About this file
This file is a Drug Free Workplace Program requirement document issued by the City of Palm Bay, Florida, for contractors performing construction work on public property and publicly owned buildings. The document outlines mandatory compliance standards for construction contractors regulated under Florida Statutes Chapter 489, electrical contractors, and alarm system contractors bidding on state and local contracts. The program requirements apply to work performed on educational facilities, public property, publicly owned buildings, and state correctional facilities. There are no specific response dates, due dates, site visits, bidder meetings, or award dates referenced in this document, as it serves as a contractual compliance requirement rather than a solicitation notice.
The Drug Free Workplace Program establishes conditions that bidders must meet to receive preference in award decisions when bids are equal in price, quality, and service. Contractors must publish workplace drug prohibition statements to employees, inform workers of drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs, distribute copies of the policy to all employees engaged in the contracted work, require employee notification of drug-related convictions within five days, and impose sanctions or require participation in rehabilitation programs for violating employees. The document requires an authorized representative to certify full compliance with all requirements through a signed statement. There are no pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent information, or funding amounts specified in this compliance document.

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.
