About this file
This document is an Attachment H Certification of Drug Free Workplace form for a state or local government department's Invitation to Bid (ITB) process. The document outlines detailed requirements for bidders to establish and maintain a drug-free workplace program as a condition of bid eligibility. The form specifies six key provisions that bidders must implement, including publishing statements about controlled substance prohibitions, informing employees about drug abuse dangers, providing written notices, requiring employee reporting of drug-related convictions, imposing sanctions for violations, and demonstrating ongoing commitment to a drug-free workplace.
In the event of receiving equal bids with respect to price, quality, and service, the department will apply a preference to bidders who have fully completed and signed this certification. The form serves as a legal document where the bidder certifies compliance with these provisions, with false statements being punishable under law. The certification is part of the bid submission process and can potentially provide a competitive advantage in the bid evaluation, specifically under Section 287.087 of Florida Statutes, which allows for preferential treatment of bidders with comprehensive drug-free workplace programs.

Attachment H Certification of Drug Free Workplace
In the event there is no multiple award contemplated in the ITB, and the Department receives equal Bids eligible for award, the Department will comply with Florida Statutes in accordance with the ‘Equal Bids’ section of the ITB. When the Department receives equal Bids eligible for award, with respect to price, quality and service, the Department will apply a preference in accordance with Section 287.087, F.S., to the Bidder that has signed and submitted this form with its Bid certifying it has implemented a drug-free workforce program in accordance with the provisions below.
I certify that the Bidder has implemented a drug-free workplace program that includes the following:
(1) Publishing a statement notifying employees that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in the workplace and specifies the actions that will be taken against employees for violations of such prohibition.
(2) Informing 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) Giving each employee engaged in providing the commodities or contractual services that are provided under the Bid a copy of the statement specified in (1) above.
(4) In the statement specified in (1), above, notifying the employees that, as a condition of working on the commodities or contractual services that are under Bid, the employees 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 days after such conviction.
(5) Imposing a sanction on or requiring 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) Making a good faith effort to continuing to maintain a drug-free workplace through implementation of these provisions.
As the person authorized by the Bidder to sign the attachment, I certify that the Bidder complies fully with the above requirements. False statements are punishable under law.
