About this file
This is a Certification of Drug Free Workplace attachment document required by the Florida Department of Management Services for the Building Code Inspection Services Invitation to Bid (ITB). The certification applies to bidders competing for a state term contract for building code inspection services, with the department intending to make multiple statewide awards, though it reserves the right to award to one or multiple bidders by region or make no award based on the state's best interests. The ITB is being administered by Chelsea Johnson, Senior Purchasing Analyst, at the Florida Department of Management Services, with responses required to be submitted through the MyFloridaMarketPlace Sourcing Event via the SAP Business Network.
The drug-free workplace certification provides a preference consideration for bidders in cases where the department receives equal bids with respect to price, quality, and service, in accordance with Florida Statute Section 287.087. To qualify for this preference, bidders must certify implementation of a comprehensive drug-free workplace program that includes publishing a workplace drug prohibition statement, informing employees of drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs, providing the statement to all employees working on the contract, requiring employee notification of controlled substance violations within five days, imposing sanctions or requiring participation in rehabilitation programs for violations, and making good faith efforts to maintain workplace drug-free standards. The authorized bidder representative must sign the certification under penalty of law, confirming full compliance with all six requirements. Protests must be filed within the timeframe prescribed by Florida Statutes Section 120.57(3), with submissions directed to the Department of Management Services Office of the General Counsel.

Attachment J
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.
