About this file
This is a Drug-Free Workplace Certification form required by the School District of Manatee County (SDMC) for the Tillman Elementary Campus-Wide Renovation project (RFQ 2025-09) in Palmetto, Florida. The certification mandates that bidders establish and maintain a drug-free workplace program meeting six specific requirements: publishing a statement prohibiting unlawful manufacture, distribution, dispensing, possession, or use of controlled substances in the workplace; informing employees of drug abuse dangers and company policy; distributing the prohibition statement to all employees engaged in providing the commodities or services under bid; notifying employees that compliance with the drug-free workplace terms is a condition of employment and requiring notification of any drug-related convictions within five days; imposing sanctions or requiring participation in drug abuse assistance or rehabilitation programs for violating employees; and maintaining good faith efforts to sustain the drug-free workplace program. The submittal deadline for all required certifications and documentation is December 9, 2025 at 12:00 PM via VendorLink, with short-listed firms scheduled for site visits on January 14, 2026 and interviews on February 3, 2026.
The certification must be signed by an authorized official of the contractor's firm and represents a mandatory compliance requirement for participation in this $31,000,000 estimated project. The drug-free workplace certification is one of multiple federal and state compliance certifications required for submission, including debarment, anti-lobbying, anti-discrimination, E-Verify, and scrutinized companies certifications. Approximately 30% of the contract volume is federally funded, necessitating adherence to federal compliance standards including prevailing wage requirements. All bidding firms must include five professional disciplines—Architecture, Structural Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering—with all team members licensed in Florida. The design phase completion is targeted for May 2026, with construction completion projected for July 2027.
