The U.S. Government currently occupies office and related space in a building under a lease in New Orleans, LA, that will be expiring in May 2024. The Government plans to seek a Succeeding Lease at the current location; however, the Government will consider alternative space 7if is economically advantageous, as determined by the Government. 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.
