If the City conducts random testing for alcohol and/or controlled substances through a consortium, the number of drivers to be tested may be calculated for each individual employer or may be based on the total number of drivers covered by the consortium who are subject to random alcohol and/or controlled substance testing at the same minimum annual percentage rate under this part or any DOT alcohol or controlled substance testing rule. Notice Regarding Tests. The City shall ensure that random alcohol and controlled substance testing conducted pursuant to federal law are unannounced and that the dates for administering random alcohol and controlled substances are throughout the calendar year. Drivers may be selected for more than one test per year.
