Social distancing, each bedroom will be occupied by one service member. However this solicitation requests 136 double occupancy rooms, should this be a request for single occupancy rooms?

Single occupancy is an option as well.

Group can be divided amongst two hotels as long as the second hotel is in walking distance, i.e. across the street or no more than .05 mile.
