PSM_-_Contractor_Annual_Audit_Form.pdf

This is a Contractor Annual Audit Form issued by the City of Lakeland's Risk Management and Purchasing department in conjunction with a citywide Drug and Alcohol Testing Services solicitation. The City of Lakeland is seeking proposals from qualified firms to provide comprehensive drug and alcohol testing services citywide across all City departments and work locations in compliance with the Florida Drug-Free Workplace Act (F.S. 440.101 and 440.102). The scope of services includes DOT and Non-DOT drug screens, DOT and Non-DOT alcohol testing, on-site after-hours testing, on-site random testing, and random selection processes, as well as post-accident and reasonable suspicion screenings. The audit form serves as an annual compliance and performance monitoring tool for contractors selected under this contract opportunity.

The City will evaluate proposals based on best value to the City rather than price alone, with selection determined by a committee that will assess overall value. Reference checks will be conducted as part of the evaluation process. The awarded firm must demonstrate knowledge of applicable federal, state, local, and City laws and practices to ensure comprehensive, professional, confidential, and legally compliant services. Under the Florida Interlocal Cooperation Act of 1969 (Section 163.01, Florida Statutes), the resulting contract may be made available for utilization by other qualified public agencies throughout the State of Florida. Contractors must adhere to the City's "Drug-Free Workplace & Mandatory Testing Policy" as outlined in the solicitation.
