STRATEGIC IMPORTANCE:
Goal - Safe and Secure Operations
Initiative - Service Quality
Employers that receive financial assistance from the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), including AC Transit, must comply with federal drug and alcohol testing regulations set forth in 49 CFR Parts 40 and 655. These regulations mandate drug and alcohol testing for safety-sensitive employees, including testing during all times of day when safety-sensitive functions are being performed. To meet these requirements, the District contracts with an onsite provider to conduct drug and alcohol testing.
BUDGETARY/FISCAL IMPACT:
The proposed award to ADTS is a contract with a base period of three years with two one-year options for a maximum of five years. The contract has an estimated value of $352,000 per year based on past years' testing costs and business needs. The funding for this contract is included in the District's budget.
