About this file
This document is Appendix D, a Drug-Free Workplace Certification Form aligned with Florida Statute 287.087, which provides guidance for businesses seeking to qualify for preference in state or political subdivision procurement processes. The statute outlines specific requirements for establishing a drug-free workplace program, including publishing employee statements prohibiting controlled substance use, informing employees about drug abuse dangers and workplace policies, providing employees with written policy statements, and establishing notification procedures for drug-related convictions. Businesses must commit to maintaining a drug-free workplace by implementing these measures and can receive preferential treatment in bid evaluations when two or more competing bids are otherwise equal in price, quality, and service.
The certification form requires the respondent to verify full compliance with the outlined drug-free workplace requirements through a signed statement. While the document does not specify pricing or direct contract details, it serves as a critical administrative component for businesses competing for state and local government contracts in Florida, demonstrating their commitment to workplace safety and professional standards. The form creates a standardized approach for vendors to document their drug-free workplace policies, which can provide a competitive advantage in the bid evaluation process by signaling organizational responsibility and commitment to maintaining a safe, productive work environment.

Appendix D, Drug-Free Workplace Certification Form
In accordance with Florida Statute 287.087, preference shall be given to businesses with drug free workplace programs. Whenever two or more bids which 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 received from a business that certifies that it has implemented a drug-free workplace program shall be given preference in the award process.
Established procedures for processing tie bids will be followed if none of the tied vendors have a drug-free workplace program. In order to have a drug-free 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 that, 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.
As the person authorized to sign the statement, I certify that this firm complies fully with the above requirements.
