OIG recommends that the Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations establish and implement procedures, when circumstances warrant deviation from standard construction project closeout procedures, that require the Project Directors to justify and document the decision to issue the Certificate of Substantial Completion without promptly providing a consolidated, complete, and accurate punch list to the contractor, including the impact of such decisions on the projected final acceptance date of the project and the additional costs to be incurred as a result.
