Preference may be given to vendors submitting a certification with their bid/proposal

Florida Statutes. This requirement affects all public entities of the State and becomes

IDENTICAL TIE PROPOSALS - Preference may be given to businesses with drug -
free workplace programs. Whenever two or more proposals that 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 proposals will be followed if none of the tied vendors 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 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 that five (5) days after each conviction.
5. Impose a section 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 adrug-free workplace through
implementation of this section. As the person authorized to sign the statement, I
certify that this form complies fully with the above requirements.
