About this file
The document is an Indemnification form from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and the City of Lakeland, specifically addressing contractor liability and legal protections. The form outlines comprehensive indemnification provisions where the contractor agrees to defend and hold harmless the State of Florida Department of Transportation and the City from liabilities, damages, losses, and costs arising from negligence or misconduct during work performance. The document allows for applicability across multiple contract scenarios, either for a five-year period or for specific projects, purchase orders, or contracts, with a provision for modifying terms to comply with Florida statutes.
The indemnification form includes critical provisions such as a waiver of subrogation for insurance policies, release of liability upon final payment, and a savings clause to ensure compliance with Florida laws. The document requires the contractor to provide comprehensive insurance coverage and includes a notarization section for legal validation. While not directly tied to a specific project scope, the form represents a standard legal instrument used by government entities to mitigate risk and establish clear liability parameters for contractors performing work for state and local government agencies.

INDEMNIFICATION
Contractor
To the fullest extent permitted by laws and regulations, and in consideration of the amount stated on any Purchase Order, the Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the State of Florida Department of Transportation, the City, its officers, directors, agents, guests, invitees, and employees from and against all liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, direct, indirect, or consequential (including but not limited to reasonable fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and court and arbitration costs) arising out of or resulting from any acts of negligence, gross negligence or intentional wrongful misconduct in the performance of the work by the Contractor, any Subcontractor, or any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them to perform or furnish any of the work or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.
In any and all claims against the State of Florida Department of Transportation, the City, or any of its officers, directors, agents, or employees by any employee of the Contractor, any Subcontractor, any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them to perform or furnish any of the work or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable, this indemnification obligation shall not be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for the Contractor or any such Subcontractor or other person or organization under workers’ or workmen’s compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts, nor shall this indemnification obligation be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of insurance coverage provided by the State of Florida Department of Transportation, the City, the Contractor, or any of his Subcontractors. To the extent this Indemnification conflicts with any provision of Florida Law or Statute, this indemnification shall be deemed to be amended in such a manner as to be consistent with such Law or Statute.
Applicability: It is the express intent of the Contractor that this agreement shall apply for the project(s) or time period indicated below. (Check and complete one):

Subrogation: The Contractor and his Subcontractors agree by entering into this contract to a Waiver of Subrogation for each required policy herein. When required by the insurer, or should a policy condition not permit Contractor or Subcontractor to enter into a pre-loss agreement to waive subrogation without an endorsement, then Contractor or Subcontractor agrees to notify the insurer and request the policy be endorsed with a Waiver of Transfer of Rights of Recovery Against Others, or its equivalent. This Waiver of Subrogation requirement shall not apply to any policy, which includes a condition specifically prohibiting such an endorsement, or voids coverage should Contractor or Subcontractor enter into such an agreement on a pre-loss basis.
Release of Liability: Acceptance by the Contractor of the last payment shall be a release to the City and every officer and agent thereof, from all claims and liability hereunder for anything done or furnished for, or relating to the work, or for any act or neglect of the City or of any person relating to or affecting the work of which Contractor has knowledge at the time.
Savings Clause: The parties agree that to the extent the written terms of this Indemnification conflict with any provisions of Florida laws or statutes, in particular Sections 725.06 and 725.08 of the Florida Statutes, the written terms of this indemnification shall be deemed by any court of competent jurisdiction to be modified in such a manner as to be in full and complete compliance with all such laws or statutes and to contain such limiting conditions, or limitations of liability, or to not contain any unenforceable, or prohibited term or terms, such that this Indemnification shall be enforceable in accordance with and to the greatest extent permitted by Florida Law.
