About this file
This is a Drug-Free Workplace Certification Form issued by the City of Dania Beach, Florida, establishing preference criteria for bid award decisions when multiple proposals are equal in price, quality, and service. The certification document outlines six mandatory requirements that businesses must implement to qualify for drug-free workplace program recognition. These requirements include publishing workplace drug prohibition statements to employees, informing staff about drug abuse dangers and available assistance programs, distributing the prohibition statement to all employees engaged in the contracted work, requiring employee notification of controlled substance convictions within five days, imposing sanctions or requiring rehabilitation program participation for violations, and making good faith efforts to maintain drug-free workplace standards in accordance with Section 287.087 of Florida Statutes. The authorized agent of the proposing company must sign and date the certification, attesting that the company has fully implemented a compliant drug-free workplace program.
The certification serves as a competitive preference mechanism in the City of Dania Beach's procurement process rather than an absolute requirement for contract eligibility. When bids or proposals are substantially equivalent across price, quality, and service factors, vendors demonstrating implementation of comprehensive drug-free workplace programs receive preferential consideration for award. This approach incentivizes businesses to adopt workplace safety and employee wellness initiatives while maintaining flexibility in the evaluation process. The certification does not establish specific financial terms, set-asides, or incumbent protections but functions as a tiebreaker criterion that encourages responsible corporate governance and employee protection practices aligned with Florida state law.
