MEMORANDUM 

TO: MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION 

FROM: CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE 

DATE: January 4, 2016 

RE: Approval to Procure Services with SCR-Tech to Regenerate 

Catalyst Layers for McIntosh Power Plant Unit 3 Selective 

Catalytic Reduction Reactor System 

 Attached hereto for your consideration is a proposal to procure services with 

SCR-Tech to regenerate catalyst layers for the Unit 3 Selective Catalytic 

Reduction (SCR) Reactor System at Lakeland Electric’s McIntosh Power Plant. 

The SCR, which has been in service since November 2009, now requires that the 

catalyst layers either be replaced or regenerated due to its age. 

Accordingly, the City’s Purchasing Department issued Invitation to Bid (ITB) 

No. 5266A with two (2) bid options. The first option was to furnish one (1) new 

replacement catalyst layer per SCR reactor. The second option was to purchase a 

combination catalyst that would assist with both NOx and mercury emissions 

control. However, upon further evaluation, staff does not recommend the second 

option as the cost is more expensive and Lakeland Electric’s existing mercury 

reduction program is very successful. Initially, staff planned to replace one layer in 

2016 and another in 2017. However, the cost to regenerate one layer of catalyst 

was found to be significantly less expensive than procuring a new replacement 

layer. Therefore, Lakeland Electric seeks to regenerate two (2) layers of catalyst 

in 2016 during the scheduled Unit 3 Spring 2016 Outage. A total of six (6) bidders 

responded to the City’s ITB: 
 

All of the bids were evaluated by Lakeland Electric staff based on a vendor’s 

ability to meet the City’s bid criteria, specifications, qualifications and schedule. 

SCR-Tech was selected as the most responsive responsible lowest cost bidder, 

with staff selecting Option 1C, which involves the regeneration of existing catalyst 

layers. Services are scheduled to commence upon approval by the City 

Commission and issuance of a purchase order. All terms/conditions will be in 

accordance with the City’s bid specifications. Thereafter, catalyst regeneration will 

begin February 27, 2016 and is anticipated to be completed by April 20, 2016. 

Specifically, the catalyst layers will be removed and shipped to the SCR-Tech 

facility, chemically regenerated to a like new condition, returned and then reinstalled. SCR-Tech will regenerate two (2) existing catalyst layers at a total cost 

of $501,660.00. The removal and re-installation of the catalyst layers will be 

performed by City staff. These costs are approved and budgeted in Lakeland 

Electric’s FY2016 budget. 

 

 It is recommended that the appropriate City officials be authorized to 

approve the procurement of services with SCR-Tech to regenerate catalyst layers 

for the Unit 3 Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) Reactor System at Lakeland 

Electric’s McIntosh Power Plant.

3.0 TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

3.1 UNIT 3 DESCRIPTION AND SCR BACKGROUND INFORMATION

a. McIntosh Power Plant Unit # 3 has a design maximum gross output capacity is 

364 MW (100% MCR). The design minimum gross unit output capacity is 180 

MW. The steam generator is a balanced draft design operating at subcritical 

pressure originally supplied by Babcock & Wilcox. The furnace is front and rear 

wall fired. The steam generator is designed to deliver steam at a nominal rating of 

2,476,952 lb/hr at 2,458 psia, 1,005 °F, with single reheat to 1,005 °F. The boiler 

is designed to be fired with 100% Pulverized Coal. The furnace is 43’-0 3⁄4” Ft 

wide x 45 Ft deep. The unit was originally designed to fire a bituminous coal but 

is currently firing bituminous coals from Eastern North America and South 

America. The fly ash loss-on-ignition (LOI) values generally are between 3% to 

6% depending on the fuel blend. Start-up and shut-down of the boiler will be 

performed with the catalyst in the gas flow path. This unit experiences 

approximately 15 to 20 starts per year with 25% of the starts being cold startups 

with a typical forced outage duration of 96 hours. Ignition and warm-up fuel is 

natural gas. Unit performance parameters are listed in Attachments B (Operating 

Load Cases) and C (Coal Specification).

b. Unit 3 has two (2) SCR reactors. Each SCR reactor is installed in a high dust 

environment as it is located between the economizer outlet and the air preheater 

inlet and upstream of the electrostatic precipitator. Large Particle Ash (LPA) 

screens for filtration of “popcorn” fly ash are installed at the economizer outlet. 

