About this file
This is an indemnification agreement document for the City of Lakeland, Florida, establishing hold harmless and liability requirements for consultants engaged by the municipality. The agreement obligates 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 by the consultant in performance of the contract. The indemnification obligation applies without limitation by workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts, and is not limited by insurance coverage caps. The agreement is applicable to a three-year professional environmental risk engineering services contract for the City of Lakeland with options for two one-year renewals, as established under the Florida Consultant's Competitive Negotiation Act. The consultant must select either a specific timeframe (up to five years) during which the indemnification applies to all City contracts and purchase orders, or designate specific project bid numbers, purchase order/requisition numbers, or contract dates to which the agreement applies.
The agreement requires consultants and subcontractors to obtain waivers of subrogation rights from their insurance carriers for all insurance policies except professional liability coverage, which may maintain subrogation rights only in situations demonstrating gross negligence by the City. Acceptance of final payment by the consultant constitutes a complete release of the City and its officers and agents from all claims and liability related to the work unless otherwise specified in a separate written agreement at the time of final payment. A savings clause ensures that if any provision conflicts with Florida Statutes Sections 725.06 and 725.08, the agreement shall be modified to comply with applicable state law and remain enforceable to the greatest extent permitted by Florida law. The document requires notarization and signature by an authorized representative of the consulting organization, with the agreement revised as of June 3, 2026.
