The contractor and the _____________ of _______________, (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

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.
