APPENDIX A
AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990
Equal Opportunity for Individuals with Disability
The contractor and the Township of Belleville, (hereafter “owner”) do hereby agree that the provisions of Title 11 of
the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "Act") (42 U.S.C. S121 01 et seq.), which prohibits discrimination on
the basis of disability by public entities in all services, programs, and activities provided or made available by public
entities, and the rules and regulations promulgated pursuant there unto, are made a part of this contract. In providing
any aid, benefit, or service on behalf of the owner pursuant to this contract, the contractor agrees that the
performance shall be in strict compliance with the Act. In the event that the contractor, its agents, servants,
employees, or subcontractors violate or are alleged to have violated the Act during the performance of this contract,
the contractor shall defend the owner in any action or administrative proceeding commenced pursuant to this Act. The
contractor shall indemnify, protect, and save harmless the owner, its agents, servants, and employees from and
against any and all suits, claims, losses, demands, or damages, of whatever kind or nature arising out of or claimed to
arise out of the alleged violation. The contractor shall, at its own expense, appear, defend, and pay any and all
charges for legal services and any and all costs and other expenses arising from such action or administrative
proceeding or incurred in connection therewith. In any and all complaints brought pursuant to the owner’s grievance
procedure, the contractor agrees to abide by any decision of the owner which is rendered pursuant to said grievance
procedure. If any action or administrative proceeding results in an award of damages against the owner, or if the
owner incurs any expense to cure a violation of the ADA which has been brought pursuant to its grievance procedure,
the contractor shall satisfy and discharge the same at its own expense.
The owner shall, as soon as practicable after a claim has been made against it, give written notice thereof to the
contractor along with full and complete particulars of the claim, If any action or administrative proceeding is brought
against the owner or any of its agents, servants, and employees, the owner shall expeditiously forward or have
forwarded to the contractor every demand, complaint, notice, summons, pleading, or other process received by the
owner or its representatives.
It is expressly agreed and understood that any approval by the owner of the services provided by the contractor
pursuant to this contract will not relieve the contractor of the obligation to comply with the Act and to defend,
indemnify, protect, and save harmless the owner pursuant to this paragraph.
It is further agreed and understood that the owner assumes no obligation to indemnify or save harmless the
contractor, its agents, servants, employees and subcontractors for any claim which may arise out of their performance
of this Agreement. Furthermore, the contractor expressly understands and agrees that the provisions of this
indemnification clause shall in no way limit the contractor’s obligations assumed in this Agreement, nor shall they be
construed to relieve the contractor from any liability, nor preclude the owner from taking any other actions available to
it under any other provisions of the Agreement or otherwise at law.