Each SCR reactor can hold a maximum of four (4) layers of catalysts. Initial 

installation was completed in the Spring 2009 Outage with three (3) catalyst 

layers loaded per SCR reactor. The fourth (bottom) layer has been empty. The 

new replacement layer will be combined with the two (2) existing layers per SCR

reactor. Sonic horns are installed to keep fly ash particles entrained in the flue gas 

and to pass through the catalyst layers. All three (3) catalyst layers per SCR

reactor are from the initial installation. Anhydrous ammonia is the reagent used 

for the SCR and is diluted with dilution air. Static mixers and turning vanes have 

been installed. Flue gas flow is vertically downward from top catalyst layer to 

bottom catalyst layer in each SCR reactor. Economizer modifications or feed 

water circuit modifications are not planned to elevate flue gas temperatures to 

expand the operating range of the SCR. The SCR system is designed without a 

reactor bypass. Drawings of the reactor and ductwork design are in Attachment A 

(Reference Drawings).

3.2 REPLACEMENT SCR CATALYST MODULES

The following is a more detailed description of the Vendor’s responsibility of work.

a. Vendor shall design, manufacture, store, remove from storage, furnish and 

deliver SCR catalyst modules FOB to the jobsite for installation by others in the 

reactor vessels of the Unit. 
Specification No. 15015 Rev. 1 12/14/15 Page 4

b. Vendor shall design the catalyst modules in accordance with the requirements of 

this specification to uniquely accommodate the Coal Specification (Attachment 

C) and Operating Load Cases (Attachment B).

c. Vendor shall guarantee catalyst performance while burning all combinations of 

fuels specified herein. Vendor shall not be required to predict NOX inlet levels 

based upon fuel analysis, but rather use those levels stated herein for the basis of 

the guarantee(s). 

d. All catalyst modules shall be designed for a High Dust (i.e., upstream of the 

electrostatic precipitator (ESP)) environment. Vendor shall note that under many 

operating conditions this fly ash may have a high fraction of larger size particles 

sometimes referred to as "popcorn" fly ash. Vendor shall consider the High Dust 

environment in its design to minimize catalyst pluggage and the associated gas 

side pressure drop guarantee.

e. Vendor shall design SCR catalyst modules for an operating range from minimum 

load to 100% maximum continuous rating (MCR) as detailed in Attachment B 

(Operating Load Cases) and Attachment C (Coal Specification). Currently, the 

Owner is operating the Unit at a capacity factor of 45%, which means majority 

of the time the Unit is operating at minimum load (180 MW) and will 

occasionally operate at intermediate load (270 MW) and maximum load (365 

MW) based on demand. Therefore, SCR catalyst modules must function 

properly at the lowest SCR inlet temperature at minimum load. Additionally, the 

flue gas velocity will be the lowest at minimum load. The flue gas velocity 

needs to stay above the fly ash settling velocity, so that the fly ash remains 

suspended in the flue gas. Vendor shall size the openings of the SCR catalyst 

modules such that sufficient velocity is maintained to allow the suspended fly 

ash in the flue gas pass through the openings and not plug up on each 

replacement SCR catalyst layer from minimum load to maximum load. Vendor 

shall also provide the lowest minimum operating temperature that the SCR 

catalyst modules will operate at even if it is lower than the lowest minimum 

operating temperature at minimum load. 

f. Vendor shall provide a curve or curves of minimum operating temperature for 

the SCR catalyst(s) versus % sulfur in the coal on an as-received basis. The 

curve or curves shall have equation(s) that can be easily programmed by Owner 

into the Owner’s DCS.

g. Vendor shall design SCR catalyst modules in accordance with the requirements 

of this specification to accommodate the range of fuel and ash properties present 

with operation with any of the fuels and shall use those fuel and ash properties as 

provided in Attachment C (Coal Specification) and Attachment B (Operating 

Load Cases) to establish the worst case design parameters for both NOx and 

Mercury. 

h. Vendor shall design each SCR catalyst layer so that the ammonia slip will not 

exceed 2 ppmvd @ 3% O2 over the guaranteed life.

i. Vendor shall select the pitch in accordance with Attachment C (Coal 

Specification) and to avoid dust and particulate plugging problems. The existing 

SCR NOx catalysts have a nominal open area of 80%. Ash samples from air 

heater hoppers and ESP hoppers are available upon request.
Specification No. 15015 Rev. 1 12/14/15 Page 5

j. Sonic horn system has been used to keep the fly ash entrained in the flue gas so 

that it passes through the catalyst layers.

