The act placed several conditions on the appropriation, one of which was that the Comptroller General review the proposed solicitation for the contract to ensure that it adequately addressed all of the elements stipulated in the act. Government officials initially told GAO that they planned to apply the $250,000 payment to existing contracts that were being used in the District's independent effort to reform its classification and compensation systems--and therefore would not carry out the conditions that Congress had established for receipt of the funds. However, the officials more recently said that the District no longer plans to use the funds because doing so would delay its reform effort. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-690R/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-690R.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-690R/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-690R.pdf GAO-01-690R https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-01-690R Correspondence GAO-01-690R; District of Columbia: Compensation Simplification Contracting Requirements; Payroll systems Municipal governments Government contracts State and local procurement Solicitation specifications Appropriation limitations District of Columbia Public Law 106-522
