About this file
This is a Drug-Free Workplace Certification form required by the Florida Department of Management Services for the Auditing and Related Services Request for Proposals. The certification applies to respondents competing for state term contract awards and serves as a tiebreaker when the Department receives equal proposals that are eligible for award with respect to price, quality, and service. Respondents that submit a signed certification demonstrating implementation of a drug-free workforce program receive preference consideration under Florida Statute Section 287.087.
The certification requires respondents to demonstrate implementation of six key program components: publication of a workplace drug prohibition statement; employee notification regarding drug abuse dangers and business policy; distribution of the prohibition statement to all employees providing services under the contract; notification to employees that they must report drug-related convictions within five days; imposition of sanctions or mandatory participation in rehabilitation programs for violating employees; and good faith maintenance of drug-free workplace policies. The authorized representative of the respondent must certify full compliance with these requirements, acknowledging that false statements are punishable under law. The form includes designated fields for the respondent's vendor name, authorized signatory information, title, printed name, and date of certification.

Attachment K Certification of Drug Free Workplace
In the event there is no multiple awards contemplated in the RFP, and the Department receives equal Proposals eligible for award, the Department will comply with Florida Statutes in accordance with the ‘Equal Proposals’ section of the RFP. When the Department receives equal Proposals 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 Respondent that has signed and submitted this form with its Proposal certifying it has implemented a drug-free workforce program in accordance with the provisions below.
I certify that the Respondent 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 Offer 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 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.
(6) Making a good faith effort to continuing to maintain a drug-free workplace through implementation of these provisions.
