under a lease in Fort Smith, Arkansas, 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.
