About this file

This is a Substance Abuse Testing Certification document required by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) under 49 CFR Part 655 for Broward County Transportation Department's ChargePoint DC Chargers Repair and Maintenance Service contract. The certification applies to contractors and subcontractors performing safety-sensitive functions, which include operating revenue and non-revenue service vehicles, controlling dispatch or movement of vehicles, maintaining revenue service vehicles and equipment, and carrying firearms for security purposes. Contractors must establish and implement a substance abuse program complying with FTA regulations for the prevention of alcohol misuse and prohibited drug use in transit operations. The certification requires contractors to produce documentation establishing compliance, permit inspections of facilities and records by authorized representatives of the County, U.S. DOT, or the Florida Department of Transportation, and participate in reviews of the testing process.

Contractors must certify their annual compliance with 49 CFR Part 655 before March 15 and submit Management Information System (MIS) reports no later than February 15 to the County. All subcontractors at every tier are required to certify compliance with the same regulations. The certification must be signed by an authorized official of the contractor and includes a commitment to maintain ongoing compliance with federal substance abuse testing requirements. This certification serves as a condition for participation in FTA-funded projects and ensures that all parties involved in safety-sensitive activities meet federal standards for drug and alcohol prevention in transit operations.
