The contractor and the BOROUGH of RED BANK, (hereafter “BOROUGH”) do hereby agree that
the provisions of Title 11 of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "Act") (42 U.S.C. S121

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

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

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 contractor’s
obligations assumed in this Agreement, nor shall they be construed to relieve the contractor from any
liability, nor preclude the BOROUGH from taking any other actions available to it under any other

AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990
Equal Opportunity for Individuals with Disability
The contractor and the BOROUGH of RED BANK, (hereafter “BOROUGH”) 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 BOROUGH 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 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 owner’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 contractor’s
obligations assumed in this Agreement, nor shall they be construed to relieve the contractor from any
liability, nor preclude the BOROUGH from taking any other actions available to it under any other
provisions of the Agreement or otherwise at law.