k. Reactor will have a fixed plan area, as shown in Attachment A (Reference 

Drawings). Vendor shall design catalyst modules per layer to fit through 

existing access door opening and fit inside the existing dimensions of each SCR

reactor.

l. Vendor shall design and fabricate the catalyst modules identically and specify 

the total number of modules per layer.

m. In order to conduct test coupon testing (has been conducted by Owner on an 

annual basis), it is required that a number of catalyst modules be furnished with 

easily removable samples that are representative of the catalyst charge as a 

whole. Vendor and Owner shall mutually agree on sample locations. Vendor 

shall provide a drawing detailing the placement of test modules within the 

replacement layer per SCR reactor. Vendor shall provide test coupons and one 

complete set of replacement test coupons shall be supplied by Vendor in 

sufficient quantities through the guarantee term. 

n. The SCR catalyst activity shall be demonstrated by laboratory testing by Others 

of catalyst samples taken from the reactors during the Vendor stated guarantee 

period. The SCR catalyst samples are taken from the reactors during the annual 

scheduled outage. Therefore, laboratory testing of the catalyst samples will be 

done annually and handled by the Owner. Owner will track and plot the relative 

activity (taken from the annual laboratory test reports) versus operating hours for 

each replacement SCR catalyst layer during the guarantee period. Vendor shall 

provide the relative activity limit for each replacement layer. When the relative 

activity reaches this limit for a replacement catalyst layer, the replacement of that 

layer needs to be considered. Each replacement catalyst layer shall operate 

above the relative activity limit during the guarantee period. Vendor shall 

provide warranty for each replacement catalyst layer if the relative activity drops 

below the limit during the guarantee period. 

o. The SCR catalyst modules shall be constructed of suitable corrosion and erosion 

resistant materials designed for long service life when exposed to the design 

conditions specified herein.

p. The catalyst modules will sit upon heavy-duty grating. All catalyst performance 

guarantees shall be based on the use of grating to support catalyst modules. 

Catalyst pressure drop guarantees shall include any pressure drop due to the 

internal grating. Vendor shall provide each SCR catalyst layer with an initial 

pressure drop of 0.70 inches W.G. or less.

q. Vendor shall design SCR catalyst layers such that permanent deformation of the 

catalyst or support material, shall not occur due to stresses induced by the design 

seismic conditions (for the geographic area of the specified power plants), flow 

conditions, pressure conditions, thermal conditions, fly ash loading conditions, 

and sonic horn devices.

r. The catalyst formulation shall minimize poisoning caused by trace elements. 

Vendor shall bring to the attention of the Owner any conflicts regarding trace 

elements and/or other parameters in the Coal Specification (Attachment C) and 
Specification No. 15015 Rev. 1 12/14/15 Page 6

state those conflicts as bid exceptions.

s. Each module shall include a carbon steel frame with suitable lifting lugs to lift it 

vertically from the ground up to the appropriate level of the SCR structure. The 

design and fabrication of the steel framework shall be in accordance with the 

requirements of the AISC Agreement for the Design, Fabrication and Erection of 

Structural Steel for Buildings. Structural welding shall conform to the Structural 

Welding Code AWS D1.1. Vendor’s design shall verify that all framework 

materials are compatible with the catalyst material.

t. Owner will use pallet jacks to transport the modules around on the level. Vendor 

shall provide lifting specifications for a pallet jack. 

u. The SCR catalyst modules shall be complete and include all accessories such as 

the support casing, screens, lifting lugs integral with module, and special 

equipment needed for unloading, loading and installation into the reactor. Seal 

strips shall be shipped loose for installation in the field. 

v. Vendor shall supply assembled catalyst module packages with integral steel 

frames and appropriate gas sealing devices within the modules and between 

reactor walls and modules. Gas sealing devices between the installed modules 

and between reactor walls and modules shall be shipped loose for field 

installation. Vendor shall provide design drawing(s) of the seals shall be 

provided for sealing of the catalyst levels (along the walls of the reactor and 

between the catalyst modules) to prevent gas bypass and to prevent ash build up 

on seal surfaces. 

