Staff Report

TOPIC: Time Extension Request of Measure M2 CTFP Grant Funds
AGENDA TITLE
Approve Submittal of Request for Time Extension of the Measure M2 Comprehensive
Transportation Funding Program for Bristol Street Improvements Phase IV, Warner
Avenue to Saint Andrew Place, Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection
Improvements, and Warner Avenue Improvements, Oak Street to Grand Avenue
(Project Nos. 11-6741, 17-6833, and 18-6901) (Non-General Fund)
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Authorize the Public Works Agency to request a two-year time extension of Measure M2
Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program funding for Bristol Street
Improvements Phase IV (Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place) (23-SNTA-ACE-4043),
Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements (23-SNTA-ICE-4041), and
Warner Avenue Improvements (Oak Street to Grand Avenue) (23-SNTA-ACE-4044).
GOVERNMENT CODE §84308 APPLIES: No
DISCUSSION
The Bristol Street Improvements Phase 4, from Warner Avenue to Saint Andrew Place,
Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements, and Warner Avenue
Improvements Phase 2, from Oak Street to Grand Avenue, projects were awarded a
total of $25,409,167 in funds by the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA)
Measure M2 Comprehensive Transportation Funding Program (CTFP) for Fiscal Year
2023-24.
In accordance with CTFP guidelines, the construction contracts for these projects must
be awarded by June 30, 2024. Despite diligent efforts to advance these projects through
the construction phase, additional time is required beyond this deadline. CTFP
guidelines also provide a one-time, up to two-year extension of Measure M2 CTFP
funding, which will allow sufficient time to complete the outstanding project preparations
for construction. Approval of this request will safeguard against a potential lapse in grant
funding. The table below summarizes the request:

The following is a brief summary of each project and their starts:
The Bristol Street Improvements include features such as buffered protected bike lanes,
raised medians, parkways, buffer, and median landscaping, street widening, pavement
reconstruction, signal modifications, and bus pads. This project has experienced delays
due to utility coordination and cost escalation. Additionally, this project is now in the final
stages of utility undergrounding design. Construction of these improvements is
anticipated to commence in the final quarter of the year and this formal request to
extend time will ensure continued OCTA funding.
Bristol Street and Memory Lane Intersection Improvements include widening of the
intersection, adding a southbound through lane by replacement and installation of
curbs, gutters, sidewalks, driveway approaches, pavement, landscaping, curb ramps,
and traffic signal modifications. The utility coordination and Right of Way (ROW)
acquisition phase for this project is nearing completion. Construction on these
improvements is anticipated in the fall of 2024.
Warner Avenue Improvements Phase 2 from Oak Street to Grand Avenue includes the
installation of parkways, raised medians, landscaping, storm drains, protected bike
lanes, sound walls, pavement reconstruction, street lights, traffic signals, and bus pads.
The project is in the final stages of utility relocation planning, ROW acquisition, and
railroad coordination. Construction of these improvements is anticipated in the fall of
2024.
FISCAL IMPACT
If this item is not approved, the City will relinquish over $25 million in awarded
construction grant funding that will expire.
