Authorize the Public Works Agency to request a two -year time extension of the construction
funding deadline to June 30, 2017 for the Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding
Program /Project 0 for the Bristol Street Improvements between Washington Avenue and
Seventeenth Street.
DISCUSSION
Bristol Street is a major north -south transportation facility which is designated as a major arterial
highway in the City's Circulation Element of the General Plan. Improving the 3.9 -mile Bristol Street
segment from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane has been a long -term priority project that will be
constructed in several phases. The project includes improvements of Bristol Street between
Washington Avenue and Seventeenth Street (Exhibit 1) and is designated Phase IIIB.
Improvements include widening the street from two to three lanes in each direction, raised
landscape medians, and bike lanes.
On November 28, 2011, the City Council adopted Resolution 2011 -013 authorizing an application
for right -of -way and construction funding under the Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation
Funding Program (CTFP) Regional Capacity Program (Project 0) for Phase IIIB. On March 14,
2012, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Board of Directors approved right -of-
way funding in the amount of $11,152,575 and construction funding in the amount of $2,631,816
for use in fiscal years 2013 -14 and 2014 -15, respectively. In accordance to the CTFP guidelines,
the construction contract for this project must be awarded by June 30, 2015.

not yet reached agreement on several properties. The ongoing negotiations now put the schedule
for awarding a construction contract beyond the June 30, 2015, deadline. Staff recommends that
the City Council authorize the Public Works Agency to request a two -year time extension for
expenditure of Measure M2 CTFP construction and right -of -way allocations to avoid the loss of this
significant funding.
