without the prior written approval of City, provided, however, that Consultant may retain
copies of the same for Consultant’s own general reference.
I. Payment. Invoices for payment shall be submitted by Consultant to City at the
address set forth above, together with reasonable supporting documentation, City may
require such additional supporting documentation as City reasonably deems necessary or

and in connection with the audit respecting such invoice.
K. Indemnity. Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City and its
officers, elected and appointed officials, agents, and employees from any and all liability,
losses, or damages as a result of claims, demands, suits, action s, 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 Consultan t’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.
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 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 se ttlement 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
Doc ID: 18165ffe731b97b58766ee04e489c52bce1b57e2
41
Revised 03-02-2023
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 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.
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 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) comprehensive automobile
liability insurance covering owned, non-owned and 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. Co nsultant
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 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 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
losses, attorney’s fees and costs expended in pursuing a remedy or reimbursement, at law
or in equity, against Consultant.
Consultant acknowledges and agrees that if it fails to comply with all requirements of this

not identified by City as confidential, (ii) not to disclose any such information or make
available any reports, recommendations and /or conclusions which Consultant may make
for City to any person, firm or corporation or use the same in any manner whatsoever
without first obtaining City’s written approval, and (iii) not to disclose to City any information
obtained by Consultant on a confidential basis from any third party unless Consultant shall
have first received written permission from such third party to disclose such information.
Pursuant to the Illinois Freedom of Information Act, 5 ILCS 140/7(2), records in the
possession of others whom the City has contracted with to perform a governmental function
are covered by the Act and subject to disclosure within limited statutory timeframes (five (5)
working days with a possible five (5) working day extension). Upon notification from the C ity
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 t imeframe. The City and the
Consultant shall cooperate to determine what records are subject to such a request and
whether or not any exemption 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 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.
N. Use of City’s Name or Picture of Property. Consultant shall not in the course of
performance of this Agreement or thereafter use or permit the use of City’s name nor the
