Practices for Closing Out Highway Projects from Substantial Completion to Final Payment

This synthesis report compiles and documents information regarding the current state of the practice for closing out highway projects from substantial completion to final payment. NCHRP Synthesis 570 documents reported durations of time to close out a project from opening day to final contractor payment and final closeout, required documentation for closeout, and the financial implications of not closing out a project. The report also includes policies, processes, tools, and metrics agencies use to control the duration required to close out projects, major factors influencing the delay of the closeout of a project, and successful practices as reported by state departments of transportation. Information in this study was acquired through a review of the literature, a survey of representatives of state departments of transportation, and follow-up interviews that were used to develop eight case examples of highway project closeout practices.
