About this file

Attachment E is a Drug Free Workplace Certification document for the School District of Manatee County's Request for Qualifications (RFQ) on External Audit Services, specifically solicitation number 25-0078-RG. The certification requires a contractor to establish and maintain a comprehensive drug-free workplace program that includes six key requirements: publishing a statement prohibiting controlled substance activities in the workplace, informing employees about drug abuse dangers and workplace policies, distributing the policy statement to employees involved in the contract, notifying employees of mandatory reporting of drug convictions, imposing sanctions or rehabilitation requirements for convicted employees, and making a good faith effort to continuously maintain a drug-free workplace.

This document is a standard compliance form that prospective external audit service providers must complete and sign as part of their qualification submission. By signing, the contractor's authorized official certifies full compliance with all specified drug-free workplace program requirements, which are designed to ensure a safe and productive work environment. The certification is part of the broader RFQ process for selecting an independent certified public accounting firm to provide external auditing services for the Manatee County School District in Florida.
