Which entity applies the contractor's approval stamp to the SD-11 closeout document?

Which entity applies the contractor's approval stamp to the SD-11 closeout document?

• A. To the document itself
• B. To a separate sheet accompanying the document
• C. To the owner's signature
• D. To the project budget

Answer: (B)

In closeout procedures, contractor approval is recorded on a separate sheet that accompanies the SD-11 document. This separate approval page provides a clear, auditable record of the contractor’s consent without altering the main form itself, which preserves the integrity of the document and keeps stamping/initials contained to a dedicated sheet. It also makes the approval easier to file, review, and update if needed, since the main SD-11 remains unmodified. Stamping directly on the document itself would modify its content, and stamping on the owner's signature or on the project budget wouldn’t accurately reflect the contractor’s sanctioned approval for closeout.
