The certification serves as a bidding requirement that applies when the Department receives equal bids eligible for award with respect to price, quality, and service. In such circumstances, preference is granted to bidders who submit this completed certification demonstrating implementation of a drug-free workforce program. The bidder must certify that it has established and maintained a comprehensive drug-free workplace program that includes publishing a policy statement prohibiting unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substances; informing employees of drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs; providing written policy copies to all employees engaged in contract work; requiring employees to notify the employer within five days of any drug-related conviction; imposing sanctions or requiring participation in rehabilitation programs for violations; and making good faith efforts to sustain these practices.

The Department reserves the right to award to one or multiple bidders statewide or by region, or make no award.

I certify that the Bidder has implemented a drug-free workplace program that includes the following:
