WV73 Drug Free Affidavit.pdf

This is a Drug Free Workplace Conformance Affidavit required by the State of West Virginia for the Transitional Living Facility HVAC Replacement project. The affidavit is a mandatory compliance document that must be completed and submitted with any bid in response to this contract opportunity. The form requires an authorized employee of the bidding company to attest under oath that the company maintains a valid written drug-free workplace policy in compliance with West Virginia Code 21-1D. The affidavit must be notarized and include the employee's signature, title, company name, date, and the notary public's seal and commission expiration date. Failure to include the completed and notarized affidavit with a bid submission will result in automatic disqualification of that bid.

This affidavit serves as a prerequisite qualification document rather than a pricing or contractual terms document. All bidders are held to the same requirement with no exceptions or set-asides. The document was last revised in August 2013 and reflects West Virginia's statutory mandate under WV Code 21-1D-5 to ensure that companies bidding on state and local contracts operate drug-free workplaces. The affidavit does not address pricing, funding sources, contract duration, or renewal options, as it functions solely as a compliance verification mechanism prior to bid evaluation.
