About this file
This document is a Bid Form 8C: Drug-Free Preference Statement for a local government procurement process. The form outlines requirements for businesses seeking to participate in a bid process with a preference given to those that have implemented a drug-free workplace program. When two or more bids are equal in price, quality, and service, a business with a certified drug-free workplace program will receive preference in the award process.
The form specifies six key requirements for establishing a drug-free workplace program, including publishing a statement prohibiting controlled substance activities in the workplace, informing employees about drug abuse dangers and consequences, providing employees with the program statement, requiring employees to notify the employer of drug-related convictions, imposing sanctions on convicted employees, and making a good faith effort to maintain a drug-free workplace. The document must be completed, signed by an authorized representative, and notarized, serving as a certification of the company's compliance with these workplace drug prevention guidelines.

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.
