Dear Chairman Mendelson:
Pursuant to the Reprogramming Policy Act of 1980, D.C. Official Code 47-363(a) and the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, approved December 27, 2020 (P.L. 116-260), the Office
of the Chief Financial Officer (OCFO) has reviewed the Mayors request to reprogram Capital
funds budget authority and allotment in the amount of $6,891,697 within the Department of Public

The funds are needed for DPW to correctly classify the category of vehicle purchases with capital

which identifies capital items to be replaced.
Capital budget in the amount of $6,891,697 will be reprogrammed from the following DPW-
owned and implemented capital projects:
Agency Project # Title Amount
DPW/DPW FLW02C DPW Fleet Vehicles > $100K ($5,558,283)

FY 2021 Reprogramming Request for $6,891,697 of Capital Funds Budget Authority and Allotment within the
Department of Public Works
Page 2
The budget will be reprogrammed to the following DPW-owned and implemented capital projects:
Agency Project Title Amount
DPW/DPW FLW01C DPW Fleet Vehicles > $275K $6,206,848
DPW/DPW FLW04C DPW Fleet Vehicles < $50K $684,849
Total: $6,891,697
Capital budget is available to reprogram from the above-referenced projects because it has not
been disbursed for its intended use. The reprogramming will ensure that the budget is disbursed
for its intended use from the appropriate DPW capital project.
The Office of Budget and Plannings analysis indicates that the reprogramming will not have an
adverse impact on DPWs budget or the Districts financial plan. The OCFO has no objection to
this reprogramming request.
Sincerely,
Jeffrey S. DeWitt

If this reprogramming is postponed, it will delay the purchasingofreplacement vehicles of an aging
and repair riddled Fleet.
What programs, services or other purchases will be delayed as a result of the action, and the
impact on the program or agency?
Vehicles purchased through these capital projects provide services city-wide. Trash/leaf collection,
street sweeping, towing abandoned vehicles are but a few of the programs that will most certainly
be delayed.
