November 17, 2020

As of 8 a.m. today, the Department of Public Health and Social Services (DPHSS) has approved a total of 126 contractors for clearance to resume operations. DPHSS continues to receive requests for clearance and will move as quickly as possible to review all applications for clearance it receives.

DPHSS issued a Directive suspending all construction projects on Guam effective close of business Saturday, November 14, 2020, until further notice from DPHSS. This was due to the finding of significant clusters of COVID-19 positive cases among the employees of local construction companies.

Construction companies and contractors requesting for clearance must fill out the DPHSS Contractor Clearance Checklist and Attachment A.  Subcontractors to Black Construction Corporation and Core Tech International are listed in Attachment B. The required forms referenced are available for download at https://dphss.guam.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Contractor-Clearance-Form-FINAL.pdf.

All forms must be submitted via email to dphss-deh@dphss.guam.gov.
