e. Other expenses, such as the following:

1. Relocation/move-in expenses.

2. Acquisition process.

3. Personal and other health and safety protection.

4. Temporary housing.

5. Utility consumption.

6. Facility calibration.

7. Facility dedication.

8. Personnel travel.

9. Training (except for collateral equipment).
