the team as the Director of Operations, after having left PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as a Division Manager.
The LMS Team has been involved in major projects like the Tumon Bay Beautification Project and ground maintenance on Andersen Air Force Base. They also have a twenty five-acre nursery, which helps them with the U.S. Air Force’s restoration project at Ritidian Point. And on November 15, 2014, they were awarded a ground maintenance and tree trimming contract with the Command Joint Region Marianas Naval Base. The Federal Contract’s large scope of work includes mowing/trimming, leaning branches, power line control, fence line maintenance, tree trimming and removal, irrigation, and clearing; and covers a wide expanse of extremely diverse terrain extending their area of work outside of Guam to islands such as Tinian.
“We are registered as a HUBZone small business with the SBA and take pride in serving the needs of clients in the public, private and residential sectors,” says Rob Salas. He continues, “A strong commitment to the highest ethical standards and business practices has been a hallmark of LMS, and continues to represent the core of our business. LMS undertakes each project with a focus on delivering the highest quality service and products possible.”
“The leadership behind LMS’ success,” says Rob Salas, “is a huge part of the company’s growth.” Bob Salas’ industry knowledge from both the public and private sectors allowed for him to make LMS what it is today – a landscaping powerhouse. With development, construction management, real estate, and surveyor experience, Salas has been able to build an impressive resume and rolodex of clients with LMS. He has worked with big developers on Guam like, Sumitomo Construction Co., and Kumangaigumi Construction Co.
Salas is also one of the parties responsible for a household name for golf, luxury, and tourism – the Leo Palace Resort Guam in Manenggon Hills, Mangilao Golf Course, Fish Eye Park in Piti, and the Cocos Island Resort.
LMS’ touch can be seen throughout our community. The Westin Resort Guam, the Living Wall at St. Leo Chapel at the Westin, the golf course at Leo Palace, Hilton Guam Resort and
Safety is defined as “the condition of being protected from or unlikely to cause danger, risk, or injury.” There are many places we should feel safe: our homes, school, the office, and in most public places. For contractors, as we all know, safety is key. It’s what gets the job done. It’s what keeps us getting jobs. It’s what provides us with a certainty that we and our loved ones are taken care of.
Sometimes safety can be a passing idea for people who don’t work in the industry. The idea of safety plans and safety training aren’t necessarily a part of the vernacular. But, wherever you go, whomever had a hand in its construction or development, more than likely had the best training and knowledge to ensure optimal preventive measures and safety plans are in place.
The Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. created the National Safety Excellence Award (NSEA) in 1992 by the National Environment, Health & Safety Committee. It is a recognition tool in the industry. As safety is a core value in the construction industry, the award doesn’t just look at safety in performance for builders and contractors, but also the very structure of their safety programs. These are builders and contractors who excelled in construction safety and training. It is a rigorous application and judging process.
The award assesses safety performance, but places much emphasis on the company’s leadership’s role in promoting safety and its commitment to exemplary standards. Organizations receiving this award usually have demonstrated greater lengths to promote and enforce greater safety standards within their staff for better client satisfaction. Only the best safety programs are recognized; they are the ‘cat’s meow’ as determined by the ABC.
One of Guam’s premier landscaping companies, LMS Guam was recently awarded the NSEA by the ABC. For 22 years, Robert Salas and his team have provided landscaping services to residents and businesses throughout the island, including ground maintenance, design and construction of irrigation systems, landscape installation, maintenance, and renovation, installation of ponds, pools, pumps, and drainage systems, and pesticide/herbicide applications by licensed team members. In 2015, Rob Salas, Robert Salas’s son, joined

Spa, Talo Verde, and Ironwood Estates.
These projects and many more in the LMS resume would not have been possible without a clear vision to provide the best service for their customers. Businesses, residents, and tourism professionals have called on LMS for their expertise and impeccable record to ensure not only an aesthetic, but also a safe environment.
A safe environment starts with having open communication between clients, the safety and quality control teams, and management. LMS has a system in place with a safety messaging group. It is there to address safety issues immediately and to control any escalation, if any. Rob Salas says, “We believe that there isn’t a particular instance that exemplifies safety in the workplace. Rather, it is a culture of safety that pervades every decision we make and every action we take.” Aside from Salas, the safety program at LMS is led by Joseph Cruz, Site Safety and Health Officer. With over 15 years of experience in safety and five years in the military, Cruz brings a unique culture of safety and holds their employees to a high standard. Additionally, Ruben Montalvo, Quality Control Manger, as well as Dan Hualde and Ben Lukas as Quality Control Inspectors, join him along with Tui Lolohea, one of their Project Managers.
One of the criteria for the NSEA is a company’s “commitment to safety, a culture of safety that is embraced and espoused by all company employees, and systems/process in place that eliminate hazards before incidents occur, resulting in a world-class safety program,” according to the ABC website. But, more than that, “The award symbolizes a company’s achievement and success in safety,” including arduous safety programs, leadership commitment, and safety culture.
As for what the award means for LMS Rob Salas said “The award represents the progress we have achieved with respect to our continued emphasis on a safety culture. The award serves as a benchmark for us and reminds us to continually seek to improve ourselves and to strive for progress.”
The Associated Builders and Contractors, Inc. definitely saw LMS’ hard work, determination, and commitment to safety. Noting their merit-based national Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP) award in 2010, 2012, 2013, and the recently achieved Platinum status in 2015. They also have a zero DART
rate for 2015 as our company had no incidents involving days away from work, days of restricted work activity or job transfers last year. They are listed among 21 award recipients from throughout the nation who received their awards in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida this last March 2, 2016 at the Excellence in Construction Banquet. It’s important to note that LMS won this award among 1,200 other applicants and throughout the nation. The NSEA is only one of three awards given to eligible applicants. The others are the National Safety Merit Award and National Safety Pinnacle Award.
What gives any construction business their value? Is it word of mouth? Is it a litany of high-profile clientele? Is it a “can’t get it out of my head” catchy marketing jingle? Is it a flawless safety record? Is it trust? Maybe it’s all of the above. Whether you’re dealing with multi-story condominiums, providing contract work for a government agency, or providing landscape maintenance, we all know safety is always paramount. It is after all more important than convenience. LMS receiving this award demonstrates Guam’s capabilities on another level.
“We believe that there isn’t a particular instance that exemplifies safety in the workplace. Rather, it is a culture of safety that pervades every decision we make and every action we take.,” says Salas. A decision that shows an entire company’s willingness, determination, and commitment to invest in itself, its employees, and holds safety supreme and something to continually strive for and build upon.

