About this file
This is a Certification of Drug Free Workplace attachment for a Natural Gas Supply Invitation to Bid issued by the Florida Department of Management Services. The certification is a bidder preference document applicable when the Department receives equal bids on price, quality, and service. Bidders who submit this signed certification demonstrate compliance with Florida Statutes Section 287.087 and gain preference consideration in award decisions. The Department intends to establish a state term contract for natural gas supply with potential for a statewide award to one bidder or no award, as determined in the state's best interest. Responses must be submitted through MyFloridaMarketPlace Sourcing Event via the SAP Business Network, with vendors responsible for monitoring the Vendor Information Portal throughout the procurement for updates and decisions.
The certification requires bidders to implement a comprehensive drug-free workplace program that includes publishing a workplace drug prohibition statement, informing employees of drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs, distributing the prohibition statement to all employees engaged in contract work, requiring employees to report drug-related convictions within five days, imposing sanctions or requiring rehabilitation program participation for violations, and maintaining good faith efforts toward workplace drug compliance. Bidders authorized to submit must certify full compliance with these requirements by signature, acknowledging that false statements are punishable under law. Protests must be filed timely with the Department of Management Services Office of the General Counsel within prescribed timeframes per Florida Statutes Section 120.57(3), with contact information provided for the Purchasing Analyst Supervisor, John Nordmeyer.
