City Commission Regular Meeting · 2026-05-04 · agenda_item

This item concerns a standard contract clause for the City of DeLand regarding patents, copyrights, and royalties. It requires suppliers and providers to protect the City from any claims related to intellectual property used in their goods or services. The clause states that the quoted price must include all royalty costs. This item is currently under review as part of a City Commission meeting agenda. The scope of work involves legal review and contract negotiation for future city procurements. This process will set the terms for all future contracts involving patented or copyrighted materials. Local businesses that provide legal services or consulting on contract terms may find opportunities. Engaging early with city procurement or legal departments could provide insight into upcoming contract needs.
