About this file
Attachment K is a Certification of Drug Free Workplace document from a state department seeking to ensure potential contractors maintain drug-free work environments. The document outlines a six-point program that respondents must implement and certify, which includes publishing workplace drug prohibition statements, informing employees about drug abuse dangers, providing employees with drug-free workplace policy details, notifying employees about conviction reporting requirements, imposing sanctions on employees convicted of drug offenses, and making good faith efforts to maintain a drug-free workplace.
The document provides a potential competitive advantage for respondents, as the state department will apply a preference under Section 287.087, F.S. when receiving equal offers in terms of price, quality, and service. Respondents who sign and submit this certification demonstrate compliance with specific drug-free workplace requirements, which could potentially tip the scales in their favor during the competitive procurement process. The form requires the authorized representative to sign, affirming the company's full compliance with the outlined provisions, with the understanding that false statements are punishable under law.

(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 being competitively procured, 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.