w. Each catalyst module shall provide, as a minimum, sufficient rigidity to support 

the combined ash and pressure loading resulting from pluggage of 20 percent of 

the catalyst module open area.

x. Vendor shall furnish a heavy gauge screen of finer mesh than catalyst pitch on 

each module face to help prevent catalyst pluggage and for ease of internal 

maintenance and inspection. The screen and module construction shall permit 

application of a 25 psf live load without damage to either component as may be 

applied by inspection personnel and equipment. Screening shall be continuous 

across the entire level. The screen shall be designed to prevent localized 

accumulation of fly ash.

y. Vendor shall provide catalyst modules transportation, handling, short-term 

storage, long-term storage, and lay-up requirements. This shall include detailed 

catalyst module installation and removal instructions, test coupon removal and 

replacement instructions, and any precautions to be exercised during outages.

z. Vendor shall provide required start-up, operating, shutdown, and off-line SCR 

lay-up operating instructions and procedures under all expected operating 

conditions, including listing of alarms and interlocks, set points, abnormal 

operation, emergency shutdown, normal shutdown, periodic checks, adjustments, 

action required, etc.

aa. Vendor shall provide description of the maintenance requirements and intervals 

for inspecting and testing the reactivity of the catalyst modules.

bb. Vendor shall provide catalyst cleaning procedures during normal operation,

required. Owner reserves the right to inspect Vendor’s and Vendor’s 

Subcontractors’ manufacturing and storage facilities at any time prior to catalyst 

delivery to verify the status of production activities to ensure that the proper 

quantities of catalyst modules are in storage and that satisfactory storage 

methods have been implemented. Vendor shall rectify all deficiencies at no 

additional charge. Catalyst modules shall be stored per Vendor’s storage 

procedures, subject to Owner approval. All catalyst modules shall be 

sufficiently packaged to protect it from physical damage and moisture while in 

storage. Packaging of all catalyst modules need to protect them from outdoor 

storage prior to installation. Owner reserves the right to refuse shipment of any 

catalyst modules that have been damaged in any way during storage and/or 

shipment to the site. Vendor shall replace all damaged catalyst modules at no 

additional charge if Vendor was responsible for storage of the catalyst modules.

gg. Vendor shall state warranty provided should the catalyst not perform as expected

during its life.

to be bankrupt; (b) Vendor makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (c) 

Vendor fails to comply with any of the terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement; or 

(d) Vendor’s experiencing a labor dispute which threatens to have a substantial, adverse 

impact upon performance of this Agreement. If, during the term of this Agreement, Vendor

shall be in default of this Agreement, Owner may suspend its performance hereunder until 

such delinquency or default has been corrected; provided, however that no suspension shall be 

effective unless and until Owner gives written notice of default to Vendor with at least (10) 

days to cure such default. If Vendor fails to correct such delinquency or default, Owner may 

terminate this Agreement and pursue such remedies as may be available at law or in equity. 

Vendor shall be paid compensation for services satisfactorily performed and completed as of 

the date of termination. Owner shall not be liable for partially completed Work. In addition to 

the remedies available hereunder, the Owner shall have the right of offset from sums or 

payments otherwise due the Vendor, any sums or amounts which the Vendor may owe to the

shall reimburse the Owner for any additional expense and damage caused by such delay. In 

the event that the work is not completed by the scheduled date, the Owner shall be entitled to 

withhold final payment plus any unpaid adjustments until such time as the total amount of 

delay damages is determined and amount caused by such damages shall be withheld from the 

final payments and any unpaid adjustments then due. The withholding of said amounts from 

the final payment and any unpaid adjustments shall not impair the Owner’s right to seek 

additional remedy or compensation for damages.
Specification No. 15015 Rev. 1 12/14/15 Page 28

7.29 FORCE MAJEURE

Neither party shall be liable to the other party for failure to perform or for the delay in

reasonable control, including, but not limited to, fire, flood, strike or other labor difficulty, acts 

of any governmental authority, riot, terrorism, embargo, unavailability of railcars, wrecks or 

delay in transportation, provided that, as a condition to the claim of force majeure, the party 

experiencing the difficulty shall give the other prompt written notice, with full details 

following the occurrence of the cause relied upon. Dates by which performance obligations 

are scheduled to be met will be extended for a period of time equal to the time lost due to any 

delay so caused. Inclement and severe weather which is typical within central Florida through 

the period the Work is anticipated shall not entitle a party to claim relief by force majeure or 

for delay damages.

time to develop additional detail to the extent Owner requires. Owner will determine the 

outcome of Vendor’s claim. At all times Vendor shall proceed with the Work in 

accordance with the determinations, instructions, and clarifications of Owner while Owner

is determining the outcome of Vendor’s claim. 

c. If any requirement of the Contract is unclear to Vendor, Vendor shall be solely responsible 

for requesting instructions or interpretations and shall be solely liable for any cost and 

expenses arising from its failure to do so. 

d. Nothing set forth above shall impair Owner's rights and remedies to enforce Vendor's 

obligations under the Contract.

