BID FORM 8C: Drug-Free Workplace Preference Statement
This is a bid form certification document required for procurement by the City of South Daytona and Flagler County in Florida. The form establishes a preference mechanism for awarding contracts when bids are otherwise equal in price, quality, and service. Bidders that certify implementation of a drug-free workplace program receive preference over non-compliant vendors in tied bid situations. The form must be completed and returned with all bid submissions. The certification requires authorized representatives to affirm that their firms comply with six specific requirements: publishing a workplace drug prohibition statement to employees, informing employees of drug abuse dangers and company policies, distributing the prohibition statement to all relevant employees, requiring employees to report drug-related convictions within five days, imposing sanctions or requiring participation in rehabilitation programs for violators, and maintaining ongoing good-faith efforts to sustain a drug-free workplace under Florida Statutes Section 287.087. The form must be notarized with the notary public's signature, commission expiration date, date of notarization, and identification method (physical presence or online notarization).
This certification form serves as an evaluation criterion for competitive procurements and does not establish pricing terms, set-asides, or funding requirements. The form is a mandatory submission component alongside other required documentation such as Bid Submittal Forms, W-9 Forms, proof of insurance, Prohibition Against Contingent Fees disclosures, and Human Trafficking Attestations. There are no specific contract term lengths, renewal options, incumbent vendors, or dollar amounts referenced in this particular form, as it functions solely as a uniform compliance and preference certification document used across multiple state and local procurement activities in Florida.

BID FORM 8C:
Drug-Free Preference Statement
IDENTICAL TIE BIDS - Preference shall be given to businesses with drug-free workplace programs. Whenever two or more bids, proposals, statements, or replies that are equal with respect to price, quality, and service are received by the city 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 Section 287.087, Florida Statutes.
As an authorized representative of the firm, I certify that this firm complies fully with the above requirements.
