(2) If operating such a program, a statement that describes the government entity's drug-free workplace or alcohol and drug testing program; and

(3) A statement that all bidders or proposals for construction services are required to submit an affidavit as part of their bid, that attests that the bidder operates a drug-free workplace program or other drug or alcohol testing program with requirements at least as stringent as that of the program operated by the governmental entity.