7.31 JURISDICTION, VENUE AND GOVERNING LAW

Jurisdiction and Venue shall be in the Courts of Polk County, Florida or the United States 

District Court in and for the Middle District of Florida, Tampa Division, in connection with

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

The City of Lakeland (the “City”) from time to time enters into agreements, leases and other contracts 

with Other Parties (as hereinafter defined).

Such Agreements shall contain at a minimum risk management/insurance terms to protect the City’s 

interests and to minimize its potential liabilities. Accordingly, the following minimum requirements shall 

apply:

CITY DEFINED

The term City (wherever it may appear) is defined to mean the City of Lakeland itself, its Commission, 

employees, volunteers, representatives and agents.

OTHER PARTY DEFINED

The term Other Party (wherever it may appear) is defined to mean the other person or entity which is the 

counter-party to the Agreement with the City and any of such Other Party’s subsidiaries, affiliates, 

officers, employees, volunteers, representatives, agents, contractors and subcontractors.

LOSS CONTROL/SAFETY

Precaution shall be exercised at all times by the Other Party for the protection of all persons, including 

employees, and property. The Other Party shall comply with all laws, rules, regulations or ordinances 

related to safety and health, and shall make special effort to anticipate and detect hazardous conditions 

and shall take such precautionary and prompt action where loss control/safety measures should 

reasonably be expected.

The City may order work to be stopped at any time, without liability, if conditions exist that present 

immediate danger to persons or property. The Other Party acknowledges that such stoppage, or failure to 

stop, will not shift responsibility for any damages from the Other Party to the City. 

INSURANCE - BASIC COVERAGES REQUIRED

The Other Party shall procure and maintain the following described insurance, except for coverage 

specifically waived by the City of Lakeland, on policies and with insurers acceptable to the City, and 

insurers with AM Best ratings of no less than A.

These insurance requirements shall in no way limit the liability of the Other Party. The City does not 

represent these minimum insurance requirements to be sufficient or adequate to protect the Other Party’s 

interests or liabilities, but are merely minimums.

"Except for workers’ compensation and professional liability, the Other Party's insurance policies shall be 

endorsed to name the City of Lakeland as additional insured. It is agreed that the Other Party's insurance 

shall be deemed primary and non-contributory with respect to any insurance or self-insurance carried by 

The City of Lakeland for liability arising out of the operations of this agreement."

extent permitted by its insurance policies.

The Other Party’s deductibles/self-insured retentions shall be disclosed to the City and may be 

disapproved by the City. They shall be reduced or eliminated at the option of the City. The Other Party 

is responsible for the amount of any deductible or self-insured retention.

Insurance required of the Other Party or any other insurance of the Other Party shall be considered

personal injury liability coverage, and to insure the contractual liability assumed by the Other Party under 

the article entitled INDEMNIFICATION, and “Products and Completed Operations” 

coverage.

indication of the amounts of claims payments or reserves chargeable to the aggregate amount of liability 

coverage.

Receipt of certificates or other documentation of insurance or policies or copies of policies by the City, or 

by any of its representatives, which indicate less coverage than required does not constitute a waiver of 

the Other Party’s obligation to fulfill the insurance requirements herein.
Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by laws and regulations, and in consideration of the amount stated 

on any Purchase Order, the Contractor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City, its 

officers, directors, agents, guests, invitees, and employees from and against all liabilities,

damages, losses, and costs, direct, indirect, or consequential (including but not limited to 

reasonable fees and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other professionals and court 

and arbitration costs) arising out of or resulting from any acts of negligence, recklessness or 

intentional wrongful misconduct in the performance of the work by the Contractor, any 

Subcontractor, or any person or organization directly or indirectly employed by any of them to 

perform or furnish any of the work or anyone for whose acts any of them may be liable.

