DECLARATION AND ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The “Class A - General Engineering Contractor” license is issued under the authority of the Contractors
Licensing Board (“CLB”) in accordance with Chapter 70 (Contractors) of Title 21 (Real Property) of the
Guam Code Annotated (21 GCA §§ 70101, et seq.). The intent of the law establishing the categories or
classes of dierent licenses issued by the CLB was to dierentiate the types of construction for which
contraetors may qualify. The words “General Engineering” as used in the Class A license issued by the
CLB, are intended to denote that type of construction commonly referred to as “horizontal construction,”
and are not intended to authorize any engineering activity which is licensed and regulated by the Guam
Board of Registration for Professional Engineers, Architects and Land Surveyors (PEALS Board).
The PEALS Board maintains strict rules regarding the use of the term “Engineering” and the practice of
oering “engineering services.” Unless a person or company is licensed and registered with the PEALS
Board, oering or advertising engineering services or general engineering is a violation of the law. This
includes, without limitation, use of these words on business cards, newspaper or magazine articles and
advertisements, and phone listings. Specically, 22 GCA § 32102 states (emphasis added):
