Before submitting the request for final closing of a project, the ROW staff should verify that:

all required ROW is acquired
all condemnation cases are closed by final judgment
all utility adjustments are completed
all charges owed by the State are paid
(if applicable) the LPA has requested reimbursement on all expenses eligible for State participation
all relocation assistance is completed
all demolition invoices are paid
(if applicable) the LPA participation deposit and expenditures have been reconciled, and determine if LPA has a refund or receivable due. Collection of debt should begin if a receivable is due.

During final closing submission, check ROW records as to the disposition of all parcels for which values were approved, and determine whether the ROW Division was notified. If it appears that there are parcels having approved values that are not to be acquired, these parcels should have a parcel status of “clear for construction” in ROWIS.
