About this file

This is an Indemnification Agreement form for the City of Lakeland, Florida, applicable to consultant contracts and related to the City's Annual Towing Services contract opportunity. The document establishes the indemnification and hold harmless obligations for consultants performing work for the City on an as-needed basis. The agreement requires consultants to indemnify and hold harmless the City, 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 indemnification obligation applies across workers' compensation limitations and is not restricted by insurance coverage limitations. The consultant must select whether the agreement applies to a specified timeframe of up to five years or to specific projects identified by bid number, purchase order/requisition number, or contract date.

The agreement requires consultants and subcontractors to ensure their insurance carriers waive all rights of subrogation against the City, except for professional liability claims where subrogation rights are waived only in cases of gross negligence by the City. Acceptance of final payment constitutes a release of all claims and liability by the consultant unless otherwise specified in a written agreement at the time of final payment. The document includes a savings clause ensuring that if any written terms conflict with Florida Statutes Sections 725.06 and 725.08, the terms shall be modified to comply with state law to the greatest extent permitted. The agreement requires notarization and must be executed by the consultant's owner or officer with appropriate identification and acknowledgment before a notary public.
