This is a Drug-Free Workplace Certification form required by the Sarasota County Schools for the Complete Architectural and Engineering Services solicitation regarding the Lakewood Ranch High School HVAC Renovation project (SDMC No. 2026-01) in Florida. The certification document outlines mandatory requirements that contractor firms must satisfy prior to contract award, including the establishment of a formal drug-free workplace program. Bidders were required to submit proposals by July 16, 2026, with a public notice issued on June 17, 2026, and a revision posted on July 20, 2026, indicating material changes to the solicitation near the deadline.

The Drug-Free Workplace Certification requires the contractor's authorized official to certify compliance with six specific requirements: publication of a workplace drug prohibition statement specifying employee penalties; employee notification regarding drug abuse dangers and company policy; distribution of the prohibition statement to all employees engaged in providing the contracted commodities or services; notification that employees must report drug-related convictions within five days; imposition of sanctions or mandatory participation in rehabilitation programs for violating employees; and maintenance of good faith efforts to sustain the drug-free workplace program. Standard certifications additionally required for this solicitation include anti-discrimination, Byrd anti-lobbying, contractor affidavit regarding coercion, debarment certification, E-Verify employment eligibility verification, scrutinized company status, and statement of principal place of business. No specific contract value, evaluation criteria weights, or award timeline have been identified in the available documentation.
