DlscvssloN On March 6, 2006, the City Council awarded contracts to CPSI and OPC for right-of-way services for Phase I of the Bristol street widening project. Phase I is part of the overall Bristol Street widening project between Warner Avenue and Seventeenth Street which is funded by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA). As the City moves forward towards the future phases of this project and begins construction of Phase I between Pine and McFadden, the consultant agreements for right-of-way services must be amended to maintain continuity, efficiency, and to meet the project schedule. The consulting firms of CPSI and OPC coordinated the acquisition, appraisal, relocation, and property management for the properties affected by the widening. Completion of right-of-acquisition for Phase I is expected in spring 2009. These firms have performed an excellent job negotiating with property owners and in managing the other right-of-way support consultants to keep the project ahead of schedule and under budget. With additional funding anticipated for Bristol Street Phase II between Third Street and Civic Center, and several other intersection widening projects funded by OCTA, CPSI and OPC will provide overall right-of-way 250-1
