<br />6. Random Testinl! <br /> <br />A. Selection of Drivers. The selection of drivers for random alcohol and <br />controlled substance testing shall be made by a scientifically valid method, such <br />as a random number table or a computer-based random number generator that is <br />matched with a driver's identification or social security number. Under the <br />selection process used, each driver shall have an equal chance of being tested <br />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 equal <br />an annual rate of not less than ten percent (10%) of drivers. For controlled <br />substance testing, the City shall randomly select a sufficient number of drivers to <br />equal an annual rate of not less that fifty percent (50%) ofthe drivers. Ifthe <br />required percentage of drivers to be tested is changed by the FHW A, the City <br />will use the lowest percentage allowed. Drivers may be selected for more than <br />one test per year. <br /> <br />C. Testinl! Immediacv. 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 ifthe driver is <br />performing a safety-sensitive function at the time of notification, the City shall <br />ensure that the driver ceases to perform the safety-sensitive function and <br />proceeds to the testing site as soon as possible. <br /> <br />D. Timinl! 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 performing <br />such safety sensitive functions, or while the driver is in a state of readiness to <br />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 will <br />provide a urine sample at a designated collection site. The collection site person shall <br />pour the urine specimen into two bottles labeled "primary" and "split", seal the <br />specimens, complete a chain of custody document and prepare the bottles for shipment to <br />the testing laboratory for analysis. <br /> <br />1. Driver Unable to Provide Aoorooriate Quantitv of Urine. Ifthe driver is <br />unable to provide the appropriate quantity of urine, the collection site person shall <br />instruct the driver to drink not more than 24 ounces of fluids and, after a period of no <br />more than two hours, again attempt to provide a complete sample. If the driver is still <br />unable to provide a complete sample, the testing shall be discontinued and the City <br />notified. The MRO shall refer the driver for a medical evaluation to determine ifthe <br />driver's inability to provide a specimen is genuine or constitutes a refusal to test. <br /> <br />2.
