About this file

This is a Drug Free Workplace Program document outlining requirements for construction contractors in Florida bidding on state and local contracts, specifically the Ball Field Lighting project. The document specifies that all construction contractors regulated under Florida Statutes Chapter 489, Part I, and electrical contractors and alarm system contractors regulated under Chapter 489, Part II, must implement a drug-free workplace program compliant with Chapter 440, Florida Statutes when contracting for work on educational facilities, public property, publicly owned buildings, or state correctional facilities. The program requirements are mandatory for contractors seeking to bid on this project.

To maintain a compliant drug-free workplace program, contractors must publish a statement prohibiting unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substances in the workplace; inform employees of drug abuse dangers and available counseling or rehabilitation programs; provide each employee with a copy of the prohibition statement; require employees to notify the employer of any drug-related convictions within five days; impose sanctions or require participation in drug rehabilitation programs for violations; and make good faith efforts to maintain the drug-free workplace. Contractors with an established drug-free workplace program receive preference in the award process when bids are equal in price, quality, and service. An authorized company 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.
