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. 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 "GCIMS") or the equivalent or better scientifically accurate and accepted method that will provide quantitative, data about the detected drug or drug metabolites; 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: G. Provide each employee tested with a copy of all information and reports received by the City in connection with the testing and the results: H.

Initial Screening Test Standard The following initial immunoassay test cut off levels shall be used when screening specimens to determine whether they are negative for the five (5) drugs or classes of drugs: Marijuana metabolites 100 ng/ml Cocaine metabolites 300 ng/ml Opiate metabolites 300 ng/ml Phencyclidine 25 ng/ml Amphetamines 1000 ng/ml 2. Confirmatory Test Standards. All specimens identified as positive on the initial screening test shall be confirmed using GC/MS techniques at the cut off levels listed below. All confirmations shall be by quantitative analysis. Concentrations that exceed the linear region of the standard curve shall be documented. Marijuana metabolites* 15 ng/ml Cocaine metabolites** 150 ng/ml Opiates: Morphine 300 ng/ml Codeine 300 ng/ml Phencyclidine 25 ng/ml Amphetamines: Amphetamine 500 ng/ml Methamphetamine 500 ng/ml *Delta-9-tetra hydrocannabinol-9-carboxylic acid **Benzoylecgonine
