This is a Drug-Free Workplace Certification form required by the State of Florida under Section 287.087 of the Florida Statutes for the Pump Station 92 Replacement project. The certification applies to all bidders responding to this construction contract for the City of Tallahassee. A mandatory pre-bid meeting is scheduled for March 16, 2026 at 2:00 PM EST via Microsoft Teams. The project involves construction of a new quadruplex submersible pump station to replace the existing Pump Station 92 located at 6636 Buck Lake Road, including deep foundations, stormwater retention, sanitary sewer piping, force main piping, electrical and water service, generator installation, demolition of the existing station, and all associated site work such as sheeting, shoring, dewatering, and production of as-built drawings.
To qualify for consideration, each bidding firm must certify that it has implemented a comprehensive drug-free workplace program that includes publishing a statement prohibiting controlled substance use in the workplace, informing employees of drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs, distributing the policy to all employees engaged in contract work, requiring employees to report drug-related convictions within five days, and imposing sanctions or requiring participation in rehabilitation programs for violators. The form must be signed by an authorized representative of the respondent firm and returned to the contracting agency. False statements on the certification are punishable under Florida law.

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.
