1-Drug-Free Workplace Affidavit - Buyout (2).pdf

This is a Drug-Free Workplace Affidavit required for a state and local contract opportunity. The document outlines mandatory requirements that responding firms must certify they have implemented to maintain a drug-free workplace. The affidavit requires firms to publish a workplace statement prohibiting the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substances and specify disciplinary actions for violations. Firms must inform all employees about the dangers of drug abuse, the company's drug-free workplace policy, available counseling and rehabilitation programs, and penalties for violations. Each employee involved in providing the commodities or contractual services under the bid must receive a copy of the drug-free workplace statement. The statement must explicitly condition employment on the contract work upon employee compliance with the policy terms and require employees to notify their employer within five days of any conviction or guilty plea related to controlled substance violations occurring in the workplace.

Responding firms must impose sanctions on or require satisfactory participation in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program for any employee convicted of a drug violation, provided such programs are available in the employee's community. The affidavit certifies that the firm commits to making a good faith effort to continue maintaining a drug-free workplace through ongoing implementation of these requirements. This affidavit represents a compliance certification rather than a pricing or service specification document and must be submitted as part of the bid response.
