1. Statement of Services: 
The City grants the County the right to enter upon City property for driver training.  
 
The Parties further agree that the facility use will be limited to driver training. It will require

designated areas and travel upon approved/authorized roads or areas. All equipment, 
vehicles, supplies and other County property placed at the EVOC will be removed before 
the expiration of this Agreement, or within a reasonable time thereafter if unforeseen 
circumstances prevent prompt removal. 
 
Prior to any such entry, use or occupancy, the County shall promptly notify the City prior 
to any use. Direct notification by MCSO to PPD points of contact (POC) is authorized. 
Normal operations permitting, the City will grant access to the property to the County's 
representatives at least seventy-two (72) hours prior to the training to inspect and 
evaluate the suitability and safety of the property for the proposed training. 
 
The Parties agree to conduct a walkthrough of the property prior to and immediately 
following the conclusion of the training to conduct a visual inspection of the property and 
determine the existence of any damage to the property.

exercise. Safety is of the highest concern during all phases of the exercises. No training 
will be conducted at the expense of safe and sound operating procedures. County will 
be responsible to coordinate all arrangements with local medical and emergency 
facilities in the event there may be any actual mishap. County will provide initial 
containment and begin initial documentation for any spills, no matter the size or 
quantity, associated with the exercises and notify City of such spills as soon as 
practicable but prior to departure from the Property. Any spill quantity reaching external 
agency reporting thresholds will be done by County as specified by and in accordance 
with applicable federal and state requirements. County will also be responsible to 
provide spill or hazardous waste response in accordance with all applicable federal and 
state requirements.

ARTICLE VI. INDEMNIFICATION AND RISK RELEASE 
 
1. Liability: 
If any action of County's employees, affiliates, agents, contractors, or subcontractors 
in the exercise of this Agreement results in damage to the real property, County will 
either repair such damage or make an appropriate settlement with the City. In no 
event shall such repair or settlement exceed the fair market value of the fee title to 
the real property at the time immediately preceding such damage. County's liability 
under this clause is subject to the availability of appropriations for such payment, and 
nothing contained in this agreement may be considered as implying that County's 
funding sources will at a later date appropriate funds sufficient to meet any 
deficiencies. 
 
The provisions of this clause are without prejudice to any rights the City may have to 
make a claim under Arizona Revised Statutes §12-820 through §12-826, as 
appropriate, for any damages other than those provided for herein. 
 
The City shall not be responsible or liable for injuries to persons or damage to persons 
or property when such injuries or damages are caused by or result from County's use 
of the premises under the terms of this Agreement and are not due to the negligence 
of the City. 
 
Notice of Hazardous Conditions. City makes no representation that the Property 
is suitable for performing the desired exercises. County representatives will inspect 
and evaluate the suitability and safety of the Property prior to each approved training 
exercise. County acknowledges that the Property may contain hazardous 
conditions. Any question of City's liability for damage or destruction to County 
property or equipment, or injury to or death of County employees, affiliates, agents, 
contractors, or subcontractors, will take into account City's lack of any 
representations regarding the suitability and safety of the Property, the duty of the 
County to inspect and evaluate the Property, and the County notification of possible 
hazardous conditions when considering whether City breached any duty owed to 
County that resulted in damage or injury. 
 
2. Indemnification: 
Each party (as “Indemnitor”) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the 
other party (as “Indemnitee”) from and against any and all claims, losses, liability, 
costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) (“Claims”), but only to the 
extent that such Claims which result in vicarious/derivative liability to the Indemnitee 
are caused by the act, omission, negligence, misconduct, or other fault of the 
Indemnitor, its officers, officials, agents, employees, or volunteers. 
 
Each party must use its best efforts to cause all contractors (each an “Additional 
Indemnitor”) to indemnify, defend, save and hold harmless the other party from and 
against any and all Claims caused, or alleged to be caused, in whole or in part, by 
the negligent or willful acts or omissions of the Additional Indemnitor [and persons for

Last revised: July 25, 2023 
8 
 
whom they are vicariously liable]. 
 
Indemnifications Survive. The provisions of this Agreement wherein a Party has 
explicitly indemnified the other Party shall survive the expiration or earlier termination 
of this Agreement. 
 
 
ARTICLE VII. NOTICES

Agreement must be in writing and either delivered in person, sent by facsimile
