The resulting analysis and report will inform the spatial scale of hydrologic connectivity and what features develop thermal refuge. The awarded purchase order will be for a base period of 12 months, and include two (2) 12-month option periods. Reclamation believes that only one responsible source can fully provide the services that will satisfy the agency�s requirements. A Determination to Solicit from a Single Source is being prepared.
