After the project is complete, the next step is project closeout. Project Closeout provides a determination of the overall closure status of the project, contracts, regulatory drivers, and fiscal condition. After CD-4 approval, the project is required to complete these activities:

• Project Closeout Report once all project costs are incurred and invoiced and all contracts are closed. The report includes final cost details as required to include claims and claims settlement strategy where appropriate. 

• Document achievement of Facility Sustainment goals (e.g., LEED Gold, LEED Silver, etc.), as applicable, via an independent third-party entity within one year of facility occupancy in accordance with EO 13693, Section 3(h), EO 13514, Section 3, and DOE O 436.1. 

• Update the property record in the Facilities Information Management System (FIMS) for all construction of or modifications to real property. (Refer to DOE O 430.1C.)
