6 plus documented moving costs. A present-value analysis and the
7 consumer price index shall be used in the calculation of lease
8 costs. Any replacement lease negotiated pursuant to this
9 paragraph, which is for a term exceeding 1 year, must permit
10 the agency to terminate the lease without penalty if a
11 state-owned building becomes available by providing 6 months
12 advance written notice to the lessor, unless the Department of
13 Management Services approves a request from the agency to be
14 exempted from this requirement and the agency demonstrates in
15 writing that the cost of the replacement lease is at least 10
16 percent less than the market rate plus documented moving
17 expenses. The term of the replacement lease may not exceed the
18 base term of the expiring lease.
