About this file
This is a Drug-Free Workplace Certification form for the Florida Department of Management Services in connection with an Agriculture and Lawn Equipment Invitation to Bid (ITB-V2). The certification applies when the Department receives equal bids that are eligible for award with respect to price, quality, and service. In such circumstances, the Department will grant a preference under Florida Statutes Section 287.087 to the bidder that submits this signed certification demonstrating implementation of a drug-free workforce program. The solicitation seeks to establish a state term contract for agriculture and lawn equipment, with the Department intending to make multiple, statewide awards while reserving the right to award to one or multiple bidders by region or make no award as determined in the state's best interest. Chris Molina, Purchasing Analyst, serves as the procurement officer, and all responses must be submitted through the MyFloridaMarketPlace Sourcing Event via the SAP Business Network.
The certification requires bidders to attest that their organization has implemented a comprehensive drug-free workplace program meeting six specific criteria: publishing a policy statement prohibiting controlled substance use in the workplace; informing employees of drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs; providing a copy of the policy statement to each employee; requiring employees to report workplace-related drug convictions within five days; imposing sanctions or requiring participation in rehabilitation programs for violations; and making a good faith effort to maintain the drug-free workplace. The bidder's authorized representative must sign the form certifying full compliance, with false statements subject to legal penalties. This certification attachment serves as a tiebreaker mechanism to incentivize bidders to establish and maintain drug-free workplace programs in accordance with Florida law.

Attachment P
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.
