About this file

This document is a Certification of a Drug-Free Workplace form based on Section 287.087 of the Florida Statutes, applicable to state and political subdivision procurement processes. The form outlines specific requirements for businesses seeking preference in bid awards when multiple proposals are equally competitive in price, quality, and service.

The certification requires businesses to establish and maintain a comprehensive drug-free workplace program, which includes publishing employee statements prohibiting controlled substance activities, informing employees about drug abuse dangers and workplace policies, providing drug counseling resources, and implementing specific notification and sanction procedures for drug-related workplace violations. Businesses must require employees to notify the employer within five days of any drug-related convictions and be prepared to impose sanctions or require rehabilitation participation for employees convicted of drug offenses. By signing the form, a business's authorized representative certifies full compliance with these requirements, understanding that false statements are legally punishable.

CERTIFICATION OF A DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE

Section 287.087 of the Florida Statutes provides that, whenever two or more bids, proposals, or replies that are equal with respect to price, quality, and service are received by the state or by any political subdivision for the procurement of commodities or contractual services, a bid, proposal, 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. 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, 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 Chapter 893 or of any controlled substance law of the United States or any State, for a violation occurring in the workplace no 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.

Please sign below and return this form to certify that your business has a drug-free workplace program.
