B & B Attachment A-IV.docx

This is an attachment to a Request for Proposals (RFP 210000000583) issued by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) for Bicentennial and Blossomland Lift Bridge Operational and Custodial Services. The attachment establishes drug and alcohol testing requirements for contractor employees performing safety-sensitive functions in accordance with the Omnibus Transportation Testing Act of 1991. Contractors must implement a comprehensive testing program that includes pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, post-accident, and return-to-duty/follow-up testing. Any employee who tests positive must be immediately suspended or dismissed, with no return to work permitted without Contract Administrator approval.

The contractor is responsible for establishing and funding the drug and alcohol testing program; MDOT will not reimburse testing costs. Pre-employment testing expenses are to be included in the Mobilization line item, while all other testing costs are incorporated into the "Bridge Operation, In Season" line item. This mandatory testing requirement applies to all contractor personnel engaged in safety-sensitive bridge operational and custodial duties.
