With respect to those claims arising from a professional error or omission, Consultant shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless the City (including its elected officials, officers, employees, and volunteers) from all claims, losses, and damages arising from the professionally negligent acts, errors or omissions of Consultant, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault. Consultant's obligation under this section does not extend to that portion of a claim caused in whole or in part by the sole negligence or willful misconduct of the City. Docusign Envelope ID: 9FE34CCB-3A9F-4EAB-A1C4-3DF71D060DD1 Consulting Services Agreement between City of Dublin and 7/1/2025 Callander Associates for On-Call Landscape Architect Services Page 10 of 18 Consultant shall also indemnify, defend and hold harmless the City from all suits or claims for infringement of any patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trade names, trademarks, service marks, or any other proprietary rights of any person or persons because of the City or any of its officers, employees, volunteers, or agents use of articles, products things, or services supplied in the performance of Consultant’s services under this Agreement, however, the cost to defend charged to Consultant shall not exceed Consultant’s proportionate percentage fault.

The Consultant’s obligation to defend and indemnify shall not be excused because of the Consultant’s inability to evaluate Liability or because the Consultant evaluates Liability and determines that the Consultant is not liable to the claimant. The Consultant must respond within 30 days to the tender of any claim for defense and indemnity by the City. If the Consultant fails to accept or reject a tender of defense and indemnity within 30 days, in addition to any other remedy authorized by law, so much of the money due the Consultant under and by virtue of this Agreement as shall reasonably be considered necessary by the City, may be retained by the City until disposition has been made of the claim or suit for damages, or until the Consultant accepts or rejects the tender of defense, whichever occurs first.
