About this file
This is an indemnification agreement template issued by the City of Lakeland, Florida, for vendors providing products or services under purchase orders and contracts with the municipality. The agreement requires vendors to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, its officers, directors, agents, and employees from all liabilities, damages, losses, and costs—including direct, indirect, and consequential damages—arising from any acts of negligence, recklessness, or intentional wrongful misconduct related to the vendor's products or services. The indemnification obligation extends to claims involving vendor employees and third parties employed directly or indirectly by the vendor and supersedes limitations imposed by workers' compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or insurance coverage limitations. Vendors must select either a timeframe (up to five years) during which the agreement applies to all contracts and purchase orders with the City, or specify particular projects identified by bid number, purchase order/requisition number, or contract date.
The agreement includes provisions requiring vendors to waive subrogation rights through insurance policy endorsements when permitted by insurers and to release the City from all claims upon acceptance of final payment. The indemnification terms are subject to modification to comply with Florida Statutes Sections 725.06 and 725.08, which establish limits on indemnification obligations in certain circumstances. The document requires notarization with acknowledgment before a notary public and must be executed by the vendor organization's owner or authorized officer. The City of Lakeland's Risk & Purchasing Director, Joyce Dias, administers this agreement, with the document revised as of December 30, 2025.

Hold Harmless/Indemnification
Vendor To the fullest extent permitted by laws and regulations, and in consideration of the amount stated on any Purchase Order, the Vendor 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, recklessness or intentional wrongful misconduct related to the product by the Vendor or any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by Vendor in furnishing the product 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 Vendor, any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by Vendor in furnishing the product 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 Vendor 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 or the Vendor. 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 Vendor agrees 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 Vendor to enter into a pre-loss agreement to waive subrogation without an endorsement, then Vendor 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 Vendor enter into such an agreement on a pre-loss basis.
Release of Liability: Acceptance by the Vendor 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.

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.
