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 $300,000 from the Department of
General Services (DGS) to the Office of the State Superintended of Education (OSSE).
This reprogramming will fund upgrades at various OSSE Division of Student Transportation
(DOT) bus depot sites, including restroom improvements, HVAC upgrades, and other critical
facility enhancements.
Capital budget will be reprogrammed from the project below:
AGENCY PROJECT TITLE AMOUNT
AM0/AM0 100144 AM0.PL902C.CRITICAL SYSTEM
REPLACEMENT $ 300,000.00
TOTAL $ 300,000.00
Capital budget will be reprogrammed to the capital project as below:
AGENCY PROJECT TITLE AMOUNT
GO0/AM0 101383 OSSE DOT Bus Facility General
Improvements $ 300,000.00
TOTAL $ 300,000.00
The Honorable Phil Mendelson
FY 2026 Reprogramming Request for $300,000.00 of Capital Funds Budget Authority and Allotment from the
Department of General Services to the Office of the State Superintended of Education
Page 3
Capital budget in the amount of $300,000 is available in the Critical System Replacement project
because the project was funded to address various needs across the DGS’ municipal portfolio. This
reprogramming is below the threshold for Council approval. However, this request includes
approval for a new capital project for which approval must come from Council.
The Office of Budget and Planning’s analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on DGS 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: March 20, 2026
SUBJECT: FY 2026 Request to Reprogram Capital Budget in the amount of $300,000.00
from the Department of General Services (DGS- Owner/Implementer) to
Capital Budget to the Office of the State Superintended of Education (OSSE
DOT-Owner/DGS-Implementer) Capital Budget
The Department of General Services (DGS-Owner/Implementor) requests to reprogram FY26
Capital funds in the amount of $300,000.00 from capital project (100144/
AM0.PL902C.CRITICAL SYSTEM REPLACEMENT), to the Office of the State
Superintendent of Education (OSSE-DOT-Owner/DGS-Implementer) capital budget into a NEW
capital project (101383/ OSSE General Improvements – Bus Lots) for construction services at
various OSSE-DOT bus depot sites.
Why are the funds needed?
The funds are needed to address immediate facility needs across several OSSE Division of
Student Transportation (OSSE–DOT) operational sites. At the New York Avenue bus depot, the
restroom facilities are in deteriorated condition and require upgrades to maintain sanitary and
reliable accommodation for staff. In addition, the site requires critical repairs including exterior
lighting replacement and corrective work to the bus yard sliding gate, which is essential for site
security.
At the Southwest (SW) Terminal site, the existing HVAC system is failing to maintain
temperature‑controlled conditions during the summer months.
These improvements are necessary to ensure staff safety, maintain operational continuity, and
address ongoing maintenance issues that have surpassed the capacity of routine repairs.
Is this a reprogramming to restore a budget cut authorized by the Mayor and/or Council?
No.

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

TOTAL $300,000.00
In accordance with the Capital Project Clarification Act of 2009 requirements for a new project,
the following information is being provided by DGS in order to create a new project under DGS’
CIP:
1. Project name and number: OSSE General Improvements – Bus Lots/101383
2. Description of the scope of the project:
This project will address critical facility needs across multiple OSSE–DOT locations. At
the New York Avenue depot, the scope includes restroom upgrades necessary to provide
a clean, functional, and reliable facility. Additionally at this site, repairs to the sliding
security gate at the bus parking lot will be performed. At the SW Terminal, the project
will replace the existing HVAC system to ensure consistent temperature control during
summer months in employee working and waiting areas.
3. Description of the purpose of the project:
The purpose of this project is to provide essential facility improvements at the multiple
OSSE-DOT Bus Parking Lot Facilities throughout the city. These improvements are
intended to maintain and enhance the operational functionality, safety, and overall site
integrity required to support the daily activities of OSSE–DOT personnel. The facility
improvements include multiple aspects of each facility which include, but are not limited
to, general interior and exterior renovations, infrastructure repairs, and the
implementation of safety and security control measures. These enhancements are
designed to address existing facility deficiencies, improve operational efficiency, and
ensure that each location continues to effectively support the transportation operations
and personnel who utilize the sites daily.
4. Estimated full funding cost: $300,000.00
5. Description of its geographical location, including the address and Ward:

6. Estimated impact on the operating budget: N/A
7. Facility name or identifier: OSSE General Improvements – Bus Lots
Why are the funds available?
The funds are available as previously budgeted capital resources for the District’s municipal
portfolio. This new project will address essential health, safety, and infrastructure deficiencies at
key municipal sites to maintain a safe and functional environment.
What hardship will the District face if the action is postponed until the subsequent fiscal
year?
If this action is postponed until a future fiscal year, OSSE–DOT would face continued
operational risk, including unreliable restroom facilities, inadequate climate control for
employees, and compromised perimeter security due to the failing sliding gate. These concerns
would impact the ability to retain staff and could affect daily service delivery.
Delaying the work would also result in increased maintenance costs, recurring service
disruptions, and further degradation of facilities already beyond their expected service life.
Collectively, these upgrades ensure the continuity of student transportation operations and
support the health, safety, and comfort of employees who receive trip assignments. and wait
between morning and afternoon shifts at these facilities.
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.
