Issue
ISSUE
Effective January 1, 2019 the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) increased its annual random drug testing rates from 25% to 50%, thereby increasing the cost to the contracts. Metro conducts physical examinations and drug and alcohol specimen collections for employees and job candidates in safety sensitive positions. These physical examinations and specimen collections are mandated by various regulatory agencies. Recently, safety has become increasingly scrutinized under the DOT and DMV which increased the frequency of special examinations to be conducted to assess fitness, such as potential safety risk and medication evaluations. The term of the contract is from January 19, 2012 through February 28, 2021 and staff is currently working with Vendor/Contract Management to issue an RFP and award a new contract in January 2021 for these services.
