Page 11 of 31

excluding any employees or agents of Customer.
Indemnification - Negligence. The Vendor agrees to defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the City, its trustees, elected and appointed officers, agents, servants and
employees, from and against any and all claims, demands, or causes of action of
whatsoever kind or nature, and the resulting losses, costs, expenses, reasonable attorneys'
fees, liabilities, damages, orders, judgments, or decrees ("Losses"), sustained by the City
or any third party arising out of, or by reason of, or resulting from the Vendor's negligent
acts, errors, or omissions, except to the extent such Losses arise from the negligence of
the City or City's employees, officers or agents. In the event that a court of competent
jurisdiction determines that the provisions of Sec. 725.06, F.S., and / or Sec. 725.08 ,
F.S., apply to this Agreement, then, in such event, Vendor shall defend, indemnify and
hold harmless City and City's officers, employees and agents only to the fullest extent

copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right relating to services furnished pursuant to this
Agreement. The Vendor will defend and/or settle at its own expense, with legal counsel
reasonably acceptable to the City, any action brought against the City to the extent that it is based
on a claim that products or services furnished to City by the Vendor pursuant to this Agreement,
or if any portion of the services or goods related to the performance of the service becomes
unusable as a result of any such infringement or claim. Any infringement or claim that renders
any portion of the services to be performed by this agreement to be unusable, or materially
affects the Vendor's Red Light System as functionally described herein, shall be grounds for a
default of this Agreement.
10.2 The parties recognize that various provisions of this Agreement, including but not
necessarily limited to this Section, provide for indemnification to be provided by the
Vendor and agree that in the event that the law is construed to require a specific
consideration to be given therefore, the parties therefore agree that the sum ofTen Dollars
and 00/1 00 ($10.00), receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, is the specific consideration
for such indemnities, and the providing of such indemnities is deemed to be part of the
specifications with respect to the services to be provided by Vendor. Furthermore, the
parties understand and agree that the covenants and representations relating to this
indemnification provision shall survive the term of this Agreement and continue in full force

10.4 Notice of Claims. If the City or Vendor receives notice of any claim or
circumstances which may give rise to an indemnified loss under this Section 10, the
receiving party shall give written notice to the other party within ten (10) days of receipt.
The notice must include the following:
(a) a description of the indemnification event in reasonable detail,
(b) the basis on which indemnification may be due, and
(c) the anticipated amount of the indemnified loss.
This notice does not estop or prevent the City from later asserting a different basis
for indemnification or a different amount of indemnified loss than that indicated in
the initial notice. If the City does not provide this notice within the ten (10) day
period, it does not waive any right to indemnification except to the extent that
Vendor is directly prejudiced, suffers loss, or incurs expense because of the delay.
11.0 Independent Contractor. This Agreement does not create an employee/employer

contractor under this Agreement and not the City's employee for all purposes, including but not
limited to, the application of the Fair Labor Standards Act minimum wage and overtime
payments, Federal Insurance Contribution Act, the Social Security Act, the Federal
Unemployment Tax Act, the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, the State Workers
Compensation Act, and the State unemployment insurance law. The Vendor shall retain sole and

services rendered under this Agreement shall be those of Vendor, which policies of Vendor shall
not conflict with City, or United States policies, rules or regulations relating to the use of
Vendor's funds provided for herein. The Vendor agrees that it is a separate and independent
enterprise from the City, that it has full opportunity to find other business, that it has made its
own investment in its business, and that it will utilize a high level of skill necessary to perform
the work. This Agreement shall not be construed as creating any joint employment relationship
between the Vendor and the City and the City will not be liable for any obligation incurred by
Vendor, including but not limited to unpaid minimum wages and/or overtime premiums.
12.0 Assignments; Amendments. This Agreement, or any interest herein, shall not be assigned,
transferred or otherwise encumbered, under any circumstances, by either party, including without

MEMORANDUM
Honorable Mayor and Commission
John Szerlag, City Manager
Jorge Vera, Assistant City Manager
Rick Conner, Director of Public Works
July 17,2008
Approval of Agreement with American Traffic Solutions (A TS) for the
Installation of Red Light Cameras
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City consider the attached entering into an agreement with A TS, at no cost to
the City, for the installation of Red Light Cameras.
REASONS
There has been concern for some time now about drivers ignoring the traffic signals on Collins A venue
and in particular, running the red lights. The staff has been analyzing the available options to see how we
could address this concern. We believe the best option is to utilize the company that has been selected by
our neighbor cities on the west and on the south. We all agree that this would give continuous video
coverage to our police departments, as well as getting a benefit of scale. Under these programs, the
company installing the system pays all of the costs and then shares in the revenues generated by the fines.
It is our desire to see accidents and potential accidents significantly reduced by educating drivers as to the
need to observe traffic signals.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
There is no cost for this project.
There will be no annual operation and maintenance costs.
The expected time for completion is winter 2008.
