The monetary limitation of liability under this contract shall be equal to the dollar value of the contract and not less than $1 million per occurrence pursuant to Section 725.06, Florida Statutes. The limits of liability shall be as set forth in the insurance requirements included in this Agreement. Insofar as the claims, actions, causes of action, litigation, proceedings, costs or expenses relate to events or circumstances that occur during the term of this Agreement, this section will survive the expiration of the term of this Agreement or any earlier termination of this Agreement. In the event that the completion of the project (to include the work of others) is delayed or suspended as a result of the Contractor’s failure to purchase or maintain the required insurance, the Contractor shall indemnify the County from any and all increased expenses resulting from such delay. Should any claims be asserted against the County by virtue of any deficiency or ambiguity in the plans and specifications provided by the Contractor, the Contractor agrees and warrants that the Contractor shall hold the County harmless and shall indemnify it from all losses occurring thereby and shall further defend any claim or action on the County’s behalf. The extent of liability is in no way limited to, reduced, or lessened by the insurance requirements contained elsewhere within this Agreement. This indemnification shall survive the termination of this Contract. Nothing contained in this paragraph is intended to nor shall it constitute a waiver of the County’s sovereign immunity. y) Section Headings.

In this regard, all recipients and contractors shall take all necessary and reasonable steps in accordance with applicable federal and state laws and regulations to ensure that DBE’s have the opportunity to compete and perform contracts.

(2) A public agency that has a good faith belief that a subcontractor knowingly violated this subsection, but the Bidder otherwise complied with this subsection, shall promptly notify the Bidder and order the Bidder to immediately terminate the contract with the subcontractor. (3) A contract terminated under this paragraph is not a breach of contract and may not be considered as such. If a public agency terminates a contract with a Bidder under this paragraph, the Bidder may not be awarded a public contract for at least 1 year after the date on which the contract was terminated. A Bidder is liable for any additional costs incurred by a public agency as a result of the termination of a contract.” Page 14 of 19 ee) Entire Agreement.
