This project is delivering in Spring 2026, and OSSE plans are to consolidate their bus
terminal operation by relocating their entire operation from their 5Th Street location to
this new location. In addition, the project costs have significantly increased due to
encountering unforeseen site conditions, including unsuitable soils (clay, contaminated
and debris filled) and abandoned underground fuel storage tanks (UST), which depleted
the project contingency and allowances. The project is delivering in Spring 2026, and
the funds are needed in FY26 to ensure the scope of work is completed to meet the
operational needs of OSSE.

John A. Wilson Building | 1350 Pennsylvania Ave., NW, Suite 513 | Washington, DC 20004
• 100009 – CTE Advanced Technical Center: Without this funding, the Agency will
have to rent a temporary cooling tower to maintain cooling for the existing facility.
The ATC CTE Phase 2 project is scheduled for completion in Summer 2026. If the
required funding is postponed to the subsequent fiscal year, the project will be unable to
provide the necessary cooling and heating infrastructure to maintain conditioned air
throughout the facility. This shortfall directly affects both the currently operational ATC
CTE program and the construction schedule for the new educational and clinic space.
Reprogramming is required to replace the existing cooling tower, which is no longer
operational, and to install supplemental heating for the existing program area as well as
new heating capacity for the Phase 2 expansion. Without this funding, the Agency will
have to rent a temporary cooling tower to maintain cooling for the existing facility.
However, the temporary cooling solution will not support the new educational space, and
as a result, the new area will not be able to obtain a Certificate of Occupancy as planned.
This would lead to significant delays and additional costs, ultimately impacting ATCCTE
program operations and the scheduled opening of the new space.
• 100034 – Fleet Replacement: Without this funding, DGS will be unable to procure
necessary vehicles for PSD. Currently, PSD has 23 vehicles with an average age of nine
(9) years. Some PSD vehicles are used constantly and do not allow for any downtime for
routine maintenance needs. Without additional vehicles, we will see more vehicle issues
due to increased usage, less time for patrolling of vacant buildings, and the inability to
provide vehicles to any of the 23 new officers coming on board to support security
services at the John A. Wilson Building.
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.

Officer, at silverio.ramirez@dc.gov
