Comments:
The initial award amount was posted in error, showing for only one survey; however, since there will likely be one done in the spring and one done in the fall, as specified in the RFP, the amount had to be revised. It is anticipated that only one survey will be done in 2017.
This award corrects and replaces the award posted below on October 5, 2015.
