§ 33.60 SUBSTANCE ABUSE EVALUATION; FOLLOW-UP TESTING.
   (A)   Any driver who engages in prohibited conduct shall be provided with the names, addresses and telephone numbers of qualified substance abuse professionals. If the driver desires to become requalified, then the driver must be evaluated by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP) and submit to any treatment prescribed by the SAP. Following evaluation and treatment, if any, in order to become requalified, the driver must submit to and successfully complete a return-to-duty drug or alcohol test. Such driver is also subject to follow-up testing.
   (B)   Follow-up testing is separate from and in addition to the city’s reasonable suspicion, post- accident and random testing procedures. Follow-up testing shall be on a random basis and in accordance with the instructions of the Substance Abuse Professional. Follow-up testing may continue for a period of up to 60 months following the driver’s return to duty. Not fewer than six tests shall be performed in the first 12 months of follow-up testing.
   (C)   The cost of any SAP evaluation or prescribed treatment shall be borne by the driver. The city does not guarantee or promise a position to the driver should he or she regain qualified status.
