8.3 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION – Vendor agrees to
defend, settle, or pay, at its own cost and expense, any claim or action against City for
infringement of any patent, copyright, trade mark, trade secret, or similar property right
arising from City’s use of the software and/or documentation in accordance with this
Agreement, it being understood that this agreement to defend, settle or pay will not apply if
City modifies or misuses the software and/or documentation. So long as Vendor bears the
cost and expense of payment for claims or actions against City pursuant to this section,
Vendor will have the right to conduct the defense of any such claim or action and all
negotiations for its settlement or compromise and to settle or compromise any such claim;
however, City will have the right to fully participate in any and all such settlement,
negotiations, or lawsuit as necessary to protect City’s interest, and City agrees to cooperate
with Vendor in doing so. In the event City, for whatever reason, assumes the responsibility
for payment of costs and expenses for any claim or action brought against City for
infringement arising under this Agreement, City will have the sole right to conduct the
defense of any such claim or action and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise and
to settle or compromise any such claim; however, Vendor will fully participate and cooperate
with City in defense of such claim or action. City agrees to give Vendor timely written notice
of any such claim or action, with copies of all papers City may receive relating thereto.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, City’s assumption of payment of costs or expenses will not
eliminate Vendor’s duty to indemnify City under this Agreement. If the software and/or
documentation or any part thereof is held to infringe and the use thereof is enjoined or
restrained or, if as a result of a settlement or compromise, such use is materially adversely

restricted, Vendor will, at its own expense and as City's sole remedy, either: (a) procure for
City the right to continue to use the software and/or documentation; or (b) modify the
software and/or documentation to make it non-infringing, provided that such modification
does not materially adversely affect City's authorized use of the software and/or
documentation; or (c) replace the software and/or documentation with equally suitable,
compatible, and functionally equivalent non-infringing software and/or documentation at no
additional charge to City; or (d) if none of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available

subsequent to which termination City may seek any and all remedies available to City under
law.

the contract contains a written verification from the company that it: (1) does not boycott energy companies;
and (2) will not boycott energy companies during the term of the contract. The terms “boycott energy
company” and “company” have the meaning ascribed to those terms by Chapter 2276.001 of the Texas
Government Code. To the extent that Chapter 2274 of the Government Code is applicable to this
Agreement, by signing this Agreement, Vendor certifies that Vendor’s signature provides written
verification to the City that Vendor: (1) does not boycott energy companies; and (2) will not boycott
energy companies during the term of this Agreement.

signature. For these purposes, “electronic signature” means electronically scanned and transmitted versions
(e.g. via pdf file or facsimile transmission) of an original signature, or signatures electronically inserted via
software such as Adobe Sign.

It is recommended that the City Council authorize the execution of non-exclusive agreements with
Garrett Demolition, Inc., Intercon Environmental, Inc., RNDI Companies, Inc., and Midwest Wrecking
Co. of Texas, Inc., for structural demolition and asbestos abatement services for all City Departments
in an amount up to $1,200,000.00 and authorize four one-year renewal options in the same amount.
DISCUSSION:
The purpose of this Mayor and Council Communication (M&C) is to authorize the execution of non-
exclusive annual agreements for the demolition of commercial and/or residential structures, including
the removal, transportation, and disposal of associated debris that may contain asbestos-containing
materials. The Environmental Services and Code Compliance Departments manage these services to
ensure compliance with regulations related to any environmental hazards.
Environmental Services staff issued Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 25-0080 that included detailed
specifications describing the responsibilities and requirements to provide these services. The
contracts primarily provide on-call services for abatement of substandard structures or to assist with
redevelopment efforts. These services are task order-based and performed on an as-needed basis.
A Request for Qualifications (RFQ) 25-0080 was advertised in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on
February 05, 2025; February 12, 2025; February 21, 2025; February 26, 2025; and March 05, 2025.
The City received six (6) responses.
To maximize cost savings for the City and ensure efficient service delivery, individual non-exclusive
agreements will be established with up to four of the highest scoring contractors. When a demolition
project arises, each contractor will be asked to submit a cost proposal based on the defined project
scope. The contractor with the lowest cost estimate will be issued a task order to complete the work.
Five companies submitted responsive bids. The Diversity and Inclusion Department/Business Equity
Division deemed Lone Star Trucking and Excavation's bid as non-responsive for failure to comply with
the established Business Equity Goal.
