7. INDEMNIFICATION:

City Council Meeting · 2026-05-12 · agenda_item

This item concerns an indemnification clause related to a purchase order for goods or services. The seller agrees to protect and hold harmless the City of Cocoa, its officials, and employees from all claims, damages, and liabilities. This includes losses arising from negligence, breach of contract, defective materials or workmanship, or failure of goods to perform as specified. This is a contractual matter currently under review as part of a purchase order process. The work involved would be the provision of goods or services as detailed in the purchase order, with the seller responsible for any issues arising from their performance. Local contractors, trades, suppliers, and service providers are encouraged to engage early to understand potential contractual obligations and opportunities related to future purchase orders with the City of Cocoa. Understanding these terms before bids or contracts are finalized can provide a competitive advantage.
