The certification applies to contractors and subcontractors performing safety-sensitive functions related to transit bus battery maintenance services for a fleet of 415 buses. Safety-sensitive functions include operating revenue and non-revenue service vehicles, controlling dispatch or movement of revenue service 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's regulation for the prevention of alcohol misuse and prohibited drug use in transit operations under 49 CFR Part 655. Annual certification of compliance must be submitted before March 15, and Management Information System (MIS) reports must be submitted no later than February 15 to the County.
Contractors and their subcontractors at all tiers are required to certify compliance with 49 CFR Part 655 and must permit authorized representatives of the County, U.S. DOT, its operating administrations, and the Florida Department of Transportation to inspect facilities and records associated with the drug and alcohol testing program implementation. Contractors must produce any documentation necessary to establish compliance and allow review of the testing process. This certification requirement is mandatory for all contractors and subcontractors involved in safety-sensitive activities and testing services, with no exceptions noted for the battery maintenance contract scope.
