COMMUNITY CONSERVATION


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

concepts deemed infeasible• All concepts posed untenable operational challenges and compromises

•Next Steps• Evaluate relocation of non-site essential programs (TE&O, Police

Impound)• Consider alternative APS transportation models and/or operations

practices• Plan for future EV infrastructure and operations

ART Shirlington Operations & Maintenance Facility

Project Overview•Scope:

Facilities Management


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.
