DISCUSSION
Bristol Street is a major north-south transportation facility designated as a major arterial in the City’s Circulation Element of the General Plan. Improving the Bristol Street segment from Warner Avenue to Memory Lane has been a long-term priority project that will be constructed in several phases. Phase 3A of this project includes the Civic Center Drive to Washington Street segment, and Phase 4 includes the Warner Avenue to St. Andrew Place segment. Improvements include widening the street from two to three lanes in each direction, raised landscape medians, and bike lanes.
On April 10, 2023, the Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) Board of Directors approved of their organization’s Technical Advisory Committee recommendation to increase the Bristol Street Improvement Project Regional Capacity (Project O) grant funding to a total amount of $5,444,992 for Phase 3A, and $12,227,342 for Phase 4 (Exhibits 1 and 2) due to the general increases in construction costs. Additionally, the City is required to provide matching funds in the amount of $2,803,008 and $6,568,658 for Phase 3A and Phase 4, respectively. The City Council

previously recognized $5,239,043 for Phase 3A and $11,910,066 for Phase 4 of the initial award of this grant, and matching funds were previously budgeted in prior fiscal years. Any new required match will be budgeted in upcoming Capital Improvement Program (CIP) cycles. Recognition of these grant funds will amend the Fiscal Year 2023-24 Capital Improvement Program (Exhibit 3) and allow City staff to continue work on the Bristol Street Improvements project (Exhibit 4).

Approval of the requested appropriation adjustment will recognize the additional grant award in the amount of $523,225 from Measure M Street Construction revenue account (No. 03217002-52332) and appropriate the same amount to the Measure M2 Competitive, Improvements Other Than Building expenditure account (No. 03217663- 66220).
