Louisiana Revised Statutes Tit. 39, § 1612. Cost-reimbursement contracts

A. Determination required prior to use. No cost-reimbursement prime contract may be made unless it is determined in writing in accordance with regulations that such contract is likely to be less costly to the state than any other type of contract or that it is impracticable to obtain supplies, services, or major repairs of the kind or quality required except under such a contract.

B. Reimbursement of costs. All cost-reimbursement contracts shall contain a provision that only costs recognized as allowable in accordance with cost principles set forth in regulations will be reimbursable.

C. Prior notice requirement concerning use of cost-reimbursement type subcontract. Each contractor under a cost-reimbursement type contract shall give notice, as provided for in the contract, before entering into (1) a cost-reimbursement type subcontract or (2) any other type of subcontract involving more than ten thousand dollars or ten percent of the estimated cost of the prime contract.
