The new lease term will be 10 years with a 5-year firm term, commencing 08/01/2026. The delineated area is bounded by Union Street (North), Church Street (South), 5th Avenue (East), and Polk Avenue (West) in Nashville, TN.

The justification cites substantial cost savings by remaining at the current location versus relocating, with the incumbent lessor already having the required server room with 24/7 HVAC and FSL II security capabilities. The incumbent lessor has expressed interest in retaining the agency.
