About this file
This is a Drug Free Workplace Program requirement document applicable to construction contractors and service providers engaged in state and local contracts within Florida. The document outlines mandatory compliance standards for businesses contracting with the State of Florida for work on educational facilities, public property, publicly owned buildings, and state correctional facilities under Chapters 255, 944, and 1013 of the Florida Statutes.
Contractors must implement a comprehensive drug-free workplace program that includes publishing a statement prohibiting unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substances in the workplace; informing employees about the dangers of drug abuse and available counseling and rehabilitation programs; providing all employees engaged in the work a copy of the policy statement; requiring employees to notify the employer within five days of any conviction or guilty plea related to controlled substance violations; and imposing sanctions or requiring participation in drug abuse assistance programs for violating employees. The contractor must make a good faith effort to maintain continued compliance with these requirements. Per Section 287.087 of the Florida Statutes, preference in contract award is given to businesses with certified drug-free workplace programs, with tied bids being resolved in favor of compliant vendors. An authorized representative must certify full compliance with all requirements by signature and date.

SECTION 00303
DRUG FREE WORKPLACE PROGRAM
Each construction contractor regulated under Part I of Chapter 489, F.S., and each electrical contractor and alarm system contractor regulated under Part II of Chapter 489, F.S., who contracts to perform construction work under a state contract for educational facilities governed by Chapter 1013, for public property or publicly owned buildings governed by Chapter 255, or for state correctional facilities governed by Chapter 944 shall implement a drug-free workplace program as described in Chapter 440, Florida Statutes.
In accordance with Section 287.087, Florida State Statutes, preference shall be given to businesses with drug-free workplace programs. Whenever two or more Bids or replies are received by the City that are equal with respect to price, quality, and service for the procurement of commodities or contractual services, a Bid 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. Established procedures for processing tie Bids will be followed if none of the tied vendors have a drug-free workplace program. 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 that, 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 Florida Statute, Chapter 893 or of any controlled substance law of the United States or any state, for a violation occurring in the workplace, not 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.
As the person authorized to sign such statement, I certify that the firm complies fully with the above requirements and indicate the program was implemented.
