About this file

This is an indemnification agreement template issued by the City of Lakeland, Florida for use by consultants and contractors performing work for the municipality. The document establishes the indemnification and hold harmless obligations for consultants engaged by the City of Lakeland in connection with the McIntosh Power Plant Cooling Tower Distribution System Replacement project. The agreement applies to the replacement of the existing cooling water distribution system at McIntosh Power Plant, which involves removing existing header piping, lateral piping, and spray nozzles and installing a complete new distribution system. The work is scheduled during a Spring 2027 outage window (April 30–May 17), and the contractor must coordinate closely with Lakeland Electric to complete all work within the established cooling tower availability window to support scheduled unit startup activities. The agreement may be executed for a timeframe of up to five years or limited to a specific bid number, purchase order, requirement number, or contract date, as selected by the consultant.

The indemnification agreement requires the consultant to indemnify and hold harmless the City of Lakeland and its officers and employees from all liabilities, damages, losses, and costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising from the negligence, recklessness, or intentionally wrongful conduct of the consultant and persons employed or utilized by the consultant. The consultant and its subcontractors must require their insurance carriers to waive all rights of subrogation against the City, except for Professional Liability claims, where subrogation waivers apply except in situations involving gross negligence by the City. Acceptance of final payment by the consultant constitutes a release of all claims against the City. The agreement includes a savings clause ensuring compliance with Florida Statutes Sections 725.06 and 725.08, with the agreement to be modified to the greatest extent permitted by Florida law if any conflict arises.
