About this file
This is a Drug-Free Workplace Certification document required by the State of Florida under Section 287.087 of the Florida Statutes for the Forestmeadows Tennis Courts 17 & 18 Conversion Project located at 4750 Meridian Road, Tallahassee, Florida. The certification establishes that bidders must demonstrate implementation of a drug-free workplace program to receive preference in award decisions when bids are equal in price, quality, and service. The document outlines six mandatory requirements for maintaining a drug-free workplace program, including publishing a statement prohibiting controlled substance activity in the workplace, informing employees of drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs, distributing the policy statement to all employees, requiring employees to report drug-related convictions within five days, imposing sanctions or requiring participation in rehabilitation programs for violations, and maintaining good faith efforts to sustain the program.
Respondents must sign and return the certification form to confirm full compliance with all drug-free workplace requirements. The certification requires the authorized signatory to attest that the firm meets all specified criteria, with false statements subject to legal penalties. This certification document does not contain pricing information, set-asides, funding details, or contract term specifications, as it serves solely as a compliance verification requirement for bid eligibility and award preference under Florida procurement law.

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.
