About this file
This is a Drug-Free Workplace Certification document required for the Martin Luther King Jr Drainage Improvements project in Florida. The certification is mandated under Section 287.087 of the Florida Statutes and applies to contractors bidding on this drainage infrastructure project. The project involves labor, materials, equipment, supplies, and services necessary for constructing stormwater management improvements along MLK Jr Boulevard, including new stormwater curb inlets, an 18-inch reinforced concrete pipe outfall, and reconstruction of the northbound lane and curb-and-gutter system between the Barbourville and Young Street intersections. The certification requirement applies to all businesses submitting bids, proposals, or replies for this work.
To satisfy the drug-free workplace certification requirement, contractors must publish a statement prohibiting unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substances in the workplace; inform employees about drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs; provide employees a copy of the policy; require employees to notify the employer of any controlled substance-related convictions within five days; impose sanctions or require participation in rehabilitation programs for violations; and maintain good faith compliance efforts throughout the contract term. The certification document must be signed by an authorized representative of the respondent firm and submitted with the bid proposal. This certification provides preference in the award process when bids are otherwise equal in price, quality, and service.

CERTIFICATION OF A DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE
Section 287.087 of the Florida Statutes provides that, whenever two or more bids, proposals, or replies that are equal with respect to price, quality, and service are received by the state or by any political subdivision for the procurement of commodities or contractual services, a bid, proposal, or reply received from a business that certifies that it has implemented a drug-free workplace program shall be given preference in the award process. In order to have a drug-free workplace program, a business shall:
1) Publish a statement notifying employees that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in the workplace and specifying the actions that will be taken against employees for violations of such prohibition.
2) Inform employees about the dangers of drug abuse in the workplace, the business's policy of maintaining a drug-free workplace, any available drug counseling, rehabilitation and employee assistance programs and the penalties that may be imposed upon employees for drug abuse violations.
3) Give each employee engaged in providing the commodities or contractual services that are under Bid a copy of the statement specified in Subsection (1).
4) In the statement specified in Subsection (1), notify the employees, as a condition of working on the commodities or contractual services that are under Bid, the employee will abide by the terms of the statement and will notify the employer of any conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to, any violation of Chapter 893 or of any controlled substance law of the United States or any State, for a violation occurring in the workplace no later than five (5) days after such conviction.
5) Impose a sanction on, or require the satisfactory participation in a drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation program if such is available in the employee's community by any employee who is so convicted.
6) Make a good faith effort to continue to maintain a drug-free workplace through implementation of this section.
