About this file
This is a Drug-Free Workplace Certification form required by the State of Florida for the Claim Field Investigative Services Request for Proposals (RFP-111-25-KM). The certification is mandated under Section 287.087 of the Florida Statutes and applies to any business submitting a proposal to provide field investigative and adjusting services for the City, including liability claims investigation, reporting, and processing. The resultant contract will have a 5-year base period. Firms must certify compliance with Florida's drug-free workplace requirements to be eligible for award consideration, particularly when bids are equal in price, quality, and service.
To obtain drug-free workplace certification, businesses 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 associated penalties; provide each employee with a copy of the policy; require employees to notify the employer of any drug-related convictions within five days; impose sanctions or require participation in rehabilitation programs for violations; and maintain good faith efforts to sustain the program. The authorized representative of the responding firm must sign and return this certification form, with false statements subject to legal penalties. This certification is a prerequisite for proposal submission and evaluation in the competitive procurement process.

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.
