<br />6. <br /> <br />Random Testing <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />A. Selection of Drivers. The selection of drivers for random alcohol <br />and controlled substance testing shall be made by a scientifically valid <br />method, such as a random number table or a computer-based random <br />number generator that is matched with a driver's identification or social <br />security number. Under the selection process used, each driver shall have an <br />equal chance of being tested each time selections are made. <br /> <br />B. Number of Drivers Selected. For alcohol testing the City shall <br />randomly select a sufficient number of drivers during each calendar year to <br />equal an annual rate of not less than ten percent (10%) of drivers. For <br />controlled substance testing, the City shall randomly select a sufficient <br />number of drivers to equal an annual rate of not less that fifty percent (50%) <br />of the drivers. If the required percentage of drivers to be tested is changed by <br />the FHW A, the City will use the lowest percentage allowed. Drivers may be <br />selected for more than one test per year. <br /> <br />C. Testine- Immediacy. The City shall require that each driver who is <br />notified of selection for random alcohol and/or controlled substance testing <br />proceed to the test site immediately; provided, however, that if the driver is <br />performing a safety-sensitive function at the time of notification, the City <br />shall ensure that the driver ceases to perform the safety-sensitive function <br />and proceeds to the testing site as soon as possible. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />D. Timine- of Test. A driver shall only be tested for alcohol while the <br />driver is performing safety-sensitive functions, just before the driver is to <br />perform safety-sensitive functions, or just after the driver has ceased <br />performing such safety sensitive functions, or while the driver is in a state of <br />readiness to drive. <br /> <br />v. CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE TESTING <br /> <br />Controlled Substances Testing is conducted by analyzing a driver's urine specimen. <br />Split urine samples will be collected according to FHW A regulations. The driver <br />will provide a urine sample at a designated collection site. The collection site <br />person shall pour the urine specimen into two bottles labeled "primary" and "split", <br />seal the specimens, complete a chain of custody document and prepare the bottles <br />for shipment to the testing laboratory for analysis. <br /> <br />1. Driver Unable to Provide Appropriate Quantitv of Urine. If the driver <br />is unable to provide the appropriate quantity of urine, the collection site person <br />shall instruct the driver to drink not more than 24 ounces of fluids and, after a <br />period of no more than two hours, again attempt to provide a complete sample. If <br />the driver is still unable to provide a complete sample, the testing shall be . <br />discontinued and the City notified. The MRO shall refer the driver for a medical <br />evaluation to determine if the driver's inability to provide a specimen is genuine or <br />constitutes a refusal to test. <br /> <br />page 7 <br />
