actions, or proceedings of any kind or nature, including but not limited to costs,
and fees, including attorney's fees, judgments or settlements, resulting from or
arising out of any negligent or willful act or omission on the part of the Consultant
or Consultant's subcontractors, employees, agents or subcontractors during the
performance of this Agreement. Such indemnification shall not be limited by
reason of the enumeration of any insurance coverage herein provided. This
provision shall survive completion, expiration, or termination of this Agreement.
Nothing contained herein shall be construed as prohibiting the City, or its
officers, agents, or employees, from defending through the selection and use of
their own agents, attorneys, and experts, any claims, actions or suits brought
against them. The Consultant shall be liable for the costs, fees, and expenses
incurred in the defense of any such claims, actions, or suits. Nothing herein shall
be construed as a limitation or waiver of defenses available to the City and
employees and agents, including but not limited to the Illinois Local
Governmental and Governmental Employees Tort Immunity Act, 745 ILCS 10/1-
101 et seq.
At the City Corporation Counsel's option, Consultant must defend all suits
brought upon all such Losses and must pay all costs and expenses incidental to
Revised 10/2011 5
them, but the City has the right, at its option, to participate, at its own cost, in the
defense of any suit, without relieving Consultant of any of its obligations under
this Agreement. Any settlement of any claim or suit related to this Agreement by
Consultant must be made only with the prior written consent of the City
Corporation Counsel, if the settlement requires any action on the part of the City.
To the extent permissible by law, Consultant waives any limits to the
amount of its obligations to indemnify, defend, or contribute to any sums due
under any Losses, including any claim by any employee of Consultant that may
be subject to the Illinois Workers Compensation Act, 820 ILCS 305/1 et seq. or
any other related law or judicial decision, including but not limited to, Kotecki v.
Cyclops Welding Corporation, 146 III. 2d 155 (1991). The City, however, does not
waive any limitations it may have on its liability under the Illinois Workers
Compensation Act, the Illinois Pension Code or any other statute.
Consultant shall be responsible for any losses and costs to repair or
remedy work performed under this Agreement resulting from or arising out of any
act or omission, neglect, or misconduct in the performance of its Work or its
subconsultants' work. Acceptance of the work by the City will not relieve the
Consultant of the responsibility for subsequent correction of any such error,
omissions and/or negligent acts or of its liability for loss or damage resulting
therefrom. All provisions of this Section shall survive completion, expiration, or
termination of this Agreement.
J. Insurance. Consultant shall carry and maintain at its own cost with such
companies as are reasonably acceptable to City all necessary liability insurance
(which shall include as a minimum the requirements set forth below) during the
term of this Agreement, for damages caused or contributed to by Consultant, and
insuring Consultant against claims which may arise out of or result from
Consultant's performance or failure to perform the Services hereunder: (1)
worker's compensation in statutory limits and employer's liability insurance in the
amount of at least $500,000, (2) comprehensive general liability coverage, and
designating City as additional insured for not less than $3,000,000 combined
single limit for bodily injury, death and property damage, per occurrence, (3)

leased vehicles for not less than $1,000,000 combined single limit for bodily
injury, death or property damage, per occurrence, and (4) errors and omissions
or professional liability insurance respecting any insurable professional services
hereunder in the amount of at least $1,000,000. Consultant shall give to the City
certificates of insurance for all Services done pursuant to this Agreement before
Consultant performs any Services, and, if requested by City, certified copies of
the policies of insurance evidencing the coverage and amounts set forth in this
Section. The City may also require Consultant to provide copies of the Additional
Insured Endorsement to said policy(ies) which name the City as an Additional
Insured for all of Consultant's Services and work under this Agreement. Any
limitations or modification on the certificate of insurance issued to the City in
Revised 10/2011 6
compliance with this Section that conflict with the provisions of this Section shall
have no force and effect. Consultant's certificate of insurance shall contain a
provision that the coverage afforded under the policy(s) will not be canceled or
reduced without thirty (30) days prior written notice (hand delivered or registered
mail) to City. Consultant understands that the acceptance of certificates, policies
and any other documents by the City in no way releases the Consultant and its
subcontractors from the requirements set forth herein. Consultant expressly
agrees to waive its rights, benefits and entitlements under the "Other Insurance'
clause of its commercial general liability insurance policy as respects the City. In
the event Consultant fails to purchase or procure insurance as required above,
the parties expressly agree that Consultant shall be in default under this
Agreement, and that the City may recover all losses, attorney's fees and costs
expended in pursuing a remedy or reimbursement, at law or in equity, against
Consultant.

limited statutory timeframes (five (5) working days with a possible five (5) working
day extension). Upon notification from the City that it has received a Freedom of
Information Act request that calls for records within the Consultant's control, the
Consultant shall promptly provide all requested records to the City so that the
City may comply with the request within the required timeframe. The City and the
Consultant shall cooperate to determine what records are subject to such a
request and whether or not any exemptions to the disclosure of such records, or
part thereof, is applicable. Vendor shall indemnify and defend the City from and
against all claims arising from the City's exceptions to disclosing certain records
which Vendor may designate as proprietary or confidential. Compliance by the
City with an opinion or a directive from the Illinois Public Access Counselor or the
Revised 10/2011 7
Attorney General under FOIA, or with a decision or order of Court with jurisdiction
over the City, shall not be a violation of this Section.
