About this file
This is Attachment P (Drug-Free Workplace Program - Respondent Certification) for Florida Department of Elder Affairs (DOEA) Solicitation No. 24-RFP-001-JT, which outlines the requirements for bidders to certify their drug-free workplace program. The document establishes that in cases of identical tie bids with respect to price, quality, and service, preference will be given to businesses that have implemented a drug-free workplace program.
The certification requires businesses to meet six specific requirements: publish a statement prohibiting controlled substances in the workplace, inform employees about drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs, provide copies of the drug-free workplace statement to employees, require employees to notify employers of any drug-related convictions within five days, impose sanctions or require rehabilitation program participation for convicted employees, and make good faith efforts to maintain a drug-free workplace. The document includes signature lines for the respondent organization's authorized representative to certify compliance with these requirements.

ATTACHMENT P
DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE PROGRAM – RESPONDENT CERTIFICATION
IDENTICAL TIE BIDS - Preference shall be given to businesses with drug-free workplace programs. Whenever two or more bids which are equal with respect to price, quality, and service are received by the State or by any political subdivision for the procurement of commodities or contractual services, a bid received from a business that certifies that it has implemented a drug-free workplace program shall be given preference in the award process. Established procedures for processing tie bids will be followed if none of the tied vendors have a drug-free workplace program. In order to have a drug-free workplace program, a business shall:
1) Publish a statement notifying employees that the unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of a controlled substance is prohibited in the workplace and specifying the actions that will be taken against employees for violations of such prohibition.
2) Inform 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) Give each employee engaged in providing the commodities or contractual services that are under bid a copy of the statement specified in subsection (1).
4) In the statement specified in subsection (1), notify the employees that, as a condition of working on the commodities or contractual services that are under bid, the employee 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 (5) days after such conviction.
5) Impose a sanction on or require 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) Make a good faith effort to continue to maintain a drug-free workplace through implementation of this section.
As the person authorized to sign the statement, I certify that this firm complies fully with the above requirements.
