About this file
This is a Certification of Drug Free Workplace attachment document issued by the Florida Department of Management Services for a Government Crime Insurance Invitation to Bid (ITB). The certification serves as a preference criterion in the bidding process, applicable when the Department receives equal bids that are equivalent in price, quality, and service. The document outlines the mandatory components of an acceptable drug-free workplace program that bidders must implement and certify, including publishing workplace policies prohibiting controlled substance use, informing employees of drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs, distributing policy statements to all employees engaged in contract work, requiring employees to report drug-related convictions within five days, and imposing sanctions or requiring rehabilitation program participation for violators. Bidders must make a good faith effort to maintain these provisions throughout contract performance.
The certification form requires the authorized bidder representative to sign and submit the completed attachment with their bid response, certifying full compliance with all specified drug-free workplace requirements. Under Florida Statutes Section 287.087, bidders who submit this certification gain a competitive preference when multiple equal bids are received, providing an incentive for vendors to implement formal drug-free workplace programs. The Department reserves the right to make no award and intends to make a single award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with responses required through the MyFloridaMarketPlace Sourcing Event via the SAP Business Network.

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.
