“When I complained about the sunlight fading the wood on our steps through our large picture window, Kin suggested I call Island Tinting to see what they could do. Tom and his crew came out to the house and in just over an hour, they applied this clear film. He made me stand on the side where they had applied the film and then on the side with no film. The heat difference was amazing. The best part about it is that our power bill has gone down $70 a month because of this film!�

did you know?

The GCA Small Business Committee has A Few Good Men and Women who really want to help you succeed.

That said, the following are some random points to think about. If there is something that you would like some help with or just want more information/clarification, please join us at our next Small Business Committee Meeting tentatively scheduled for 30 Jan 2018.

Common Problems SB face

Access to capital - One of the biggest challenges for small business owners and entrepreneurs is the inability to access capital. While many business owners identify this as a problem, many don’t apply for bank loans for fear of rejection.

Competition for government contracts – Competition for contracts in the government arena will never get easier. As the military buildup on Guam picks up momentum, competition will only increase.

Getting paid on time – this applies to all contractors (primes and subs).

Finding the right people – a continuing challenge for many businesses is getting (and keeping) qualified and motivated personnel. The current H2B Visa issue only exacerbates the problem.

Affording to market your business – you may have the greatest product or service on the island, but the general public won’t know about you without some marketing/networking. Unfortunately there is a cost. Even the “free” events cost you time away from running/operating the business.

Common Mistakes in Proposal Writing

Compliance with the RFP or RFQ - Not providing key documents (safety record, legally binding teaming agreement, etc.) or addressing an evaluation element (technical or safety approach) may render your proposal non-responsive or technically unacceptable.

Last Minute Submissions - There are many reasons why proposals are turned in at the last minute.

A lot has to do with running the business first. It’s a matter of priorities. Business operations tend to detract from focusing and preparing a sound proposal. Add to that is a natural tendency to procrastinate. That 30-day period to respond to a solicitation quickly becomes a 2-3 day rush to “finalize” and package the proposal.

Unfortunately, “last minute” preparations often lead to: Boilerplate Proposals – Taking a similar proposal and tweaking it to fit current solicitation requirements might be a faster way to develop a proposal. But, sometimes “cut and paste” jobs are very obvious to Evaluation Teams and can impact the overall evaluation.

Mathematical, Grammar and Punctuation Mistakes - Can make the difference between winning and losing a contract. These mistakes happen easily in the rush to complete a proposal in time or insert last-minute changes to the proposal. Proofreading your work is essential.

The Apprenticeship Incentive By: R.D. Gibson

CONSTRUCTION NEWS BULLETIN

This is a grainy recollection of The Sorcerer’s Apprentice from 2010 - the Disney movie about a descendent of the wizard Merlin. Don’t worry. There are no spoilers. It was probably one of the last times we saw Nicolas Cage in a semi-decent role to be quite honest.

The movie was fashioned after a portion of Disney’s Fantasia where we see Mickey Mouse wreck a Sorcerer’s workshop. But, instead we get a modern-day, Manhattan-esque undertaking of this classic story. Through the story, we see the same mishaps in live-action form – a pessimistic ‘teacher’ taking on a questionable candidate to conquer evil. The rising action builds to the mess-ups of all mess-ups. But, can we really blame the kid? Seriously.

He was using his resources. After all, he was only an apprentice.

Not saying that all mess-ups ensue. Not every apprentice’s story is the same, but of course it is rewarding. In comparison though, the real world is a lot different, and our industry doesn’t just deal with mops and cleaning supplies under magic spells.

If you Google the term ‘apprentice’, you get a gratuitous nod to our current President’s hit TV show. But, we understand that apprenticeships are programs in which people learn trades from employers. They are novices who begin to learn the ropes of their respective industries.

A few weeks ago, there was an engaging, exciting discussion in a forum regarding the growth and implementation of apprenticeship programs in Guam. AnnMarie Pelobello, the Apprenticeship, Safety, Education & Training Administrator with the Guam Contractors Association, spoke about how apprenticeship programs are changing nowadays.

“The nature of the workforce is changing for the better,” she stated. “The apprentice program will continue to add more skilled professionals into our local workforce – employers must continue to consider to plan for the future,” she emphasized. She pointed to various high-interest programs for HVAC, electrical, and carpentry trades. Further, Pelobello recognizes 11 U.S. Department of Labor Certificates of Completion of Apprenticeship (Journeyman Certifcations) being issued. These apprentices took night classes, and logged their on-the-job-training hours – just another successful program in the books!

With this, there seems to be a desire on both sides of the spectrum. At this point, it is a matter of working Like Us On Facebook

with the GCA to implement a program within their respective business to help in not just growing their employees, but the business and its services.

“The business can create and implement their own apprenticeship program and train in-house,” Pelobello said. “There is a process and [it] would need to be submitted by Guam DOL for review and approval,” she finished.

Former Senator and director of the Department of Labor, Sam Mabini said registered apprenticeship programs are important tools for employers for workforce development and overall success. “[Registered Apprenticeship] is important because it has proven to be the effective method to train-up employees,” said Mabini. She added how the benefits have manifest in companies in which there have been successful implementation and execution. But, more than that, implementation of such programs invigorates and builds “loyalty and retention of employees” according to Mabini.

That is one of the effects the industry should be looking toward. Creating an exciting and dynamic industry that keeps employees. Even as we have recently seen the Defense bill passed that allows 4,000 H2-B workers, it is imperative we build a local workforce that can benefit our community as a whole. Mabini said apprenticeship programs have, “and will [augment the workforce] provided that employers commit to the program.” Adding that programs bring in new skilled workers industry people are looking to hire.

