For a government project if more than 20% of respondants are dissatisfied who would be responsible for developing the plan for corrective action? I was told that the survey is created on LEED online by the Mechanical Designer, and the actual survey is conducted by either the owner or contractor? Corrective actions are taken by the Contractor, however it was a concern by the government that they wouldn't be able to close the Contractor's contract until the survey is done...anyone have any input or experience with this? thanks!

The roles you mention are just possible roles and could vary.
The survey is performed 6 to 18 months after occupancy. So sometimes the contractor is gone by then and I have never heard of someone not closing out a project because of this. Typically the owner is responsible for implementing the survey. Requiring the contractor to do so is probably very rare for some of the reasons you cite.
Corrective actions could be implemented by many parties depending on the nature of the corrective action. A simple change in controls could be undertaken by the owner for example.
