3-McLean County-Drug Free Workplace Certification (1).pdf

This is a Drug-Free Workplace Certification document required by McLean County Fiscal Court for bidders responding to an appraisal services contract opportunity. The certification confirms that the responding firm has implemented comprehensive drug-free workplace policies, including publishing statements prohibiting unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substances in the workplace; informing employees about drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs; distributing drug-free workplace statements to all employees engaged in the proposed services; and notifying employees that compliance with the drug-free workplace policy is a condition of employment on the contract. The certification further requires firms to impose sanctions or require participation in drug abuse rehabilitation programs for employees convicted of controlled substance violations and to make good faith efforts to maintain a drug-free workplace throughout the contract period.

This certification document is a mandatory compliance requirement for the McLean County Fiscal Court procurement of Certified Residential Real Estate Land Appraiser(s) to provide appraisal services for approximately 20 residential properties in support of Floodplain Acquisition Projects in Kentucky. All responding firms must submit a completed Drug-Free Workplace Affidavit as part of their bid package, alongside other required documentation including Certification Regarding Lobbying and Non-Collusion Declarations. The requirement applies to all employees engaged in providing the commodities or contractual services under bid, with employees required to notify their employer of any conviction or guilty plea related to controlled substance violations occurring in the workplace within five business days of such conviction. Failure to implement and maintain drug-free workplace policies as outlined may result in bid disqualification or contract termination.
