Guiding Principles• Constrained approach, focusing on conservative projected growth in annual
General Fund debt service for the next few years.• Provides “bridge” to the next year of budget deliberations and the economic
recovery, and then return to our normal ten-year CIP (FY 2023 – FY 2032) process in late spring 2022
• Prioritize projects that address failing /end-of-life infrastructure• e.g., West Glebe Road Bridge, trails and bridges, technology systems, roofs and
hvac systems
• Meet legal and regulatory obligations• e.g., Metro
• Restart investments identified as part of planning processes• Neighborhood conservation, Crystal City
• Make technology and facilities investments with considerations of the new workplace environment post pandemic

17FY 2022-FY 2024 PROPOSED CIP
Key Considerations in Developing Capital Maintenance Requests• Facility Condition Assessment (FCA)
• Provides basis for determining the building's conditions
• Identifies immediate and long-term maintenance needs
• Provides estimated one for one replacement values
• Actual replacements includes higher Energy Efficiency equipment
• On-the-ground insights are applied to supplement the FCA
• Identify equipment that is no longer supported by the manufacturer or compatible with replaced equipment, or
• Requiring excessive maintenance*DPR is developing a similar FCA process for evaluating their parks outdoor portfolio.