For Immediate Release
Landscape Management Systems, Inc.Earns National Safety Award from Associated
Builders and ContractorsTumon, Guam, March 2, 2016 – LMS has been named the winner of a National Safety Excellence Award from Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC). Based in Guam, LMS received the award March 2 during the 26th annual Excellence in Construction® Awards in Fort Lauderdale, Fla.
“LMS’ safety record demonstrates how a company-wide commitment to safety as a core value can deliver world-class results,” said 2016 ABC National Chair David Chapin, president of Willmar Electric Service, Lincoln, Neb. “LMS’ safety record shows that in a culture that emphasizes safety and caring for its people, every incident is preventable and we can help drive the construction industry toward zero-incident jobsites. Our ultimate goal is that every employee returns home in the same--or better--condition in which they arrived.”
The 2015 National Safety Excellence Award winners were selected from ABC member firms that achieved Diamond, Platinum and Gold status in ABC's Safety Training Evaluation Process (STEP). During the selection process, national safety winners were judged on self-evaluation scores, lost workday case rates, total recordable rates, leading indicator use, process and program innovations and video interviews conducted by members of ABC’s National Environment, Health & Safety Committee.
The National Safety Awards are presented in three major North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code categories: NAICS 236 – Construction of Buildings; NAICS 237 – Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction; and NAICS 238 – Specialty Trade Contractors.

he Block Kids Building Competition is a national event brought to Guam by the NAWIC Guam Chapter. The competition is meant to introduce children to the construction industry,
to create an awareness of, and to promote interest in future careers in one of the many facets of the industry. This activity introduces the participants to creative thinking and reasoning that is used every day in the construction trade.
On June 13th, approximately 90 students from private, public and home schools were strategizing, designing, and building construction-related models that are relevant to Guam’s environment in the Multipurpose Auditorium at the Guam Community College. Each student received 75 stackable blocks, a piece of string, one flat rock, and a square piece of foil. They had a 45-minute time limit to free their imaginations and allow their hands to build.
After the allotted building time, judges from the architectural, engineering, construction, and education industry interviewed their assigned students to discuss their designs. They scored students based on originality, attention to detail, use of provided materials, oral presentation, enthusiasm, reason for participation, and design elements.
The student designs included various types of buildings, bridges, and construction equip-ment such as cranes. John Moore, a second grade from Bishop
Baumgartner Elementary School, constructed a building at first. After reconsidering his project, during the allotted time, he disassembled the structure and added a wrecking ball to mimic construction demoli-tion. Impressed by his design and creativity, Judge Ginny Caceres said, "Unlike other students who were building something to stay standing, John Moore created something outside the box."
Lyam Girdwood Schlacter, a fifth-grade homeschool student, built a sustainable dream home complete with solar energy panels. His creation received high remarks for his enthusiasm, attention to details, and design elements which included electrical and mechanical.
All students deserve recognition for their eagerness and great ideas. However, only a selected few were given an award. NAWIC Guam recognized the students who received the highest score for each grade level as category winners. The following students received this honor:
• First Grade Category Winner:Maxwell Smith, Wettengel Elementary School• Second Grade Category Winner:John Moore, Bishop Baumgartner Elementary School• Third Grade Category Winner:Astumbo Elementary School• Fourth Grade Category Winner:Joannes Paulus Reyes, Homeschool• Fifth Grade Category Winner:Lyam Girdwood Schlacter, Homeschool
Lyam Girdwood Schlacter won the “Overall Category” for receiving the highest score. His design will move on to NAWIC’s regional competition. If his creation succeeds in the semifinal, his project will then advance to the National competition.
Each winner received a plaque and a set of Lego Architecture depicting an iconic
by Shierly Caceres
structure from Europe, the Middle East, Asia or United States. The Lego Architecture further reinforces NAWIC’s mission to encourage and further the winner's interests in building structures.
According to Jessica Barrett, president of NAWIC Guam, "The choice of Lego Architec-ture as a prize is to advance the winners' interests in the form and function of famous landmarks in the world, in a fun way."Block Kids is an excellent opportunity for Guam students to expand their exposure to the world of construction; at the same time, giving them the chance to be creative and hands-on.
Thank you to our 2016 Block Kids Judges NAWIC Guam would like to take this opportu-nity to thank all the judges and their compa-nies who volunteered their time and patiently listened to our student participants.
