About this file
The document is a Drug-Free Workplace Certification Form associated with Florida Statute 287.087, which applies to the State of Florida and its political subdivisions. The form outlines requirements for businesses seeking preference in bid awards by implementing a drug-free workplace program. In conjunction with this certification, The School Board of Polk County, Florida is soliciting competitive bids for network equipment, with pricing to cover materials only, as district personnel will handle installation. The procurement is contingent upon E-Rate funding approval and available district funds.
The certification form details six specific criteria for establishing a drug-free workplace, including publishing employee statements prohibiting controlled substance use, informing employees about drug abuse dangers and potential penalties, distributing policy statements, and requiring employees to notify employers of drug-related convictions. For bidders, this certification can provide a competitive advantage when bids are otherwise equal in price, quality, and service. The network equipment procurement appears to be part of a technology infrastructure upgrade for the school district, with funding potentially supported through the E-Rate program, which provides discounts for telecommunications and internet access to eligible schools and libraries.

Drug-Free Workplace Certification Form
In accordance with Florida Statute 287.087, preference shall be given to businesses with drug free workplace programs. Whenever two or more bids which are equal with respect to price, quality, and service are received by the State or by any political subdivision 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 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 this section. | |
| As the person authorized to sign the statement, I certify that this firm complies fully with the | above requirements. |
