Equal Opportunity for Individuals with Disabilities
The contractor and Fanwood Borough (hereinafter the “Borough”) do hereby agree that the
provisions of Title II of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “Act” or “ADA”), 42
U.S.C. §12101 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 thereunto, are made a part of this contract. In
providing any aid, benefit, or service on behalf of the Borough pursuant to this contract, the

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 Borough
in any action or administrative proceeding commenced pursuant to this Act. The contractor shall
indemnify, protect, and save harmless the Borough, 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 Borough’s grievance procedure, the
contractor agrees to abide by any decision of the Borough which is rendered pursuant to said
grievance procedure. If any action or administrative proceeding results in an award of damages
against the Borough or if the Borough 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 Borough 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 Borough or any of its agents, servants
and employees, the Borough shall expeditiously forward or have forwarded to the contractor
every demand, complaint, notice, summons, pleading, or other process received by the Borough
or its representatives.
It is expressly agreed and understood that any approval by the Borough 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 Borough pursuant
to this paragraph.
It is further agreed and understood that the Borough 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

to attest, under penalty of perjury, that neither the person or entity, nor any parent entity, subsidiary, or
affiliate, is identified on the Department of Treasury's Russia-Belarus list or Chapter 25 list as a person or

can be amended or extended, a person or entity must certify that neither the person or entity, nor any parent
entity, subsidiary, or affiliate, is identified on the Department of Treasury's Russia-Belarus list. Both lists are

activities in Russia or Belarus and/or investment activities in Iran. The person or entity must cease engaging
in any prohibited activities and provide an updated certification before the contract can be entered into.
If a vendor or contractor is found to be in violation of law, action may be taken as appropriate and as may be
provided by law, rule, or contract, including but not limited to imposing sanctions, seeking compliance,
recovering damages, declaring the party in default, and seeking debarment or suspension of the party.

entities engaged in prohibited activities in Russia or Belarus pursuant to P.L. 2022,
c. 3 or in investment activities in Iran pursuant to P.L. 2012, c. 25 ("Chapter 25 List").
