This document is an Addendum (No. 1, dated May 6, 2025) issued by the Tampa Sports Authority (TSA) for Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 24-11 regarding Architectural Design, Review and Administration Services for Amateur Sports Venues. The addendum addresses a specific question about the indemnification provision in Section 26 of the original RFQ, proposing a statutorily compliant language modification. The RFQ is due on Thursday, May 29, 2025, no later than 10:30am, and prospective proposers are required to incorporate this addendum into their submission.

The addendum focuses on clarifying the indemnification language, with the TSA response stating that the selected proposer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Tampa Sports Authority, its officers and employees from liabilities, damages, losses, and costs. This includes reasonable attorneys' fees to the extent caused by the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful conduct of the proposer and other persons employed or utilized by the proposer during the performance of the contract. The document provides a specific recommended indemnification clause that aligns with Florida Statute 725.08 for design professionals in public agency contracts, ensuring legal compliance and protecting the interests of the Tampa Sports Authority.
