Louisiana Passed the Nation’s First Pay for Success Environmental Restoration Law

Louisiana passed the nation’s first Pay for Success environmental restoration law but has struggled to let go of old contracting approaches and recognize the ways they are getting long-term cost savings from the applications the Coastal Restoration and Protection Authority is receiving. We provided recommendations to the Chairman, Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority, for how they could look at the lessons learned from this contracting step and immediately restarts use of results-based contracting, using a slightly amended solicitation for bids that allows work to get started in 2020.