When we look at apprenticeship programs, it’s important that companies invest in skilled workers who might or might not have the slightest clue of what to do. Programs need to be conducted correctly, but if done so, companies see the benefits of skilled workers and possibly improved output. This can lead to expanded career opportunities.

“I believe [the forum] was successful for those new to Registered Apprenticeship,” said Mabini because of the information and learning experiences shared throughout.

Don Cruz of Docomo Pacific said, “[The forum] was a great success!” He echoed what Pelobello and Mabini said previously with the importance of how apprenticeship programs help a business’ ecosystem. “A successful apprenticeship program is also necessary in our location as our talent pool

is smaller,” mentioned Cruz. He pointed to Docomo’s Customer Service Representative Apprenticeship program where their enrollment is high, and where participants have seen tremendous growth and have taken higher positions in the company – “an indicator that what they’re learning is being reflected with their performance.”

Moreover, he said that apprenticeship programs have been a positive learning experience.

In the face of payment obstacles, Docomo has implemented a “totally free” program for their associates. In effect, “the commitment is further cemented and reinforced by on the job training provided by journey workers,” said Cruz. It has also provided a tax credit benefit for the company as a whole. “The tax credits from the Apprenticeship program has provided for a tangible benefit for the company that allows us to continue the support for the program.

goal: “to keep our associates in the company for a very long time.” He added, “The apprenticeship program creates a talent pool that any company can pick from and gain a fully capable talent who can hit the ground running.”

Like Merlin’s magic and the story of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Registered Apprenticeship programs have been around for years. But to continue the amazing, dynamic work that has been already accomplished, it is important to get more businesses on board. “The State Apprenticeship Director looks forward to continuing more outreach events like the registered apprenticeship forum,” Mabini mentioned. This includes reaching out to more businesses to discuss and share the benefits of these programs. “The goal is to have the qualified skilled workers needed by our businesses, and to adopt an ethic of investing in employees through training and development.”

Pelobello spoke of the benefits for both apprentice and employers. Those who participate in these programs have the opportunity to “earn as they learn” while employers get a break on GRT. But, at the end of it, there is a skilled employee who can help foster more growth and development within the company with their skillset. Cruz added that apprenticeship programs add to an ultimate

Exploring

the Opportunities

CONSTRUCTION NEWS BULLETIN

Much excitement percolated at the 7th Annual Guam Contractors Association(GCA) and National Association of Women In Construction(NAWIC) Pizza, Pop, and Power Tools Event, held at the GCA Trades Academy, in Barrigada, on a Saturday, October 28th.

At the GCA event there was an enthusiastic gathering of wide-eyed, horizon-searching young ladies in their pre-to-early teens readying their hearts and minds to the prospects of considering a career path in the construction sector. With around 60 young women of middle school and high school ages, there was plenty of vitality present at the Pizza, Pop, and Power Tools Event.

According to the NAWIC Guam Chapter President, Ann Marie Pelobello, “The Pizza, Pop, and Power Tools Event, begins with a safety briefing,” mimicking an actual construction work site. As she explains, the idea is to give the young people a sense of the construction environment; realizing that many of them have never been exposed to construction and trades activity, nor have they held hand or power tools. Those particular activities, on that day, were allowed to be experienced by these youngsters; along with getting exposed to backhoe and bucket trucks, and other equipment operation—of course, in a fixed position, since the majority of the attendees were still not legally licensed yet.”

As well, there were women in construction mentoring to these young ones. Pelobello, herself, is a safety business owner/operator of OSH Solutions Guam with several years of experience and operations here on island.

Juanita Blaz, Island Girl Power-Program Director, offered her take on the Pizza, Pop, and Power Tools, event. “Girls, primarily, from our Northern Island Girl Power-Dededo location, participated this year.

We’ve been involved from the very beginning. And, we think it’s a wonderful way to show the girls the possibilities. This program goes a long way to improve self-esteem and self-confidence. In that respect, it’s very important to the girls.”

Revealing her practical ethic, “We believe, the more we do activities like this one, the more we increase the possibilities that our young women will find their way into construction, and construction-related fields. Also, every young lady needs to know a little more about general trades, just to be able to do some electricity or plumbing; to accomplish those things around their own homes.”

According to Blaz, “We feel that when you get people to use their hands to fix or create something, you greatly increase their confidence. It’s very empowering.”

Another perennial sponsor, Guam Girls Scouts, also put forth their feedback through Melissa Lamorena Fernandez, Executive Director for the local scouting organization. “We’ve been a long-time sponsor, and have always had our girls as participants in this annual event. This year we had 12 girls scouts attending. Our mission is that our girls be prepared for the world, and we want to provide them with new experiences to help accomplish that goal; and, expose them to areas like construction, which have been mainly male-driven occupations, but may now be available to them.”

Further to the philosophical aspect of Pizza, Pop, and Power Tools, she commented on the hands-on experience, “They can say they’ve been on a bucket truck, operated a backhoe, or they know how to tile...all of which they may not be able to use now, but possibly in the future. However, it’s not just about these particular skills, other construction areas require advanced degrees, and it’s important for our girls to realize many other kinds of fields are in the construction industry.”

Fernandez also expressed her gratitude, “We are appreciative to the GCA and the other sponsors of this event, for other similiar opportunities that allow our girls to explore their options. These programs are very helpful for young women.”
