Miami Dade County Interview

I interviewed with Miami Dade county for an Oracle DBA position. Being a tech whore that I am I always keep my options open and hence try to get an interview atleast every two weeks. This time it was Miami Dade county and I SLAMMED the interview. I was their FIRST choice. Also the instability at Cardsystems Inc did not help me try and stay . But wait there's more. Vitaver consulting - through whom I am going to go to the county told me that I will have to

1) Do a self administered drug test (redundant ??)
2) GO through an independent fingerprinting criteria
WHOA !!

Most of all NONE of these two were mentioned in the Statement of Work that we signed and agreed upon. For about 85$ an hour in Miami sounded good but this killed it for me. What would you do ? Please comment on this one .

I am not blaming Vitaver. They are excellent and professional in their conduct and I liked the CEO's personality. The recruiter was good too.

I am not blaming Miami Dade either. They are technically excellent and professional people.

Mainly I think its one of the procedural mistakes/omissions that I admit even I could make if I was in their position.

Sincerely,
Tapan
