The 15% labor hour goal is described as the LEAP Utilization Goal (LUG). A mandatory sub goal requires the prime contractor to ensure that 25% of the LUG is performed by residents of the City of Tacoma’s Renewal Community and/or City designated “Target Area”. Compliance may be met through any combination of utilizing residents of Tacoma or SAC apprentices. The accompanying LEAP Regulations, forms, maps and street addresses are included in these specifications.

*Exceptions: If the project is located within the Tacoma Power Hydro Project Areas, then 25% of the LUG may be satisfied by a Resident of the Tacoma Power Hydro Project Areas. If the project is located within the Tacoma Water Green River Headworks or Watershed Area, then 25% of the LUG may be satisfied by a Resident of the Duwamish and White River Community Empowerment Zone (CEZ) or by a King County Apprentice.
