to the extent they are resulting from or arising out of any negligent or
willful act or omission on the part of the Consultant or Consultant’s sub-
contractors, employees, agents or sub-contractors 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 for a period of five (5) years.
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 Con sultant 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 suits
brought upon such Losses and must pay costs and expenses incidental to
them, if proven liable, 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 agrees to indemnify, defend,

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
Ill. 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 sub-consultants’ 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 for a period of five
(5) years.
L. 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 requ irements set forth

The City may also require Consultant to provide copies of the Additional
Insured Endorsement to said policy (ies) which name the City as an

issued to the City in 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
Doc ID: e304708d21f77762f96c838c3c1a3d97d08ab04c

understands that the acceptance of certificates, policies and any other
documents by the City in no way releases the Consultant and it s sub-
contractors 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
