Does OTA have the same fiscal year as the state? If so wouldn't we be in higher year 2017 right now meaning the 1st bridge budgeted would be happening within the next 12 months?

That is correct. The state's FY is July-June and OTA follows it.

I saw on one of the reports on OTAs website where it states they're in "negotiations" for this project. I'm guessing that means they're negotiating with the consultant on the design fees so it probably won't be until later in the FY when they go to bid.
