26. Indemnification.

Regular Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns an indemnification clause for a Grantee, which is a party receiving a grant. The clause details the Grantee's responsibility for actions of its agents, employees, partners, subrecipients, or contractors. It requires the Grantee to defend and hold harmless the State and the Department from various suits, damages, and costs related to personal injury or property damage, with exceptions for the State's or Department's negligence. The clause also covers intellectual property infringement claims. This item is currently under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The scope of work involves legal review and contract negotiation. Local businesses that could be involved include legal services for contract review and potentially firms that provide services under the grant, who would need to understand these indemnification terms. Engaging early with the granting agency could provide clarity on the specific nature of the grant and its associated requirements.
