In what order should the following project close out activities take place?
I. preparing the final certificate for payment
II. compiling punch list
III. issuing certificate of substantial completion
IV. receiving notification from the contractor that the project is ready for final inspection
V. releasing the final payment to the contractor after consent of surety is received
A. II, III, V, IV, then I
B. II, IV, III, V, then I
C. IV, II, V, I, then III
D. IV, V, II, III, then I
I don't think A, B, C, or D are correct. I would have said it should be II, IV, III, I, then V. Ballast says the answer is B.
What am I missing here?
