under a lease in Natchitoches, LA that will be expiring. The Government is
considering alternative space if economically advantageous. In making this
determination, the Government will consider, among other things, the availability
of alternative space that potentially can satisfy the Government’s requirements,
as well as costs likely to be incurred through relocating, such as physical move
costs, replication of tenant improvements and telecommunication infrastructure,
and non-productive agency downtime.
