(1) Any prime contractor doing work on a highway project shall establish, implement and enforce, at its own cost, a drug testing program for its employees and shall ensure that a program is in place by its subcontractors for its employees who shall be working on the site of a state highway project.(2) The drug testing program shall include post-accident testing, random testing, reasonable suspicion testing and return to duty testing and shall utilize collection, testing, analysis and reporting specifications which meet or exceed the provisions contained in 49 CFR part 40 and 49 CFR part 382.(3) Attestation of compliance with this rule will be required in the initial bid contract furnished to the contractor.(4) False certification of compliance with this rule will result in removal from the current project and could result in debarment from future highway projects.
