About this file
This is an Indemnification Agreement template for the City of Lakeland, Florida, establishing the contractual liability and insurance requirements for contractors performing work for the municipality. The agreement obligates contractors to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, its officers, directors, agents, and employees from all liabilities, damages, losses, and costs arising from acts of negligence, gross negligence, or intentional wrongful misconduct in the performance of work by the contractor, subcontractors, or their employees. The indemnification clause applies broadly to direct, indirect, and consequential damages, including professional fees and court costs. Contractors must select either a timeframe option, covering all contracts and purchase orders performed for the City within specified dates (up to five years), or a project-specific option limited to a particular bid number, purchase order, or contract date. The agreement requires contractors and subcontractors to waive subrogation rights for all required insurance policies and permits the City to release the contractor from all claims upon acceptance of final payment.
The agreement includes a savings clause ensuring compliance with Florida Statutes Sections 725.06 and 725.08, which govern indemnification and insurance requirements in the state. The document must be notarized and executed by an authorized representative of the contracting organization, with acknowledgment before a notary public. The template was revised on December 30, 2025, and is applicable to the City of Lakeland's Public Safety Scheduling and Timekeeping Software procurement, which has a budgetary estimate of $150,000 for year-one licensing and setup costs and $75,000 for annual license renewals. This standard indemnification form protects the municipality while ensuring contractor compliance with Florida law governing liability limitations and insurance requirements.

Hold Harmless/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 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 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 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.

Subrogation: The Contractor and his Subcontractors agree by entering into this contract to a Waiver of Subrogation for each required policy herein.

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.