In any and all claims against the City, or any of its officers, directors, agents, or employees by 

any employee of the Contractor, any Subcontractor, any person or organization directly or 

indirectly employed by any of them to perform or furnish any of the work or anyone for whose 

acts any of them may be liable, this indemnification obligation shall not be limited in any way 

by any limitation on the amount or type of damages, compensation, or benefits payable by or for 

the Contractor or any such Subcontractor or other person or organization under workers’ or 

workmen’s compensation acts, disability benefit acts, or other employee benefit acts, nor shall 

this indemnification obligation be limited in any way by any limitation on the amount or type of 

insurance coverage provided by the City, the Contractor, or any of his Subcontractors. To the 

extent this Indemnification conflicts with any provision of Florida Law or Statute, this 

indemnification shall be deemed to be amended in such a manner as to be consistent with such 

Law or Statute.

NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY CONTAINED IN THIS 

CONTRACT OR EACH PURCHASE ORDER OR PROVIDED FOR UNDER ANY 

APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE, EITHER IN CONTRACT OR 

IN TORT, FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, OR

EXHIBITS TO THE CONTRARY, EACH PARTY’S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY AND 

ALL LIABILITY TO THE OTHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH

waive subrogation without an endorsement, then Contractor or Subcontractor agrees to notify 
the insurer and request the policy be endorsed with a Waiver of Transfer of Rights of Recovery 

Against Others, or its equivalent. This Waiver of Subrogation requirement shall not apply to 

any policy, which includes a condition specifically prohibiting such an endorsement, or voids 

coverage should Contractor or Subcontractor enter into such an agreement on a pre-loss basis.

the City and every officer and agent thereof, from all claims and liability hereunder for anything 

done or furnished for, or relating to the work, or for any act or neglect of the City or of any 

person relating to or affecting the work.

Savings Clause: The parties agree that to the extent the written terms of this 

Indemnification conflict with any provisions of Florida laws or statutes, in particular Sections 

725.06 and 725.08 of the Florida Statutes, the written terms of this indemnification shall be 

deemed by any court of competent jurisdiction to be modified in such a manner as to be in full 

and complete compliance with all such laws or statutes and to contain such limiting conditions, 

or limitations of liability, or to not contain any unenforceable, or prohibited term or terms, such 

that this Indemnification shall be enforceable in accordance with and to the greatest extent

ATTACHMENT F

SPECIFICATION SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

(Revised September 2014)

The following safety requirements are comprehensive in nature with some site specificity; 

therefore, not all sections are applicable to every Contract. Please apply those safety 

requirements as site or situation dictates. NOTE: All City project representatives who assume 

responsibility for contract management will be responsible for insuring compliance with these 

safety requirements by all Contractors and/or Subcontractors. 

I. GENERAL

A. The Contractor shall comply with all Federal/State Occupational Safety and 

Health Act (OSHA) Standards and any other rules and regulations applicable to 

construction and/or maintenance activities in the State of Florida. The Contractor 

shall also comply with county, city, or any other agency’s rules and regulations 

regarding safety.

B. The City’s safety personnel or any City supervisor may order that the work be 

stopped if a condition of immediate danger is found to exist. Nothing contained 

herein shall be construed to shift responsibility or risk of loss for injuries or 

damage sustained as a result of a violation of this Article from the Contractor to 

the City; and the Contractor shall remain solely and exclusively responsible for 

compliance with all safety requirements and for the safety of all persons and 

property at the project site.

C. The parties hereto expressly agree that the obligation to comply with applicable 

safety provisions is a material provision of this Contract and a duty of the 

Contractor. The City reserves the right to require demonstration of compliance 

with the safety provisions of this Contract. The parties agree that such failure is 

deemed to be a material breach of this Agreement; and the Contractor agrees upon 

such breach, all work pursuant to the Contract shall terminate until demonstration 

to the City that the safety provisions of this Agreement have been complied with. 

In no event shall action or failure to act on the part of the City be construed as a 

duty to enforce the safety provisions of this Agreement, nor shall it be construed 

to create liability for the City for any act or failure to act in respect to the safety 

provisions of this Agreement.

II. SAFETY EQUIPMENT

All City safety policies and procedures will be strictly adhered to and enforced by the 

City of Lakeland Safety Division, which may include work stoppage or removal of
