About this file
This is a Drug-Free Workplace Preference Statement form issued by the City of Florida for the City Center Sport Complex Ballfields Restoration project. The form establishes a preference mechanism for awarding contracts when two or more bids are equal in price, quality, and service. Bidders who certify implementation of a drug-free workplace program receive preference in the award process. If no tied bidders have a drug-free workplace program, established tie-bid procedures are followed. The document must be completed and returned with the contractor's submittal.
To qualify for the drug-free workplace preference, a business must: publish a workplace drug prohibition statement to employees; inform employees of drug abuse dangers and available counseling or assistance programs; provide each employee a copy of the prohibition statement; require employee notification of drug-related convictions within five days; impose sanctions or require participation in rehabilitation programs for violations; and make good faith efforts to maintain a drug-free workplace. The form requires certification by an authorized representative with notarization, including acknowledgment before a notary public with identification verification and commission information. Completion and submission of this form is mandatory as part of the bid process for this project.

FORM 7.4 – 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 are equal with respect to price, quality and service are received by the City for 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 Bidders 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 a 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 the 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 the 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 an 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.
