6. Disasters. <br />The occurrence of any natural or man-made disaster, when declared as such by federal, state, or <br />local government, such as a hurricane, tornado, flood, any act of God, etc., may result in the <br />impossibility of performance of this agreement. The parties agree that this agreement regarding <br />County performance standards and response time set forth elsewhere in this agreement shall be <br />considered temporarily suspended during any such state of disaster. <br />7. Liability. <br />To the extent allowable by Florida law, the County will only be responsible for claims, demands, <br />suits, liabilities, damages, and losses arising out of or resulting from the negligent acts of <br />commission or omission by its contractors, subcontractors, employees, agents or representatives. <br />Nothing in the Agreement shall be construed as any waiver of sovereign immunity by either party <br />to this contract. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit any actions for recovery the County may <br />have against contractors or contracted workers for any action. <br />8. Third Parties. <br />The City agrees that the County may enter into services or maintenance agreements with third <br />party providers with respect to any or all the services contemplated herein, either on a full-time or <br />stand-by basis provided the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or any agreement executed <br />between the parties shall continue to govern the relationship. <br />9. Response Time. <br />It is the County's goal to use its best efforts to respond to any emergency repair request in as close <br />to a "zero response time" as possible, but certainly within a period of two (2) hours following <br />receipt of notice and to respond to non -emergency or routine repair requests within a period of <br />twenty-four (24) hours following notice. For the purposes of measuring the "response time" for <br />this agreement, a "request" will be considered "received" upon a direct request from appropriate <br />City staff or notification of a malfunction by the County's intersection monitoring software. <br />An emergency status shall be considered to exist where damage to a traffic signal or device or the <br />malfunction or failure thereof results or has resulted in the creation of a serious present or <br />impending traffic hazard; for example, total loss of power; loose, hanging equipment; loss of a red <br />signal color indication, or flashing operation at a "critical intersection" as identified by the <br />County's monitoring software. <br />A non -emergency or routine repair status shall exist where the damage or malfunction does not <br />create a serious or immediate traffic hazard, for example, non -red LED out flashing operation at <br />non-critical times and intersections. The inability of the County to respond within the stated period <br />where good cause exists shall not be considered a breach of the agreement. <br />10. City Responsibilities. <br />The City shall: <br />a) Notify the County of any known issues or constriction activity affecting signals <br />
