Conduct of Tests. The City may use breathalyzer tests for alcohol testing. In conducting the testing authorized by this Agreement (other than by use of a breathalyzer, with respect to which only item H., below, shall apply), the City shall:
A. Use only a clinical laboratory or hospital facility that is licensed pursuant to the Illinois Clinical Laboratory Act that has and/or is capable of being accredited by the National Institute of Drug Abuse (NIDA);
B. Insure that the laboratory or facility selected conforms to all NIDA standards, including blind testing;
C. Use tamper-proof containers, have a chain-of-custody procedure, maintain confidentiality, and preserve specimens for a minimum of twelve (12) months. The laboratory or facility must be willing to demonstrate their sample handling procedures to the Union at any time. The laboratory or facility shall participate in a program of "blind" proficiency testing where they analyze unknown samples sent by an independent party. The laboratory or facility shall make such result available to the Union upon request. All testing shall be by chemical analysis of a urine sample by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). At the time a urine specimen is given, the employee shall be given a copy of the specimen collection procedures; the specimen must be immediately sealed, labeled and initialed by the employee to ensure that the specimen tested by the laboratory is that of the employee.
D. Collect a sufficient sample of the same bodily fluid or material from an employee to allow for initial screening, a confirmatory test and a sufficient amount to be set aside reserved for later testing if requested by the employee.
E. Collect samples in such manner as to ensure a high degree of security for the sample and its freedom from adulteration.
F. Confirm any sample that tests positive in the initial screening for drugs by testing the second portion of the same sample by gas chromatography plus mass spectrometry or an equivalent or better scientifically accurate and accepted method that provides quantitative data about the detected drug or drug metabolites;
X. Provide the employee tested with an opportunity to have the additional sample tested by a clinical laboratory or hospital facility of the employee's own choosing, at the employee's own expense, provided the employee notifies the Personnel Director in writing within seventy-two (72) hours of receiving the results of the tests of the employee's desire to utilize another laboratory or...

The laboratory or facility must be willing to demonstrate their sample handling procedures to the union at least once yearly upon reasonable notice. At the time a urine specimen is given, the employee shall be given a copy of the specimen collection procedures; the specimen must be immediately sealed, labeled, and initialed by the employee to ensure that the specimen tested by the laboratory is that of the employee. If the sample is violated in any manner or the procedure is improperly administered, the sample will be invalid for testing.
C. Collect a sufficient sample of the same bodily fluid or material from a firefighter to allow for initial screening, a confirmatory test, and a sufficient amount to be reserved for later testing if requested by the employee.
D. Collect samples in such manner as to preserve the individual right to privacy, ensure a high degree of security to the sample and its freedom from adulteration. Employees shall not be witnessed by anyone while submitting a sample, except in circumstances where there is reasonable suspicion that the employee has or may attempt to compromise the accuracy of the testing procedure, or otherwise outlined in this appendix.
E. Confirm any employee who tests positive in the initial screening for drugs by testing the second portion of the same sample via gas chromatography, plus mass spectrometry (or "GC/MS") or the equivalent or better scientifically accurate and accepted methods that will provide quantitative data about the detected drug or drug metabolites subject to MRO interpretation.
F. Provide the employee tested with an opportunity to have the additional sample tested by a clinical laboratory or hospital facility of the employee’s own choosing at the employee’s own expense, unless the split sam...
