About this file
This is a Certification of Drug Free Workplace form issued by the Florida Department of Management Services for the Building Code Inspection Services Invitation to Bid (ITB) No. 26-81141805-ITB. The certification serves as a tiebreaker mechanism under Florida Statutes Section 287.087, providing preference consideration to bidders with equal bids regarding price, quality, and service who submit a signed certification of drug-free workplace program implementation. The form requires bidders to certify compliance with six specific program components: publishing a statement prohibiting controlled substance use in the workplace; informing employees of drug abuse dangers and company policy; distributing the prohibition statement to all employees engaged in contract work; requiring employees to notify the employer of any drug-related convictions within five days; imposing sanctions or requiring participation in rehabilitation programs for violations; and maintaining good faith efforts to sustain a drug-free workplace. Bidders must have an authorized representative sign and print their name on the certification, acknowledging that false statements are punishable by law.
The document serves as an attachment to the statewide Building Code Inspection Services ITB, which seeks to establish a State Term Contract with multiple anticipated awards across eleven geographic regions for Inspector, Plans Examiner, and Building Code Administrator positions. The bid submission deadline is May 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM Eastern Time, with a Notice of Intent to Award on June 9, 2026, and an anticipated contract start date of July 1, 2026. The initial contract term is three years with renewal options available upon mutual written agreement. Historical annual spending for these services averages approximately $6.7 million. The certification of drug-free workplace compliance is a mandatory requirement that provides preference advantage only when multiple bidders submit equal bids on all evaluation criteria.

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.
