Encumbering funds essentially reserves the money that is needed to cover the cost of contracts. The Chief of the district CSU ensures that the “Fund Split” columns in the COST report reflect the current estimated fund split for each existing and proposed contract.

The CM and District budget office verifies that the funding information shown in ADM 360 and ADM 0248 is correct. Project Management Directive (PMD) 009, Encumbrance Project ID for [A&E] Contracts explains this process.
